The NASA-inspired “Zero Gravity Roller Coaster” will cost approximately $50-million to build and “travel up a steep track at speeds of 100 miles an hour before beginning a controlled drop that would essentially put its passengers into zero gravity for eight seconds.” Continue reading to see how passengers would look inside the ride.

To create that illusion, a linear induction motor system would speed coasters up the track with unprecedented precision. As the coaster approached a top speed of more than 100 mph, it would suddenly and ever so slightly decelerate – just enough to throw the passengers up from their seats, like stones from a catapult – and then quickly adjust its speed to fly in formation with and around the passengers.

At 300-pounds, this life-sized Star Wars stormtrooper cake by Amanda Oakleaf Cakes stands a massive 6-foot, 4-inches tall and was “sliced up for 600 Arisia Sci-Fi Convention attendees — the Stormtrooper cake took Amanda and a team of nine two weeks to design, create and assemble.”

This creation isn’t all cake, though. Its legs are made out of Rice Krispies to keep the entire guy from toppling over. Amanda’s cake blog says that they also had to invent new ways of holding its fondant vertically over time and figure out how to put it together in modular pieces. Talk about a challenge.

Unlike other hotels, Switzerland’s Berghotel Muottas Muragl is located 8,000-feet above sea level and “hotel guests can only arrive two ways” by helicopter, or by one tram that goes from the village below to the hotel; making this an exclusive and private escape for ski bums around the world.”

At $200, the Tamaggo is basically “a dedicated pano-shooting camera with a 14MP sensor and a panomorph lens; snap a picture and the camera will auto detect its orientation and create either a Streetview-style all-rounder or a more traditional long (horizontal or vertical) panorama.”

The $200 egg is pretty feature packed. There’s a touch-screen for framing and review, Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connections, and the entire pano is taken in one snap. There’s also an integrated stand.

Here’s a first: a hotel designed to look like a giant mountain, specifically for rock climbers. This “building will have fifty rooms, movie theater, spa, cafe, swimming pool, gym, bar, shops, and climbing walls for beginners; unique exterior made of rocks is for advanced rock climbers who can even spend the night on the ‘mountain’ using special equipment.”

Sleek and ultra stylish, Samsung’s Bang and Olufsen smartphone is basically “a mix between the current Samsung Galaxy lineup with B&O’s traditional slant on masculine industrial engineering.” No word yet on if this concept will go into production.

I think the final form works. It’s thin and sleek, yet manages to slightly deviate from the “me too” crowd. LOVE the dock which transforms it into a banging B&O speaker. One can hope.

China has developed a high-speed train — based on CSR’s CRH 380A –that can reach 311mph, without the use of MagLev technology. That’s right, “this train has been streamlined, uses lighter materials, and uses a lot more power in order to get over 300 mph.”

The standard CRH380 has a maximum drawing power of 9600 kilowatts, while this souped-up version can draw as much as 22,800 kilowatts.

At first glance, this may look like the interior of the USS Enterprise, but it’s actually the first class cabin on a Qantas A380, complete with personal suites and center socializing area. For those who don’t already know, the Airbus A380 is basically “a double-deck, wide-body, four-engine jet airliner manufactured by the European corporation Airbus, a subsidiary of EADS. It is the world’s largest passenger airliner.”

We have seen the future of gadgets, and many of them will be flexible. Whether it be cell phones, like the Samsung Galaxy Skin (above), or laptops, there will be something for everyone. Continue reading to see five of the most incredible flexible gadget technologies.

5. Fujitsu Flexbook

Called the Flexbook, this computer by “Taiwan-based designer hao-chun huang, offers portable, multi-use computing within a single device. the concept was shortlisted from over 1000 designs in our recent designboom competition ‘a life with future computing’.” No word yet on pricing or availability.

4. PaperPhone

Called the PaperPhone, this high-tech handset is unlike any other in that it features a bendable interface, thanks to an E-Ink display. That’s right, “the epaper sheet, which uses the same e-Ink technology found in the Amazon Kindle ereader, is just millimetres thick and can be used to make phone calls, read ebooks and play music.”

3. Feno

Called “Feno”, this sleek and portable notebook computer comes equipped with a flexible OLED display, full-sized keypad and pop-out mouse, all packed into a foldable design. Simply unfold everything, and you’ve got yourself a desktop computer, complete with mouse.

2. Programmable Self-Folding Origami

That’s right, MIT researchers have developed programmable material that can fold itself when electrical impulses are applied. Their prototype self-folding origami is basically “made from a custom fabricated material with triangular sections moved thin-foil actuators and magnets embedded into the flexible surface.”

1. Samsung Galaxy Skin

The Samsung Galaxy Skin may not be the company’s first foray in flexible AMOLED displays, but it most certainly is the first cell phone we’ve seen with the technology. In addition to being a phone, it can also function as a mini projector, wristwatch, and GPS navigation system.
