16 very expensive gadgets suitable for a luxurious lifestyle

    1. Triton 1000 - luxury bathyscaphe, $ 1 690 000 .

    Triton 1000 is the latest creation of US Submarines. This is a lightweight, double, practically minimally accessible displacement bathyscaphe, designed specifically for diving with luxury yachts. 1.8 meters high, only 3 meters long and weighing 3.3 tons, the Triton 1000 can be operated on almost any middle class boat.

    But besides the opportunity to take the bathyscaphe with you on a personal boat, Triton provides passengers with almost unprecedented comfort for such a device: leather seats with massage will not allow your ass to sit out (or whatever the rich have), a huge glass bubble does not interfere with the overview of the underwater world. This mini submarine even has air conditioning.

    Despite the fact that the Triton 1000 was conceived as a very easy-to-operate bathyscaphe, where everything is controlled by joysticks and a computer, the manufacturing company provides immersion and control courses absolutely free of charge, which makes a purchase for a little more than half a million dollars truly profitable !

    2. The Flying 19XRW Hoverwing Hovercraft - a flying hovercraft, $ 54,000 .

    Tired of high society? Then it's time to leave secular affairs and embark on a journey in this truly unique car. UH-19XRW Hoverwingfrom Universal Hovercraft is a hovercraft equipped with wings, which allows it to fly above the ground at a height of 2 meters. This allows you to fly over obstacles and potentially impassable places (for example, the mouth of a stormy river) as if you had not left your Rolls-Royce. In addition, in order to fly (or ride) on this contraption, you do not need a pilot license at all - it is registered as a boat in most countries of the world.

    Well, if you do not pull airspace, you can unfasten your wings, and then you will get a luxurious and very powerful hovercraft. Potentially, he is able to transport 6 passengers to where a person’s foot has not yet set foot. And the interior of the boat can be changed as you wish - at least put a bed there.

    3.Tecnologia Aerospacial Mexicana Rocket Belts - Mexican Jetpack, $ 250,000 .

    I once wrote about these satchels from the Mexican company Tecnologia Aerospacial Mexicana, as a device that can make a superhero even out of a jerk. But, in this case, to repeat is not a sin. With this device behind everyone can soar like Icarus, only without tragic consequences, at a speed of up to 20 km / h. A jet pack in the style of James Bond is far from a novelty in the modern world, the first such ideas appeared in the 60s of the last century, but they found their practical implementation only now.

    Having paid once a quarter of a million “evergreens”, the company will provide you with a fully tested, made to the right size, jet engine behind your back, but also a special machine for producing rocket fuel at home, a full training course and year-round support. It sounds like a very good idea for a bored millionaire - the ability to fly over your own villa with a backpack behind you is rumored to attract a lot of people.

    4. The Hovering “Lounger” - Levitating Chair, $ 13,336 .

    Although this device can be called a chair with a big stretch, the acrylic design is much more like a deck chair. Trust me when you see loungerfor the first time you think about only one thing - in this room a minute ago they shot Star Wars, and now the whole crew and the actor are hiding in the pantry. But they, of course, are not there.

    But there is a company HoverIT, producing a large number of various "flying" furniture - I just chose the best for you. In the air, a deck chair hangs due to powerful magnets located in the legs of the rack. As you can see - there is nothing but reinforced acrylic and magnets in the design and in this form the Lounger will be the maximum decoration of the interior. I advise you to take your favorite blanket, book and drag the chair to the fireplace. It will not be difficult to do this - it was prudently supplied with wheels.

    5. Luvaglio First Luxury Notebook - an individual laptop, $ 1 million .

    Stop staring at the price, better read this - Luvaglio , one of the most expensive and well-known manufacturers in the world of anything for huge grandmas, also took up laptops. To begin with, let's take a look at what this laptop cannot exactly cost that much money: it's a 17-inch widescreen LED monitor, a 128 GB SSD drive and a Blue-Ray drive. But at least one of those present here knows how much a black diamond costs, which here serves as a power button when placed in a special hole; what, at the same time, makes it also a kind of identification key? So I do not know, but I guess that a lot.

    The Luvaglio desk works on the principle of "best customers", which means that this is only one thing - a very small number of people can get such a laptop. Given the British passion for authenticity, I think no more than 5 laptops will disperse around the world. But everyone who wants to pay so much money for, in general, a laptop will be able to choose materials, accessories and the devil knows what else to their liking. Do you need silicon for the processor from the French riviera or take domestic?

