The authors of the Techeblog site, whose activity is devoted to the latest world technologies, conducted a survey relative to the ten most original and extravagant hours of our time. Let’s find out if Russian watches have got there, so familiar to you and me.
So, the tenth place in the list was taken by electron-beam clock. As you have already guessed from the name, the watch consist of an 8-centimeter electron-beam oscilloscope. Thanks to this, the beam takes time indications for the screen. The gold watches of this type were recognized as the most original gift for the past New Year.
Water hours were located in ninth place. After the first acquaintance, it may seem that their design and appearance are completely simple. And only having looked well, you will notice the absence of batteries. After all, watches work with water or other fluid conducting current. The built -in converter inside extracts electrons from the existing liquid. Such hours with the symbols of the water world are very popular now.
Eighth place is dedicated to an unusual spy watch with a built -in video camera. The originality of these watches is the presence of a small video camera, which is activated when moving. The device has 64 MB of internal memory, it is approximately 12 minutes of video. In order to view the recorded material, it is enough just to connect the clock to the computer, using a USB port.
Seventh place – Lexon alarm clock. The device is equipped with a special swing mechanism, it is thanks to the presence of this mechanism that the clock is automatically turned on or, conversely, turn off.
Sixth place rightfully belongs to the ball clock Lego. The design of this device is based on the original ball mechanisms of the Idle Tyme Corporation brand. The new watch model is equipped with additional systems, namely: a computer control device, as well as the presence of an external power source.
Axbo alarm clock – fifth place in the list. Thanks to this alarm clock, you will not have to “rack” the head over the time in which you should wake up. This mechanism monitors the sleep process, independently determining the most suitable awakening time. The device is very reminiscent of a pilot watch, once developed and equipped with similar functions. There is a specially provided bandage in which the sensor is mounted. The function of this sensor is as follows: information about the sleep process is transmitted to the clock using wireless communication.
Fourth place is a functional watch with a hard drive. Due to the presence of twelve bright LEDs, the arrows are displayed, and the received time report is controlled using a microcontroller.
The top three managed to break through the Ping Pong watch. What is the secret of these watches? The answer is simple-the mechanism automatically, without outside help, plays ping-pong. The current time of the day is the score of the game at this time.
Honorary second place belongs to the clock-box. T -shirt, which is equipped with a finger battery, highlights the testimony of the time for an electrolympicon panel located on the chest.
And finally, the leader of the list is a “rat watch. Yes, do not be surprised, namely “rat”. What is such a name owes? It’s all about the mechanical rat that runs in the wheel, by this, driveing the mechanism into effect.
