Selection: Unusual inventions of 2016 that went where no one went

In the recent period, we have witnessed many unusual innovations and inventions in the field of technology, which with their unique functions push the limits of what is possible, or discover the hidden potential of already known technological toys - gadgets.

Drones that are a little bigger than the palm of your hand and shoot video like the biggest multi-$10,000 professional drones did years ago. Or a wristband with which you can actually feel the music and not just hear it. A bracelet for monitoring hydration or a speaker on your wrist with which you can literally feel the music. Check out our wide selection and choose a toy that will excite you.

LVL - hydration control bracelet

If we are properly hydrated, we feel better, think better, look better and are generally healthier. LVL isn't just another activity tracker because it measures what no other tracker measures, even though it's a key component of health – hydration levels. But it not only measures, it also advises the user. The smart bracelet tells us at any moment the amount of water we need to drink at any given moment in order to function as well as possible during the day.

Voyager Golden Record - SMS we sent to Aliens

In 1977, the American agency NASA had a big dream. They wanted to find the Aliens and make contact with them. With this purpose, the Voyager I and Voyager II probes were sent into space, which also carried a time capsule in the form of a golden gramophone record that explains humanity into the unknown. Among other things, how we reproduce and what we eat. He greets the aliens in 55 languages, and they can also play different genres of music and the characteristic sounds of our planet. There are playback instructions on the back of the disc. On the 40th anniversary of the launch, you can imagine a digitally recorded replica with identical content.
