Rotofarm combines the power of NASA-inspired zero-gravity technology, energy-efficient sunlight spectrum lighting and smart app automation for the easiest, most efficient and most effective growing experience. Grow fresh food year-round with no soil, 95% less watering, automatic lighting and full control from your phone. Rotofarm is fully automated, so you don’t have to worry. No more underwatering or overwatering. Just set it and forget it — spend less than 5 minutes of maintenance per week for perfect results. Rotofarm flawlessly fits 5.2 ft of growing surface into a compact cylinder that takes up 3x less space. Easily place it on top of a kitchen counter, table or island. With the award-winning design, Rotofarm also makes an excellent centerpiece or highlighted piece of decor anywhere you want. Get healthy, nutrient-filled foods without pesticides or harmful chemicals. Rotofarm is made of BPA-free materials and contains no toxic metals in its construction. By producing your vegetables and herbs directly at home, you know that your food is coming from a 100% safe, sustainable, and protected environment. With Rotofarm, you bring nature to any corner of your home or office. The sleek, modern and futuristic design enhances any space, while the lush garden inside breathes life wherever your Rotofarm lives. Rotofarm makes gardening easy and efficient. No more wasted plants, wasted space, wasted water, or wasted energy. From the zero-gravity system to the full automation, Rotofarm is designed and engineered to ensure maximum efficiency and ease. Zero Gravity. NASA-Technology. Faster Growth. Rotofarm uses a NASA-inspired zero gravity technology that rotates your garden a full 360° every hour and reduces the growth-suppressing effects of gravity. This optimizes the watering and aeration of roots, encourages nutrient absorption, and maximizes both light exposure and space-utilization — resulting in faster growth with less water. Research on the International Space Station has shown that plants actually grow better in zero gravity environments. No gravity means there’s nothing resisting the plant’s efforts to pull water and nutrients up. As a result, their stems can grow much taller and their leaves much wider with less energy needed. A low voltage motor and internal power supply in the base keeps Rotofarm rotating 24/7. The continual rotation creates a net zero gravitational pressure environment. The time spent upside down counteracts the time spent right-side up. Water and nutrients are picked on the bottom of the rotation, then drips down and pools in the plant leaves when on top — accelerating growth. This innovative technology allows Rotofarm to achieve space-level growth and benefits in your own home. Get larger, healthier plants faster with simple science. Maximum Light. Minimal Cost. Healthier Living. The boosted-spectrum, energy-efficient Sun+ LED light is optimized for strong plant growth. The light generates the full color emission of sunlight and boosts the purple, red, and invisible infrared wavelengths for enhanced plant health and increased growth speed across all stages. The centralized position provides steady lighting to all your plants simultaneously. This maximizes the light supply for all your plants and encourages even growth throughout your entire garden without wasting energy or space. Set an automatic timer with the mobile app to sync the light to sunset and sunrise times. The light will automatically fade off at sunset and fade on at sunrise — saving you even more energy and hassle. The automation mimics a natural day cycle and promotes a healthier circadian rhythm both in you and your plants. When these three design, tech and engineering innovations combine, they produce a maximum yield of growth-inducing light while saving you tons of money in energy bill savings. The result: a happier, healthier, wealthier you. Worry-Free Watering. Sustainable Gardening. Precise peristaltic pumps and level sensors prevent flooding and ensure there is always liquid resting at the base of the farmbed, regardless of rotation. If the sensors ever detect low water levels, Rotofarm will alert you via the app so you can refill the base. Because Rotofarm is a fully enclosed system, there is minimal water loss from evaporation or drainage. Your plants get just the right amount of water they need — any excess returns to the reservoir and is recycled for the next rotation. As a result, Rotofarm uses 95% less water than traditional farming techniques. Nothing is wasted. The rotating farmbed maintains the perfect balance of water, nutrients and oxygen for your plants. No more root rot or dried out leaves. Rotofarm has your watering regiment completely covered. Never worry about watering your vegetables ever again. No Soil. No Mess. No Waste. The soilless Seed Podsare made from 100% biodegradable, plastic-free, soil-free coconut fibre. The coconut fibre retains moisture and