I am issuing a challenge. List cool sci-fi technology from ANY type of media. A book, a tv series, a movie ANYWHERE. The more obscure the better. (e.g. try not to list a lightsaber or TARDIS). Be inventive. Make me google it. Try to avoid joke stuff like things from Futurama. Be serious.

Here, I'll get you guys started.

The Digital Bloodhound- From The 1967 Spider-man series that can pick up someone's "scent".

Garbage-eating organisms- from Captain Planet.

Off you go.

Darth Abonis
Come on. I'l give you another one: AMEE, the beserk robot from Red Planet.

the medical pods from "Elysium" were unbelievable.

Darth Abonis
Jeez come on guys, I'll give you three more
1.) Genetically engineered super spiders in the Spiderman movie (2002)
2.) Batman Beyond's batsuit, specifically the strength enhancing feature
3.) The X-Vault from Power Rangers, basically because I love Venomark

The cerebral bore from Turok
The motion detector from Aliens (the whole 'you're just readin me' scene still puts me on edge even after hundreds of watches)
I remember from the old turtles cartoon that 2 alien tourists had a camera like device that didn't take a picture of landmarks but actually sucked in the landmarks themselves. Always thought that was cool.

To go for more iconic stuff that probably won't get a mention
Ghostbusters proton packs and containment units.
The Stargate
Borg Cube
The farsight XR 20 from Perfect Dark
The Dyson Sphere from star trek next gen.
