By contributing one light to Puerto Rico you are helping a whole family. Right now less than 50% of the island has power. During our recent visit we went into the hills just 15 minutes outside of San Juan and no houses had power. Many of the elderly living alone have been locked in with no light when the sun goes down. Through our partnerships with The Clinton Foundation, Mayor Yulin Cruz, Third Wave Volunteers, Solar4PR and Operation Blessings, Studio Unite has provided over 14,000 lights to Puerto Rico. Our goal is to send another 10,000 lights now and another 10,000 and then another for as long as it takes to light up Puerto Rico. Take a look at original video of Mayor Yulin Cruz and Clinton with inventor Alice Chun of Solight Design. Right now there are 1.5 million people still living in the dark! The power grid will not be fixed for at least 6 months and for some people it will take closer to a full year until they have electricity and light (if they're lucky). One light from you can make a big difference to an entire family. Get a tax deduction for giving SolarPuffs(™)! Studio Unite is a 501.c.3 and when you buy a perk with the GIVE option, you will automatically get a receipt that says this is a GIFT for families in need in Puerto Rico. Many of the people in Puerto Rico are our families and friends who have been through some of the worst traumas of their lives losing everything they own. A little light gives them hope. As Mayor Yulin Cruz of San Juan called the SolarPuffs(™);”They are not just a cube of light but a cube of hope”. Help us light up their world. AND YOUR WORLD!!! "Buy one , Give One" covers the cost of one light for you and one light that will be sent to Studio Unite, a 501.c.3, non profit organization and will be distributed by our charitable partners in Puerto Rico to families that have no light or Power RIGHT NOW!

Install Legion Solar virtually anywhere. Legion Solar is designed for anybody with any skill level to setup. It's that simple! Legion Solar works with your existing rate program to simply drive your consumption down. The result is simply a lowered electric bill. You're also less likely to get charged the higher rates because you're less likely to enter into the higher priced tiers. We created SolarRegulator™, an artificial intelligence computer to contain generated energy behind your meter where the utility company does not own. Energy production of each Micro-Inverter is controlled so that energy production is less than or equal to energy consumption allowing you to generate your own electricity unrestricted. Utility company only sees less consumption from you, not a grid tied solar system. As a result, it is not necessary to seek interconnection permission pertaining to utility company approved grid-tied solar systems. We took all the short comings of traditional solar systems and designed a game changing new solution to outperform. As you become familiar with Legion Solar, size up your system in stages. The larger the system, the more you'll offset and the more you'll save. Stage 1 - Get familiar with Legion Solar and it's components with the Starter Set. Sets up in minutes and experience instant results. Stage 2 - Scale your solar output with expansion sets to offset your daytime usage. Stage 3 - Once your system is large enough to have excess energy to store during daylight, add expansion sets with BatteryCommander™ for night time consumption. Stage 4 - Add Off Grid Controller™ and an Off Grid Inverter so that you have emergency power during grid power outages. Bluetooth interface allows you to monitor your energy production and consumption, check system health, diagnostics and more via the LegionSolar App for Apple/Android. Try it for fee today.

Donate NowOverview How often do you stand in front of the dried-up remains of your plants and wonder what went wrong? Too much water? Too little? Wrong spot? Just like us humans, plants are living and sentient beings. It can be hard to understand exactly what they need and to decrypt all those silent messages they send us. The key to helping our plants survive and thrive without speaking the same language? It’s all about finding smarter, deeper ways to connect. This is why we developed the FYTA Beam. The FYTA Beam is a small sensor that connects your plants with your smartphone so you know when they need more water, fertilizer, or a different ambience. How does the FYTA Beam work? The FYTA Beam measures critical factors for a plant’s wellbeing, including - soil moisture - nutrition levels - light intensity and - temperature. Just insert it into the soil next to your plant and install the FYTA app – intelligent insights will be sent your way instantly via Bluetooth. The FYTA Beam will seamlessly monitor the plant’s living conditions to ensure that it stays within the correct limits for the type of plant that you have. And when it’s time for action, you’ll get a simple notification on you App. No more guess work, lots more “it works!”