Since the GTA 4 Trailer might not be enough to fullfill your geek needs. How about I show you the Pyro System. This dude made this pyro system for his mechanism final project for his school. You can probably take this puppy to light up bonfires and all that cool stuff. Toast marshmellows, but definitely not blow up police vehicles like the intro made you believe. Cool stuff though. Definitely deserves to be a post on The Tidy!

Excerpt from everettbradford on Youtube:

The Pyro System is my final project for a mechanisms class in the spring of 2008. It gives me the power that the X-Men character Pyro has, as shown in the clip before the demonstration. Another demo is located here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByfeGcxixjA

You can customize each and every key on this OLED keyboard since these are OLED lit keys. The Optimus Maximus is a major improvement from the concept they have released a while back. This is every geek’s dream! With the price tag being a little over $1500, you don’t need to buy that expensive computer you always wanted. Just buy a crappy computer and play around with this bad boy. It’ll be all worth it! Just watch the clip above to see what this baby can do!

Each key is a stand-alone display that shows the function currently assigned to it.

Optimus’s customizable layout allows convenient use of any language—Cyrillic, Ancient Greek, Georgian, Arabic, Quenya, hiragana, etc.—as well as of any other character set: notes, numerals, special symbols, HTML codes, math functions and so on to infinity.

These guys at Texas A&M are awesome! They created a robot called SlashBot that can analyze the video signals and play Guitar Hero 3. The video clip above shows the robot playing at 96% accuracy. The robot is playing “Cliffs of Dover” on Expert. This is great stuff! Go to their wordpress blog for more information, and maybe even create your very own SlashBot and rock on! http://slashbot.wordpress.com/

Is this crazy or what? Technology is getting far and far more advanced each day. This chip was actually around for quite some time now. Check out the other stuff that they have. They even have a 6.8Ghz Quauntum chip!

“The Solar Chip is a Quantum-Optical non-volatile RAM, which uses electricity from a special Solar battery to record and read information. The electricity output, which the Memory chip uses from a Solar battery, is very small. For instance, exposing the Solar battery to sunlight for five minutes allows the chip to work for twenty-four hours. Signals for recording and reading of information are send to the chip by a laser beam and can control the chip from a very big distance. The Solar chip is intended for memorization of an image, which is projected directly onto the chip surface at a distance of up to four inches or through an independent optical system at large distances. The information can be read using digital electric signals from pinouts or directly from the chip surface.” exerpt from atomchip.com
