Crane Crank It Up Calamity Kit!

It’s one thing to have an emergency kit that requires batteries and it’s another whole level if you got one that can be cranked for power.  The Crane Calamity Kit comes with a crank radio, crank flashlight, and crank indigo lantern so you can feel safe in emergencies.  We agree that every emergency kit should at least come with an option to crank power nowdays.

After many “dinner in the dark” experiences, C. Crane has the perfect solution for a power failure or other natural disaster that leaves you in the dark – the Calamity Kit! The three-piece kit includes our Indigo Lantern, Sherpa Flashlight, and EyeMax Weather Radio, and this kit is well suited for making dinner for the family and staying informed of any new weather events or other news in your area.

Zinc power goes commercial

Posted in Batteries, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets by david on the January 13th, 2008 at 11:00 am

This CellPac power pack will give the user as much power as 40 AA batteries could provide, which if you wanted it in another way, this is enough power to fully charge up a cell phone ten times.

This power pack will is compact too, it will fit easily into a pocket and of course can be used anywhere that you would want to, as the CellPac could be used in emergencies where power has been interrupted.

There are no prices yet, but when this one hits the store it will be a great hit.

Let there be light

Posted in Business, Circuits, Consumer, Cool, Funny, Gadgets by david on the September 20th, 2007 at 2:00 pm

Now this is a really neat little idea that could put some light on the subject! This torch is merely a nine volt battery with the business end of a torch fixed onto to it, this is one of those things that everyone could have made, but never got around to it.

Nine volt lights

These are handy to place in cupboards and drawers for emergencies as they do not take up much room. The torch bit has the light and a handy switch for turning it off; there are some devices that do not have this feature, so it is quite a neat idea.

Cost id expected to be around $10, not sure if battery included or not!

Powerful LED light for the car

Posted in Auto, Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Motor by david on the June 19th, 2007 at 10:00 am

Now not many people smoke these days, yet we still have cigarette lighters in the cars, so clearly we need something useful to replace the lighter.

Luckily there is this powerful LED light that is placed into the cigarette lighter housing, where it charges up, now you have a great portable light to use in emergencies, or for just reading maps or directions, what could be simpler.

Some car owners are already using these devices as they are already installed in some up market cars like BMW.

This one will cost around $20.
