Gone are the days of rechargeable batteries and solar panels, here comes the lemon juice powered Alarm clock. The Bedol Alarm Clock runs for 6-8 weeks, surviving only on water with some lemon juice. Small size and priced at $16, this is something that will definitely find a place on my desk soon (not only is it a geeky gizmo, its also a good recession time gadget to own . Four colours to chose from, you can get one

Created by Daniel Rozen this incredible wooden mirror is made up of 830 tiny wood each controlled by a small motor. A camera gathers light and shape data and sends it to a computer which then shifts the panels to create the image in front of the device. It can’t provide a detailed image but still it’s pretty cool to see and hear those little wooden pieces move and mimic everything you do.

 Changing with its environment in real time, this mirror is an animated and ghostly reflection of whatever is put in front of it. We see small bits and pieces of ourselves reflected in all kinds of accidental mirrors all the time - opaque images shop windows, distorted forms in a curved metal hand rail - but this takes a particularly unusual material, not known for its reflectivity, and makes it into a larger-than-live reflector.
Seamstresses in Peru set out to set a Guinness World Record for the largest pair of jeans sewn. The pair of jeans measures 141 feet tall and 98 feet wide and weighs in at 7.5 tons. The current record is held by the city of Medellin in Columbia. That pair was 114 feet tall and 82 feet wide.

It sounds like they are just waiting for their record setting jeans to be accepted by Guinness. There wasn't a Guinness representative present, but a notary who can send documentation to the group was.

The pants will be recycled as backpacks for school children.
