There's a new league of "wireless HDDs" available out there,
For example: The Transcend Storejet Cloud and theSeagate Satellite
My question is: is it possible to make use of a wireless USB adapter in conjunction with an external USB HDD and turn it into a 'wireless HDD' of sorts?
Powering the wireless USB adapter and the external HDD can be done by using a self powered USB hub, as seen here.
I do not want to go for a NAS server based solution.

What you're looking for is a wireless USB hub such as this one (disclaimer: I've never used one, that's just the first Google result I found).
On one end, it has USB ports as with any USB hub; on the other end, it has a Wi-Fi radio that talks to your wireless network and exposes attached storage devices. For stuff like USB microscopes, oscilloscopes, &c., I wouldn't expect it to work, but something simple like a hard disk should be fine.
