OWI Captures the Power of Air
he latest eco-friendly vehicle from OWI INC., the Air Power Racer features a pump-up bar with a pressure meter, which measures the volume of compressed air inside. The red silicon tube creates an airtight fit, and there is a safety valve for releasing air if the tank is full. Once the air chamber is full, kids can release the compressed air, which expands and drives the vehicle up to 50 meters in 35 seconds. The air chamber is made of recyclable polyethylene terephthalate. The Kingii Dragon Robot is a lizard with artificial intelligence, as well as an infrared sensor that is programmed to escape or follow. In the escape mode, the robot will spread its frill—which encircles its head and is made of pleated material—drop its jaw, illuminate its bi-color LED eyes, and scurry away until reaching a safe distance. In the follow mode, the robot will assess danger by unfurling and shaking its frill. If it does not sense danger, it will proceed to follow—just like a pet lizard. Kingii Dragon Robot