    6. Panasonic PDP Widescreen - the plasma “box” is larger than the walls in your home, $ 70,000 .

    Panasoniс 103 "PDP Widescreenthis is a very, very large TV, with a 16-bit progressive widescreen display and Full HD matrix, a resolution of 1920 x 1080, a contrast level of 5000: 1 and, finally, 4096 levels of color gradation. In other words: the blood on this TV really looks like blood, not ketchup, tomato paste, instant juice, or anything else.

    Many new technologies make viewing a true, unclouded pleasure. The Real Black Creation function makes the dark contrast with the light so that the shadows are filled with a rich color; Contrast Management does not control the entire image, but in parts, exposing different areas on the screen with different values; and Motion Pattern Noise Reduction optimizes the picture if the movement in the frame produces visual noise.

    7.DI Vapor Cosmo TV Luxury Tab - Jacuzzi and TV, $ 7,000 .

    The full name of this advanced bathtub is Di Vapor's Cosmo B-DV003 TV and it's gorgeous. There is: a 17-inch waterproof monitor with remote control and video input for connecting a DVD player, TV or whatever you have.

    In addition, there are: a touch panel to control all possible modes, automatic shutdown of water jets, and there are 7 hydro-massage, 9 for massage bubbles, 6 for the back.
    Did everyone think? There is also underwater light, a fully customizable FM radio with memory function, hand shower, water level sensor, soft headrest and, inhale, RCD - a device for breathing underwater. So, just in case.

    8.Venturi Ferish Sports Electric Vehicle - Electric Fetish, $ 660,000 .

    The car that looks at you with ravenous and hungry eyes is called Venturi Fétish and its high price is explained by its origin - it is from Monaco. This is the first double electric sports car in the world that produces something about 250 hp, with acceleration to “hundreds” in 5 seconds. The maximum speed, unfortunately, is limited to 160 km / h - which, in general, is not so bad considering that the gearbox is missing as a given.

    A distinctive feature of Fétish is that thanks to the electric motor, all the torque of 220 Nm is available at any speed and speed. This means that from 100 km / h to 160 km / h the car accelerates in almost the same way as from zero to hundreds. Travel distance - 250 km on lithium-ion batteries, which are fully charged in 3 hours from the home network.

    And as a small bonus, with every Venturi Fetish there is a WiMax module with the ability to connect a computer.

    9. Sooloos Sound System - a home multimedia center, $ 12,000 .

    To tell you the truth, the Sooloos Sound System consists of a large number of devices for storing, listening and managing a music collection, and in the picture above - the Sooloos moduleControl: One , a touchpad to select your favorite songs and clips.

    In order to store songs imported to the Sooloos library from your computer or CDs, you need to purchase Twinstore - this is the name of a 1 TB liquid-cooled RAID array. The whole system is compatible not only with digital speakers (speakers), but also analogue, so the favorite Infinite Wisdom Grande kit (below) will connect without any problems.

    Sooloos Sound System can be controlled from a standard monitor, computer, iPhone, or even a browser. In addition, the entire music system can be ordered already with your favorite collection on board, so that you do not have to bother with this topic yourself. And if you want to buy new music in the world of music on CD, you don’t have to go to the store, just leave an order and the company will send you the original music disc and a second, specially encoded, for instant import of music into the system.

    10. The Dry Water Massager - luxury home enjoyment, $ 29,500 .

    This ... a dry water massager is usually located in 5-star hotels, but if you have a little extra money and desire, you can order one yourself and go home. 28 massage jets inside this ... coffin of pleasures will make a massage shiatsu all over your body in a matter of minutes. The aromatic diffuser stimulates relaxation by softening the skin with various oils and seasonings before frying . If this is still not enough, then inside there is a 7-inch LCD monitor and a DVD player that allows you to connect even an iPod. The sound, by the way, is also very good - it comes from the built-in Bose speakers.

    11. The Ferguson Hill Horn Speaker System - clear sound from transparent speakers, $ 17,851 .

    These huge and very unusual looking loudspeakers are made by the American company Ferguson Hill and produce sound from 150 Hz to 20 KHz, which, as you can see, is very much. But the most important thing is not even this, but the exceptional purity of the reproduced sound, dynamics and detail. The non-standard form makes them very effective, such a column needs only 5 watts in order for you to think: “I don’t give myself volume.” This allows you to install Hill Horn on the basis of even low-power amplifiers.

