Liberty AV DL-AR Universal HDMI Adapter Ring

Anyone who has ever facilitated  presentations knows how easily presentation adapters can go  missing. Inevitably, the adapter needed by a presenter was used by the previous presenter, who mistakenly packed it up with the rest of his/her gear. Meaning that the crucial adapter is now across town, or worse yet, on an airplane bound for who-knows-where. 

Introducing the breakthrough DigitaLinx Universal HDMI Adapter Ring - a flexible stainless steel ring that locks the presentation adapters right where they're needed - to the HDMI cable.

The DL-AR bundle comes with all of  the most popular adapters, including  all of the following items:

• (1) DL-CL -
  • (1) Locking Stainless Steel Wire Ring

UNPRINTER

Researchers at the University of Cambridge in the UK have developed a method for removing laser-printed text from paper. It could mean devices used for security, recycling or both.

The technique worked by using the laser beam to apply the right level of heat for a mere four billionths of a second. It isn’t a case of the words dropping off the page: the heat vaporized the toner, with the resulting gas being captured in a filter. Allwood says the technique worked on a range of toners and does not damage the paper or leave it unable to “receive” toner in the future.

Inventions: WHEELS

The wheel is everywhere on all our cars, trains, planes, machines, wagons, and most factory and farm equipment. What could we move without wheels? But as important as the wheel is as an invention, we don't know who exactly made the first wheel. A wheel is a device that allows heavy objects to be moved easily through rotating on an axle through its center, facilitating movement or transportation while supporting a load, or performing labor in machines. Common examples found in transport applications. A wheel, together with an axle, overcomes friction by facilitating motion by rolling. In order for wheels to rotate, a moment needs to be applied to the wheel about its axis, either by way of gravity, or by application of another external force. More generally the term is also used for other circular objects that rotate or turn.

Wheels are very important chapter in human history and development. Wheels have very symbolic importance in all the cultures or religions or nations. We have our own national flag with Ashok Chakra in the centre. So wheels are most important invention made by humans. Wheels brought the world closer and made humans life easy. Today we can’t imagine our lives without wheels.

Innovative Gadgets: "LILY LIGHT"

The Lili Lite is a bookshelf that can do so much more than just hold books. Ok, not that much more but it does have a nice looking design with an integrated reading light underneath. It also has a peak in the middle which is made to function as a bookmark and keep your book open to the page where you stopped reading. The most interesting part about the Lili Lite is that when you place your book down on the “bookmark”, the light will automatically turn off and when you pick the book up again, the light turns on. That’s smart! You can also turn the light on the old fashioned way with a switch.

Recycled Cartridge Lamp

Ink jet printers tend to go through ink cartridges at incredibly fast paces. Millions of ink cartridges are thrown away each year or recycled, or occasionally you find a method to refill them, although most printer manufacturers warn you not to mostly because they make significantly more money from the ink than from the printers themselves. But there’s other ways to recycle them.

One crafty Etsy seller, Boxlightbox, has managed to find a great use for all the empty cartridges his company was discarding- he turned them into lamps.

Cigarette Shaped Lighter

It’s a refillable butane lighter in the shape and form of a cigarette. This lighter has a clear advantage over a normal sized lighter- it can easily slip into your pack of cigarettes. Although I suppose that you could slip in a regular lighter into your pack too but you’d have to take out more smokes to fit it. So it’s a novelty, but then you’re looking at a lighter and you’re on CraziestGadgets.com so really what did you expect?
