Top Ten Funny Tech Inventions

Yesterday while surfing net I stumbled upon some whacky inventions, I thought why not compile a list of Top ten and publish it here. So here we go...

1) USB Powered Necktie: A USB powered fan hidden in the fake Windsor knot, which blows air to the wearers face. I cant say how useful it is but be sure that after wearing those in your office you will sure look the weirdest and geekiest person in your office.




2) USB Cushion: A USB cushion designed to keep your butt cooler when things get hot at your work desk. It is fitted with USB powered fan which blows air from the tiny holes on the cushion surface.







3) Flashbag: Seeing is believing, that's what a Russian company has shown. If you are fed up with checking the space in your flash drive every time, this is for you. The size of the device changes depending on the amount of data it holds as it literally blows up in size as it is loaded with data. It comes back to its original shape as data is removed.


4) Portable Phone Booth: Want some private space to chat on your cell phone while on the busy metro rail, no problem just carry these wearable phone booth branded as "Cell Atlantic CellBooth". Zip it around yourself and bingo! you have got a private booth anywhere and everywhere to use.







5) Potato Battery: Potatoes connected to generate electricity, What was he thinking to eliminate energy crisis!! I just don't understand the usefulness of this invention, well how many people are going to grow or rather buy 500 pounds of potatoes just to generate power enough for a small sound system !!




6) Alarm Clock that runs away from you: Now comes a clock which literally runs and hides if you don't get out of the bed in time. It keeps ringing until you find and silence it, so even the most lazy ones have to get up and get rolling. It finds new places to hide everyday, so be prepared to play hide-and-seek game.






7) The Teen Repellent: This well thought and nifty invention that will keep away those pesky teens away from you. It is a device that emits irritating high frequency sounds, heard by only people below 20 years.








8) LED Umbrella: If you have any desire to be looked upon as the next "geek god", here's the perfect tool for it, next generation Star Wars "light saber with a hood". That was the first impression which I got about this umbrella. It is embedded with a LED light inside the handle which is supposed to lighten your path.







9) USB Missile Launcher: Bomb your neighboring colleague if he refuses to pass the pen, or you just invade the unsuspecting next door cubicle with this missile launcher. The launcher tilts and rotates through the included software and is complete with sound effects. With just a click it launches a foam projectile to vanquish your office enemies.




10) USB BBQ: Feeling lazy to get out of your comfortable computer seat to cook that meat you brought yesterday? Don't worry, this USB BBQ is just for you. Manufactured by few "talented" inventors, it works on 30 USB ports spread out over five USB PCI cards. This thing sure is going to make the hall of fame.
