The Watercar

THE WORLD'S FASTEST AMPHIBIOUS VEHICLE
Is it a Jeep? Is it a speedboat? No, it's WaterCar's Panther amphibious vehicle!

Recreational amphibious vehicles are nothing new, but most of them are self built and tend to be either boats that can creep on land, or cars that slosh slowly through water.

Introducing ... the Panther. WaterCar says the Panther will do an impressive 80-plus mph on the road and 44 mph (38 knots) on the water. It will even tow a wakeboarder or skier!

The price? Around $135k .... but hey, you save the moorage!

The Ostrich Pillow

NEED A POWER NAP?

So you are tired, but you're out and about, your comfy bed hours away? And you don't mind to look ... well ... like some sort of an alien? In that case we found the perfect solution for you: The Ostrich Pillow! It blocks out noise and light to create a quiet micro environment. Fits snugly over your head and neck and has large openings for the nose and mouth. Those "ears?" That's actually sound mufflers and they serve as a place to tuck hands while leaning forward ("sleeping on your desk").

Hisy

The Bluetooth Smartphone Remote Control

"Let me take a selfie!"

No doubt, the smartphone has become the #1 camera in the world. And how many times a day do we find ourselves ... or see people ... taking that special selfie with whatever is in your background. Only - once in a while your arm is simple too short, right? In comes ... one of those simple ideas we all wish we had first: The Bluetooth Smartphone Remote Control.

There are several models out there, but we like the "HISY" the best. Why? It's small, it looks cool and it is super easy to use.
You just pair it once and from there, every time you activate the camera, you can take a photo – or start and stop recording video – just by pressing that same button. No app is required, and you can still use the phone's onscreen shutter release button when preferred.

The Boosted Board

The World's Lightest Electric Vehicle?

Imagine 2000 watts (2.6 horsepower) on a 12 lb. longboard!

You can do your favorite downhill tricks… going uphill. Or carve and carve… without ever pushing. More time riding and practicing, less time pushing and walking.

What started as a Kickstarter project is now in full swing and available for purchase. There are 3 models available:

$1299 Boosted Dual Drive – 1500 watts to go 20 mph, climb 15% grade hills, and go up to six miles on a charge.

$1499 Boosted Dual+ Drive – 2000 watts of power for 22mph, and 20% grades  ... and the $999 Boosted Single Drive – 1000 watts which will only get you up to 18mph and won't really go up any hills.

Acton RocketSkates

12 mph on a pair of Electric Skates

It started as a KickStarter project making their inventors more than ten times  ($550,725) than the pledged goal ($50,000). Funded! And the skates became reality. 

The big difference to other electric skates - there is no remote control, your feet control the skates by tilting the skates forward to accelerate, and tilting back on your heel to apply the brakes.
Each skate has two hub motors controlled by an on-board microprocessor, and are powered by a lithium-ion battery pack. The skates communicate with each other so they maintain the same speed and behavior.
