how to first page of google: What are the best new products or inventions that most people don't know about?

1. Ultra-Ever Dry Waterproof Coating

Ultra-Ever Dry is a hydrophobic coating which, applied correctly, will repel water and waterproof anything.

Scientific proof: Here’s a video showing how a cell phone spray sprayed with Ultra-Ever Dry completely submerged in water still works.

“Designed with the principles of aerodynamics, senz can handle speeds of up to 60km/h without inverting and does not compromise on the look and feel.” It’s also extended in the rear to protect you from wind and angled rainfall.

Buy it here for $39.95.

Air umbrella

The Air umbrella uses "forced air" instead of a fabric to make a canopy that keeps people dry from the rain. This gadget was created by inventor Chuan Wang, China.

There is an ON/OFF button at the base. The handle contains a lithium ion battery to power the fan inside. The head has a motor and fan that forces the air up and out. Air is drawn from the bottom and is expelled at the top to blast a canopy of air. There is also a controller dial to adjust the size of the canopy.

The size of the canopy can be expanded up to one meter in diameter and can provide room for two people. The product is in development phase and is set for release in December 2015. This cool gadget will be coming in three different styles with varying sizes and battery life to meet different needs.

4.”Load carrier for labour” is a great design innovation. It can be used as a backpack, as an overhead load carrier and as a trolley.

Designed and created by Vikram Dinubhai Panchal of NID Ahmedabad, it costs just Rs 300 (Less than 6 USD).

If scaled up, it can definitely save a lot of backaches!

This product won Core77 best design award in 2012.

The Xstat syringe.

Hemorrhage is a leading cause of death on the battlefield. The Xstat syringe can seal a gunshot wound in 15 seconds by injecting the soldier with special sponges.

Realtime touch neuroprosthetic.

Professor Silvestro Micera and his team from École Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne (EPFL) Switzerland have developed a mind-controlled prosthetic hand able to transmit sensations back to the user. Dennis Aabo Sørensen, who lost his hand in an accident nine years ago, was able to feel different kinds of pressure with three fingers of his new hand.

Single molecule LED.

The device is formed from a single polythiophene wire placed between the tip of a scanning tunneling microscope and a gold surface. It emits light only when the current passes in a certain direction. The Institut de Physique et de Chimie des Matériaux de Strasbourg have taken us one step closer to molecular computing.

And finally, the one i’ve been waiting for:

Dishes that clean themselves.

Developed by researchers at KTH Royal Institute of Technology in Stockholm,these dishes have a special coating that “repels water, dirt, and oil almost like a magnet, so you don’t have to use anything to clean it off,” says Hanna Billqvist, one of the designers. This coating already exists in other forms, chiefly in paint and certain fabrics, but this is the first time it’s planned to be food safe. This could be a novel way to reduce your carbon footprint because you’ll be using less water and electricity to heat a bowl of water everyday. Over a year that would really mount up. Another practical use would be in commercial kitchens, in particular coating the walls.

6.SCiO – Pocket Molecular Sensor

SCiO reads the chemical make-up of materials. It is the first molecular sensor that fits in the palm of your hand.

It scans physical objects and sends relevant information to your smartphone instantly. SCiO can scan food, medicines, and plants, oil and fuels, plastics and wood. Eventually, it will be able to scan almost any physical material as the database improves.

How SCiO Works?

SCiO is based on the proven near-IR spectroscopy method. The physical basis for this material analysis method is that each type of molecule vibrates in its own unique way, and these vibrations interact with light to create a unique optical signature.

It includes a light source that illuminates the sample and an optical sensor called a spectrometer that collects the light reflected from the sample. The spectrometer breaks down the light to its spectrum, which includes all the information required to detect the result of this interaction between the illuminated light and the molecules in the sample.

To deliver relevant information in real time, SCiO communicates the spectrum of the sample to a smartphone via Bluetooth, which in turn forwards it to a cloud-based service for review. Advanced algorithms utilize an updatable database to analyze the spectrum within milliseconds and deliver information about the analyzed sample back to the user’s smartphone in real time.

SCiO – Technical Specs

How Far Can This Technology Go?

Every time you use SCiO, you are helping to build a database of knowledge about the stuff around us. So when you use SCiO, you are making everyone smarter. The bigger the SCiO community gets, the more data it will have about different materials and this goes right back to the users.

The possibilities of SCiO applications are endless. In the future you can use SCiO to measure properties of cosmetics, clothes, flora, soil, jewels and precious stones, leather, rubber, oils, plastics, and even your pet!
