Dyson’s HushJet Mini Cool is a pocket-sized bladeless fan that looks unfortunately PG13

Posted on by

It’s summertime, and the temperatures are soaring, making you sweat and feel uncomfortable. A mini fan can give you some breathing space in the heavy, humid heat. But if you’re looking for something beyond the usual pocket fan, Dyson wants you to indulge in the luxury of a gadget that feels just as premium in the hand as it looks. The company’s latest personal cooling device promises to outclass typical portable fans with engineering inspired by the same airflow technology that powers its iconic bladeless designs.

The HushJet Mini Cool is Dyson’s first portable fan designed to be carried or worn around the neck, and it aims to deliver cooling in a way that feels refined rather than noisy or clunky. True to Dyson’s design philosophy, the device hides its working parts inside a smooth cylindrical body. There are no exposed blades, which not only gives the fan a cleaner appearance but also prevents hair or clothing from getting caught while using it close to the face. The nozzle on top is borrowed directly from the HushJet purifier line, and at full scale on those machines it reads as precision engineering. Miniaturized here and perched at the tip of a handheld cylinder, the hexagonal honeycomb iris framed in rose-tinted trim produces a silhouette that has, let’s say, generated a certain kind of attention online. Dyson’s engineers were clearly thinking about airflow geometry. Their industrial designers may have needed one more round of feedback.

Designer: Dyson

Inside the compact housing is a high-speed brushless DC motor that spins at up to 65,000 RPM. Despite the fan’s small footprint, it produces a focused stream of air that can reach speeds of around 25 meters per second. Dyson pairs this with its custom HushJet nozzle that channels and smooths the airflow, reducing turbulence and minimizing the harsh buzzing sound commonly associated with small handheld fans. The result is a more refined sound profile, operating as quietly as about 52 dBA on lower speeds and rising to roughly 72.5 dBA when pushed to its Boost mode. Impressive numbers, though probably not the first thing people are going to be talking about when they see this thing in someone’s hand.

Cooling performance can be adjusted through five airflow settings, allowing users to move from a gentle breeze to stronger airflow depending on the situation. When the heat becomes unbearable, Boost mode provides a short burst of maximum airflow for quicker relief. The nozzle itself can be rotated to direct the airflow precisely where it’s needed, whether angled upward toward the face or positioned more directly for a stronger cooling effect. Rotating it does change the visual read somewhat, for what that’s worth.

Portability is central to the HushJet Mini Cool’s design. The fan weighs roughly 212 grams and measures about 38 millimeters in diameter, making it easy to carry in a bag or hold comfortably for long periods. Dyson includes a lanyard so it can be worn around the neck for hands-free use while walking outdoors or commuting, which introduces its own set of visual problems that we’ll leave as an exercise for the reader. A charging stand also allows it to double as a compact desk fan, adding versatility when you’re sitting at work or relaxing at home.

The device runs on a 5,000 mAh rechargeable battery that provides up to six hours of use depending on the selected fan speed. Charging is handled through a USB-C port, making it convenient to power up using everyday chargers or portable power banks. Dyson also includes a travel pouch for easier portability, while optional accessories such as a grip clip and universal mount allow the fan to attach to strollers, bags, or other surfaces.

Available in Stone/Blush (blush is a very unfortunate name if you ask me), Carnelian/Sky, and Ink/Cobalt, the HushJet Mini Cool is priced at $99 and available starting today. The engineering is genuinely solid, the noise suppression is real, and the cooling performance punches well above what you’d expect from something this compact. Dyson’s industrial design team clearly did their homework on the airflow side. Whether anyone assigned to the form factor study did the same is a question that the internet has already answered, loudly and with great enthusiasm.

Thule builds a new easy-setup Widesky hardshell rooftop tent for more than just sleeping

Posted on by

My love for the outdoors rekindles with the fading spring chill, and I hear voices from the woods calling me to come explore. Of course, backpacking is the most viable option, but when I’m planning with my partner, I prefer the rooftop tent. There are two conveniences of the modern hardshell rooftop tents: they’re light on the vehicle – can even transform for ground camping – and are easy to set up and sleep in at the end of the day.

