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? With its built in 1.3 MP digital camera, Amoeba can easily capture photos or video and upload to your computer to save, send and share with anyone.

UV Monkey

UV Monkey Before we went into space ourselves we first sent a few monkeys up there as a test. You know, check it out, see how it feels, bring back a detailed report and let us know how it worked out. These "brave" monkeys flew a number of missions to investigate the various biological effects of going into space, so we would have a better idea of what humans might experience. This small keyring gadget is like your own personal space monkey. The UV Monkey will assist you by checking UV levels so that you know when to charge solar devices - and when to protect your skin. Once exposed to sunlight, the center will change to different shades of purple to indicate increasing levels of UV light (darker means higher level of UV). The UV Monkey can indicate 4 different ranges of the UV Index (Index 1-2, Index 3-5, Index 6-8, Index 9-11).

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus

MicroStylus Compact Capacitive Touch Stylus This just might be the best stylus ever made. I’m completely serious. - Matt Burns, TechCrunch Woe are we, the clumsy, the fat-fingered. It takes us twice as long to text because we're either cursing auto-correct or constantly backspacing to correct our mistakes. We've bookmarked every site we like because we can't be trusted to type URLs. Our accuracy in Angry Birds is pitiful, our verisimilitude in drawing games is laughable. We can't even pick up the right letter from our rack in Words with Friends. Woe, woe, woe. No more! The MicroStylus Jack is the tiny stylus that will have you texting with the skill of a middle schooler on Red Bull. Precision machined from aircraft grade aluminum, the MicroStylus has a soft silicone tip that gives you the edge for texting, drawing, emailing, or gaming. Where do you store this tiny wonder, you ask? Right in your headphone jack. Bam. It keeps dust out of your phone's interior while standing at the ready for your next move on Words with Friends. (Better take advantage of that TW square!) Product Specifications The world's smallest capacitive touch stylus Milled aluminum body with a soft silicone tip Perfect for an on-the-go stylus to take notes or game Keeps your screen free of greasy fingerprints Stores in your 3.5mm headphone jack Doubles as an audio jack dust cap Compatible with all capacitive touch surfaces (iPhone, Android, tablets, etc)

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.

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)

Electromagnetically Shrunken Quarters

Electromagnetically Shrunken Quarters The man at the carnival held out a minuscule coin. "What I've got here," he said, "is the product of magic... dangerous and bright magic at that." We peered at the coin and then raised an eyebrow. "Actually, it looks like the product of electromagnetic forming." What could the man say after that? Not much really, so we went on to explain the process just as we'll explain it to you. When you were a wee geek, you probably took a coil of wire and wrapped it around a nail. You hooked up each end of the wire to a little 9v battery and then using the resulting electromagnet to pick up paper clips. Well, electromagnetic forming is the same basic concept except blown up to Tesla-like proportions (well, more of a byproduct of Faraday to be precise). In a nutshell, electromagnetic forming is the result of cranking some scary high energy through a coil wrapped around a conductor. The coil gains a wicked magnetic field that's changing quite rapidly and imparts a magnetic field to the conductor via the "magic" of electromagnetic induction. The thing is that these two magnetic fields repel each other in a very violent way. If the power is sufficient and the experiment controlled, the coil explodes and the metal in the conductor is compressed. This all happens in less than 1/100th of a second. A dangerous and bright magic indeed! Product Specifications •Real quarters zapped by 6,000 volts at 100,000 amperes •The process takes less than 1/100th of a second •Size: About diameter of a dime but twice as thick •Yes, it's totally legal. Destroying money is only a crime if done with fraudulent intent. This is just fun science.

Gears of War 3: C.O.G Snub Pistol Precision Prop Replica

Gears of War 3: C.O.G Snub Pistol Precision Prop Replica There's blood in your mouth. The flecks of metallic splatter escape the convulsing skull of a Locust brute as you power the gnashing spin of rusted blades through his howling face. Does its blood taste like your chainsaw or is that the taste of the brute's crude chrome finish? The toughest part is at the base of the neck. It's surprising your saw doesn't give up half way through. It takes a moment to re-grip and drive down, and in that moment, the renewed sound of howling Locusts floods your ears. You shove the butt of the gun just under the crook of your right arm and reach for your Snub Pistol. There she is. A quick kiss on her barrel and it's over the shoulder, the corner of your eye running the length of her pristine body. You'd take a moment and marvel at her, but she's got work to do, and it'd be rude to think she's got the time. Breathing down the digitized neck of Marcus Fenix is the closest you'll ever get to feeling the shredding torque of blood-stained steel clawing its way through Locust flesh. But, the desire for proximity has finally been addressed: the Gears of War 3 C.O.G. Snub Full Scale Replica. A masterfully crafted, polystone-cast, precision replica of the standard-issue, semi-automatic sidearm, this piece comes straight from the hands of Delta Team.

Snub Full Scale Replica •Are you tough enough to handle one? •Officially licensed Gears of War 3 replica weapon •Made of hand-painted, hand-finished, hand-cast polystone •Feels like cold, hard steel in your hand •Dimensions: 13" long •Weight: 10 lbs

Adjusts to the job

Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench Gadgets For Geeks Doctor Who has his sonic screwdriver - a small tool that can adjust to any situation. It uses advancements in technology to provide an infinitely adaptable tool. While the Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench won't let you start up your TARDIS, it will let you fiddle with twenty three different sizes of bolts and nuts. And the secret resides in wrench's liquid core. Take a look at the little computer graphic cut-away, and you'll know what we mean. To adjust the Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench, just open the valve, fit around the nut or bolt of your choice, and push the gripper on the opposite end.

Once it is snug against the nut, close the valve and your Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench is locked into position. It's that easy! The slim heads of the wrench will let you sneak it into tight spaces, and the design of the grip will help you turn even damaged nuts and bolts. Once you get your Hydrokinetic Adjustable Wrench in your hands, you will instantly know its power - that it looks like something from Doctor Who or Star Trek doesn't hurt either!
