Bandai Nano- technology Aqua Dance toy

 

Japan is famous for creating interesting toy gazettes that are loved all over the world. Once again Japan has done the trick with Aqua Dance toy. A well known Japanese toy making company,  Bandai, has come up with the concept of Aqua Dance toy, which is a water toy. Toys are one topic that is close to every ones hearts be it a kid or a grown up. And a toy gadget is what we all get fascinated to. Aqua Dance toy is one such gadget that you cant resist loving. Aqua Dance toy employs nano technology in order to send water ball streams over its plane.

Those who had physics as their subject, I am sure would be well versed with nano technology, but for others nanotechnology which Aqua Dance toy uses, controls the subject on the scale of a molecule or an atom. In the case of Aqua Dance toy, rolling water drops behave as mercury and move in a continuous flow over the plastic surface of the Aqua Dance toy. Its like one of those science experiments we do in smaller classes.

But the consequence that comes forward is much better than what we used to do in our science classes. It results in a water fountain toy that has been termed as the Aqua Dance toy that has such a hypnotic effect on the consumers that they just cant resist it. This water fountain is a continuous process as every time a water ball completes its stroll over the plastic maze, it drops back into the water tank with the help of a pump.

Available in $40, Aqua Dance toy came to market in the month of march last year and is quite popular. Right now being sold in a well known Akihabara shop, speculations say it will move west soon. So get prepared to buy this gadget toy which will soon come to your town too and by chance you cant resist it, you know where to look for it.

Rubiks TouchCube Lights

 

When I was a kid I had a Rubik’s cube and I never actually solved it, actually that’s a lie I did manage to solve it once by taking all the colored stickers off and putting them back on in the right place. Deputizing at the American International Toy Fair, the Rubik’s TouchCube is an electronic version of the popular toy, however it has colored LED lights replacing the colored stickers of the original design.

Featuring a random scramble button, the Rubik’s TouchCube puzzle can be reset if you manage to solve it. Moving the cube around is simple; just pass your fingers across the relevant block and the colored LED rotate.

Bubble Wrap Key-Ring

 

You have to admit, the Japanese come up with some great gadgets. The Bubble Wrap Keyring above is called the ‘Puchi Puchi’ and is one I would really appreciate getting as a Birthday or Christmas present (hint hint). So what is so special about it?

Well if you are like me and love to relieve stress by popping bubble wrap then this gadget is for you. Unfortunately when popping bubble wrap you eventually run out of bubbles to pop ending your enjoyment. However, with the ‘Puchi Puchi’ you can pop away until your hearts content safe in the knowledge that it will never run out.
