5 Examples of Next-Generation Flooring Technology

My home project this year is replacing wall-to-wall carpets with some kind of hard floor. If I had the budget, I’d be tempted to install heated floors, but that’s just the beginning of the high-tech choices one has for flooring these days. New high-tech floors do a lot more than support your weight. Imagine a gym floor made of glass with programmable lights underneath!

The German ASB GlassFloor is the world’s most advanced flooring system. It is constructed with an aluminium substructure and a custom-manufactured glass surface built of reinforced glass panels. It is the deal sports floor, but it also appropriate for a contemporary building design. The floor contains LED lines which can be changed on demand. It is also possible to simply turn them off completely. The glass is ceramic, with a semi-opaque finish which controls light reflection. The lighting elements are embedded within the substructure of the floor.

The floor is similar in texture to a traditional basketball court made of hardwood. There are ceramic dots burnt into the surface to provide friction and protection against slips. Players can dive for balls and interact the same way as they would on conventional floors.

There are also new floors that clean the air, put on their own light show, and keep Alzheimer’s patients safe. Read about all of them at Housely.

This is without doubt Thor's fisching hammer, "Troutnir" ... a very light version for nordic god trout fisching...

It throws like a hammer, hits like a harpoon and returns like a boomerang...

slightly less romantic than trout fisching in "A river runs through it" but way more effective..

Thor also has a "sharknir", a "tunir" and a "merlinir" for offshore-fisching...

The only reason it only has a limited success at market resides in that you have to be a nordic god to be able to properly operate this supreme fisching gear...

It's a manually operated second hand! These were commonplace before advances in spring technology drove hundreds of second-hand men out of business. It would be years before the minutemen and their hourly brethren would feel the sting ...

This is my daddy's good old direction finder. He never read a map in his life and whenever he got lost he'd whip this trusty old direction finder out and stick it out the car door window and follow the direction the arrow pointed. Did it work? Well... let's just say that one time I was 3 months late starting school...

Instead of a bottle, carpenters use this when playing spin the bottle. After kissing the person the arrow points to, they pound the ground with the opposite end and yell "Nailed it!".

A predecessor (ancient Scottish origin) to the modern GPS positioning and direction system. It was limited to locating only one place at a time.

Ever had your mouse freeze up and the cursor refuse to move? Whack that little arrow on the screen a couple of times with this baby and set your cursor free!

It looks like a panelbeater's tool for reshaping crumpled car body-panel corners from the inside.
It has a flat pein on the other side for flattening any ridges or bumps caused in the reshaping operation.