. If you have several plants, you can connect several FYTA Beams via Bluetooth with each other to create a network of up to 100m transmission range. The FYTA Beam: better than smart We couldn’t find a smart sensor that worked the way we wanted it to. Many existing sensors only measure one or two important parameters, have little design functionality, or are so badly designed that they look like they crash-landed from Planet Fugly. We wanted to do a better job! This is what makes our FYTA Beam different from other plant sensors: - Discrete: The FYTA Beam is small and has a reflective glass casing. It almost disappears in your planter. - Eco-friendly: It’s powered by a built-in solar cell that extends the life of the CR battery every day. All components are detachable so they can be recycled separately. - Accurate: It measures voltage across the entire length of its stainless-steel probes. This way it collects more data and calculates highly reliable values. - Adjustable: Have large plants? No problem. The probes are detachable and will be available in different lengths. - Customizable: Fancy a different feel? There will be different casing colors and designs available soon. - Good value: Did you know that many of our houseplants could easily outlast us if they received proper care? The FYTA Beam probably costs as little as your phone case - and is packed with really smart technology that will make your plants last longer. The FYTA App: more than a messenger The FYTA App does more than just check on your plants and nudge you in the right direction – it digs up a whole host of smart insights to help your relationship flourish in new ways: - Plant identification: Do you know what plants you actually have? No? Well, the app is here to help you identify them! - The FYTA plant library: Our plant library includes plant care instructions for all common houseplants. It keeps all plant information handy and in one place. Simple. - Virtual Garden: Create personal profiles for your plants and organize them in a virtual garden. Perfect if you have many to look after! - Customized notifications: Let your plants nudge you whenever they need something or simply choose how often you’d like to hear from your plants. - Tutorials: Enjoy fun tutorials that show you how to take better care of your plants. You’ll even learn how to make plant babies. Yes, you read that right. All of these features come together to help you do one spectacular thing: better understand your plants and eventually connect with them device-free. Here is a sneak peek of our App: Click picture to open an interactive demo reel of the FYTA App The FYTA Base: check on your plants while you’re away Leaving your beloved plants behind? Don’t fret. With the FYTA Base, it’s easy to check in on them while you’re away and share care instructions with a friend or neighbor, for instance via email. The FYTA Base is a WiFi hub that - connects all of your FYTA Beams to your home WiFi network, extending their range way further. - helps you manage multiple sensors with greater ease and security. - constantly monitors all FYTA Beams and uploads data to a secure cloud, allowing you to access critical insights whenever, wherever. - provides better notification and sharing options through the FYTA App. Prototyping We’ve been working for over 12 months on creating the FYTA eco-system: The FYTA Beam, The FYTA Base, the App and the cloud back-end. Developing the FYTA Beam was fun but challenging. A few things were straight-forward such as building an NTC-Thermistor into the microcontroller to measure temperature. In order to measure light intensity, we chose to use the current generated by a solar cell instead a photoiode ( which is commonly used). This approach helps to to prolong battery life. The most challenging part was to develop a capacitive soil moisture sensor which also measures the salinity of the soil. Finally, we had to figure out how to have the sensors interact in a Bluetooth Mesh Network. Over time we built several generations of sensors to test different aspects of the electronics and the Bluetooth communication. The following picture shows several of our prototypes: Eventually, over the course of months and three generations of prototypes, the FYTA Beam became what it is today. In this video, our engineer Jacob is demonstrating the basic functionality of the sensor within a Mesh network with the help of a third party Bluetooth application. Another important part of the process was the parameter calibration which we did with the help of a solar simulator (for light intensity). To calibrate the soil parameter, we used an array of soil samples with fixed values for moisture and salinity to derive the interdependency of both parameters. Finally, we compared our results with measurements taken with highly sensitive, professional measurement devices Current Status and Next Steps Hardware development and programming is now complete. We have visited several manufactures in China and entered into an early stage cooperation with an experienced high-quality producer. We have a demo version of the App and are now working on connecting the devices to the FYTA App and FYTA server (about 50% done). We are aiming at completing this stage by end-July to have sufficient time for further testing and calibrations before we order the first batch of products. We have sufficient funds to complete the development process of the FYTA Beam. We have successfully collected funds on Kickstarter to finance the tools required for mass production with our manufacturing partner and run a test production of the alpha units. We are now taking pre-orders for the first production batch which we like to deliver to a dedicated group of early adopters that help us · to improve the FYTA Beam eco-system with the help of your feedback. · to connect people to plants all over the world Let's grow the FYTA community together Our perks include the following products: The FYTA Beam System The FYTA Beam System consists of the FYTA Beam, the FYTA App and the optional FYTA Base. Our rewards include single Beams, as well as three different bundles (Plant Lover, Plant Addict, and Plant Nerd) to meet different needs.