    The amplifier power recommended by the manufacturer for these speakers: from 3 to 50 watts, they are also ideal for add-ons of sound quality - what if you want to hear a royal symphony orchestra at home. And to buy such a system for something else, in my opinion, is simply blasphemous.

    12. Power-Assisted Suitcase - semi-automatic suitcase, $ 1 365 .

    The most modest-priced device of all that we considered in terms of luxury living. But he does not become less interesting from this. The English manufacturer of luxury cases and suitcases, the company LiveLuggage , recently introduced to the public a suitcase that rolls itself. The engine is powered by an external battery, which is charged from a simple network.

    When you have already set off, and immodest belongings are packed in this self-propelled device - the last thing you are ready to face is a discharged battery. But according to the manufacturer, and they can be trusted, the suitcase will ride behind you for 2 hours without stopping or almost 3 km. And if the terrain to be overcome is similar to the plain only from afar - the suitcase will not only roll itself uphill, but also charge the battery on the slopes according to the same scheme that works in hybrid cars.

    13. HighImpactPC PS3 Supercomputer - 1-Teraflops computer for the rich and famous, $ 27,220 .

    So we got to one of the most interesting exhibits. Frankly, before I came across HighImpactPC productsI had no idea how much extreme computer solutions for home and work cost now. It turns out - not so much.

    The PS3 Supercomputer cluster (not to be confused with the PlayStation 3), theoretically producing 1 teraflops of power (1 trillion floating point operations per second), costs "some" twenty-seven thousand dollars. But such a computer, nevertheless, will come in handy rather for solving some specialized tasks of high load, but is there something for us, ordinary users? There is.

    The company also produces high-power stations for gamers, which are much cheaper. For example, a system with 8 GB of RAM, a video system (SLI) of two Nvidia GeForce 1 GB cards, 1.5 terabytes of hard drive and two 25-inch monitors will cost $ 7,580. It’s only a pity that in a year it will cost half the price .

    14. Icon A5 Personal Aircraft - air taxi, $ 139,000 .

    I once wrote about this quirk to wealthy lovers of open air and today, once again, it is included in the list of desired devices. Icon A5- This is a two-seater sports aircraft aimed at the widest customer. It is easy to control, it lands both on land and on water, which makes it an almost universal means of transportation at a relatively low price (for an airplane).

    The kid is made of carbon fiber, and therefore very light. The engine seat is honorably occupied by the 100-horsepower Rotax 912 ULS, which operates on jet fuel and conventional gasoline. The wings of the plane are folding, which means that it can be stored even in the garage or transported on a trailer.

    What to say about various safety enhancements. Here is the propeller protection, the angle of attack indicators on the wings and even a huge parachute in case something went wrong. Icon A5 will be launched in 2010, so there’s still a little time left to raise money and be among the first, happy customers.

    15. Solo Solar Table - ergonomics, coupled with new technologies, $ 14,000 .

    This high-tech worktop: SOLO Lounge Table , manufactured by iF, combines ergonomics, solar panel functionality and a minimalist design, not whimsical to luxurious furnishings.
    Using bluetooth, the table collects, allows you to exchange and displays all the information from the devices in the reach field on the countertop, and in combination - LCD display. In addition to bluetooth, Wi-Fi is also built into the table, which will help make it an intermediary between computers in the house.

    This miracle of green technology also allows you to charge up to three portable devices via USB ports without wasting energy. On the entire surface of the countertop, silicon cells of the solar battery are “scattered”, generating 17+ kilowatts of clean energy. And in the evening, SOLo exterior lighting will set it apart from tons of inconspicuous furniture and create a pleasant, intimate atmosphere.

    16. The Infinite Wisdom Grande Speaker System - the maximum possible cool, $ 70,000 .

    The infinite wisdom grandenot like any music system ever produced. It has always been considered too large and prohibitively luxurious for small apartments; no, this can only be set in a palace or castle. The greatness and status of the company producing The Infinite Wisdom is also indicated by the fact that it is the largest supplier of its systems to royal families and presidents.

    These speakers achieve a high sound pressure of 120 dB in a relaxed manner and with unique quality. At a volume below 110 dB, each speaker automatically selects the necessary level of sound frequency - from the outside, all this seems like magic, but the quality and quantity in this music system develops into pure art.

    However, it is simply impossible to buy such a system for listening to the radio or a new album of domestic pop music, and it is unlikely that it will be sold to a person who does not have an authoritative, even in narrow circles, name. It makes sense to give $ 70,000 of value only if your musical preferences do not tolerate anything worse. And better, you believe, are unlikely to find.
