this is phone slavers founder of kabocha outdoor carts and gear iboga is a small dutch company big ideas a friend who loves the great outdoors came to funds one day and said I want to travel light but I simply need my gear wherever I go please think of something dude cell phones had a look at existing cards they're way too heavy they're way too big way too clumsy they lack proper steering they're heavy to tow they don't really fit in the car you can't detach into a bike and you can't fold them up and hang them on a wall fans met with a prototype builder and expert installers for a cup of tea and said to him do you think we can create a versatile outdoor utility card a heavy-duty but lightweight and foldable wagon that maneuvers easily it looks cool too sure thing when you design it I will build it which turned out to be the beginning of the company phones got himself a workspace and canceled his social life he decided to start from zero he made sketches more sketches and even more sketches they build models and full-scale prototypes tested them improve them got feedback improve them even more eventually they obtained all the essential patents then he began looking for partners and suppliers they flew to Taiwan teamed up with a local design team in outdoor gear and connected to supplies from the bicycle industry and finally manufactured a sample batch of key boga cards back home he started the online shop and now kabocha is ready for business with the kabocha phones has developed an amazing product whether you go sailing fishing camping picnicking or even kite surfing this utility card really does make life easier and more fun in an urban setting to the kabocha is the ideal companion you'll set it up in seconds dismounted parts can easily be attached elsewhere on the kabocha card keeping everything together as one package it only weighs 12 and a half kilos the kabocha is built to last it has a capacity of 35 liters and a payload of 50 kilos it has been economically designed which means that you need very little energy to keep it moving no matter what surface rock mud sand you can leave the key bulk outside as it is waterproof it's easy to store it's easy to transport and of course there are extras the unique bike adapter for example and don't you agree that looks awesome sounds like he's got it made no well yes I know Fonz wants to go to the next level mass production it's his aim to produce in large quantities so he can buy materials at a lower price and invest in production tools and manufacturing at the same time he plans to widen his distribution to make sure that everybody who wants a kabocha can actually get one to realize this goal he needs your help please support this project and share it among your friends and peers with your backing the kabocha will be on the roll in no time what if you could capture the energy of the Sun and store it in a simple box the Sun box is a simple box that captures the energy of the Sun via the solar panel on the front of the box on the back of the box there's an AC receptacle that you can plug in your favorite devices like a band for Christmas lights I'm Seth Meyer and I've been designing and building solar power systems and devices throughout my career the inspiration for the Sun box was to simplify the implementation of solar to make it easy for anyone to use having seen the complexity of existing options I knew there was a better way traditional solar power systems require an electrical engineer to a design electrician to install and there are many parts and pieces to the system it normally requires a permit from the city a net metering agreement with the utility company and at least two months for the whole process of getting solar even after all of that work it is in the end dependent on the grid a traditional solar power system will not work when the grid is down even during the day when the sun is shining the Sun box is grid free it stays on day and night the Sun box is a complete self-contained solar power generator in a box it captures solar energy and stores it comes with everything you need a solar panel batteries charge controller inverter and it has a AC receptacle on the back to plug in the devices that you want to run the Sun box is modular it allows multiple boxes to be connected together if your power needs increase in the future all you need to do is just add another box the Sun box is completely portable you can take it with you unlike a grid tied system a box or two can be removed from your house and repurposed to serve your cabin or any other application you have some box has Wi-Fi in it so that we can measure power consumption battery charge and solar production you can see all the individual usage information on your sub box at Sun box com or from your mobile phone one of the things that I love most about the Sun box is that unlike a traditional solar array where you need to spend between twenty to fifty thousand dollars to power your home you can get started with just one Sun box for under a thousand dollars the Sun box qualifies for the federal 30% tax credit you may also qualify for state incentives check the desire website to find out after two years of development and over eight stages of prototyping the Sun box is now ready you hey everyone my name is Ashley long I am a photographer videographer I have a production company and I recently started up a travel vlog I had two problems that I'm sure many of you are very familiar with the first is that my computer never had enough storage in a second my computer was way too slow so like most people I assumed that getting a new computer would fix pace but it didn't my editor and I went out and bought the fastest laptops on the market and they were still too slow so it turns out almost every computer is limited by its hard drive speed so we research what the pros are doing and almost all you need something called a radar in the problem is it's way too big it costs thousands of dollars your media isn't safe and it's still too slow that's when we realized that we had to create our own solution this is a blender drive it's the smallest fastest most compatible drive we could imagine it runs at 570 Meg's per second which maxes out your USB cord that means this little drive is as fast as all five of these combines to make your computer faster you Leonard drive a hand with your aisles over and this isn't just for old computers these are two of the fastest laptops on the market and they're able to play several 4k videos at once with the Thunder Drive this one is now 2 times faster so if you want even more speed the Thunder Drive 2/4 and works with Thunderbolt 3 in USB most computers don't have enough storage the standard drive can give you up to a thousand gigabytes of additional storage and because it's not as spinning this your files will be much safer I can't imagine having to run our photo and video businesses without these they pay for themselves on a weekly basis they've made us more creative and now we're delivering work right after starting it instead of right before it's due you greetings folks i'm fred Markin and I have a small organic farm and I have a rather large garden that I use the gas powered tiller in and one day I'm looking at this thing and I'm saying I only want one of those tillers so I started playing around with the concept of developing a small lightweight tiller and this is where it was created in a barn this replaces the garden hoe and there are so many different garden hose out there and it's something that when you're in the house you say well I'm going to go out to the garden and hoe you just kind of like I don't think I want to do that but when you have the royal wieder you want to do it because it's so easy what I really am impressed with the royal leader is that it's only 3 pounds 2 ounces rechargeable battery 30 minutes it only takes less than an hour to charge it totally so one of our objectives here was number one to keep it light because this is for a lot of master gardeners and seniors and then also the other thing is that there's a lot of electric devices in the hardware store they have cords to it so it really doesn't allow your movement very much especially for your gardens out in the back there so so we worked on getting a very strong battery and we have a very strong motor this thing is 10 amps it grinds through just about anything was very surprising to me how strong it was if it's a lightweight tiller it's very strong and it impressed me with even digging and very hard soil it's not something I recommend all the time usually you want to tell you so and then this gets the little weeds out and getting once they get big you know what it's like to having to pull those things out really like about this is blending and fertilizer and compost because you can just throw the fertilizer on the plant but it's nice to get it in the soil so the water gets down into it and sinks into the roots so delightful - our goal is to get these in the hands of every gardener out there because it's such a useful tool and I think it's going to be very well received you you
