Portable Stepper!

max — Wed, 21 Oct 2009 22:59:40 +0000

Remember I got the manual treadmill couple months back? It’s been working great but I found a better solution for people living in small apartments, Portable Stepper!

This Portable Stepper not only save space, it allows you to step in “elliptical” motion. I might have to get this real soon.

This is the compact elliptical trainer that provides the same lower leg motion as full-sized elliptical trainers but is small enough to slip under a bed or stow in a closet. The non-slip footpads provide stable footing as you move your feet forward or backward, forcing you to engage your abdominal muscles to keep balance–typical elliptical machines do not engage your abdominal muscles because they have handholds to provide balance. Tension can be adjusted using the dial.

Here’s a rather cool device for all of you who need a shade and some protection from nasty insects. (if you live in a humid country)

The Swiss Gear 10×10 Dome Canopy with screen is perfect for setting up on your backyard porch/deck, keeping all those bugs away while the screen lets in fresh air you need.

Here’s a review by a customer:

Year after year ordering tent after tent. Finally, this one is fabulous! Easy to put up, sturdy, well made, sharp looking, and easy to move. Great detailed construction. Comes in a great zippered carry bag with pockets and wheels, similar to a golf travel bag. Zippers very good quality. Great fitting screens. Vertical walls give great room and coverage. The fabric is a very nice and much softer white than in the pictures. Frame is one big piece that unfolds like an accordian. 5 minutes max to put up. Much better than I expected. I put three together and now have 300 square feet of a new summer home. Could not be more pleased!

Also, don’t forget to get the matching wind-breaker for this for rain season.

I am actually in the process of moving to a new house soon, when I do, I will definitely get one of these in my backyard for backyard blogging.

In the meanwhile, I will have to keep dreaming about backyard blogging until I do get there.

Dyson Hack – How to Make a DIY Dyson Cyclonic Vacuum!

max — Wed, 14 Oct 2009 20:42:01 +0000

For those of you who want to build a Dyson vac-like vacuum with cyclonic vacuum feature, you might want to check out this DIY that shows you how to make a cyclonic vacuum. It ain’t anywhere like a Dyson but it may serve as a good alternative if you don’t need all the bells and whistles for paying couple hundred dollar on a high quality vacuum.

A cyclonic separator is used in workshops to keep larger cruft out of the dust collection system. The airflow inside a separator creates a vortex that flings heavier bits and particles to the periphery of the chamber, where they settle out the bottom, while relatively clean air escapes the vacuum port at the top. This makes for fewer filter changes and a more consistent pull from the vacuum.