Less Consumption, Less Emission Lumir K converts the small thermal energy of cooking oil into electricity and it turns on the bright LEDs. This amazing lantern will light up where you want and it make an impact on the world where it is needed. From now, Cooking oil turns to the power source of your lamp. Lumir K uses cooking oil to generate electricity. Cooking oil is one of the cheapest and familiar ingredients as it is easily found from grocery stores in the city to tiny kiosk shops in a remote area. Olive, canola and sunflower oil, it doesn't matter what kind of cooking oil is. Without any batteries or external power supply, only with tiny flame which is as big as candle, Lumir K gives you an instant and 100 times brighter light. Lumir K is an easy, accessible and sustainable solution for those who need a light. With a goal to light up the world, team Lumir had a successful campaign with our first product, candle powered LED lamp. We promised to keep developing solutions for families in the off-grid area and finally came back with Lumir K by improving efficiency and changing fuel as cooking oil. Lumir K achieved CE and its core technology is patented. We are happy to share this achievement with you, and we need your support to take one step further. Lumir K will brighten up anywhere light needs to touch Lumir has been resolving the light shortages and delivering the beauty of light. Our journey started from a small but momentous experience during the trip to India, learning that there are so many places around the world suffering from unreliable or no electricity supply. Among 1.2 billion who do not have access to electricity, most of them rely on candles or kerosene lamps which is dark, harmful for health and the environment. Using kerosene lamps indoors has the same effect as smoking 40 cigarettes and the cost for fuel takes up even 30% of the household's income. Instead of unreliable supply, Isn't it be possible to maximize the light from a candle or a kerosene lamp? That was the question that led us to invent Lumir K as an effective solution for the light shortage issue. In the case of kerosene lamps, only 10% of the energy from the fuel is used for illuminating because the flame itself is the direct light, and the rest, 90% of the energy is just scattered in the air as a heat. However, Lumir K harnesses the wasted 90% of the heat energy to turn on the LEDs, so it is pretty economical as it provides a brighter light only with a small flame. LUMIR K can be used anytime and anywhere while solar lamps has a big weather constraints in many areas like Indonesia where the average rainy days are more than 160 days. After our first crowdfunding campaign, we became a partner of KOICA, Korean International Cooperation Agency, and Lumir K was piloted in Indonesia. Lumir K provides 4.1 times brighter light than kerosene lamps, while its economic effect was also achieved with 80% lower fuel consumption compared to kerosene lamps. It also reduces carbon emissions by about 90%. Lumir K harnesses the heat energy of a small flame which usually scattered into the air and generate electricity. Without any external power supply, it lights up LEDs which is almost 100 times brighter than a candlelight. Just placing the lamp over the lit wick will turn the LED light on. Lumir K is powered cooking oil, which is easy to get and is affordable wherever you are. It consumes only 5ml of oil for an hour, as much as you might spill when you cook. It means that you can light up Lumir K for 1 month with 1 liter of oil. You can enjoy the sustainable light of Lumir K for 10 years. It doesn't take up a lot of space when you keep it under the sink or on the shelf in the garage, however, it has a great value when you use it. Not only Lumir K comes in handy for you, also it provides the light of hope to people without access to electricity in a remote area. Your support will make the impact bigger. BBQ in the garden In your garage Picnic Detachable light Adjustable LED head 1 fill up = 7 days The fuel container can hold up to 140ml. It is enough to light up the lamp for a week when you use 4 hours every day 2cm is enough for the size of a flame. Making a flame bigger than that is not recommended Lumir K is designed to use cooking oil as fuel. Avoid using other fuels like gasoline, which is explosive and highly flammable. The raised fund from this campaign will be the valuable capital for developing the next generation, LUMIR H: Home system, which can turn light on the entire house with a tiny flame Currently, we are working with many organizations to bring the light to the off-grid world, especially where solar products are limited to fully function due to the climates, like Indonesia, Cambodia, Laos, Brunei, etc. For every "Give" perks funded from the campaign, Lumir K will be distributed to power families in a remote village in Siem Reap, Cambodia. Under cooperation with a government organization, Volunteer distribution trip is going to be in September and all the process will be shared via updates and newsletter! If you support "Empower 100 families", you can help a specific location you want to aid. Lumir will cover the shipping cost if the destination is one of the countries listed here. (Please note that you are responsible for applicable taxes and customs tariffs.) Or still you can pitch in supporting the village in Cambodia, 100 Lumir K you backed will be given out through our distribution trip. *The countries are based on the OECD Development Assistance Committee (DAC) list of ODA Recipients.

