SunMod Solar Modification Kit

SunMod Solar Modification Kit At first, we saw a picture of a solar-powered TV remote and thought to ourselves, "Wait? The TV remote lives INDOORS. Why would we want to make it solar-powered?" Then we realized that this could kill two angry birds with one stone. For starters, we'd have a remote that's always charged. But most importantly, we'd have to always leave the remote on the windowsill next to the couch, thus starting a good habit. This good habit will alleviate us of all the pain and suffering caused when we forget where we left the remote. Brilliant. Now we just need a few more kits to modify our game controllers. Add the SunMod Kit to any AA or AAA battery powered device and you will never need new batteries again. One set of NiMH batteries (not included) will last you forever because the sun will recharge them! Included in the kit is a flexible solar cell 4.8V with soldered metal connectors, mailable packaging, and double-sided tape. It's a fun and easy hack and a great way to get familiar with solar power projects. Product Specifications Hack any AA or AAA battery powered device to make it solar powered Never need new batteries again - just use the sun! Included: Flexible solar cell 4.8v with soldered metal connectors Mailable packaging and double-sided tape Easy way to break into solar power projects NiMH batteries are required and not included

SoundRacer Street Racing Engine Simulator

SoundRacer Street Racing Engine Simulator We grew up with Matchbox cars, driving tiny muscle cars across the bumpy terrain of our bedroom floors. Vroom vroom! Screeeeeeeeee! Vroom! We dreamed of the day when we would get our driver's license and be able to have our own V8 engine. Alas, the car we got was the one our parents had tired of, so Mom & Dad got the cool car while we got a hand-me-down with no AC. And now, we're too "responsible" for a sports car. That money went into a minivan to tote the kids to soccer practice or the dogs to agility competitions. But we still dream of turning the key in the ignition and hearing the thrilling sound of a powerful sports car engine. With SoundRacer, we can have the best of both worlds. Plug SoundRacer into your cigarette lighter and it will transform your car's boring engine sounds into the sweet roar of a much sexier car. Every action you take will affect SoundRacer: accelerate, decelerate, shift, cruise, or idle and SoundRacer will produce the appropriate sound. How does this magic work? After an initial calibration and a little fine tuning, the SoundRacer senses your engine's RPM by detecting the voltage increase in the cigarette lighter. It then produces the equivalent RPM sounds from a Shelby Mustang engine via your car stereo system. SoundRacer works great on most makes and models, but just to be sure, you can check the compatibility list here. Product Specifications •Makes your boring car sound like it has a Shelby Mustang V8 engine •Plug the SoundRacer into your cigarette lighter •Easy to calibrate and fine tune to work with your car •SoundRacer detects the RPM of your car using the voltage increase in the cigarette lighter and plays the appropriate sounds via your car stereo. •Works on most makes and models, but you can check the compatibility list here. •Note: SoundRacer does not work on hybrid or electric cars (yet).

Amoeba Dual Purpose Digital Microscope

Amoeba Dual Purpose Digital Microscope As wee geeks, we loved our science classes. Science was always fun and hands-on and related to the things we interacted with in our daily lives. Getting to play with the microscopes fell in the category of Best. Day. Ever. Using a microscope was like looking into a different world. We saw things that we didn't even knew existed - like amoebas! But we couldn't take the microscope home. And we had to share it with our lab partner, a kid with a purple spot on his left nostril, a clear sign of his grape-scented marker huffing habit. If only we had a microscope at home: we could have been studying science every night and every weekend. This dual purpose microscope is perfect for the home scientist. It features high powered specimen slide viewing and lower power to get a closer look at stamps, coins, and other small objects. You can even detach Amoeba’s tube for convenient handheld digital viewing of large objects. Need to snap a picture or video of your findings?

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light

Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light Let's get one thing clear, we like lights on our bikes. Maybe it's because we want a pedal-powered lightcycle, or maybe it's just because LEDs make us happy deep down inside. Whatever.

These times call for a Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light! The Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light is just a lovely piece of awesome.