Over the years, these camping solutions have come a long way. We have seen hardshell rooftop tents with their own power stations and those massive enough to sleep an entire family of four. With few options to make a mark, Thule has introduced the Widesky, its first, and probably also the first-ever rooftop tent with a sofa. How’s that for standing out?

Designer: Thule

Thule Widesky is a premium hardshell rooftop tent that’s easy to set up in seconds. It arrives in a lightweight aluminum hardshell body with telescopic poles that lift the tent from its closed position to a full-size wedge-shaped tent upon undoing the four latches used to secure it closed. It’s not the construction but the fancy interior that really sets the Widesky apart.

Unlike many rooftop tents, the primary focus of the Thule Widesky is not sleeping. The two-person tent wants travelers to have a comfortable living space inside. By placing a quilted foam mattress inside that converts into a sofa-like setting with a supportive backrest, Thule has transformed the space from the usual sleeper into a living quarter you’d love to retire into when it’s raining outside, or you want to just relax midway. And sitting back, I’m wondering, if it were this simple, why didn’t anyone think of it earlier?

“Widesky is designed to feel just as inviting during the day as it does at night,” Thule confirms. It weighs only 68 kg on the vehicle’s roof and lifts up to 124 cm at the front for a relaxing space inside. When you’re ready to hit the road, the same tent packs back into a hardshell box measuring just 20 cm high. According to the company, it is compatible with most roof rack systems, and courtesy of its durable recycled fabric walls and an all-weather shell, the tent is suitable for more adventures than those tailored for summer days.

“It’s (Widesky) designed for people who… want a rooftop tent that invites them to sit back, relax, and enjoy the view,” Kajsa Levinsson of Thule informs.

The tent comes with a ladder – mountable on any side of the tent – to climb in. Once comfortably seated/sleeping inside, you can enjoy the vista with the same vividness as you would being outside. To that accord, the Widesky is outfitted with large panoramic doors and mesh panels offering expansive outside views, light, and ventilation. The interior is fashioned with dimmable LED lights to make the space feel warm and welcoming even after sunset. All this goodness is expected to arrive anytime this month, but it will set you back $4,000.

Pictures of iPhone Fold appear online, just before Apple’s supposed foldable hits engineering challenges

Posted on by

 

Apple’s first foldable phone, the Apple’s first foldable phone, iPhone Fold (if that’s how it will be called) is one of the most anticipated smartphones in recent memory. While Apple remains tight-lipped about anything concerning the awaited device, rumors, leaks, and concepts have flooded our memories over the years with what the iPhone Fold is and what it will be like.

2026 is suggestively the magical year when Apple is expected to launch the foldable iPhone. It has been an unperturbed timeline in almost all the reports we have seen. In the same loop – but without a timeline – a recognized Apple leaker, Majin Bu has shown “actual design of the iPhone Fold” in the latest leaked pictures.

Designer: Apple

It’s “more beautiful than the previous one,” Bu notes in his update on X, stating that he believes this is “the final design of the future iPhone Fold.” How much context there is in the claim, only time will tell, but Bu has had some correct Apple-related predictions in the past, which suggests he could have some substance to back his claim.

From the leaked pictures, one can visually notice that the camera bump on the back of the foldable device is significantly smaller than that seen in previously rumored designs. The images appear more than renders and supposedly of a prototype, showing the iPhone in a book-style foldable form factor. Appearing to open horizontally to reveal a tablet-like display on the inside.

If the 2026 timeline is to go by – it’s Apple’s golden jubilee year as well – the iPhone Fold should ship alongside the iPhone 18 Pro slated for release in fall this year. But according to a new report from Nikkei Asia, the launch could be delayed. Nikkei reports that Apple has encountered a major setback in the engineering test phase of the foldable iPhone. There have been previously report concerning the foldable display’s crease, but this time, the report notes that the Cupertino giant is facing “more complex engineering challenges than anticipated.” If the issues persist, they could, “in a worst-case scenario,” delay the iPhone Fold launch schedule by some months. It could even mean a postponement until 2027.

