"Hmm, the Impulse Labs cooktop got there first. I suppose there's room for both, given that some people want a full range with an oven, and some people want just a cooktop. The Impulse has the potentially interesting feature of setting the precise temp you want for each burner, instead H/M/L or several arbitrary steps."

"I have a smaller similar pump from a no-name brand, it works, but it's brutally loud, and gets pretty warm by the time it has pumped up a tube all the way. I would happily trade off a little weight for less noise (though of course this one could be heavier but not quieter...)"

"Yes, they're claiming 90% efficiency, so 10% more. And of course there's some wear and tear, so there will be maintenance costs also. It's a pretty good-seeming small-scale alternative to pumped hydro, easier to find sites for, since there are lots of hills."

"The 360 cam on top is an odd idea, though I guess if it provides enough to work with for editing a forward shot that will be useful, more than of the clouds, at least."

"Hmm, I didn't think Japanese outlets were polarized? The big/small blades in the image (or rendering) are flipped from the standard US arrangement, though. Overall I like the idea, but given that power cords can be pulled on pretty hard, I'd want to know more about how securely the modules are held in (I might have had an allen bolt secure them into the back of the box)."

""Parking break"... instead of brake, eh? When you just need to take a minute to park and collect yourself."

"Very nice, though it's interesting they didn't extend the pointed sections with the three benches a little farther under the span (maybe it doesn't rain / snow much in Albi)."

"It's interesting, but hard for me to get a sense of what the riding position would be like, it looks like you can't lean forward to use your back/glutes like you can on drop bars - and speaking of bars, the steering wheel is cute, but silly, no leverage, and you can't mount bells / lights / phone holders etc. as easily."

"It's great that they're shield-shaped for a Gundam tie-in, but asymmetrical umbrellas are actually far more practical than perfectly round ones. I had a Senz umbrella from Holland, which was excellent, similar shape (a bit more pointed teardrop), which let it turn itself to face into the wind (until I loaned to someone who lost it, sigh)."

"Good design doesn't come cheap apparently, $80 to carry 4 hex bits in your pocket feels steep."

"Probably true - presumably though, it's less that lots of kids would be hurt by a more powerful tool, but more that a single finger lopped off in the US means a lawsuit that could bankrupt a little tool company?"
