K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 Hand Crank That Puts Out 120 Volts DC

Version two of the K-TOR Pocket Socket ($64.95) has landed.  You still get to charge your electronics via a hand crank.  Output voltage is 120 volts at 10 watts of electricity.  While you wont be able to run a microwave, power tools, or a hair dryer, you will be able to charge a long list of electronics.  You can supply power to smart phones, tablets, digital cameras, portable gaming systems, handheld radios, etc…

So what are the K-TOR Pocket Socket 2 differences?  They took what they learned from the original product and now have:

  • Stronger power train
  • Improved electronics
  • Newer, stronger polycarbonate plastic
  • Molded, patterned grips for secure handling
  • Emergency yellow graphics
  • Earth-friendly packaging

Read on for more details.

Superman and Batman Cologne

Nothing turns a woman on like the smell of Super Hero cologne.  In this case you have a tough choice to make… Batman Cologne or Superman Cologne.  These Batman and Superman Colognes are made by Marmol & Son and will set you back about $14 here.  Funny stuff.

EA Online Pass Program Ends

In an effort to boost company revenue EA created an Online Pass Program in 2010.  The idea behind the EA Online Pass was that they could make money off of the used game market by charging second-hand users to pay additional fees to unlock content.

Bad idea.  Long story short, EA has finally done the right thing and is ending the program.  “Many players didn’t respond to the format,” the company told GamesBeat. “None of our new EA titles will include that feature.”

Bloody Cleaver Clutch Purse

This Kreepsville 666 Cleaver Clutch is probably more effective than pepper spray as a deterrent.  If I saw a woman walking down the street with this Cleaver Clutch in hand I would most likely cross the street.  Perfect for Halloween or when you are rocking the vampire look.

Airplane Engine Motorcycle

This is more about the wow factor than anything else.  So don’t fret over the fact that you can’t take a corner without dragging the motor, or that the belt on the left side of the bike is likely to rip your pant leg off, or that if it doesn’t start in the first few tries you will likely have a dead battery.  None of that matters because when this bike is parked next to others… they will all be invisible. 

This bike was put together by Frank Ohle in Germany and is powered by a 150hp Rotec Radial R3600 airplane engine.  This bike is amazingly unique and has to be one of the only 9-cylinder bikes around.  Video of the airplane engine motorcycle in action after the break.

Honda GROM

Honda ha a bunch of cool new bikes hitting the road in 2014.  One in particular will end up in my stable though, the Honda Grom.  It reminds me of a Ducati Hypermotard / Monster that has been shrunken.

“This is really a fun time for Honda fans, as we unveil these four incredibly cool all-new machines for 2014 that reach out to entirely different segments of the market,” said Powersports Press Manager Bill Savino. “This introduction serves as a perfect example of what 2014 is going to be like for Honda, as we continue to bring diverse and completely new concepts to riders, no matter what kind of machines they might favor.”

While the Honda Grom is closer to pit-bike sized than that of a full sized motorcycle… it comes with some cool gadgetry and tech.  Start off with the smaller frame, and LED taillight, 12-inch wheels, a two passenger seat, an inverted front fork, hydraulic disc brakes, a 125cc fuel-injected engine, a standard 4-speed transmission, and a digital instrument cluster.  All this goodness for just $2,999.  I am smiling just thinking about it.  Cool Honda Grom Videos after the break.

The Zoll AutoPulse Cardiac Support Pump does near perfect chest compressions which help in cardiac arrest situations.  The Zoll AutoPulse is battery powered and uses a load-distributing LifeBand to squeeze the entire chest.  This allows for more consistent compressions than those delivered by typical manual compressions.  Another nice feature is that while the AutoPulse is providing compressions the life-saver can focus on other activities.  Genius!

WaterDog Dog Activated Drinking Fountain

Give your outdoor dog clean drinking water.  No more stagnant, and potentially unhealthy, drinking water.  The WaterDog is an automatic outdoor pet drinking fountain.  WaterDog works by activating a stream of water when your dog gets within 3-feet of the fountain, and turning off when your dog walks away.  All you need is an outdoor faucet and 4 C-batteries (up to one year).  Video of the WaterDog automatic pet fountain after the break.

iFlask Smartphone Flask

Trying to sneak alcohol into concerts, sporting events, and cruise ships is getting next to impossible.  Backpacks and purses are being searched and pockets are being frisked.  I personally think this is a violation of rights.  However, as long as people are willing to put up with these overreaching searches, they will continue. 

So enough of the negative bits.  On to the sneaky bits.  The iFlask Smartphone flask will make sneaking 4-ounces of your favorite libation much easier.  Not enough booze for you?  Add a realistic looking digital camera flask that carries another 5-ounces of liquid.  Have fun and don’t drink and drive.
