An external battery of 27… million mAh
YouTuber Handy Geng also wanted to find a challenge to his measure… We have all already encountered problems with his external battery, which is drained too quickly, but Handy Geng has found the solution.
He designed a power bank with 60 maximum 220V charging ports. To achieve his ends, the YouTuber equipped himself with a giant metal case to make a 27 million mAh PowerBank. Subsequently, he demonstrated that his device was capable of powering a washing machine and a television… at the same time.
A robot that catches egg yolk without breaking it

Magic of the art of Kirigami, when you pull on the ends of the sheet that makes up the clamp, it takes the shape of a 3D sphere.
Tesla is getting into the karaoke market?
Tesla has just put on sale its TeslaMic, a microphone reserved for karaoke in the car. If you are already a fan, know that, for the moment, only China can benefit from it.

From now on, the Caraoke functionality – karaoke in car – of the famous electric car can be fully exploited. Say goodbye to boring highway air breaks with this in-vehicle karaoke system. In contrast, TeslaMic (obviously) only works when the vehicle is stationary.
A promising hand prosthesis
Esper Bionics is a Ukrainian start-up dedicated to the development of smart prostheses. Their latest creation is a bionic hand with a movable wrist and fingers.
It would be three times lighter, safer, and faster in the execution of movements. Furthermore, Esper Hand would adapt to its user over time. The company has also designed five different sizes of prosthesis.
To ensure the operation of the Esper Hand, multiple sensors decipher the electrical signals coming from the muscles, store the information, and thus allow it to gradually improve and be more efficient and intuitive.