Skulls, invaders from space, rocket ships, fiery comets, and 16 more! Get one Monkey Light 8-Bit Bike Wheel Light for each tire, and you will have the coolest bicycle ever (with the singular exception of Pee-Wee Herman's).

Steel Digital Calipers w/ LCD Screen

Stainless Steel Digital Calipers w/ LCD Screen You know the old saying, "Measure twice, cut once" that you probably learned from your geekdad whilst in his basement workshop? Well, it turns out that saying got its start because back in the day, measuring devices were awful. Whether you were measuring 3 inches or 3 yards, you couldn't be entirely sure your measurement was accurate. Measuring twice at least gave you a fighting chance of getting it kinda right. Did your homemade back porch wobble a little bit in places? Ours did, too. When you require exact measurements of small things, you reach for a caliper. But an accurate measurement is meaningless if you can't read it accurately. This caliper takes an essential tool into the 21st century with an extra-large LCD digital readout for exact internal and outside measurements accurate to .001". Instantly converts from SAE or Metric, the display can be zeroed at any point on the slide. Machine-grooved thumb-roll mechanism and position lock for sure adjustment. It's sexy with its hardened stainless steel shaft with depth-measurement probe and precision ground jaws. Measuring never looked so good. Rawr.

FieldCandy Space Tent

FieldCandy Space Tent When we pitched this tent at ThinkGeek HQ, it was an awe-inspiring moment. It is just so darn beautiful. Luckily, while it is full of stars (at least the flysheet is!), entering the tent will not transport you to a faraway star system, unless that's what you usually dream about while sleeping. At the moment, Stephonee (Inventory Monkey & SpaceTweep Extraordinaire) has claimed it as her new office space. We only see her when she has to come in to use the bathroom. Hold on to your SeV hoodie, because we're going to tell you all about this limited-edition beauty: Limited Edition Artwork With the limited edition, digitally printed, designer flysheet (only 195 in the world with the "Spacious" design!) and you'll be hard-pressed to find a twin to your tent wherever your camping adventures may take you. Heavy-duty Construction The base tent is a high-performance A-frame storm tent, based on the hardiest expedition tents on the market today. Extreme weather is no problem. Flysheet The flysheet is 100% polyester, flex & tear tested, highly UV fade resistant, and waterproof to a minimum of 3m hydrostatic head. It is treated with Ultra-Fresh to prevent buildup of nasties like fungus and bacteria and coated with teflon for ultimate strength. The flysheet also provides you with a "front porch" to your tent, where you can store items that you don't want in your sleeping space. Pin back one or both sides of the front porch area to let more light into your inner tent. Zippers Zippers are from YKK, the world's leading manufacturer of zippers. The flysheet features a YKK zip with large inner and outer toggle protected by a Velcro zip cover. Pegging Points Pegging points are strong elastic and adjustable for security and stability. They're designed to prevent roof dipping and groundsheet rucking and include storm guy lines for extra protection in bad weather. Pegs FieldCandy pegs are hardened aluminum, extra strong and nigh-impossible to bend. A handy little hole is drilled in there for your custom peg puller. Spare pegs and a hammer for knocking pegs into the ground are included. Poles High quality, high strength, lightweight, precision-engineered aluminum alloy poles are quick and easy to set up. With a little wiggle they slot together all by themselves! Inner Tent Modern tents are made of plastic and hold moisture inside, resulting in a miserable muggy atmosphere. FieldCandy's inner tent is 100% natural cotton that breathes, making the air inside much drier and more comfortable. FieldCandy inner tents are sewn with cotton and the flysheets with treated polyester, both through flat felled seams, which are then seam sealed for maximum performance. Sleeping Space Bigger than your average 2-person tent, FieldCandy's inner tent has a light grey interior, a mesh window for ventilation & light, and a place to hang your lantern. You won't DIAF either, because the inner tent is fire retardant to EU and US standard CPAI-84. (But always be sure to keep all fire far away from your tent.)

