AquaPod Bottle Launcher
As kids we use to launch bottles with some pretty sketchy homemade PVC pipe systems. While the homemade systems worked, I was always amazed we never got injured. If I wanted my kids to play with something similar I would buy the AquaPod Bottle Launcher. Not because I am lazy… but because it is engineered […]

This is a pretty clever product, the Greenivative GMAG ($27.50), that will charge 6 AA batteries at a time by adding saltwater.

GREENIVATIVE […]
Commute-Case By Green Energy Motors
I have always been a fan of electric scooters and skateboards. I really like the instant torque and almost silent ride.
