USB Lightbulb Lamp

USB-powered laptop lamp with flexible arm.

 

Overview

The USB Lightbulb is a no-fuss portable laptop lamp. To turn it on, simply plug it into any USB port.

Smartly, the USB Lightbulb's power cord also doubles as its flexible stand. The thin electrical conduit easily supports the weight of the bulb so you can position it precisely where you want it.

Housed inside the plastic bulb is a long-lasting cool white LED. And as a bonus, the bulb's surface glows in the dark when not plugged in. 

Features & specs

  • Dimensions: 2.5" diameter x 16"
  • USB-powered (no batteries required)
  • Flexible cable (9.5") can support weight of bulb
  • Glows in the dark when turned off
  • LED bulb never needs to be replaced

USB laptop light with zero fuss

The USB Lightbulb Lamp is as simple to operate as possible: plug it in. There are no switches, no batteries, no lampshade, and no bluetooth pairing.

Simply insert the USB plug into any USB port and you've got light!

The USB Lightbulb Lamp provides a soft blue light.

The power cable = the stand

By utilizing a flexible electrical conduit for the USB cord, the creators of the USB Lightbulb Lamp solved two problems simultaneously.

First (and most importantly), they routed power to the LED bulb. Second, they created a stand that is extremely flexible. You can position the lightbulb precisely because the cable holds its shape and is strong enough to support the weight of the bulb. Wicked smaht.

The USB Lightbulb Lamp's 9.5

Glows in the dark when not in use!

We love stuff that glows in the dark! And while you wouldn't normally think to make a bulb out of phosphorescent material, we think it's brilliant! (Pun city!) Whenever the USB Lightbulb Lamp is plugged in, it's charging the glow in the dark material.

The USB Lightbulb Lamp glows in the dark.

PowerUp 2.0: Electric Paper Airplane Conversion Kit

Toss homemade paper airplanes hundreds of feet!

 

 

Overview

Dramatically extend the loft and distance of your home made paper airplanes with the PowerUp Electric Power Module.

Using a powerful propeller attached to a durable carbon fiber shaft, the PowerUp can create flights lasting up to two minutes long and traveling hundreds of yards!

The simple clip-on design will fit onto nearly any paper airplane. Once attached, press the small hand-held charger into the nose of the power module for up to 20 seconds. The propeller will start spinning upon contact and once it's up to max speed, you're ready for take-off!

Each kit includes a storage case, instructions, power module, charging unit, and spare propeller. Requires 3 AA batteries (not included). 

Features & specs

  • Dimensions: 8.5" x 1.75" x 0.75"
  • Materials: Fiber carbon composite, ABS plastic
  • Up to 2 minutes of free flight time
  • Charges in 20 seconds
  • Tosses travel hundreds of feet!
  • Includes 1 spare propeller
  • Requires 3 AA batteries (not included)
  • Use 8.5x11 or A4 printer paper (not included)

Two-minute-long paper airplane flights!

With the PowerUp Electric Power Module, you can easily toss regular paper airplanes hundreds of yards. Simply fold a standard piece of copier paper into the design of your choice, clip on the PowerUp, and take flight!

PowerUp Module electrifies your homemade paper airplanes.

Durable electric motor attaches to nearly any design

The PowerUp Electric Power Module is made from a tough fiber carbon composite in order to withstand the occasional rough landing. That being said, only fly your PowerUp in grassy fields. Avoid asphalt and concrete.

The clip-on power module will attach to nearly any paper airplane design. The only restriction is that your design must be shorter than 8 inches. Other than that, feel free to flex your imagination when it comes to your aerogami.


The PowerUp Electric Power Module for paper airplanes.

Charges in under twenty seconds!

Prior to takeoff, dock the charger nose into the front receptacle of the power module and the propeller will spin to life. Listen carefully. When the prop is at its highest pitch, give your aircraft a gentle toss and watch it take to the skies!

With a quick 20 second charge, you can send your paper airplane on long distance flights.

Super long flights!

Depending on wind and weather conditions, the PowerUp is known to create flights of up to two minutes in duration! Crazy!

During our extensive testing (which did eventually devolve from serious scientific study to grown men acting like children on Christmas Day), we found the PowerUp to be extremely easy to use and powerfully addictive.

However, due to the size of the field we were in (only about 1.5 acres), our flights typically ended after about 30 seconds when the PowerUp would inevitably hit a tree or a car (sorry, neighbors!). Keep in mind that it may take a bit of practice to achieve those long 2-minute flight times, but it's definitely a possibility!

With the PowerUp, you can send your paper airplanes flying for over two minutes.

Experiment with different designs

Nearly any paper airplane design shorter than 8 inches will work with the PowerUp. There are tons of resources available online that offer instructions for folding standard 8.5x11 or A4 printer paper into aircraft.

