Shake it and the plankton light up

Bioluminescent plankton orb

Living PyroDinos suspended in seawater inside a glass ball. Shake it after dark and they flash blue, because reacting badly to being disturbed is the one thing they do. No batteries. They do need daylight and the feeding packets in the box, roughly every two weeks. It's a pet, and it's several million animals.

A speaker where the bass is visible

A small Bluetooth speaker with a sealed vial of ferrofluid in front, and an electromagnet that makes the black liquid jump and spike in time with the music. Four colors of backlight. The sound is a single 5-watt driver, so this is a visual product first. Nobody's buying it for the audio.

Touch the glass, catch the lightning

Touch the glass, catch the lightning

An eight-inch glass globe with a gas mix inside and an electrode in the middle, so purple streamers reach out from the center and follow your fingertips on the glass. It reacts to sound too, and it's plug-in, not battery. The same object that's been in science museums since the eighties, now on a nightstand.

A cow, mid-abduction, on your desk
in stock

A cow, mid-abduction, on your desk

A saucer hovers over a small cow and a beam of light lifts it, built from reflective film and LEDs so the beam looks solid from across the room. Touch the base to change color, and the tint shifts depending on where you're standing. It's a lamp, and it's also an abduction in progress.

A lamp you assemble like blocks
in stock

A lamp you assemble like blocks

Seven clear blocks, each with its own LED, that clip onto each other in any order. Only the arrangement decides the shape, so it's a different lamp every time somebody gets bored. Touch it to switch between seven colors. It's a night light that a kid can rebuild, and a desk lamp for an adult who never stopped.

The hoverboard, full size, still grounded

A one to one replica of the board from the second Back to the Future movie, 28 inches long, with a strap for hanging it on a wall. It doesn't hover and the listing says so plainly. What it does settle is the argument about scale. The prop turns out smaller than memory insists.

The bulb floats, and it's on

An LED bulb hovers a half inch above a wooden base, held there by magnets, and lights up through the gap by induction. No wire runs to the bulb. Nudge it and it spins slowly. When the power cuts, the base catches it instead of letting it fall. It's a lamp that makes people ask how.
