Folks living in the UK will be able to keep themselves fit and trim thanks to the new Power Plate pro6 which comes in the structure of a vibrating body shaper. It will merge cable-resistance and vibration training with a new, proprietary, technology known as proMOTION, where it comprises of a couple of high strength Vectran cables that are capable of transferring up to 80% of vibrations at high-speed frequency rates straight to the muscles of the arms, back, core and shoulders. Would you cough out GBP1,500 for that? There is no price tag on good health actually when you think about it.

Trying to generate energy from wind in a small device is never going to be easy as it’s rather difficult to get suitable wind flowing through a small device to generate significant ability. Now it seems that a company called Humdinger Wind Energy LLC has come up with a device dubbed the microBelt which can do just that. The microBelt is a piezoelectric turbine-based system that is touted as being 10 times more effective at gathering energy than other systems of similar size. that is achieved by using the aeroelastic flutter and vibration of a membrane, rather than a spinning turbine. that setup is intended to replace the batteries used in wireless sendor networks, and can be used in applications such as HVAC (heating, ventilating and air-conditioning) systems, using the airflow to ability the device, rather than expansive batteries. The added benefit of that system is that since it doesn’t utilize spinning turbines, it’s expected to last longer, with an estimated lifespan stretching to 20 years.