Earlier this year, it was rumored that Apple had entered into the manufacturing phase of its first foldable device at Foxconn. New revelations, however, suggest Apple is “notifying” its component suppliers about the possibility of a delay in the “component production schedule for the new foldable iPhone.”

Despite the reports and unauthorized leaks, one thing is definite now. Foldable iPhone – by whatever moniker it comes – is clearly on the horizon. Apple will soon have a competitor for the Samsung Fold and other foldable smartphones on the market. If it is anything like the iPhones that rocked the smartphone world in the late 2000s, the iPhone Fold could repeat that in the late 2020s.

Tank Pad Ultra is a rugged tablet that doubles as a short throw projector

Posted on by

8849tech introduced the Tank Pad last year, leaving the tech world in awe. With the ability to double as a projector, the rugged tablet leapt beyond the already highlighted multitasking capabilities of a normal tablet. Now the beast is back in an improved version to polish out the kinks of the OG version, adding more capabilities for users who demand that little extra.

The Tank Pad Ultra has the same promise of all-weather performance, reliability, and durability as its predecessor. If you’re hoping to buy a sleek, lightweight tablet, this one, weighing 1,345 grams and measuring 170.3×268.3×23.6 mm, is not for you. The device is targeted towards professionals and power users who are constantly exposed to challenging environments. Slated to launch two days from now, the rugged tablet is designed for a niche audience with a specific set of needs.

Designer: 8849tech

Specifications are the key here as the tab boasts a 10.95-inch, 1920 x 1200 pixel display, which is better than the previous version. Powering the gut is a MediaTek Dimensity 8200 processor, which is a tad slower than the Tank Pad, which has a Dimensity 8300 processor. To support multiple open apps, the 16GB RAM and storage capacity of 512GB (expandable via a microSD card) make things easy for users. Coming onto the integrated DLP projector, it has a 1920 x 1080 pixel resolution. 260 lumens of brightness and auto-focus support. These numbers are technically better than the Tank Pad, which has a 854 x 480 pixel resolution and 100 lumens maximum brightness.

The battery also gets a bump up to 23,400 mAh from the previous 21,000 mAh in the original model. However, both have support for 66W charging, which should be enough to juice up the device for short bursts or power usage in case charging options are limited out in the wild. The Tank Pad Ultra comes with a USB 2.0 Type-C port and the ability to reverse charge your other gadgets. For people who are all-in for a wired multimedia experience, the 3.5mm audio jack is a welcome addition. Since the tablet is going to be used out in unknown environments, it comes loaded with a gyroscope, accelerometer, compass, ambient light sensor, and distance sensor. It also comes with an independent camping light built in to explore in the dark hours.

Of course, a mobile device needs to have shooting capabilities, so the Tank Pad Ultra has a 50MP primary camera (with Sony IMX766 sensor) for daylight shooting and a 64MP night vision camera (OV64B) for more awareness of the environment in the dark hours. In the mix is a 32MP front-facing camera (IMX616 sensor), which is potent enough to take video calls in high quality. 8849 has included dual nano SIM card slots with support for 5G NR and 4G LTE networks, which is essential in inhospitable conditions. For a more laid-back connectivity when you arrive back home, the tab has WiFi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, and NFC support.

There’s no word yet on the pricing of this rugged tablet, but going by the price of the previous model, it should be around $550. That information should present itself in a couple of days when the tablet is finally launched.

100-Meter A100 concept yacht redefines luxury sailing with massive interior volume

Posted on by

Modern sailing superyachts often struggle to balance two competing priorities: the elegance and efficiency of wind-powered travel and the expansive living spaces typically associated with large motor yachts. The A100 sailing yacht concept approaches this challenge with a bold rethink of traditional yacht architecture. Developed through a collaboration between Van Geest Design and Rob Doyle Design, the 100-meter vessel proposes a layout that delivers the interior volume of a motor yacht while maintaining the identity and performance of a sailing superyacht.

At the core of the concept is a design strategy that maximizes usable space. Traditional sailing yachts require wide side decks for crew movement and sail handling, which limits interior width. The A100 concept reduces the width of these side decks, allowing the main deck to stretch nearly the full beam of the yacht. This architectural shift creates significantly larger interior spaces than typically found on sailing yachts of comparable size.

