Emotiv Insight is a sleek, 5-channel, wireless EEG headset that records your brainwaves and translates them into meaningful data you can understand. Designed for everyday use, Insight boasts advanced electronics that are fully optimized to produce clean, robust signals anytime, anywhere.
#3 The Rochester Cloak
scientists have recently developed several ways—some simple and some involving new technologies—to hide objects from view. The latest effort, developed at the University of Rochester, not only overcomes some of the limitations of previous devices, but it uses inexpensive, readily available materials in a novel configuration. ‘Cloaking’ device uses ordinary lenses to hide objects across range of angles.
#4 Flyboard Air
four engines inside and the power is 250 horsepower each. It’s about 1,000 horsepower total, a logic board and a backpack full of kerosene.It’s a logic system inside the board that helps stabilize the machine.
#5 Robo-Glove
Researchers at the NASA Johnson Space Center (JSC) in collaboration with General Motors (GM) have designed and developed Robo-Glove, a wearable human grasp assist device, to help reduce the grasping force needed by an individual to operate tools for an extended time or when performing tasks having repetitive motion.
#6 JetPack Aviation
JPA successfully demonstrated a production grade, proof of concept personal VTOL solution. turbine powered JetPack is safe and reliable, the personal VTOL vehicle received FAA approval for a public flight!
#7 PVAC
Engineering students at Utah State University designed what could be the next high-tech device for military special forces.
The Air Force asked engineering students at 17 universities to design a system allowing a team of four special forces personnel to scale buildings or mountain faces under a variety of conditions without a grappling hook. Weight of the system had to be less than 20 pounds, with a goal of 5 pounds.
