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.

World’s Most Compact Electric Bike Goes 12.5 mph

bike2This cool Kickstarter campaign funds an electric bike that you pedal with minimal effort and it weighs only about 26 lbs, making it super portable. It folds and unfolds very easily – and in about 10 seconds. The brilliant design utilizes a detachable, easy to carry battery that charges in just 2.5 hours.

While it’s not designed for taking off-road, this is the ultimate city bike. Despite the diminutive size of the wheels, it is designed for an adult frame.

The bike’s sensors automatically detect a slow-down, such as when you’re making an effort to go up a hill, and the electric motor kicks in, no sweat.

The Kickstarter campaign for the A-Bike still has about 3 weeks to go and has already met its funding.

You can keep up with A-Bike Co on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and their website.
