I used to love biking as a kid but as a kid you have lots of energy you're eating a lot of sugar as you get older people tend to ride their bikes less and less often one of the reasons being that they have to go to work they have to do things where they don't want to be arriving to their destination sweaty with electric bikes you not only have the advantage of being able to arrive to your destination in a more composed manner but you're also able to extend the range of where you want to travel so instead of maybe having to take your vehicle somewhere now you can easily take your electric bike there my name is Oscar stark I'm an engineer and I've been working with in the renewable energy field for the last several years once the inception of electric bikes came around I got really interested in having electric bike myself one of the things that was holding me back from owning one was the fact that they were so expensive so I started investigating why do they cost thousands of dollars and we actually couldn't find anything that made electric bikes really expensive except for the battery packs that were available at the time this is why we came upon to build an electric bike for the masses that was affordable and with my team we were able to find a factory that was willing to produce these electric bikes for us at a price that was almost unbelievable one of the things that I've noticed in the electric bike market is these bikes look really electric they have these big ugly batteries attached to them we wanted to make it look like a normal bicycle plus we wanted to have an electric bike where you are able to secure it in such a way that it would be impossible for someone to steal your electric bike what we've done here with the electric bike is you have your options you can either go with the throttle meaning that you don't have to pedal whatsoever and you can get to your destination without having to worry about being sweaty or being warm but if you're looking to exercise you can adjust the assist mode that comes with the bicycle so the lowest one providing you very little assist that you can still get a bit of a workout and with the highest one you're almost making no effort as long as you're peddling another thing that we discovered is by the time that you do get an electric bike to your door that electric bike has actually gone through several different middlemen so something that you know might have costs 20 or 30 dollars for example ends up costing you 200 or 300 dollars when it gets to your door our goal with this campaign is to really launch electric bikes into the mainstream so that anyone that was interested in getting electric bike really the cost should no longer be a factor for them it's the same thing with the cell phone revolution anyone with a flip phone nowadays they would have that more as a retro fashion accessory everyone else has a smartphone and if you don't have a smartphone the question is why this is the same kind of thing that we're looking to achieve with our Stark Drive electric bikes everyone should have an electric bike and if you don't have an electric bike that's fine you want to be retro and you want to live in the past that's really cool but ultimately you're probably going to have that retro bike for the weekends and then when you're out going to work you're going to be using an electric bike every year over one hundred sixty four thousand people visit the emergency room due to a fall from the ladder of these 164 thousand injuries over 300 of them resulted in fatality my name is Joe and I'm the inventor of the ladder anchor the ladder anchor is a simple durable life-saving solution to serious health hazard I found that ladder injuries occurred due to two primary ladder failures either the ladder slips out from underneath the user or the ladder tips to the side these failures can be attributed to ladders having two small shoes that barely extend to be on the ladder rails this results in ladders that can easily slip out or tip sideways during use the ladder anchor was designed to solve both of these failure methods by using the oversized base which extends beyond the ladder and by using ladder anchor your ladders contact area is increased by 12 times this means that the force that makes a ladder slip out underneath.you is reduced to 1/12 of what it was before the ladder anchor also extends beyond the laterals so that for a user to tip the ladder over to the side requires 30% more torque my team and I have worked to validate these claims through numerical calculations computer simulations and physical testing we also plan to have ladder anchors tested by a third-party laboratory which will validate our findings and provide you with the safest product possible the ladder anchor is designed to be easy to install by simply sliding in the metal retaining straps placing your ladder anchor on your ladder and tightening the bolts the ladder anchor is also multi surfaced if your on concrete wood linoleum or any solid surface use the non-slip pad if you're in mud grass or dirt simply pull the retaining pin and flip the base over onto the spike cleat side for traction on soft surfaces the ladder anchor is especially useful for when climbing with a partner no longer do you have to have a partner brace a liner for you utilizing our domestic manufacturing partner we will deliver a high quality product and we'll meet our stringent quality control requirements being a safety product we will accept nothing less than the best of materials assemblers and final quality it is signed to make every ladder safer with your help we can complete the production joy may back to the initial production run and lab tests the ladder anchor to validate its performance we believe that everyone deserves to be safe in the climbing ladder we hope to have your support and bring its market thank you amanda is a maker a practitioner of tech wizardry and DIY magic and this maker just got a new magic wand this is the new optimist the optimist is a modular three-in-one machine that includes a 3d printer a laser and CNC mill it assembles into two configurations and creates finished products this machine can make anything except waffles so we designed the Optimus for people like Amanda she's full cool ideas and wants to create something new the way that it's been though if you wanted to start making you'd have to strike a deal with the devil to finance a lot of machines and a huge space to use them and unless you're Tony Stark this situation is about as convenient as a harpoon to the face not convenient at all so we changed that and created one flexible machine with three essential tools that fits on your desktop this machine was forged in our small team of makers engineers and designers and we're driven by this idea that making could be more fun easy and just a better experience overall so with that thinking we made the Optimus simple to operate and maintain and along with this machine we've created an app to control it and also a simplified 3d design program so a man that could start making fast while it's easy to use this machine was built for professionals who require top grade tools this is what we're all about and with quality in mind we built the Optimus with all metal parts this ensures that it's going to be reliable sturdy and that it can bring your ideas to life year after year the modular design enables the whole rig to quickly transform back and forth in just a few minutes and the modular design means it's easy to manufacture and transport and because you don't need to buy three separate machines you'll save money then maybe you can buy that waffle maker too we know firsthand about the excitement of holding your own designs so while others may not get while you make tinkerer cosplay we do and we want to help you make more stuff now you can bring the optimist into full production we have successfully built and tested 20 machines now the optimist is ready back us and get your own three-in-one makers dream machine or check out rewards made with the Optimus is this you sleeping not really sleeping tossing and turning watching TV to go to bed ever notice how really late night TV commercials make you feel like your life's falling apart yeah why is that because it is you are falling apart and by the time you actually fall asleep and realize this is all a terrible dream it's time to wake up and start another tired exhausting day it's time to get to sleep you deserve it