humidity extremely well and doesn’t lose its integrity when wet or dry. These features help your plants stay hydrated and secure, even when they’re upside down. No soil also means no mess, no waste and no runoff! Grow your plants in the most efficient way possible without any hassle. Easy To Access. Easy To Harvest. Rotofarm features a 180° swivel head that allows you to access it without strain. Simply move the garden opening towards you to harvest your herbs. The large opening and flexible head makes it easy to pick out your plants and prepare your meal for the day. Premium Luxury Materials. Designed To Last. Rotofarm is made with the highest-end quality materials for durability, longevity and aesthetics. Polished anodized aluminum and BPA-free silicones and plastics make up a majority of the base, internals and stand — creating a clean and strong build that holds the full density of your garden with stability and safety. A durable, beautiful white silicone shell protects the farmbed and keeps a modern, minimalistic aesthetic. Eclipse Cover — Maximize Light w/o Eye Strain The optional Eclipse Cover is an innovative acrylic and aluminum cover that reflects light back into the farmbed, retains internal humidity, optimizes plant health and decreases eye strain as you enjoy your Rotofarm. The Eclipse Cover easily snaps on to Rotofarm through hidden neodymium magnets. The magnets auto-align the cover and securely attach it in an instant — no locks or latches needed. The cover keeps air moisture and humidity from escaping the enclosed environment. This helps conserve water, maximizes leaf respiration and maintains an optimal growing state. The reflective interior mirror bounces and reflects light back to smaller, covered crops. This ensures all your herbs and vegetables, including those that may be blocked by larger plants, get the adequate lighting they need to thrive. The exterior smoked tint on the cover cuts out 60% of glare coming from the extra bright Sun+ light — reducing eye strain from the growth-optimized lighting. With the Eclipse Cover, you can conserve even more water, keep leaves healthier, and view your plants with ease. Rotofarm Pass — Continue The Harvest Each Rotofarm comes with a starter package of Seed Pods and Nutrient Concentrate. This is enough to get your first batch of produce growing and ready to eat. But what happens after? Don’t worry, we've got you covered! Before you checkout, be sure to add the Rotofarm Pass to your order. The Rotofarm Pass is a monthly subscription for Seed Pods and Nutrient Concentrate optimized for Rotofarm. Get your next batch started immediately after you harvest! Always be ready for the next cycle and keep the growth going! Traditional farming is terribly inefficient and wasteful.

With Rotofarm, we believe we can get one step closer to a more sustainable, more efficient, healthier future.

Donate NowUnknown to many home cooks, carbon steel is a staple in professional kitchens for good reason. Misen Carbon Steel is lighter and easier to use than cast iron, has a naturally nonstick surface, and will last forever. Quite simply, it makes cooking better, easier and more fun! It's Naturally Nonstick Nonstick performance, without the chemicals. As a result of its natural composition, Misen Carbon Steel is able to be "seasoned." 'Seasoning' refers to a structure of successive, thin layers of polymerized oil that create a durable, naturally nonstick coating. Even better? A pan's seasoning can easily be replenished if it wears down, for a lifetime of natural nonstick use. When you don’t have to worry about delicate foods (like eggs or seafood) getting stuck to your pan, cooking gets a lot more fun! Misen Carbon Steel is easy to season and gets better the more you use it New Pan (left), 2 - 3 Seasonings (middle), 5+ Seasonings (right) Mmm Cheesy... It's Lighter Than Cast Iron The benefits of Cast Iron, without the extra weight. We have a fond place in our hearts for Cast Iron, but it’s a hard pan to cook with for many people because of how heavy it is. While Cast Iron and Carbon Steel pans have similar compositions, Carbon Steel actually contains 1 - 2% less carbon. This seemingly 'small' difference is actually quite substantial, and gives Carbon Steel pans a stronger, more uniform grain structure. Misen Carbon Steel provides the same benefits as Cast Iron, but is thinner and lighter, making it much easier to pick up, move, and really cook with. It's Incredibly Versatile You name it, Misen Carbon Steel can cook it. Cookware is often about tradeoffs. If you want something (say, nonstick performance), you usually have to give up something else (high heat searing). Fortunately, these rules don’t apply to Carbon Steel. Misen Carbon Steel’s natural nonstick surface, high heat tolerance, and durability makes it perfect for almost any dish. Pizza, omelets, steak, seafood, veggies — you name it, this pan can cook it to perfection.

