The idea is to make headlamps for the bicycle of LED light stylishly integrated into the handlebars. The headlamps can be made by cutting strips from the handlebars and supporting them with transparent plastic tubing. The LED bulbs will be installed inside the plastic tubes and will be powered by a watch battery.

A new way of boiling water without creating bubbles could help to reduce the risk of explosions in nuclear reactors and chemical plants. The technique is based on Leidenfrost effect, which causes water dropped on an extremely hot surface to evaporate and form a vapor layer on which the liquid floats without bubbling. Once the surface layer cools, however, the vapor layer collapses and the water will begin to bubble violently. To counteract this, it is possible to develop a...

The portable gamma camera will be able to create radiation heat maps in real time, making it much easier to find hotspots. The gamma camera will use a regular camera to record image information along with integrated semiconductor detection elements to gather the radiation data. A signal processor will combine the images and superimpose the radiation information as a color code on the camera's visual display.

Checking the air pressure in your tires could soon be a thing of the past with the self-inflating tires, which use the forces of the rolling tire to maintain the ideal pressure. The tires take advantage of the technology, which includes a rubber tube embedded in the wall of tire that is squeezed shut as the tire rolls along the pavement. An internal regulator senses when the air pressure drops below a certain level, opening a valve to allow the outside air to enter the rolling tire...

So, what should you take for winter fishing ... Firstly, buy suitable fishing tackles for the place you are going to fish: fishing rods; thin but strong fishing line (do NOT save on the fishing line!); spoon-bait. Choose a float of an appropriate capacity: it should correspond to the spoon-bait. The floats can be made of flat spring steel or twisted spring wire. Secondly, buy or make a comfortable case. You will also need an ice drill or ice pick to make holes in...

The universal earphones will be able to automatically detect which ear they are in and adjust the sound accordingly. Each earbud will contain a microchip able to sense its proximity to the ear, which will vary slightly depending upon the placements of the earphones. Once the earphones determine which ear they are in, the sound will be directed to the proper channels. It is also possible to use a sensor that will detect when the earphones are removed from the ears,...

A new laser technique will be able to make speaker sound 'visible', making it easier to track and eliminate audio dead spots. The new laser light method will involve placing a laser to the side of the test speaker and scanning its beam through various points in front of the speaker. The beams will be reflected to a vibrometer receiver, which will then build images of the sound waves and locate the dead spots.

The jacket will be basically a wearable bag, carrying your gear and clothing and leaving your hands free. The jacket will be a lightweight vest with twelve pockets hidden in the lining and two zip pockets on the outside. The jacket will hold up to 11 pounds of clothes, including a pair of jeans, a sweater, and four t-shirts, and will be made of durable ripstop Nylon and polyester with a microfleece- lined collar.

A new LED street lamp design will help curb light pollution. Most street lamps use lamps that spill light in unnecessary directions, such as upwards into the sky. In contrast, the new LED street lamp design will feature LED lights mounted within a small housing and covered by a lens and diffusing layer. The lens will keep the light from scattering, the housing will reflect any spilled light back to the ground, and the diffuser will help to reduce glare. Because fewer lamps...
