This gadget roundup features a wearable health tracker that “sniffs your farts” in an effort to curb flatulence, a table-top beer dispenser that wants to save you from less-than-perfect store-bought beer and gizmo straight out of science fiction that wants to change how you prepare meals.

A health tracker to curb flatulence

Named for the chemical formula for methane gas, the CH4 is a wearable device that wants to help reduce flatulence by analyzing your farts and suggesting changes in your diet.

You simply pop the CH4 in your back pocket or clip it to your belt and enter the type of foods you eat on the mobile app. CH4 correlates your gasses with your diet and starts learning which foods give you more gas than others.  As the app learns, it starts suggesting foods you should probably avoid.

Currently being funded on Kickstarter, the project has garnered some media attention, but very little success in terms of backing. With just four days to go, CH4 has only raised $3,141 against a goal of $180,000. You can get your CH4 for $120, but it looks unlikely to make it to production at this late stage.

Store-bought beer transformed into draft quality

Frizzics (pictured above) is a countertop machine that uses high-frequency sound waves and oscillation to create a dense, long-lasting foam head and consistent carbonation that result in an expert draft-like pour for regular store-bought beers.

The machine works with any store-bought beer, including cans, growlers and bottles in sizes from 12-oz to 64-oz. To create that perfect pour, you pop your beer of choice into the machine, insert a tube and close it up. The machine pressurizes the beer and you’re able to pour almost immediately. Pull the tap lever forward to pour and when you near the top of the glass, push the lever back to draw the thick foam head.

Currently being funded on Indiegogo, Frizzics has raised $50,655 against a goal of $50,000 in just two days. Set to retail for $199, early bird backers can get Frizzics for $119.

30-second meals Star Trek-style

The Genie is a machine that turns pods of dehydrated and freeze-dried natural ingredients into a meal in just 30 seconds.

The Genie works in a similar way to pod-style coffee machines. The pods contain natural ingredients mixed with freeze-dried fruit and vegetables and contain no added preservatives. Simply pop your pod of choice into the Genie, add a little water and 3o seconds later you have a 140-gram meal. The gizmo is operated by a companion mobile app that lets you tweak your diet.

In an interview with Reuters, Genie co-developer Doron Marco admitted that the ‘Replicator’ used on the USS Enterprise in the popular sci-fi series Star Trek, was the inspiration behind the invention.

The Genie is expected to retail for “several hundred U.S. dollars” and customers can pre-order their Genie on the company’s website. Watch the Genie in action in this video.