The PowerUp's instructions include a simple, yet very effective design that allows you to experiment with aerodynamic adjustments. For instance, you can adjust the design's elevons to create a flight path that produces a wide arc so that your plane (hopefully) stays within your immediate area.

The PowerUp clips on to a wide variety of paper airplane styles.

PowerUp box contents

The PowerUp Electric Power Module includes the following items: instructions, charger (requires 3 AA batteries which are not included), a spare propeller, and the airplane module.

TurboSpoke Bicycle Exhaust System

Make your bike look and sound like a motorcycle!

 

Overview

Make nearly any bicycle look and sound like a growling motorbike with the TurboSpoke Bicycle Exhaust System.

With installation taking less than five minutes, the TurboSpoke utilizes durable "Motocards" and an effective clamping and amplification system to make your bike roar like a four stroke engine.

Each TurboSpoke comes equipped with three waterproof Motocards, which each produce a different engine sound when struck by the spokes of your bicycle. The lightweight and durable exhaust "pipe" acts like a horn to increase the volume produced by the Motocard.

Includes 15 stickers to decorate the TurboSpoke. Installation requires an allen wrench which is included. Motocard refill packs are available.

Features & specs

  • Fits on 95% of all bikes
  • Minimum wheel size: 16"
  • Maximum frame diameter: 1.5"
  • Includes 3 "Motocards" which each create a different sound
  • Durable Motocards are waterproof
  • Plastic exhaust is lightweight, durable
  • Installs in 5 minutes
  • Includes all tools required for installation
  • Ages 6+

Turn your bike into a motorbike in under 5 minutes!

The TurboSpoke Bicycle Exhaust System is like strapping a dirt bike engine onto the back of your bicycle.

Forget the pitter patter of clothespins and baseball cards. The TurboSpoke makes your bike roar and growl like a four stroke engine.

The Turbospoke Bicycle Exhaust System fits 95% of all bicycles.

Step 1: Attach the clamp

To install the TurboSpoke, begin by placing the clamp onto the frame of your bicycle on the side opposite of the chain. Spacers are included with the TurboSpoke to accommodate frames of different diameters up to 1.5 inches.

Position the clamp so that the pedal will not strike it when turned. You will then tighten the clamp using two sets of nuts and bolts (included, of course). Use the included allen wrench to tighten.

To install the Turbospoke, begin by attaching the clamp on to the frame of the bike.

Step 2: Choose a motocard and insert it

After attaching the clamp, choose one of the three included Motocards and slide it into the clamp. Secure it using the yellow retaining pin. This ensures that the card never comes loose no matter how hard you're pedaling.

Motocards are also sold in a 3-pack of refills. The refill pack contains one each of the same three Motocards that are included with your original TurboSpoke purchase.

Next, insert one of the three Motocards.

Step 3: Insert the exhaust pipe

The final step is to insert the exhaust into the clamp. You're done! Now go make some noise.

After inserting the retaining pin, insert the Turbospoke exhaust.

Choose from three different "engines"

Every TurboSpoke includes three ultra-durable and waterproof Motocards.

Each Motocard features a different sound. They range from the swarming bee sound of a two stroke engine (blue card) to the deep growling snarl of a four stroke (red card). The yellow card sits somewhere nicely in between.

The Motocards included with your TurboSpoke are super durable and should last you a long time. But, if they start to suffer from wear and tear due to your savage biking skills, we do have refill packs available.

The Turbospoke Bicycle Exhaust System comes with three different motocards. Each produces a different sound.

No batteries required

The TurboSpoke system, similar to using trading cards and a clothespin, is "pedal powered". However, that's about where the comparison ends.

The TurboSpoke is orders of magnitude louder and looks infinitely cooler. The Turbospoke is to the baseball card as the smartphone is to a pair of cans and a string. They both transmit sound, but they're really not in the same league.

The retaining pin ensures that the Motocard stays firmly in place.

Seriously, it's loud

The TurboSpoke is loud. It will probably annoy your neighbors. And we think that's exactly the point.

The exhaust pipe, which acts like a horn, is made from plastic. This means it's lightweight, and most importantly, durable enough to withstand the punishment of being affixed to a kid's bike.

The Turbospoke Exhaust helps to amplify the sound from the Motocard.

Decorate your TurboSpoke with included sticker set

A set of 15 stickers is included so that you can decorate the exhaust of your TurboSpoke for a customized look.

Each Turbospoke comes packaged with 15 stickers so you can customize it.



Everything included, even the allen wrench

The TurboSpoke is ready to install right out of the box. Every item you'll need is included.
Here's a breakdown of what is included: (1) Plastic exhaust, (2) Set of 15 custom stickers, (3) Motocards, (4) Rubber spacers, (5) Plastic spacer, (6) Clamp, (7) Plastic retaining pin, (8) Nuts and bolts, (9) Allen Wrench.
