Luckily now we have a much simpler solution to simulate the great V8 engine sounds in your overly silent car. By plugging the Sound Racer FM transmitter into your car’s cigarette lighter socket. The Sound Racer will then produce the sports car engine sounds that will get you to feel that you’re in a big race.

The Sound racer does not simply blast some non-sense engine sounds, it does go accordingly to your car engine RPM. It’s been designed to be able to sense and calculate the car engine RPM and produce the sounds of a powerful Super Sports Car engine. The sound changes as you drive and SoundRacer even increases the speed of the engine sound even you drive at a normal speed to get you the exciting engine sounds.

The device is simply an FM transmitter which transmits the engine sounds to your car stereo. While you’re not in the mood of hearing any engine sounds, you can use it as a standard FM transmitter for MP3 players, which you can hook up an iPod or iPhone through its line-in input for sending tunes to the car stereo. Unfortunately, it does not have a USB input or memory card slot for playing tunes on a USB drive or memory card.

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.

A digital peephole viewer is definitely much more effective than having to look through the regular peep hole, which occasionally blocks your eyes from grabbing a clearer picture of the one at the door.

Most of the time, you’ll only see the hair and perhaps part of the nose and the mouth with a regular peep hole, so it’s hard for you tell if it’s a salesman knocking your door. But with the Digital Peephole viewer, you’ll be able to see the person from the head down to the chest part, so it’s much clearer that you could quickly recognize from the face or the name tag sticking on the right pocket of his shirt that he is actually a salesman.

The Digital peephole viewer is pretty easy to setup and replace your existing peep hole. It takes you only 5 minutes to set it up. Using it is easy too, which you just need to press a button and you can even press further to zoom the picture. This digital peephole costs around $138, needs a few AA batteries that will last for about 1,700 views.
