Newton's Cradle Gets An Upgrade




If you grew up in the 80s or was a business executive during that time, then you probably remember playing with a device that had steel ball bearings suspended from thin wires (otherwise known as a Newton's Cradle). They were fun to play with, and were great when you were really, really bored. The only problem is that because the color remained the same, this executive toy could become boring as well. But now there is a variation on this "blast from the past" with the Kinetic Light Newton's Cradle



On this variation, the balls actually light up, and change color as they transfer energy from one ball to the other. The basic premise of this device is that as one ball hits a ball at the far end, its energy is transferred all through the other balls until it reaches the ball at the other end. In theory, if you didn't have such a thing as friction, and air resistance, the balls would continue to hit each other indefinitely (essentially a perpetual motion device).



With the Kinetic Light Newton's Cradle, you can watch as the balls change color while striking each other. This is MUCH more fun than the original, and will keep you much more entertained.

FreeLoader Solar Battery Charger

I know there have been times when I've been playing on my PSP or listening to music on my iPod, and the battery dies. If you're near an electrical outlet, this isn't to bad of a situation, but there are other times when I can't get to an electrical outlet when my battery died (there's a restaurant in Dallas called Loft 610. Great place to eat, but they have virtually no outlets). That's where the FreeLoader comes in. The best way to describe this device is that it's a compilation of mini solar cells, is very portable, can easily be charged up, and holds onto the power it has obtained for up to three months (pretty cool, huh?). After you get it charged up you can then use it to charge up your electronic devices and gadgets such as your MP3 player, iPod, PSP, and so forth. This device of convenience is just barely bigger than a cell phone and is made of aluminium (the lightweight variety). Plus, the FreeLoader can be pulled open to uncover not one, but

MrBeast Burger - My Experience

  *** DISCLAIMER: At the time of this writing, I did not work for MrBeast or any of his affiliates. Also, I used my own money to pay for the meal mentioned and reviewed in this writing. If you have ever scoured the Internet looking for entertaining videos besides the latest cute cat video... You have, undoubtedly, come across a video by MrBeast . MrBeast is a very well known Youtuber with millions of subscribers stretching across several channels. In his videos, MrBeast, along with friends Karl, Chris, and Chandler can be seen doing crazy stunts and giving away large sums of money to people of various walks of life. Recently, MrBeast decided to create MrBeast Burger - a virtual restaurant brand where people can use a branded mobile app or website to order fast food items delivered to their door ( in some areas, you can actually pick up the items yourself, but at the time of this writing, that option was not available in the DFW area ). \ I really do admire all of th
