Raspberry Pi 3 is popular among computer enthusiasts, but this is the first portable game console project we’ve seen that actually takes cartridges. Meet the NESPi, a palm-sized, 3D-printed NES console that even comes with its very own matching controller. “To make the case as compact as possible, I scaled down the real NES dimensions to 40% of actual size. This gave me just about enough room for the Pi to sit transverse, USB and network ports on the left, power and HDMI at the back. I could make a cut-out for the microSD card and would relocate two of the USB ports to the front where the controllers would be on a real NES,” said creator Daft Mike.

By
Taurus Motorbike

Designed by Russia-based Motovezedhody, the Taurus 2×2 is a 132-pound, two-wheel drive motorbike that goes anywhere, and can be disassembled in minutes, with all its parts fitting in the back of a truck. Thanks to its 12-inch wide, 25-in in diameter fat tires, it easily tackles mud and / or icy conditions with ease. A 3-gallon fuel tank enables riders to whip around for up to 10-hours straight. “Due to the light weight all-terrain, this vehicle is very easy to operate in difficult conditions.

By
Powered Exoskeleton

Revision Military’s innovative powered exoskeleton turns you into a super soldier, thanks to technology that eases the strain on the human body carrying heavy loads for extended periods. One component, the “Prowler,” is essentially a Human Augmentation System (HAS), or an exoskeleton that straps to the lower extremities of soldiers and aids in human function (i.e. walking, climbing, etc.) for up to 6-hours. “The opportunity for an integrated power management system that provides flexible storage and power management that can be easily adapted to a wide range of mission scenarios is extensive,” said Revision Military CEO Jonathan Blanshay.