Designer: Van Geest Design and Rob Doyle Design

The main deck is designed as the primary social and living area. Here, the owner’s suite occupies a substantial portion of the deck, offering a level of space rarely seen on sailing yachts. Adjacent to the suite is a central lounge and formal dining area intended for gatherings and entertaining. An additional space can function as a library or a private cinema, adding flexibility to the interior layout. Large sections of glass surround these living areas, filling the interior with natural light and offering uninterrupted views of the ocean.

Below deck, the yacht accommodates guest cabins along with a variety of leisure-focused facilities. This level also houses a dedicated diving room and storage for water toys such as jet skis and e-foils, allowing guests to transition between onboard relaxation and water activities easily. The layout is designed to maintain a strong visual connection with the surrounding seascape while ensuring privacy and comfort for those on board.

Outdoor areas play an equally important role in this larger-than-life superyacht design. The upper deck includes the navigation and steering stations, along with flexible lounge spaces for relaxation or wellness activities. At the stern, a large beach club spans the full width of the yacht, creating a welcoming space for guests to gather close to the water. Toward the bow, storage areas accommodate tenders and recreational equipment without disrupting the clean lines of the deck.

The sailing system is based on two free-standing DynaRig masts, a modern configuration used on some of the world’s largest sailing yachts. The system employs curved yards that support multiple sails, all of which can be deployed and adjusted electronically at the push of a button. The rotating masts simplify sail handling while maintaining efficient propulsion for a vessel of this scale.

Beyond its layout and sailing system, the A100 concept also reflects growing interest in more sustainable superyacht designs. By relying heavily on wind propulsion supported by advanced onboard energy systems, the concept explores ways to reduce reliance on conventional engine power. If brought to life, the A100 would stand among the largest sailing yachts ever built!

Ari 458 Pro is Germany’s smallest electric camper and we love its approach

Posted on by

It’s rare to come across a capable mobile living unit built onto the back of a Midsize Light Commercial Vehicle (LCV). The versatile delivery truck platform has the power and capacity to carry a living unit, but it’s not a preferred conversion choice for obvious reasons: It wouldn’t go beyond the convenient city and semi-urban paths.

If you’re someone who is content with camping in designated sites and parks at accessible distances over a weekend; the Ari 458 Pro electric camper van is tailored for your ‘compact, efficient and consistently sustainable’ lifestyle. For those who prefer the rugged wilderness, look over for other options.

Designer: Ari Motors

Created in Germany by Ari Motors, the Ari 458 Pro doesn’t have the rugged appearance: It’s not meant to be a mean adventure rig. The docile appearance may not be German, but the quality of what you get onboard the motorhome – space-saving design with maximum flexibility for living and traveling – is definitely German, if you know what I mean.

Designed to be Germany’s smallest electric camper van out there, Ari 458 Pro is created keeping in mind adventurers and family campers interested in short vacations. The mini-camper with 30 square feet of living space has a top speed of 70 km/h (44 mph) and about 230 kilometers (143 miles) range. It draws power from a solitary 23.5kWh electric motor, which produces up to 20 horsepower.  A choice of 15kWh battery is also available. It will perhaps reduce the range from 143 to roughly 112 miles.

It comes based on a resilient chassis with an integrated power supply, solar and water systems, while the interior is left out as a blank canvas for the individual to customize to their different requirement. Users can choose to customize the 12.5 feet long, 4.9 feet wide, and 6 feet high (headroom) camper interior from a minimalist solution for sleeping to a fully-equipped home with kitchenette, storage, couch, bed and other necessities.

Created small and compact, the Ari 458 Pro camper van can park conveniently in any parking space, and as the company says, ‘fit narrow roads where larger motorhomes cannot go.’ Its cockpit is interestingly furnished with two seats, a digital display, and a reversing camera to ensure safety. The camper van is currently available in Germany and is priced at €30,381 ($35,100). We do not have a word on the Air 458 Pro’s international availability, but for the interested, the Ari 458 Pro is available in the country in over 30 different variants: food truck, box van, flatbed, tipper, or even a compact garbage truck. These configurations start at €15,790 ($18,200).