Pivot Power

Pivot Power - Articulated Power Strip A creative outlet Somewhere, in the grand history of electronic stuff, nobody bothered to set a standard for the size and shape of plugs and adapters. Thus, we have big square ones, long rectangular ones, semi-round ones, even oddly geometric ones. And trying to plug them all into one surge protector is like playing Tetris in a game with no long pieces. Pivot Power made us squeal with nerdly glee. With six adjustable outlets, we can pivot this surge protector in such a way that we can actually use all six outlets. Every plug fits into every outlet. And if that wasn't cool enough, you can also use Pivot Power's ... powers to wrap around furniture or squeeze a surge protector into hard to reach places. (The six foot long cord helps with that too!) With 672 joules of rock-solid protection, Pivot Power is poised to be our new favorite surge protector - why not give it a shot and see if you agree? Product Specifications •Adjustable power strip that holds large adapters in every outlet •Six adjustable outlets: every kind of plug fits into every outlet •No more unusable outlets!

Uzi Tactical Defender Pen

Uzi Tactical Defender Pen We've always had a thing for crime shows, especially the kind with lots of forensic science. Also, it may help when the scientist happens to be a tattooed goth girl that's on a constant sugar high. Just sayin'. Even if it's faux science done in blue-tinted labs, we love it. The thought of a criminal being brought to justice because they left an eyelash at the scene of the crime is just sweet. But we're also reminded that crime is real and you never know when the bad guys might strike. Are you expecting the unexpected? Does expecting the unexpected make the unexpected expected? Either way, the Uzi Tactical Pen turns a mere pen into a life saving tool. The DNA Catcher on the crown of the pen is very sharp and can be used to deliver a very nasty jab to an attacker, causing extreme pain and giving you a sample of their DNA to use when you go to the police. Not expecting to get attacked? The crown also doubles as a glass breaker if you ever get trapped in your vehicle... If things get really bad, you can always rely on the hidden handcuff key inside the top of this pen. This badass writing utensil is made of high-grade aircraft aluminum and writes upside down or under water. If you can find a situation where you use all of this pen's features and live to tell the tale, we probably owe you some sort of prize. Product Specifications •Tactical pen made from aircraft aluminum •Pointed DNA catcher crown that you can use for self defense and come away with your attacker’s DNA •Also works as a glass breaker, if the idea of getting DNA samples squicks you out •Handcuff key hidden under the glass breaker crown •Accepts standard Parker and Fisher Space Pen refills •Pocket clip (removable) •Writes with black ink, upside down or underwater •Dimensions: 6" x .55" (152 x 14mm)

Bullet Shell Whistle

Bullet Shell Whistle There is one very simple piece of survival equipment that many folks forget about: a whistle. A whistle can quickly and easily warn of danger or signal your location. So, we wanted to find a really unusual whistle for y'all. And this is it. What makes it so unique? Well, it's crafted out of a for real bullet shell. That's why we call it the Bullet Shell Whistle. Aren't we clever? The Bullet Shell Whistle is made out of a real bullet shell - hand-crafted to make sure it's free of danger (lead, going boom, etc). It's got a paracord (550 lb) loop on it so it can easily attach to your gear, pack, keychain, or any loopy thing you have on your person. It's also loud - tested up to about 120 dB (which is just a little softer than an actual gunshot). So get a Bullet Shell Whistle for your survival gear today, and be the envy of all those who survive tomorrow! Bullet Shell Whistle •Brilliant (and wicked) survival whistle hand-crafted out of a spent bullet casing (.223 / 5.56 to be precise). •Paracord loop attached to hang from belt, pack, keychain, piercing, etc. •Totally safe to put to your lips (no powder, lead, residue, or chance of going bang). •Peaks at approx. 120dB. •Dimensions: 1.75" long (whistle); approx. 4.25" long (from tip of whistle to end of cord). .

