It ain’t rocket science. Boil water anywhere with The SunRocket Solar Water Heater

SunRocket Logo and Product Shot

It might not be rocket science, but there’s definitely some science working here in this useful gadget. Introducing The SunRocket, a portable solar hot water kettle and thermos. The SunRocket uses the latest in solar thermal technology allowing it to heat up water and retain the heat for hours without the use of any electricity or battery power.

So how does it work? Glad you asked! It combines a vacuum tube with reflective panels to concentrate solar energy towards the container. Pretty simple idea and best of all, it works. It’s almost like wearing a black shirt in the sun on a hot day, but 20 times hotter.

SunKettle in Stream

Mmm, drinking water never tasted so good. Perfect for camping, travel, mountaineering, or the end of the world. But don’t let the lack of emergency situtions stop you from using it. As well as for drinking, hot water can even be used for washing, cooking or rehydrating foods and best of all the heat treatment kills water borne bacteria. Sweet. Nothing like a bacteria free cup of Earl Grey.

Why sacrifice a good cup of tea just because you have a front row seat to the apocalypse. That’s what I always say. Heat up that water and tea bag that mug. Careful though, it’s hot.

Sun

It’s super easy to use, and doesn’t take too long. Just about a half hour in some sweet west coast sunshine and bob’s your uncle. Speaking of Bob. He went in the sun for a half hour with some reflectors aimed at his face just like the SunRocket. Let me tell you, I’ll never look at a sausage the same way again. Lather on that sun screen kids. SPF 50.

Specifications

• Vacuated vacuum glass tube made from Vycor glass
• (95% silica, high temperature and thermal shock resistant) and copper / aluminum absorption

Supernova Powerball is an intense light workout

There’s been a lot of famous balls in history, Mad Balls, Dragonballz, Lucille Ball. But none have provided as much exercise and entertainment as Powerballs.

 Powerball Logo

Powerballs are the ultimate palm size exercise machine. They are great for working out your grip and forearms. After using one for a few weeks I can safely say the arms are shredded like iceberg lettuce in a Slap Chop. Ripped.

Each Powerball is equipped with a gyroscope that rotates inside. This provides resistance using it’s own centrifugal force. The intensity of your workout depends on you. The faster you spin it, the bigger the circle it tries to spin and keeping the rotations small takes a lot of strength!

I took this supernova ball to the office to show it off and the blue and white flashing lights drew quite a crowd. There were some people that just couldn’t get the hang of it, but generally most people were able to grasp the motion needed to keep it alive. After showing everyone all day long how it works I was unable to lift my arms up the next day. Someone told me I looked like a broken Wacky Waving Inflatable Arm Flailing Tube Man.

It was a low point in my life but I’m doing fine now.

But anyway, it’s very fun to use, you just have to be careful to not overdo it. It’s hard to notice that it’s working up to 40lbs of resistance – but it does. So take it easy when you first give it a shot or you might just get the best forearm workout of your life.

The power balls are super fun. Some even come with counters so you can measure your speed and rotations. They even come in other colours and designs with different features that make great stocking stuffers!

 

Powerball Variety

These Powerballs are great! I think I’m ready to graduate to two at a time.

On second thought. Better stick to one.

Here’s the real map to the stars that totally glows in the dark

No, I’m not talking about directions to Ryan Goslings house. I’m talking about a real Star Map. Yup, the final frontier. When it comes to maps anyway.

Star Map Glowing Logo

It’s the Glow-In-The-Dark Star Map! A beautifully designed map of the constellations. It’s a thing of beauty. C’est magnifique! That’s french for awesome. I couldn’t remember my Klingon so French was close enough.

Star Map At Night

This beautiful map is about 16 x 20 and made of a nice quality stock. Perfect for framing and mounting on the wall. The detail in the design is quite impressive with a funky retro flair. It basically has all the stars in the galaxy there, give or take a few billion and even has some nice subtle zodiacs printed with glossy varnish too. Clearly the designer went to the moon on this one and had his printing dreams come true. Maybe they wished on a star?

This map here is going to boldly go where no picture has gone before, and that’s right above my bed. Tonight I’m sleeping under the stars – time to get my glow on.

The Brown Paper Lunch Bag stands the test of time as the greatest way to pack a lunch

Brown Paper Bag Luckies Front View

It’s true. The lunch bag has withstood the test of time. To this very day it is still the worlds greatest way to pack a lunch. But in my life, I’ve seen the wheel reinvented, and to that I say, check this out.

It may appear like your ordinary run of the mill Brown Paper Lunch Bag but take a closer look. There’s more than meets the eye!

Brown Paper Bag Inside

Yup. I just blew your mind. Not only is this brown paper lunch bag Tyvek (a tear proof, weather proof, rip proof, highly durable material), it’s also insulated! Now you can keep hot things hot longer and cool things cooler. Consider this your Brown Paper Lunch Bag 5Gs.

Brown Bag Part of a complete breakfast, er lunch

I love this thing. My brick cheese sandwiches and yogurts won’t even know what hit them. As for my co-workers, let’s just see them call my lunch a sad sack now.

Holy crap man. Did I forget? This bag also rolls up and has a double snap magnet in it. It snaps closed so you never have to worry about it opening up by accident. Genius!

And since Tyvek is still a paper product, you can doodle on it like a regular lunch bag and make it your own. Best lunch bag ever. Hooray!

Bag it and tag it people. Bag it. And tag it.
