The Imperial CAT-AT was made by Redditor Billyappletini who surprised his friend who loves Star Wars and has two cats. Check out his Imgur gallery of the process.

I wrecked my house for a month building this, which was about 27 days longer than I wish it would have taken. The trickiest part was keeping any of my friends from coming inside my place for that whole time – I knew they wouldn’t be able to keep it a secret! -Reddit.com

Dalkin Industries is developing a water resistant coating that will stop your cell phone from drowning! Simply dipping your the circuit board or mobile phone into this fluorinated solvent will protect your phone from water damage! Click through the break to watch the video.

This product isn’t intended for full waterproofing, but for raising the baseline in waterproofing to everyday standards. So we’re suggesting this coating as a way to reduce the risk of phones malfunctioning if they happen to get dropped in water. -diginfo.tv

This product is made by dissolving a fluoropolymer in a fluorinated solvent. The fluoropolymer is nonflammable and has low toxicity. By using this solvent, which isn’t subject to any particular regulations, we’ve achieved a coating that’s environmentally friendly. -diginfo.tv