They are so easy to use, you just stick the micro or macro lens on your phone's camera (they literally are stickers) and you are ready to blip away. They are small and lightweight which allows you to have them always available, hence you never have to say again: "Oh I wish I had my camera with me". I have them in the back of my phone I love taking pictures with an artistic flavor to them as a hobby. I especially like taking pictures of insects, flowers and skin. Blips allows you to take pictures with great zoom (micro mode) which otherwise would require a dslr with a special lens (if not a microscope). With blips, anyone can become an artist! It's so easy to take beautiful, artistic pictures!"Vicky P. Phd Student, UC San Diego - USA It allows you to take high definition macro pictures with optical magnification of about 10 times. It is extremely thin, about 1/50 inch (0.5mm), and very user friendly. It represents the first step from “standard” photography towards portable microscopy. Its working distance, i.e. the distance between the lens and the focal plane, is of about 1/2 inch (12mm). lemon flower / ladybug / passion fruit flower shot with Blips MACRO lensHence, it can be used like a high power magnification lens for precision works or for several other applications where an enhanced electronic eye is desired, from technical uses to sheer fun. For example, it can be used for quality control of soldering works, on cloth, seams, paints or other manufactured items. Needle and thread insertion, self-examination of moles, skin, or nails, children’s hair inspections for head lice/nits, insects or spiders observation, checking of parasites on leaves, etc. Using BLIPS MICRO you are able to turn your smartphone into a real microscope in seconds! Blips Micro is able to detect details of about 1/7000 inch (≈1/300 mm), distinguishing single cells or other inhabitants of the micro-world. BLIPS Micro is less than 1/20 inch (≈1.2mm) high, and turns your phone into an actual digital microscope. You need to keep a distance of ¼ inch (6mm) between the lens and the sample under observation to discover tiny details at a high definition. With the use of the digital zoom it’s possible to achieve magnification of over 100x*. *Note: the magnification factor depends on the model of smartphone or tablet used. To measure the magnification factor we suggest to take a picture of two tick marks on a ruler and measure the captured image on the screen. Other products claimed magnification factors often prove lower than claimed when tested by using this method.Sand shot with Blips Micro lensIn addition to the BLIPS Micro and Macro lenses, a new lens with the highest level of magnification, twice as powerful as the Micro Lens, has been developed.

The macro lens is perfect for detailed work such as model-making, intricate repairs, restoration works and self inspections for head lice, moles and skin dermatitis.WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN MICRO, MACRO AND THE NEW ULTRA? MACRO: The best option to observe insects or objects in motion. Its deeper focus allows you to easily follow the subject you are examining. MICRO: For higher magnification; maximal resolution (ability to see small details) can be achieved by using transmitted light through the subject you are observing (for example using prepared slides and a light source from behind)ULTRA: The brand new Blips Lens with the highest magnification. It requires a Lab Kit Pledge to work, as it provides the proper stand to guarantee the necessary stability to view and photograph slides and objects.BLIPS REQUIRES LITTLE MAINTENANCEKeep BLIPS on the camera for as long as you need; you can stick the BLIPS lenses on your camera or nearby for a whole day or more. When you do not use BLIPS for long periods, place the lenses back on their original card. Keep them in your wallet, bag, or anywhere you want. Avoid to press on the lenses for extended periods. The adherence might be weak when applied below 15°C (50F).The ou can easily use Blips with your favorite application, making sure the subject you are examining is exposed to enough light. If possible, lock the autofocus and visualize the captured images on full screen. BLIPS PROTECTS YOUR PRIVACY!While playing around with BLIPS, we casually found out that when lenses are attached to a Mac / PC Camera, it also provides a strong privacy barrier, offering 2 different degrees of blurring. No more prying eyes on your devices! A cool extra perk to make good use of BLIPS.

Donate Nowfins are laminated into the surfboard. As you might imagine, a glassed-in fin might be smoother and sounder than a removable fin. However, glassed-in fins are difficult to repair and do not offer you the versatility of removable fins.Surfboards with removable fins have “boxes” that fins are screwed into. Removable fins can be added or removed using a fin key and adjusting the small (typically stainless steel) inset screws. Don’t force your fins into the box as that may damage your board or the fin; instead, make sure the screws are loose enough and that your fin is facing in the right direction. Center and outside fins have different shapes, so make sure you are using the right fin for the right box. Once your fins are in place, tighten your screws with the key, making sure the fins are secure but not TOO tight.
