The CopterBox is a disposable air-drop box, designed to safely drop cargo from a plane. Using parachutes is more expensive, and requires that you go back at some point to pick them up. With this system you can just throw a package out and forget about it. Unless it’s raining. Check out a video after the jump. Read more… »

By modifying a laser pen and using a detector you are able to play music over distances that could reach half a mile. To do this the laser needs to be modified by using amplitude modulation. This is then pointed at the sensor which picks up the changes, converts it in to a signal that can be used as music. As with anything with a laser in, be careful when you try anything and do not look at the laser as it could damage your eyes.
To build the device you need to gather together a few components such as a potentiometer, toggle switch and a phototransistor to name a few and then follow the instructions over at Instructables.

The Rocket Pen will give you something cool to do if you are bored in the office. The rocket pen is a device which sits on your desk and has a button on it which when pressed, will launch your pen a few feet in the air. I do not see any practical use to this apart from being a good laugh for a few minutes a day or for times when you need a little stress relief. Although it looks like a rocket, it actually is a working pen. It has a soft nose and rubber sides to prevent it getting damaged or damaging things, but I do recommend you do not aim it at anyone or anything.
