The jetpack is back! At first it was Skywalker Jets with their jetpack, now Tecnologia Aeroespacial Mexicana have developed a "Rocket Belt". At first glance it looks more like a backpack then a belt. The rocket belt has been fully tested and is based on Military research done in the 1960s. The Military abandoned the project however because they found out it can only hold enough fuel to fly for 20 seconds. You can’t get much combat action during just 20 seconds of flight. If you have $250,000 laying around then you can own one of these Rocket Belts, but don’t worry your quarter million dollar rocket belt comes with maintenance, flight training and 24/7 expert support!

Scientists at the University of Nevada have successfully created the worlds first sheep that is part human. The sheep is made up of 15% human cells, and 85% animal cells however it has human organs. If this technique can be perfected it may make mass organ harvesting possible. This could be accomplished by extracting stem cells from a donors blood, and then injecting them directly into a sheep fetus. Then when the sheep is born, it has human organs which could be used for transplants into humans. Anyone remember that Michael Bay movie…The Island? Yeaahhh…

The touchless touch screen sounds like it would be nice and easy, however after closer examination it looks like it could be quite a workout. This unique screen is made by TouchKo, White Electronics Designs, and Groupe 3D. The screen resembles the Nintendo Wii without the Wii Controller. With the touchless touch screen your hand doesn’t have to come in contact with the screen at all, it works by detecting your hand movements in front of it. This is a pretty unique and interesting invention, until you break out in a sweat. Now this technology doesn’t compare to the hologram-like IO2 Technologies Heliodisplay M3, but thats for anyone that has $18,100 laying around. You probably wont see this screen in stores any time soon. Check out the videos of this in action below. Source: Crave
