Much more fun than a microscope, the EyeClops transforms any television into an interactive TV toy. With the EyeClops, the ordinary becomes extraordinary. Magnified to 200 times the normal size and viewed on any TV screen, minuscule salt crystals morph into blocks of ice; hair and carpet turn into giant noodles; and small insects become fearsome creatures. The Bionic Eye has three built-in LED lights so kids can illuminate any object, including their own skin.

Kids love using the TV along with this educational device to share a new activity with their friends. Parents too can join in the fun and will love how their children learn and play. So you don’t have to touch everything you look at, the toy comes with an observation dish and tube, perfect for viewing liquids, salt, and bugs. The battery-powered device is simple to use, plugging directly into the A/V jacks found on any current TV model.

The light-up function starts at 6 PM and goes up to 1 AM every 12 minutes; it is also activated when the time button is pressed between 1 AM to 6 PM. It might sound like a tricky way to tell time, but once you get the hang of it, you’ll be the envy of all your friends. The Barcode SS measures 2.8 centimeters across, 5.7 centimeters long, and 1.3 centimeters thick, and features a band made of solid stainless steel straps (maximum wrist size 21.5 cm) with a push-button, fold-over clasp.

130mph. 13,500 RPM. 0-60mph in about four seconds. Meet the Tesla Roadster, the car that hopes to elevate the image of the plug-in electic car. Tesla is a Silicon Valley based company and has looked to UK based Lotus for help with the design and production of the vehicle. In a quick 3.5 hour charge, the Roadster will take you about 250 miles, which is farther than most sports cars will take you on a tank of gas.

The Roadster will be going for $100,000 and you need to send in a $5,000 waiting list down payment. The company plans on coming out witha plug-in electric sedan for about half the price of the Roadster, but this may be a couple years out. According to the company, it should only cost approximately $.01/mile in energy costs which is certainly cheaper and friendlier to the environment than conventional sports cars. Look for the Tesla Roadster to hit the US sometime early this year.