Donate NowThe One80 Pouches use no magnet, no velcro and no zipper. They require no pocket or belt to provide you with an easy and safe solution for carrying your cards, phone or passport. We've taken the idea of a running belt and transformed the concept into something completely new and different; then expanded on the idea from a way to carry a phone while running to wallets and passport holders. The One80 Pouch is the first stand alone pouch that can be added to a waistline (with or without a belt) with no need for a belt, pocket, magnets or velcro. This pouch makes it possible for you to carry those day to day necessities with ease. Each pouch lays discretely against your waist with little to no show. Compare the old way to the newly reinvented One80 Pouch way Carrying your cell phone, cards or passport has never been so easy. In developing the One80 Pouches we poured over reviews to figure out the good and bad of all comparable items. Zippers are the number one breaking point of running belt and fanny packs. Magnets are potentially dangerous to cell phones and velcro often loses its stick after time. So, we set out to find a way to develop the pouches without any of these to improve user experience and convenience. No one likes sitting on a wallet. It's uncomfortable and annoying. Minimal wallet are great. Better than a large traditional wallet. Yet the problem remains. You have have to keep in a pocket. Do you deal with having it in a back pocket and the bother of sitting on it? Or keep it in a front pocket and contend with the front pocket bulge? Dave, who has been testing testing the card holder wallet prototype said,"I went to using a minimal wallet a year ago. From there I started keeping it in my front pocket to avoid having to sit on it. That was better than a back pocket. But THIS wallet is a GAME CHANGER." Fanny packs and running belts are great; but what if you don't want to carry that bulky thing? Or just want something more discrete? One80 Pouch is for you. Perfect to carry your phone on a run and inconspicuous enough to wear with almost anything out to a movies or dinner. Wearing leggings or jeans? With or without a belt? You can comfortably wear any of these with the One80 Pouches. In front, in back, on the side? Or maybe partially on the side or somewhere in between. Wear your pouch how you like. Even if you're not wearing it on you waist it's perfect for the inner pocket of your backpack or purse. Have you ever lost your wallet to bottom depths of a bag? Use your pouch to keep it attached inside the bag exactly where you need it. Inconspicuously wear your One80 Pouch wherever life takes you. True functionality happens so easily you don't have to think about it. Carrying items can be cumbersome and an obstruction. The One80 Pouch is truly functional. You can wear it to the gym and it won't get in the way of your workout. Wear it running and it will disappear into your running experience. It's time to leave those bulky phone holders that demand continual adjustment behind. The easy attached clips make putting on your One80 Pouch super easy. The clips are smooth and super low profile so they won't bother or annoy you while wearing your pouch. The design was tested over and over to ensure easy attachment and removal, yet tight enough grip and hold securely.Less is better, especially when talking about comfort. And that's exactly what your going to get with your One80 Pouch; comfort. So much less to worry about and be bothered by. No belt. No bulky over-sized bag. No straps covered in velcro. No magnets to hold it on. No zipper to fuss with. Pure and simple comfort. What makes these pouches so different from every other wallet, phone or passport holder? The easy on easy off propriety clips. So simple, yet made with precision to ensure your pouch will easily slip on to a waistline or belt, will hold secure, and then can be removed easily. Doesn't seem that difficult right? That's what we thought at first too.We spent a year trying different ways of making this work and tested hundreds of clip variations. With each rendition removing or adding millimeters at a time and subtle shape modification before finally at what you see today. Some of first steps were to figure out a pouch or bag system. We went through various types fabrics and materials. Tried velcro, zippers and magnets before ultimately deciding we wanted to simplify the pouch as much as possible and eliminate these different materials; as most of them were leading causes for issues in other bags and belts. We knew the key to make this concept work would be and effective clip. This proved to be the most difficult part of the building process. After various concepts and the slightest adjustment of 1/2 mm at a time we arrived at the clip we felt accomplished what we had set out to do. Lots and lots of 3D printing and design lead us to the clips we came to today. Testing each along the way for it's capabilities and function. Our industrial sewing machine and 3D printer got a lot of use during those months.

