When you are out for a long drive and suddenly crave a cheese toasted sandwich then this one built for a car could come to the rescue. It plugs in to your lighter socket on your car and can create some seriously nice sandwiches anywhere you are parked. Although its a real bizarre idea, I could actually see a good use when you are parked up somewhere on a long day out in the cold and you just want something warm to keep you going.

The sandwich maker for your car will cost you $18 in the sale over at skingcompany.

The KeyBuoy is ideal for those either involved in water sports, or who are prone to dropping keys down the drain. The KeyBuoy is a self inflating key chain which when it comes in to contact with water it inflates a bright orange buoy to keep your keys near the surface of the water and visible for about 40 minutes. It is only good for use once, but does only cost $6.99 which isnt a bad price at all. I personally would buy two for my self so I could test one and use the other correctly.

The inflatable JetSki is due to launch this month. The whole jetski weighs just 30kg and is inflatable. It has a built in battery powered 600W motor and is capable of gaining speeds of about 6mph. Hopefully this means you can pack your jetski in the back of your car along side the rest of the luggage. I am not convinced that a 600 Watt motor and an inflatable jetski should be mixed in the same package, but it does look like good fun.

This toilet roll holder will certainly get a few laughs and peoples attention. It comes pre recorded with a number of phrases which when used comments like “Remember to flush and wash your hands”. It fits all normal toilet rolls and works with holders which secure the bar at both ends of it.

The talking toilet roll holder is available from bimbambanana and costs $45 when in stock.

The NukAlert is a keychain device which you can carry 24/7. It is designed to work as a personal radiation meter, monitor and alarm. When radiation is near by, the NukAlarm will warn you of the danger. When the danger is near an audible tone can be heard similar to a Geiger counter.

Nordost have created some interconnect cables that are bound to break the average persons bank account. Costing just short of 10,000 GBP for a 1m pair of RCA or XLR they are supposed to be the worlds finest cables.

The conductors used in the ODIN are made from 99.99999% oxygen free copper with an extruded silver surface of 85 microns. During manufacture, the surface of each conductor is highly polished and ultrasonically cleaned. A precision Dual Mono-Filiment conductor is then helically wrapped around the conductor. The Dual Mono-Filiment consists of two thin Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) treads (or filiments) which are wound around each other to provide minimum surface contact to the conductor. In this configuration the two filiments present a minimal contact point to the conductor while maintaining superb mechanical stability and preventing conductor oxidisation. A precise FEP tube is then extruded over this assembly. The Dual Mono-Filiment design reduces te dielectric contact with the conductor by more than 85%. The cable has an affective dielectric constant of 1.10, which is incredibly low. The reduction of insulation contact by more than 85% means that the current and voltage travelling above the surface of the conductor are virtually unimpeded by the insulation and that signals are transfered more efficiently and at extremely high speeds. This extreme precision of manufacturing maintains the electrical and mechanical stability of the cables even when twisted or bent.
