This clever device contains a rubber balloon that automatically inflates when hitting the water, causing any dropped items to rise gently to the surface.

It can lift up to 1Kg (2.2 pounds) and keep them floating for up to 24 hours. Thanks to its built-in high-intensity LED beacon, the Waterbuoy is visible from a distance of over 250 meters (272 yards) at night.

If you’re worried the Waterbuoy might inflate when some clumsy landlubber spills their pint on it, worry not. This smart rescue unit is splashproof and its patented internal triggering system only activates when totally submerged. Brilliant!

The Waterbuoy is available from Firebox for £14.95 (about $30 USD).

The unique battery-free Pedalite pedal lights for bicycles have been designed to “make cyclists more visible to motorists day and night, from a distance of up to 1km away and from any angle, including the side”.

As soon as you start pedalling the Pedalite pedals uniquely harvest and store a small amount of energy so the lights continue to flash when the cyclist is freewheeling or has stopped at a road junction.

Here are two video clips to give you a better idea of the Pedalite:

Features:

• A set of two 360° visibility bicycle pedals.
• Orange, red and white lights flash from the front back and sides of the pedals.
• The lights are battery-free, powered only by kinetic energy as you cycle.
• The Pedalites store a small charge as you cycle so the lights continue to flash for up to 5 minutes when you have stopped pedalling.
• The lights are visible from 1km away.
• The Pedalites themselves are durable and non-slip.
• Each Pedalite has 2 rows of supergrip studs for safe pedalling.
• The Pedalites screw-in in replacement of your bike’s existing pedals.
• Requires a spanner and screwdriver for application (not included).
• Suitable for ages 8 years+ (an adult must attach the Pedalites to the bike).
• Size: 12 x 9.5 x 3cm (per pedal).

The Pedalite pedals are available from Unusual Gifts & Gadgets for $79.99, or from I Want One Of Those for £34.99 (about $68 USD).

More info and retailers can also be found on the official Pedalite website.
