Wow, check out this gizmo that duplicated up to 20 USB Flash drives at one time! These days, with so many people carrying their 4GB flash drives on their neck, keychain, etc…etc…, these Giant USB Duplicators can be useful for companies trying to promote their businesses.

(For example, you could put a 4 Gigabytes of company presentations, videos, documents, etc…etc… so your clients can carry it in their pocket instead of giving them a CD, which are just way too outdated these days. Plus, you put your logo on the flash drive, it can be great viral marketing even if your client decides to erase everything and use it for personal use.)

Great Features

» Copy 20 USB flash drive automatically
» High Speed USB 2.0
» User friendly software interface
» Erase feature for USB flash memory
» Volume naming option for flash drive ID
» Format feature for those pesky unformatted drives
» Embedded verification function to insure accuracy
» Contemporary design with heavy duty case for 24/7 operation
» Copy to any size flash drive combination and from any manufacturer
» 30MBs to 20 devices is about 40 seconds.
» 250MBs to 20 devices is about 4 minutes.

You can check out their product page or press release.

FYI, this device also runs on Windows XP, meaning it’s not a standalone device. That is not a good sign. But, they ARE working on a standalone device already! (These guys are good!)

The cost for this machine is $1299, a lot cheaper than many other USB duplicators out there. Go buy one and try it. If it works well, tell us about it.

Designs like this one get my attention while SiteHoppin. It’s an awesome USB Bomb that can store, well, let’s just say it’s more practical to put a harddisk inside it than a flash memory. Besides, you could probably fit several harddrives in this weapon of mass storage.

Like it?

Well, I believe it’s only a concept right now.

Designed by Mexico City industrial designer Joel Escalona.  (Awesome designs Joel!)

Check out this really cool “automatic ball throwing machine” for your dog. Set it on and your dog will play tirelessly while you can focus on working from home or doing your dishes.

We couldn’t find any sources other than this Tennis ball throwing machine patent and a simliar device called GoDogGo!. We think it’s basically a tennis ball throwing machine that can be used for your dog.

Even better, you could probably hack one up yourself if you were a good hacker.

Check out this USBeeee… weeeeee! I wonder if it will make it to production…

Serbian designer Damjan Stankovic, believes that flexibility in design can solve this problem. His “USBee” Flash Memory Drive won the first prize at the MS Industrial USB Competition held by the Serbian Design Community forum DizajnZona™. Ergonomically designed to bend at life’s will in any direction, this USB flash drive features a vented housing for cooling(I did not realize these needed cooling), and a detachable protective cap that snaps onto the back end of the device when not in use. No word yet if this will go into production, so all claims of memory capacity are a moot point.

Wow, check out this GIANT volume meter! So cool lookin’~

Looks like it’s some type of microcontroller with bunch of replays… Looks pretty simple to build… (the controls i mean)

“Volumen”, a giant graphic equalizer built by Argentinian artist, Sergio Avello relays the ambient urban noise levels around the Redgaleria in Buenos Aires. Pretty intense way of visualizing the constant buzz of the city, plus nice shots of the internal circuits at the below link.

Haha, this one is cool one to have.

The curtain control system is an existing system from Goelst and is called “G-Rail 6200″. Normally it is controlled by infrared or wallswitches. However, it can also be controlled with a CAN bus. I used this CAN bus to interface with an old PC.
