Joules might be a robot, but that doesn’t mean he can’t enjoy a calming tandem bike ride with his creator, Carl. He’s not dead weight, either – he actually pedals, thanks to a PMG-132 motor.

Having gadgets is great but charging them can be a pain. Where is the Apple cable? Where can I hook it up … sigh I forget to charge my phone again…

Power sent straight to your gadgets without needing to plug them in? This is witchcraft of the highest order – electricity needs a cable, surely? Not any more it doesn’t. The WildCharge is an incredible gadget that’s about to break the shackles of normal, everyday charging. Every time you lay your mobile, BlackBerry or iPod on the WildCharge mat, it’ll transfer all the juice you need directly to the device without you having to do a thing.

The WildCharge mat is a flat, thin surface with conductive bars running across it that are fed from a power cable. The WildCharge comes with adapters that you can place on your mobile, BlackBerry or iPod that bridge the gap between your battery and the mat. When you look, the adapters have four tiny metal contacts that create a circuit when they’re placed on the mat – thanks to their smart positioning, you can place the device anywhere and in any orientation on the mat and you’ll still be charging up! It’s as simple as dropping a brick – though nowhere near as dangerous…
