The hectic life of all days has significant consequences on our physical and it is no secret that stress causes health problems far from negligible. Sometimes we need someone or something to give us a signal and forces us to take a deep breath and analyze the situation calmly. For this reason it is born Wellbe.

It is a bracelet with smart functions that can monitor our health through the heartbeat and crossing this information with the time of day, the place where we are and the people who are with us, thanks to the connection with the appointment calendar. It is controlled through the appropriate app that alerts us when they come one or more potentially stressful conditions and sends us a notification with the intent to calm down. “Drink a nice drink of water” or “Relax!” Are some of the messages that we receive, hackneyed phrases, but at the right time could prevent strong stress or even fits of rage.

is Wellbe already available on Indiegogo priced at $ 130 and the first deliveries are planned for March 2016.

2) The cup that recharges the smartphone with the heat

Sometimes you do not need to create inventions beautiful huge team of development engineers or graduates in the most famous universities, but just the brilliant mind of a little girl , as happened in this case Ann Makosinski. It is a 18 year-old Canadian with different experiences already behind, who invented a cup that can recharge the smartphone using the heat produced by the liquid contained in it.

It’s called E-Green and is one of those environmentally friendly products it needs our environment, and for the exploitation of clean energy, both for the composition of the same cup, built mostly with recycled materials from an old project of Ann. The girl had already become famous two years ago for the invention of a torch can ignite due to the heat of our hand and, using a similar principle, has created E-Green. While his Magic Torch is already in mass production, the cup has not yet been fully revealed the details to the public, but, given the ability of Ann, the experts do not have a lot of doubts about its future success.



3) The wheel of the car falls off and becomes an autonomous vehicle

The combination of cars and alternative means of transport is not entirely new. In the past some houses had planned to include in trunks of their cars electric motors or folding bikes, capable of carrying the owner, without polluting, even in areas with limited traffic. The idea this time is a bit ‘more complex.

In fact, Ford has patented a mechanism that allows you to park your car, remove a wheel, and turn it into a kind of unicycle powered by electricity, which can then around most of roadblocks typical of urban areas. The invention could also be very useful in the case where the driver is forced to park away from their destination. The idea proposed by Ford would even be to concentrate the parking lots on the outskirts, in order to allow the circulation within the city only to this kind of electric vehicles, greatly reducing emissions. The only doubt at the time, as often happens in the field of electric vehicles, affecting the autonomy and safety of the vehicle, but if Ford decided to invest important resources that probably means we will soon see interesting developments.

The drone market is constantly expanding and the uses of these devices There are many, from the use of war to the private sector. There are legions of fans who buy and build increasingly sophisticated drones, capable of flying at great heights and maybe make movies and spectacular photographs, unthinkable without a support of this type.

If you also want to try the ‘ thrill of controlling a drone and see him fly, now there PhoneDrone, an invention that can transform your regular phone into a real drone. The principle is to take advantage of the hardware of the smartphone, such as processor and camera, and integrate it with a structure able to lift it into the air and carry it.

The campaign has already collected more than triple to 100,000 dollars required departing and PhoneDrone is in fact already be ordered on Indiegogo to 275 dollars, a figure not negligible but definitely much lower than is required for most of the drones for sale.

Fans of the movie Back to the Future will remember the legendary jacket worn by the protagonist, Michael j. Fox, in the role of Marty McFly, in one of the films of the famous trilogy. The revolutionary feature of this garment was the ability to dry by itself in no time, a function far from useless, and so someone decided to realize it really well.

The name, not too original , is Self Drying Jacket, code SDJ-01, and is a normal jacket on which was mounted a fan at waist height, which circulates air from the bottom to the other, creating a pressure such that it then escape from the appropriate ventilation holes. The manufacturer ensures that this mechanism is able to completely dry the coat in only one minute, even after having been thoroughly wet by rain. The project on Kickstarter called for the modest sum of 10 thousand dollars, soon reached and exceeded. Therefore expect the dates for the real marketing, the selling price will be $ 189.
