Water From Thin Air?

Just when you thought it was crazy to produce fresh water from seawater, Aqua Science Corp has developed a way to make it out of THIN AIR! Apparently there is enough water in the air, even dry desert air, to produce substantial water. The machine's workings are a trade secret but the CEO of Aqua Science did give us a clue: "Think of rice used in saltshakers that acts as a magnet to extract water and keeps salt from clumping." That still seems like rocket science to me. Link.

I Would Not Step Into This Elevator!

And you might not, too. But alas, the elevator with no floor is just an eye illusion print on a solid floor that is so realistic that it just about fools everybody. This kind of reminds me of Indiana Jones when he had to make thate Leap of Faith over the canyon for the Holy Grail only to find that there was a passage way painted so real that it was camoflage against the background. In this case, the artist on the elevator even put up a sign to say "work in progress." I wonder what else it says. Maybe my Chinese-reading audience may translate for me.

Red One High Tech High Def Camera

This is the latest high definition digital camera called Red One from Red Digital Cinema. This company was founded by the same guy who founded Oakley sunglasses in Rancho Santa Margarita. This camera boast high resolution pictures in a camcorder the size of any other camcorder. There is no need to lug around an IMAX camera to get the eye-popping and neck straining picture. The camera seen here is just a prototype though. Full production is still unknown. There was a scare last week when thieves broke into the building and stole documents. However, the prototype is still safe in the hands of RDC. Link.
