Friday Fun Gadget - Laser Star Showers Effect

Friday, July 6th, 2007

What could be better than a green laser coupled with holographic images? Nothing I tell you !

Imagine bringing the wonder and beauty of the night sky into your home. The Laser Stars projector will fill any dark space with a super sharp spectacle of animated stars and cloud formations.

It will even surprise you with the occasional shooting star.

They do stress that it’s not a toy, you don’t want little ones looking into the laser - and at $179.95 I figure you wouldn’t be buying one for a 4 year old anyway.

More of a grownup kids gadget - You can buy one here.

I”m gonna be putting my old green laser under my pillow in the hopes that the laser fairy will bring me one :-)

Actually this thing is supposed to purify the water to federal clean water drinkable standards. Could save you a fortune in chemicals. IT wont eliminate chlorine use -
Because some pool contaminants, like dust or suntan lotion, are not affected by mineral ions, you will still need to add a small amount of chlorine or other oxidizers to dissolve them. Otherwise, there is practically no maintenance other than cleaning the mineral electrode every couple of weeks with a jet of water from a garden hose nozzle.

No electricity is required to power this floating light globe. The solar panel inside the globe converts sunlight into electricity that is then stored in the integral rechargeable battery pack. The light switches on automatically when it gets dark and turns itself off when re-exposed to light or when the battery is fully discharged. The globe uses a white plastic housing so that the LED can easily shine through, glowing in every color in the spectrum.

The Solar-Powered Floating Light Globe can be inserted into your home or garden’s décor in a variety of ways. A pedestal is included for secure positioning inside your home on a windowsill. The included ground spike will plant securely in the ground for outdoor color in a garden or path light. You can even float the globe as an accent light in a koi pond.

Really cool! - On sale at $21.99
