We Lost Another One: Smallest Video Camera
You see that picture? That's a needle at the bottom. I know, I thought it was a knight's jousting lance at first too and was all, "PFFT, THAT CAMERA AIN'T SO SMALL!" But no, it's a needle. Which you and I both know is like double the circumference of your protractor. What? I'm a urinal peeper!
This tiny camera was designed to shoot video inside the human body, replacing the more common fiber optic endoscope.
The camera itself is about 1 millimeter cubed, or about the same size as that eyeball computer we saw a couple of weeks ago.With 62,500 pixel resolution, the images should be pretty sharp, and what's really neat is the developer Fraunhofer says the camera will be cheap enough to be disposable.

- Removal of action figure playset from rectum: $3,000

Note: Video is after the jump. This is a little video of a mini cannon that's scarcely bigger than my wiener but packs an awful punch. Well, not an actual punch -- it's a cannon not a fist silly! Hit the jump to see the thing destroying a soda can, light bulb and beer mug, s... / Continue →
