Old School Swamp Fan Meets USB

Screen Shot 2015-07-24 at 10.29.41 PMComputer geek Wing Ng came up with an idea to stay cool using some old school ingenuity and married it with USB so you can take it anywhere and use very low power to stay super cool. His easy-to-assemble COOLMORE gadget is currently on Kickstarter with just under 3 weeks left to make its funding goal.

Using an ice pack (and this could be anything – including a bottle of water you pulled out of the freezer) and a computer fan powered by USB – and boom, you’ve got down right chilly conditions. Whether this helps you cool off a car that has a defunct air conditioner or just to chill out your man/lady cave, Ng shows how the fan really cools a room by utilizing digital temperature gauges that display a significant drop in surrounding temps.

A slight switcheroo with the COOLMORE lets you easily convert it from a room cooler to a beverage cooler – and it not only keeps your drinks cool, but can actually make them even colder.

If you’ve got an air conditioner working overtime to keep your place cool, the COOLMORE can take some of the heat off your system. With the COOLMORE using minimal power to cool a room, it gives your window unit or other system a bit of a break.

Learn more about the COOLMORE on their Facebook page and on their website.

It’s Almost October 21, Time to Get Back to the Future

flux1We’re almost to that spot in the future where Marty McFly meets his future self. It’s time to get your nostalgia on in a way that’s practical. Time travel itself – probably out of our reach for a while if not forever… but you can still have a functioning flux capacitor. This realistic replica helps you charge your gadgets that make the famed flux capacitor look pretty primitive in comparison. You can get one of these things you know you’ve secretly wanted ever since you’ve seen Back to the Future, for just $34 from Amazon.

October 21, 2015 is just around the corner. Get ready for the arrival of Marty McFly and Doc Brown – just make sure you’re able to get your DeLorean to 88 mph!
