Ever wonder how those action heroes look absolutely cool in their pair of sunnies while they’re busy fighting the baddies? In fact, they might get scratched all over and shot at with bullet wounds to show, but somehow all that rough and tumble lifestyle doesn’t seem to faze their sunglasses one bit. No sir, not a scratch can be found.
Perhaps they were wearing the Japan Self Defense Force Sunglasses? Each pair is so tough that they won’t even crack even when you throw a nasty punch at it. Even better is, the Japanese military has given their full endorsement of the Japan Self Defense Force Sunglasses. Just to get an idea on how tough its lenses are, when hit at 106mph by a 0.3″ object, you won’t find the lens cracking. Apart from that, it can also walk away unscrathed even when a 500g piece of iron is dropped on it. $317 is the asking price for this.

If you’re looking for a flashlight with renewable energy, you’ll have plenty of options out there. Firstly there are several different sizes, but then you get to choose between solar, wind-up and shakeable. Well now you get one more choice to pick from. This flashlight is actually powered by water, which would make them highly convenient while you’re out camping.

Not only will this light work just like your average flashlight, but it also can be used as a regular lantern by just making some simple adjustments. It’s probably not going to be as great as the oversized lanterns that many people use. However, this would be better than nothing, especially if you were to put it within an emergency kit of some kind. In order to work it, you just have to fill up the battery with water. It’ll also run on beer, coke and even urine. You can purchase the NoPoPo Water-Powered Flashlight for $54 from the Japan Trend Shop.

The Kunai is an ancient weapon used by ninjas in the past, but this time round it comes in the form of a USB flash drive, although the cloak and dagger tactics employed eons ago are still prevalent in the workplace today, save that they come in a more subtle format. Unfortunately, this model just comes with 2GB of storage space, and it won't be able to stab anyone to death even if you feel like it. GeekStuff4U is carrying the Kunai USB flash drive for approximately $125 after conversion - totally nuts considering the amount of storage space you get back in return.

The UK cellular company Orange has figured out how to channel the power of a good idea. In fact, this device can “generate enough energy to power five minutes of call time in the time it takes to inflate a pillow”.

The press release says that it is “no bigger than a packet of Wet Wipes” for a size comparison. Clearly, this Orange Power Pump must be targeted for parents, who know what it is like to travel with Wet Wipes. Orange plans to display this Power Pump at the Glastonbury 2009 Festival, but there is no word on a price. I think that these foot pumps are probably the way to go green and eco-friendly.
