But now with this wireless radio-based Flash trigger control, you can easily take your best shots single-handedly. The wireless Flash trigger consists of a transmitter and a receiver. The transmitter is to hook into the camera’s hotshoe while the receiver is to be attached to the hotshoe base of battery-powered flash unit.

With the wireless flash trigger set up on your camera, every time you take a shot, the transmitter then sends a signal wirelessly to the receiver to get the flash to fire. In this way, the camera and the flash unit can fire synchronously within the effective area (up t0 30m).

The little wireless flash trigger costs only $23.70, which is a much cheaper than investing on a high-end camera that comes with wireless flash controller.

The purple beam and the near-UV capability make this laser pointer unique and it’s powered by 2 AAA batteries but manages to output 20mW of power. And the light source of this little pointer is a genuine Sony Blue-Ray diode.

It looks fun, but should be kept away from kids. As it can burn stuff and can be one of the essential tools in the Chemistry labs for altering some atomic structure. Since it outputs UV, I believe it can be used to kill some germs around, but you’ll need to apply it with care.

The little question is wearing USB gloves, having a wire connected to the USB port may hinder you from typing as comfortably as while without them. It’d be much more convenient if they could get cordless, such as having an internal battery rechargeable via the USB port And you could then detach the connection once the battery gets full, so you could type more freely.

Anyway, these USB gloves are available in two colors, black and white. The black is recommended for men while the white is recommended for women. People living outside Japan can get the gloves from Geekstuff4u store as Thanko has closed their English online store.

The Zinc Air battery simply sucks the oxygen from room air to generate current. Air and zinc are the electrodes, making zinc air safer than lithium-ion batteries as no volatile materials contained within that could possibly catch fire.

Zinc Air was developed by Norway firm, SINTEF and being marketed by ReVolt. The prototype been designed to fit smaller form factor and power-hungry mobile gadgets. It’d also be made for automobile industries in the form of rechargeable battery packs for electric vehicles.

The two companies are still striving to improve the recharging cycle counts of the battery before getting it to the next step. ReVolt is hoping the Zinc could reach at least 500 recharging cycles to be more solid to kick Lithium Ion battery away.
