5 of the Coolest Inventions made in 2021

There have been a lot of new inventions in 2021 that few people know about. Here are just a few of them.

The 2021 Swedish company Flyte has produced something they call a levitating light bulb. It works through magnetic propulsion which will make the object slightly hover to create an illusion of flight. It is a very expensive item, costing $7999. That is the one problem that may cause people who see it to not want to buy it.

Another new 2021 invention is the ASIWO Sea Scooter. Most people have probably tried swimming underwater and thought, “this is taking too long I’m going to get nowhere.”This is where the ASWIO Sea Scooter comes in. It propels people through the water at speeds of up to 3.5 mph, which may not be very fast above ground, but underwater, that is very fast. The only problem is the batteries run out after 70 minutes, so it is always good to have an extra one. The price on this though is only $284, so it is relatively inexpensive.

The new Cadillac VTOL is not just another transportation device. It is actually a vertical take off and landing hover vehicle. It can travel around in the air like a bird. The great thing about this is, people do not need to worry about traffic. It also runs on electric batteries which need frequent charges. But, the price on this is $600,000, so most people will not be able to afford it.

On Saturday, September 8, 2021, Ray-Ban and Facebook put out a new pair of glasses that are very high tech. These glasses allow wearers to record things, play music through them, and answer calls. They only respond to touch activation and pair with a cell phone so wearers can listen to music while walking. Wearers also do not even need to hold their phone, the glasses automatically reads the texts they receive so they do not need to pick up their phone every time it chimes. Surprisingly the cost for the glasses is $200 for shades and $250 for regular glasses.

The Razer gaming company has recently produced a new mask with a speaker so it can amplify voices. Voices will not be muffled when talking. It is a new and interesting design because many people have had problems with speaking while wearing their mask. This mask solves many problems with speaking through masks and could be helpful to a lot of people. The price for these masks start at $299 or above. 

These are just a few of the many inventions made this year, but people are always making new things, so be on the lookout for the next big idea.
