It would be hard to overlook the numerous steampunk gadgets that people have built and sold. However, I can’t say that I’ve come across anyone that has as many and as broad of a collection as Ivan Mavrovic. His features everything from a pen disguised as a gun, to toothbrushes and razors. The most interesting out of the bunch are the several cellphones that he’s managed to steampunk. It appears his specialty is with Nokia phones since all of the phones he’s managed to steampunk appear to be Nokia phones. Each one of the phones look very different from the rest. They’re all fully functioning despite their antique appearance. Unfortunately, it doesn’t appear that these are up for sale, but it might be possible to contact the designer to have something like this made for you. That is if you have a whole lot of cash that you’re willing to spend. Source: Neatorama

At first I wasn’t the most thrilled over the idea of someone peeing and washing your hands in the same place. Honestly, once you really think it through although it is odd, it would save on space and spending money on multiple fixtures in bathrooms. Plus, it couldn’t be much more unsanitary than washing your hands right next to the toilet, which is the case in most bathrooms. On the bottom of it all is a urinal then up top is the sink. The water that you use to wash your hands is used to wash out the urinal. With that extra design quality it’ll help to save on water, which could really cut down on the bill for any large establishment like a restaurant. This was a iF Concept Design winning entry and for good reason. It was designed by Yeongwoo Kim. Source: Treehugger

This is the Mag Gun controller, and it is probably one of the most advanced FPS gun controllers that I have ever seen. I have included a video after the jump if you want to see it in action, and it has a lot of action to see. You will note how the controller has a joystick on it that will control in-game movement, and it looks like all the other major controls are located in a very convenient place. Another thing you might note is how it has a wide-angle camera that can be calibrated with just touch of a button. It also has a sensitivity dial atop of it for some serious user adjustment. Best of all, the Mag Gun appears to be compatible with practically any console. I believe that the video specified the Xbox 360 and PS3, but there is nothing about the Wii. Somehow, I am not surprised at that. Now, if only someone would go and mass produce this thing. That’s right, this is not an official product as yet. It made a debut a recent Hong Kong gaming show, ...

I’ve never felt the need to own his and hers thermometers. After all, they all check your temperature well enough. Sure, some are better to use on squirming children, but between men and women it’s all pretty much the same. However, the Japanese feel very different than I do as it turns out. Instead of sharing a thermometer, they have a special washable thermometer just for women. This Celsius thermometer features a backlight that’ll allow for you to even read the temperature in the dark. Again, yet another thing that I didn’t think I needed. It’s always so nice to have vendors out there to let you know what you didn’t know you always needed. Like a pink little thermometer that can be washed up after you’re finished. These will be released September 1st for only $35. Source: Gizmodiva

I remember growing up in the 80’s, I had a friend who had a Commodore 64. Even though he only had a black-and-white monitor that was nothing more than a TV, I was amazed at what he could do with a modem and 5 1/4 floppy disks. Commodore 64 apparently sold 30 million units, which makes it the best selling computer of all time. Yes, I a surprised that no one has passed that record. Commodore plans to offer the PC64, an Intel Atom-powered PC that has 4GB of DDR3 memory, SATA 1 TB HDD, an optical drive of DVD/CD, or optional Blu-ray, and HDMI output. Plus it has that awesome beige keyboard, with the keys that will probably click like they did thirty years ago. At least this is what my Source says that it has. I don’t really understand why I have a picture saying “Insert PC Here”. After all, I thought that the Commodore keyboard things that we were seeing here was the PC. Perhaps it should say “insert monitor here”. It’s nice to know that they have some ...

I always like seeing this cars that look more like rockets, designed to do nothing more than just go really, really, really fast. This is one of the latest of these super-fast vehicles, known as the Venturi Buckeye Bullet. It was built by student engineers, at Ohio State University’s Center for Automotive Research. It also runs on hydrogen, and it just achieved an average speed of 307.7 mph at a two-run pass at the Bonneville Salt Flats on August 24. I must admit that I have never been to the Salt Flats before, but if this picture is what they look like, then it looks like a frozen over ocean. I like how the Venturi Buckeye Bullet looks a lot like a shark in the midst of these frozen-over waters. As for the “car”, for lack of a better word, is about 36 feet long and is only 1.5 inches from the ground. The battery pack in the Venturi Buckeye Bullet V 2.5, is capable of providing “instantaneous power of more than 600 kW. The pack reportedly uses 1,600 ce...
