Mobile Battery Chargers and Other Alternatives

When you are out on the road or stranded in some isolated places without any electrical or battery supplies, a mechanical charger would come in handy as it enables you to charge the device mechanically (in another word, manually).

Spokeless Bicycle Wheels

Nine mechanical engineering seniors doing their majors came up with a prototype rear wheel that is spokeless and do away with the conventional hubs and rear tubes. Does this new invention has what it takes to go into the market? I think its cool.

Former Rocket Scientist Invents Golf Gadgets

This device does not need rocket science, but its invented by a former Rocket Scientist of NASA.

Tom Cannon found an article where Golfers were told to achieve a 45 degree upwards shot to achieve the maximum distance, by using in a square box as a guide. According to ballistics calculations for a cannon ball, or any projectile in flight, 45 degrees is the best angle for maximum distance. His solution is simply to attach a small spirit-level near to the handle so that the golfer can check the angle. The plastic device looks like a toy ring, with a flat coin-sized head that encases a bubble level that clips onto the top of the club, or grip, and includes markings to show when the club is properly aligned at a 45-degree angle.
