Worried about your appliances during storms? Our small, three-prong plug-in transient surge protector 1-1/2" x 1-1/4" x 1" (with no female end) plugs into a single outlet, whether on an outlet strip or an outlet receptacle. It turns the entire receptacle into a surge protector, and protects your wiring from high-voltage spikes. It works by directing the surge through itself and away from your valuables. It has an indicator LED and is fuse protected but, again, has no outlets on it. A very handy item. UL listed.

Our little electronic voice-modulating kit is perfect for wolves imitating grandmothers as well as for robotic voices, party tricks, karaoke enhancement, or hiding from your mother when she calls. Medium level electronics knowledge and some soldering required (solder not included). Has a module with high, low, robot and vibrato modes, which means you too can sound like Whitney Houston, sort of. Includes an electronic microphone. You add a 9V battery and a small 4-ohm speaker (although it can be wired to use a line-out). Draws 300mA at 9VDC and is based on an HT8950 chip.

We just wish there was something, anything, to do around here that required this thing, on account of it's so cool. Our newest Helping Hand has a pair of alligator clips on swiveling arms, likewise a 2-1/4" dia x 1.5X magnifier plus an LED flashlight on a gooseneck. Everything swivels every way there is and tightens with little thumbscrews-and some of the configurations look like it's maybe alive, and from Venus. Jewelry makers? Diamond cutters? Forensic scientists? Maybe we'll start making small electronics, or tying flies.

WARNING: CHOKING HAZARD-Small Parts. Not for children under 3 yrs.
Harness the power of the wind, lemons, potatoes or mud. The Windmill Generator has a generator and propeller with (6) 5-3/8” wide blades and a tail. Minimal assembly is required to mount them on a large soda bottle (easier than building a tower, but you could do that, too) and watch the wind light up the LEDs. The Enviro-Battery Kit has copper and zinc plates, cups, an LED monitor on a little tower, sound module, LCD clock plus wire and tape. You perform (6) different battery experiments, plus many more suggested in the included book, and yes, a mud battery is among them.

Cleverly made, and mighty heuristic, too. For someone entranced by hydraulics, or for a whole classroom of students, there’s the Pathfinders 4-In-1 kit, with the excavator, scissors lift, a cherry picker and the platform lifter. Fun and educational kits made up of unfinished wood, transparent tubing, and plastic syringes, which power the movement. As you might expect they range in size, but the bases are all approx. 3-1/2" x 8". Very clever teaching tools for ages 8 and up.
