Today’s Totally Cool Tech: The Voice Activated Thermostat – $100 @ Hammacher Schlemmer (via TechFresh), The Solar Automower from Husqvarna – $3,000 (via Inhabitiat), The Air Force Golf Club – USGA Legal (via DVICE), Portable Personal Humidifier by Supentown- $50 @ ComfortFirst.com
Using advanced voice recognition technology, this is the thermostat that can be programmed using only your voice and clearly articulates the current indoor temperature. Endorsed by the National Federation of the Blind, the thermostat is ideal for the visually impaired or those who struggle with technology.
The Automower runs on batteries, there are no emissions generated by the robot mower, and the actual energy consumption is very low. The running costs are only around 12 to 25 dollars per year for the electricity consumed, depending on the size of the lawn.
“Air Force One” is the monicker that PowerBilt has bestowed upon its newest drivers, fairway woods and hybrids (available in Jan. 2009). Nitrogen is what’s inside them all. What PowerBilt calls “Nitrogen-Charged Technology” is this: clubheads filled to high pressures with nitrogen gas. The nitrogen can be injected at pressures up to 150 psi (a resin coats the interior of the clubhead, preventing leakage) and buttresses the clubface, providing support without requiring mechanical bracing.
Compact and lightweight, this personal humidifier offers portability that is perfect for travel use. Small enough to easily fit in your luggage or carry on. Two different sized bottle adapters and a 100~240V AC adapter allows universal usage. All you need to obtain at destination is a bottle of water.
