And save a bundle. The "Kill-A-Watt" plugs into a wall outlet and accepts the power line for any devices or appliances that draw up to 1875 watts. Identifies energy eaters, tracks efficiency and costs over time, and checks on your electricity provider by monitoring voltage, current (amps), watts, kilowatt hours, frequency (Hz), volt amps, power factor, and elapsed time. Measures 5-1/8" x 2-3/8" x 1-7/16" with a 1-3/4" x 11/16" LCD screen. You may never use a waffle iron again.

High tech comes to Am Sci & Surp!! It is here in the form of a Peltier junction, a thermo-electric device that translates electric power into heat, and perversely, into cool. Apply current @ 3-12 VDC to the gizmo and it extracts thermal energy from one face, thereby cooling it. The heat is dumped onto the other face, thereby heating it. Please note: you must use a heat sink on the hot side or the junction will fry itself, since it can quickly create a 65° C temperature differential in a no load situation. Stack two, or build a cascade to increase the thermal differential created. Or run it backwards. Apply heat or cold to the relevant face and produce a current. Amazing for science projects and experiments. Practical for coffee warmers, beer coolers and mini-refrigerator or warming oven applications. Comes with instructions. Large is 1-9/16" sq. x 3/16" thick.

Here's a cost-effective tester that lets you determine the electromagnetic field around power lines, appliances, computer and communication equipment and industrial devices. The hand-held instrument measures EMF radiation from 30 to 300 Hz. Single axis. The range is 0.1-199.9 mG and 0.01-19.99 uT, with an accuracy of +/- 4%. The 5" x 2-3/4" x 1" plastic case has a 1-3/4" x 3/4" LCD display and a switch to toggle between micro Tesla and milli Gauss. It's quick, easy and reliable, and when you see the EMF around your old monitor, it will give you one more reason to buy the new one you want!

The Velleman HPS10 Personal Scope isn't some graphical multimeter -- it's the complete, portable, affordable oscilloscope you've been waiting for! The 10MHz oscilloscope has an analog bandwidth of up to 2mhz. It has 5mV to 20V/div sensitivity in 12 steps, and a 200ns to 1 hour/div time base in 32 steps, full automatic setup, and 5 different trigger modes. It measures dBm, dBV, DC and rms, has signal markers for Volt and Time, and 2 memories to store signals. It has an X and Y position shift signal, DVM readout with x10 option, and audio power calculation (rms and peak). Easy to use and, with a high-contrast LCD display (128 x 64 pixels), easy to read. Accurate enough for professional use on automotive and audio equipment, digital signals and various types of sensors, but priced low enough for educational and hobby applications. Requires (5) "AA" batteries or a 9V adapter (not included).
