The problem with current wheelchairs? They’re not versatile enough for developing countries’ unpaved roads, steep hillsides and generally handicap unfriendly buildings. Enter the Leveraged Freedom Chair, a more powerful wheelchair controlled by levers that moves like a mountain bike

The Magic Carp-pet – Please don’t feed the fish
We’ve been so bombarded with all these 3D images and special effects, that sometimes I find myself waiting for even newer and more complex technology. My daughter doesn’t even want to go see a move anymore if it isn’t in 3D and I wonder to myself, whats next? Let me share with you John Leung’s “Magic Carp-pet,” made in collaboration with Australian architectural and design firm, ClarkeHopkinsClark, which uses what looks like a slatted coffee table and a black and white carp print rug to produce an effect that allows anyone moving around the table to see a school of swimming carp gracefully animating.

Leaked Phone: Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo
Techradar just previewed the Sony Ericsson Xperia Neo, the believed-to-be successor of the rather underwhelming Sony Ericsson Vivaz. Expected to be announced at MWC 2011, it sounds like another solid effort on the hardware end for the company. Most notable appearance-wise is the design, which is practically a copy of the Vivaz. While I’m not particularly fond of it, we guess the company saw plenty of merits in the original form factor, deciding to give it a fresh start

Cella Energy says its hydrogen microbeads could fuel your car, cost $1.50 per gallon
Your average hydrogen-powered car is a marvel of modern science — fuel cell sifting electrons out of pure H2 and emitting nothing but water — powered by big, heavy, high-pressure tanks of gas. Cella Energy is here to ditch the tank, having first developed a means of storing hydrogen in microfibers that could greatly simplify the design of these vehicles. But, perhaps even more impressive is a “synthetic fuel” the company is working on which is, essentially, pure hydrogen captured into microbeads.
