Gadgets that can make you a superhero. :)

This year gave us a lot of great films about people with superpowers. Only Thor: Ragnarok is worth something. After each such premiere, you leave the cinema and dream of learning how to fly, control objects and shoot lasers from the eyes. Well, or that someone gave me a Mjolnir, a couple of betarangs and a lightsaber of a favorite color. And then you drink coffee and sadly remember that you have never once been Clark Kent or even Peter Parker. Fortunately, there are devices that can add to our lives a spoonful of magic and coolness.

Suit for jumping from any height

The RL Mark VI suit from Solar System Express and Juxtopia is equipped with jet engines, autonomous life support system, intelligent control and gyroscopes. It can safely descend from any height (even from outer space!) Without fear for your life and health. He will soften or stop the fall and help maintain balance during the descent. Almost like Tony Stark, but "flies" only down.

Attractive beam

There are several working solutions. Specialists of the University of St. Andrews and physicists from the Czech Republic have developed a device that can move particles of matter and cells. Something like a "micropinette" of two lasers, a control unit and a special mirror. Based on this miracle, scientists plan to create a thing capable of moving satellites and asteroids. Cool idea!
British physicists went the other way and developed a one-sided acoustic attracting beam that moves and holds small objects with the help of sound waves. Details of the device can be printed on a 3D printer. The final cost of all components is about $ 70. Generous geniuses even laid out the instructions for assembling the device into a network.

Bracelet for fireballs

The Pyro Fireshooter is worn on the wrist and allows the release of 4 fireballs at a time. Then the device needs recharge. The kit includes a remote control. It looks awesome! Suitable for supervillains and illusionists. And with his help you can effectively light candles.

Invisibility cloak

Evans Quantum Stealth from Hyperstealth Biotechnology creates panels that allow people and objects to "merge" with the surrounding space. Now you can hide from the evil boss, pretending to be a wall or a large office palm. Unfortunately, this camouflage is far from perfect. But in the future such a thing is useful to a novice hero.

Oxygen injections

We will not go into serious scientific details and go straight to the point. In one of the clinics in Boston, injections have been developed that allow you to dispense with air for 15-30 minutes. They saturate the blood with oxygen and are intended for medical purposes. In addition to doctors, the drug was interested in freedivers. It's a chance to feel Aquaman!

Bracelet for control technology with the help of gestures

Straight Jedi thing! MYO Bracelet from Thalmic Labs includes 8 modules, connected by elastic clips. On the back of each of them are 3 electromyographic sensors that detect muscle contractions. Also, the bracelet is equipped with an accelerometer, a processor, a motion sensor, a lithium polymer battery, a magnetometer and a three-axis gyroscope. All this allows us to determine its exact position in space.

The processor processes the data received from the sensors and transfers them to the controlled device via Bluetooth. He recognizes the movement of the brush and the movement of each finger. Thus, you can control a smartphone, laptop, tablet, quadrocopter and other equipment at a distance. Before you start, you need to download the application and calibrate the device.

Betarang

These boomerang-shurikens have often helped Batman defeat his enemies. One of the comic book fans created a working version of the betarang, which flies fine and almost always returns to the thrower. True, because of the large size, the handicraft is difficult to hide on the belt. And its light weight will not allow the enemy to inflict serious damage.

Stylish bulletproof suit

The company Garrison produces comfortable and beautiful suits made of fabric, which includes carbon nanotubes. It is much stronger than steel, lighter than Kevlar, and is capable of repelling attacks of piercing-cutting and firearms. James Bond was exactly like that. To him would be an umbrella and watch from the movie "Kingsman" and you can go save the world.

Of course, it's a bit like a Wonder Woman lasso, Captain America's shield or the Green Lantern ring. But still great that people come up with such things. Although some of them are not very practical ... And what kind of superhero ability do you dream? Tell us about your favorite character in the comments.
