It's astonishing how small these gadgets are getting and amazing what they can do. Yet it is easy to forget about the tools and instruments used to make them. Micro technology requires highly precise instruments to ensure operation and reliability. Fowler High Precision carries these tools from micrometers and calipers to some of the most sensitive measurement instruments available in the world.

2. History of Gadgets
• A widely circulated story holds that the word gadget was invented when
Gaget, Gauthier & Cie company made a small-scale version of the Statue of
Liberty in 1886 and named it after their firm. Yet the word became popular
only after World War I.
• Other sources state that it originated from the French gâchette which has
been applied to various pieces of a firing mechanism or the French gagée a
small tool or accessory.

3. Solar Powered Vehicle
This is the world's
smallest solar
powered vehicle. This
eco-friendly, energysaving fashionable car
is powered by solar
energy and is a
perfect teaching aid
for for students.

4. MicroNav
MicroNav is the world's tinniest
mouse which was originally
designed to be used in sell
phones as a navigation device.
Today those devices can be seen
on airlines and banks. It is a
finger-actuated "mouse"
pointing module that provides
360-degree directional control
and accurate speed control
simultaneously.

5. Smallest TV Screen
Even though nowadays people
strive to buy bigger TV's, there
is also a market for the smallest
TV screen. This tiny TV screen
can have 1.44 million pixel
image resolution, which is twice
the resolution of a traditional
TV set. They are designed for iglass; personal giant-screen
theater.

6. Smallest Helicopter
GEN H-4 is a personal helicopter
tested in Italy and now is
available on sale for $53,000. It's
twin counter-rotating propellers
cancel out the torque that
requires single-rotor helicopters
to have a perpendicular tail
rotor. It has four small twin
cylinder engines feeding into a
central transmission with two
sets of rotors turning in opposite
directions.

7. Precision Tools
Micro technology requires highly precise instruments to ensure
operation and reliability. Fowler High Precision carries these tools from
micrometers and calipers to some of the most sensitive measurement
instruments available in the world.

8. Ultra-Cal V Electronic Caliper
Ultra-Cal V Electronic Caliper
is a 4-way measurement tool:
inside, outside, depth and
step. It helps to measure
distance with high accuracy
and precision. Ultra-Cal V
Electronic Caliper has direct
RS-232 output with the
maximum error of .001" or
.02mm.

9. Wyler Clinotronic Plus
Wyler Clinotronic Plus is an electronic
inclinometer with unsurpassed
versatility. It uses a specially designed
microprocessor and the well-proven
Wyler inclination sensor. It helps to
measure inclination within 5 seconds. It
has an adjustable base length with the
range of ±45° and the capacity of 0360°. This tool can potentially be used in
the manufacture of GEN H-4 helicopter
for measuring the inclination of its
rotors.
