iFly is an indoor skydiving experience which you can do at three centres in the UK – Basingstoke, Manchester, and Milton Keynes.

It works by using a vertical wind tunnel which pushes out a column of air, allowing you to fly. Wind speeds in the tunnel can reach 165 mph.

As a first-timer, the aim is to try and hold the correct body posture for the time you are in the tunnel. As you become more experienced, you can learn specialist tricks – such as flying upside down.

This fire extinguisher looks just like a shotgun, but it is incredibly effective at dealing with dangerous fires.

It's called the IFEX 3000 and it has been used by firefighters in Germany since 1994.

By using compressed air, the sudden change in air pressure starves the fire of oxygen, extinguishing it very quickly.

The extinguisher has a top range of 16 metres but is most effective between 6-10 metres.

This machine is able to transplant seedlings in a matter of minutes and it's incredible to watch.

The HP-16 Transplanter originated from Japan but its ease of use has seen its popularity spread.

The machine works by using paperchain pots that are pulled apart by a metal arm.

Each chain pot has 264 cells, but the spacing of those cells varies between the model of chain pot.

The transplanter does not use any fuel or energy and only requires an operator to pull it.
