space laserJust occasionally a product comes along that simply blows us away. We get to see a lot of crazy and sometimes brilliant inventions, but Laser Cosmos is without a doubt the most superb one we've seen. There is no product out there that comes even close to the sheer excellence of this galactic wonder - sorry to sound quite so effusive, but really, it's staggering.Imagine lying in your room, and having the ceiling whipped away to reveal the vast outreaches of the cosmos whirling overhead, complete with misty blue nebulae (which you can turn on and off!) and the occasional shooting star. Fully adjustable and requiring no set up, this super powerful space projector scatters a random panoply of sparkling green stars that will fill any room from the tiniest bedroom to the largest warehouse with a crystal clear animated star display. What's so clever about this (apart from everything of course) is that it seems so three-dimensional, the varying brightness of different stars makes some seem close and others to come from distant galaxies.
Created from powerful green laser and holographic technology, a display this bright and clear has never been available before. It's utterly mesmerising, and had us transfixed for hours (literally). Whether you're zoning out to music, throwing a party or just chilling, this stunning cosmic light show is like nothing we've ever seen before. Truly one of the most amazing light shows you will see anywhere.Features
* Romantic, mesmerising star and cloud projector.* The Laser Cosmos will fill any room, no matter how big or small with a carpet of stars, blue clouds (optional), and even shooting stars.* The Laser Cosmos itself is shaped like a funky 3D star.* The Laser Cosmos can be pivoted to any angle.* A Laser Stars projector lens.* A cloud formation projector lens.* A cloud brightness control.* The projector is self-focussing.* For best results use in total darkness.* Use for no more than four hours at a time (the On/Off switch is helpful here).* Suitable for ages 8 years+.* Requires a mains adaptor (UK adaptor included).* Size: 29 x 25 x 20cm.
Never touch the lens or try to adjust it!
Star Finder Telescopes
Meade, the premium makers of telescopes, have surpassed themselves with this stunning range of automated scopes. They've brought the vastness of space within easy reach of the non-pro stargazer with a remarkably clever gizmo.
Each of these very slick looking telescopes comes with an Autostar controller. This works with the telescope to find stars for you! You simply type in where you are (ie London, Glasgow, Paris, Nether Wallop - whatever), what the time and date is, and the telescope then knows where you are, and what stars, constellations, planets, comets - you name it - are visible to you. Pick your planet, star etc, and the on-board computer kicks in and the telescope whirs away to point at whatever you asked for! Not only that, but it will also tell you how far away it is, how big it is, the atmospheric conditions, and population (well, perhaps not). Not only does it find your celestial favourites, but it locks onto them and tracks them, so you don't have to keep moving the scope.
If you're not sure what you want to look at, it will take you on a tour of the night sky as it knows what is best viewed for your time, date and location. The three scopes have different powers and tech specs all of which are below, but the joy of these scopes is that despite being very high-end, you don't actually need to know how the things work to have a fantastic star-gazing time. They quite literally open up a new world to you.
X UFO toy, RC toy
The X-UFO is out there (much like the truth) in a deeply wacky and immensely fun way. Hot off the press from the States, this ground-breaking remote controlled UFO is the latest crazy flying thing around. With full three-dimensional control, the innovative X-UFO incorporates the latest miniature technology, utilising four powerful electric motors, with two pairs of contra-rotating propellers and an electronic gyroscope, for incredible stability.
The X-UFO features four channel proportional radio control, with a range of up to 100 metres, and includes individual trims to finely balance each function for optimum performance. It has a lightweight carbon fibre frame with extremely durable poly foam ring body, and a high capacity flight battery which will give you about five minutes' flight time, and will recharge in 25 minutes using the supplied UK mains charger, or the convenient portable car charger. You can fly it both inside and out (under calm conditions), and it incorporates one red and three blue flashing LED lights, that not only assist orientation and indicate when the gyro is up to speed, but also make it look just like a real UFO when flown in the dark!
