This probably isn't where Tesla intended for his research to end up but he'd probably be super excited to see these. While taming static electricy is somewhat trivial these days it still is equal parts relaxing and fascinating. Brando the makers of all manner of USB gear have blessed us with 2 desktop toys just right for the upcoming holiday -
USB Plasma Heart and
Plasma Star.
You can give one to your sweetie to show them you think they are really electrifying and they really give you charge. It's about the size of a fist the undulating light show follows your fingers when you touch it. It may not be an iPhone, but everyone's already got one of those, plus at $17 it won't break the bank. Order now, it could arrive just in time to show that special someone just how special they are. If you order it today you should still be able to get it delivered on time. Hint, Hint. Not that we really want you to get us anything.
