Magnetic Levitating Lamp with Wireless Phone Charger
A couple of years ago when I was roaming around at Consumer Electronics Show, a ridiculously cool tech caught my eyes. That is when I first saw a magnetically floating light bulb. Magnetic levitation is not new but consumer products that use maglev technology is.
That's not it. The base has a wireless phone charger built-in so you can charge any smartphone supporting QI charging. A good bedside lamp, isn't it?
This levitating lamp has two key components. The lamp holder and the bulb. You power on the device and suspend the lamp near the holder. The bulb floats without any support or contact, uses the maglev technique to do so. The bulb is powered through the air via magnetic induction, and lights are controlled by the touch button: on/off on the base.
The lamp has a metal body making it look decent on any table. It has touch control and a fall-proof

Smart Egg pro can replace any or all of your remote controllers. For example, you can use it to control TV, lights, curtain, AC and whatnot. Unlike the older version, the smart egg pro supports voice assistants like Google Home and Alexa. The new version also supports wireless charging.
SmartEgg pro is available to order here. I have personally tested it at CES2020 and it is 100% legit. You can back it with confidence.
Pokit PRO – All in one Multimeter, Oscilloscope and Logger
I came across this amazing gadget during CES 2020 and it is by far one of my favorite pieces of tech in 2020. Pokit Pro is a 3 in 1 device that can act as a multimeter, oscilloscope and data logger. The multimeter supports up to 600V and 10A. The oscilloscope can measure frequencies, display waveforms on your phone and works in time and frequency domain. The data logger can log the data continuously for six months. The logger is really handy if you are testing something in the long run.
You can visualize all the reading via their smartphone app. Since it connects wirelessly, you can put the device in action somewhere and view the reading at a distance.
It has a rechargeable battery that lasts upto 6 months which is ridiculously high. I wish I had this gadget when I was pursuing my Electronics Engineering Undergrads. Pokit pro is ultra-portable,
Manta5 Hydrofoiler XE lets you Bicycle on Water
There was a time when road bikes were popular but now it is time for waterbikes to make some noise. What if you could ride a bicycle on water? Yes, on water. Walking on water is not possible but at least we can bicycle on water, thanks to Hydrofiler XE by Manta5. You still don't believe me, do you? Just go down this article and watch the video yourself. I saw this humongous bike at CES 2020. Due to its size, it is not easy to carry. It uses the hydrofoil technique to stay afloat and requires you to continuously pedal it.
As I spoke to one of their team, Hydrofoiler XEÂ has a battery life of 1 hour. As soon as the battery reaches a threshold, it pops up a warning on the display. If the battery dies, it does sink down if there is a person on it.

Kangaroo showcased their newest product called privacy camera during CES 2020. The privacy camera is smart, comes with their patented privacy shield technology and it can be streamed via wifi.

As I spoke to one of their team at CES 2020, the fingerprint lock is not yet available in the market but it could be released in around September of 2020 (Update: the product is already available to purchase at HomeDepot). They did have a working prototype that I personally tested.
The battery life on the U lock is around 6 to 8 months which is amazing.