It's immense fun, and the perfect flying gizmo to really scare the wits out of your neighbours.Features
* High-impact durable construction* Four propeller flat design* Unique gyroscope module for flight stability* Mains and in-car charger* Powerful NiMH rechargeable battery* 3 hour recharge time (with a 25 minute quick charge function)* 4-5 minute flight time* Suitable for indoor and outdoor use* Flying distance of up to 100 metres* Proportional speed control* Clockwise and anti-clockwise propeller rotation for balanced flight* Comprehensive instructions and flight guidance (please read thoroughly!)* Hovering ability* Three blue flashing LED lights and one red, to assist orientation and show when the gyro is up to speed* Requires 4 x AA batteries (not included)* Buddy box facility will enable an experienced pilot to assist a new pilot via provided link cord Contents:
* X-UFO* 12V NiMH battery* 4 x spare propellers/fixings* Remote control - 27MHz* Power charger* Automobile adaptor* AC adaptor* Transmitter link cord* Size: 59 x 59 x 10cm* Suitable for children 14+
Vectron UFO - a remote control saucer.
Our favourite find of this year! The wireless radio controlled saucer can fly 10m high and is controlled by a sensitive 'Variable thrust transmitter' allowing the pilot to precisely command lift off and hover flight. The Charging Launch Platform charges the Vectron in minutes for 10 minutes of flight. Safety 'auto-stop' is activated if anything gets in the way of the propeller blades. Supplied with mains adaptor, requires 2 AA batteries, not supplied. Age 10 and above.
Simkey Simcard Backup
Yet another great idea to protect us from our dependence on the electronic world. Losing your mobile, or worse - having it swiped, is annoying enough, but losing all your contacts can be downright catastrophic. This neat gadget is a wonderfully easy to use back-up system for your SIM card. It will back up all your phone numbers from your card (simply stick it in the slot on the back) and once in the micro PDA you can add phone numbers that will of course automatically transfer to your phone when you replace the card.
The PDA (complete with mini pen) can hold up to three SIM card directories, has local and world time, a scheduler, a memo function, a 12 digit calculator, a currency converter (so we can get to grips with Euros, no doubt) and a daily alarm. All those functions are frankly just the icing on the cake - the greatest joy is the peace of mind knowing that your telephone numbers are safe, because entering them normally (if indeed you have them written down anywhere anyhow) is a right royal pain in the neck.
The Mini PDA and SIM back-up system - an end to neck pain, if you see what we mean.Features * SIM Card data transfer* Backs up from your SIM card to PDA and visa versa* 3 SIM card directories* Local and world time 42 cities* Business and Personal phone book* Scheduler & Memo* 12 digit calculator* Metric and currency converter* Daily alarm* Password lock* Available in seven languages (English, French, Spanish, German, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese)* Has a key ring and touch-pad pen attached.* 2 x CR2025 batteries included* 7 x 4 x 1.5cm* WARNING: This product is not waterproof - do not use it or store it near fluids. Fluids will cause the databank to malfunction* This product is compatible with most GSM and 3G simcards except for the operator '3'.
Projector Keyboard
No words can adequately describe quite how breathtakingly cool this i.Tech Virtual Keyboard is. Bluetooth enabled, it uses infrared to project a clear and crisp keyboard onto your desktop, and then transfers your keystrokes via wireless networking to your PDA, Pocket PC or smart phone - it sounds far too futuristic to be true. But it's very much for real, and it's awesome.
This 22nd Century gadget is about half the size of your average deck of cards, sits wirelessly on any flat surface, and projects a red standard QWERTY-layout keyboard on any flat opaque surface. Using detection technology it "watches" your fingers hit the key locations it has projected, and then sends the keystrokes through to your PDA, smart phone or pocket PC via Bluetooth. The projected keyboard is highly visible even in strong light (though it does of course look spectacularly cool in the dark). It's highly portable as well, though it will make you look a bit of a lunatic at the local, as you will look like you're typing on nothing more than the pub table (which also raises some serious health and safety concerns), and you will of course be interrupted every fourteen seconds with someone coming over and wanting to know where they can get one.
There is no cooler keyboard in the known universe.