GAMEMT E5 MODX handheld’s detachable control module can be connected to Magsafe phones

Posted on by

The craze for handhelds over the last 24 months has driven a surge in portable gaming consoles. We’ve seen it all, right from retro handheld devices to modern consoles that can handle AAA titles without breaking a sweat. GAMEMT has been in the thick of things with a Android handheld released last month and a unique portable console with a dial knob.

Now the Chinese manufacturer has revealed yet another handheld, which is an eye turner for sure. This is the E5 MODX console based on the original E5 released in 2024. The console has a removable modular display that can be connected to your MagSafe-compatible smartphone. It would be safe to say that the handheld draws inspiration from the MCON controller, but we haven’t seen a detachable-display handheld yet. Now, that’s downright cool.

Designer: GAMEMT

In its native form, the handheld looks and feels just like any other 3:4 display device. However, when you detach the 5.5″ screen (1024 x 768) and connect its controller module magnetically to a mobile phone, it turns into an altogether different beast. The gaming machine comes with the MTK6771 Helio P60 chipset, which is not that highly rated in the tech circles, given its inconsistent performance. Still, it’ll be interesting to see what GAMEMT has managed to achieve with this microchip in terms of hardware and software compatibility in the E5 MODX. The chipset is paired with a 3GB RAM for optimized performance, and 32 GB internal memory is more than enough to store the suite of AA games.

You can expect to emulate PS1 games, or the option to pair with the Dreamcast/N64/PS2 and GameCube emulation. Clearly, you would better explore the retro arcade game library with this one, to be honest. The real magic happens when you connect the device to your flagship smartphone, and the fun of playing AAA games is again real. For now, it is unclear whether the magnetically detachable accessory pairs via Bluetooth or works with the physical connection, and also for low latency.

According to GAMEMT, the first 3D prototype of the E5 Modx is in the works, and there is no word yet on when the handheld will be released. For now, the idea sounds very interesting, given the landscape of handheld consoles that gamers now can choose from.

This transparent speaker celebrates the beauty of sound engineering

Posted on by

There’s something about transparent gadgets and audio gear that evokes a sense of retro-futurism. Although we’ve seen a fair share of transparent speakers, this one hits different. Rather than using transparency as a simple aesthetic trick, the design turns the internal structure of the speaker into a visual highlight. The clear enclosure reveals the driver, supporting frame, and internal layout that are usually hidden inside conventional speakers.

This approach transforms the product from a typical audio device into something more expressive, where the engineering becomes part of the visual story. The result feels less like a traditional gadget and more like a piece of functional design that celebrates the mechanics of sound.

Designer: Jinkyo Han

The form itself is minimal and geometric, allowing the transparency to remain the focal point. At the center sits the circular driver, clearly visible through the casing and positioned as the focal point of the entire design. Instead of concealing this critical component behind fabric or grills, the speaker proudly displays it. This not only creates a strong visual identity but also highlights the hardware responsible for producing the audio experience.

The internal elements appear carefully arranged to maintain balance and symmetry. With the casing fully transparent, every structural element becomes visible, which places greater importance on thoughtful layout and clean engineering. The frame surrounding the driver provides both support and visual structure, giving the speaker a refined, almost architectural appearance. Observing these internal layers gives users a rare glimpse into how a speaker is physically constructed.

Another benefit of the transparent enclosure is the way it interacts with light. Reflections and shadows passing through the clear surfaces add depth and dimension, making the device visually engaging even when it’s not in use. In modern living spaces where technology often blends with décor, a speaker like this can easily function as both an audio device and a decorative object. Placed on a desk, shelf, or side table, it naturally draws attention without being overly flashy.

Despite its artistic appearance, the concept remains grounded in practicality. Designed as a Bluetooth speaker, it emphasizes wireless connectivity and everyday usability. The simplicity of the overall form suggests that controls and functionality are kept minimal, ensuring the product remains intuitive while preserving the clean aesthetic. To add a bit of flair, the designer imagines the speaker in two sophisticated color options: Dusty Blue and Ocre.