Click Dip-Switch Watch

Click Dip-Switch Watch We spent numerous hours of the 1980s in our local arcades, pumping quarters into our favorite machines. These days, if we want to relive our childhoods, we have to go to PAX (or PAX East) to hang in the classic arcade room. Unfortunately, turning a room of our house into a dank, sticky-floored, blinky-lighted sanctum of gaming is out of the question for both reasons of money and housemate relations. The Click Dip Switch Watch allows us to embrace the glory days of arcade gaming and have it embrace us... on the wrist. The dip switch was used in arcade games to store settings back in the days before RAM. We love the ingenious way dip switches are used to show the functions of this digital watch. Each dip switch activates a different function of the watch, from bar graph metered time display, 12 hour and 24 hour digital time display, month, date, day of week, and backlight. The strap even looks like electronic ribbon and it comes packaged in an actual circuit board. Product Specifications •Dip switches show the functions of this digital watch •Each switch activates a different function: ◦Bar graph metered time display ◦12 hour and 24 hour digital time display ◦Month, date, day of week display ◦Backlight •Strap looks like electronic ribbon •Comes packaged in an actual circuit board •Battery: CR2032 (included, replace when lights look dim)

DIY Music Box Kit

DIY Music Box Kit Music boxes came to prominence in the 19th Century, but their history dates back a few hundred more years. You see, there was this bell ringing dude who got tired of all the hard work. So, he decided to engineer a device to make his life a little more hip. It was a cylinder with metal studs. Each stud (as the cylinder rotated) operated cams which rang the bells. Further research determined that the first song played on this new system was the theme to Super Mario Brothers! And so that's the first song we made when we got our hands on this awesome little kit (albeit with one note wrong to adjust the key). This music box kit is a bit more open source, though. There are no pins, but a strip of paper, which you punch yourself. That's right, you punch all your own songs! No more listening to "Memory" - it's time for Koji Kondo's greatest hits (the genius behind many of Mario's and Link's most memorable themes). We'd love to chat more, but it's time for us to compose a lullaby for Princess Peach. Click here to download a PDF blueprint of the Super Mario Brothers theme. 'Cause sharing is caring.

Wooden Catapult and Trebuchet Kits

Wooden Catapult and Trebuchet Kits In the days before gunpowder (at least in the west), folks had to find new and intriguing ways to throw death and destruction at each other. They started by throwing rocks, then progressed to hurling giant stones, and then to flinging boulders. The evolution of the machines used to accomplish this hurling is as intriguing as the things hurled. Many times trash and debris were lobbed over castle walls to rain down upon unsuspecting masses or invading armies. These kits let you bring back all the fun of flinging. Each one can assemble in just a few hours, and provides a fantastic scale model of an actual war weapon of yore. The catapult is perfect for chucking balls of paper and other small objects over cubicle walls. The trebuchet is better for long range targets (like the water cooler or networked printer). And, all you need to put them together are some strong fingers (or pliers), a cutting tool, and glue (not included). Both kits are perfect for showing your love of retro weaponry. Please Note: Though these kits are for educational purposes, they are functional. Care should be taken when constructing and using them. Don't use anything living as a target or projectile. Because kits must be glued together, opened kits are non-returnable.

BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm

BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm All killer robots have to start somewhere. What will eventually one day be a muscle made of BioMetal Fiber capable of lifting humans into the air and crushing their skulls with one arm must have a beginning. And that beginning is the BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm.We love this little walker; read on to find out why! Each BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm has one strand of BioMetal Fiber. When current is applied, the fiber heats up and contracts. This pulls the Inchworm's feet apart. When the current is stopped, the fiber cools and expands. Add a little grippy fabric on the bottom of each foot and the spring to return it to its original position, and you can easily see how the little inchworm can walk along most non-slick surfaces. The BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm is a great desktop toy, but it could also be the focus point of a killer science fair project. Remember, though, to treat your BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm with respect - 'cause when it's great grandson of a killing machine comes around, you'll need all the good references you can get! BioMetal Fiber Walking Robot Inchworm •One strand of BioMetal Fiber is all that it takes to get this inchworm strolling. •The BioMetal Fiber works like muscle fiber - when it heats up, it contracts. •Heat up the fiber by applying electrical current. •A great desk toy and a super awesome science fair project. •The inchworm's single fiber muscle is sort of like a precursor to the muscles in Terminators! •BioMetal Fiber is about 0.15mm in diameter. •Batteries: 2 x AA (not included) •Dimensions: approx. 1.75" x 1.5" x 0.44" (no current) - with a 19" (approx.) leash wire.
