Most people get a watch to be able to tell time, however, there are some watches out there that make telling the time a huge event. Check out these crazy time pieces.from TokyoFlash we get a watch that you really have to learn…

The first dozen LED’s light up one per hour (and the top row of them also shows the name, JLR7). The next three – in a matt band – light up every 15 minutes; the next 14 do so every minute. The final three – also in a matt band every second.

crazy gadget April 6th, 2009

WTF? come now, this is one of the more absurd gadgets I have seen, For Sure.bra dryer - crazy gadgetI do admit, it is a very cool looking hi tech piece that some may even want to use as hi tech art.The company believes that this is an item that has been missing and is planning on getting the “boulder holder” dryer on the market by next year.The perks, so to speak of the bra dryer are that they keep the cups in perfect position as they dry unlike more standard methods such as tumble dryig or hanging on a line.  I gotta wonder whats next for these guys… the boxer / brief dryer comes to mind to make sure that men also get a cool looking gizmo for theit undies.

Energy Saving Homemede Washers

Home appliances, Home made gizmo, Washers, crazy gadget December 4th, 2008

In a time when everyone seems to be pushing for green appliances it may be time to re-evaluate one of the largest energy hogs in my home, the washer / dryer.

Now, I am sure there are some energy efficient models sold in every department store around the country, but just walking into a store and buying that shiny showcased appliance certainly isn’t as much fun as building one yourself. Homemade washing machine? sounds like fun.

And, who says it has to be some large techie project? check out this energy efficient clothing washer below. It needs no power, little water and runs on leg power. I’ll call this the  “good for your heart” model. Can’t beat that with a stick.

This one here, a bit more complex than the previous washer model above. A lot more work to build, but, you get a lot more washer. Also, you get more of a health benefit for using it since now you aren’t just walking to do the laundry, but cycling. The cool thing about this one is you no longer have to worry about your clothing shrinking in the laundry and not fitting you. Along with the shrinking clothes, you will also have a shrinking waistline. If you do laundry for a large family, you may have to sneak in a few cheeseburgers between loads to make sure that you don’t out-shrink than your clothing. The environment friendly washer below is also a dryer.

Check it out.