Now there is a solution how to avoid such inconveniences: Hushme - personal acoustic device that will help you to protect speech privacy in open space environments. After our participation at CES 2017 and Wearable Technology Show: Apart from the normal headset mode, Hushme has two more modes: passive and active.In the normal headset mode, Hushme connects to the smartphone via Bluetooth and you can use it as hands-free headset while speaking on the phone or listening to music.In the passive voice muffling mode, Hushme is locked over the mouth using magnetic coupling. This mode is provided by the innovative insulation materials, that are embedded inside the mask, by the extra soft cushion muffs and by the special sound-absorbing paint, that covers the whole inner surface of the device. So, people at the distance of 3 feet cannot decipher your words, while your speech is transmitted to the other end undistorted thanks to sensitive built-in microphone.The cushion muffs are replaceable, so you can remove it in order to clean or to replace with new muffs.The size-adjusting system allows to set up the right size of the mask so it could fit any face.The active voice masking mode is provided by the electronics, which is located in the headband, and by the proprietary algorithms. Pressing the button activates the outer speakers, that are located on the perimeter of the mask, - these speakers will generate masking sounds. Thanks to the insulating properties of its body, Hushme in passive mode is capable to lower some to 25 dB. Thus, the volume of the resulting sound using the mask will be approximately 25-30 dB, which corresponds to a whisper or noise level in a quiet library. Still one can decipher a whisper too if one wants to eavesdrop on you. In this case, we recommend using the active voice masking mode. In the active voice masking mode, 4 speakers located on the outer surface of the device are activated, and the mask starts to produce a preset sound. A special algorithm modulates this sound relative to the intensity of your voice: the mask "is silent" when you are silent, it raises or lowers the volume or pauses completely following your voice. This masking sound adds approximately 12 dB. Thus, the resulting noise when using the active mode will be approximately 35-40 dB, which corresponds to the noise level in a quiet room. Finally, for maximum efficiency of the device, we recommend to lower the voice when you speak over the phone using Hushme, then you will ultimately protect your speech privacy and still will be heard perfectly well on the other end. Hushme uses dedicated App to synchronize with your smart phone, which enables you to choose masking sounds from the library, upload your customized sounds, adjust volume, etc. The sounds of rain, wind and ocean are downloaded into the device by default. The volume and the intensity of the masking sounds directly depends on the pace, rhythm and volume of your speech. But, in any case, the output noise is lower in volume than the incoming speech.The device can also be used as a powerful wireless speaker that allows you to enjoy the music.

A lady next to them was trying to speak via Skype with a business partner of hers but at some point she ceased it as she realized that people around unintentionally overheard her conversation. founded Hushme Inc. and started working on the world’s first voice mask aka Hushme. The company is registered in Dover, DE and the main office is based there, but R&D will remain in Ukraine. Hushme prototype in the form factor of a wireless round-the-neck headset was first presented at CES 2017 and stirred a lot of interest among market professionals and general public. The main goal of our device - is to cover human needs connected with phone call privacy. We are confident, that many people will appreciate this. Which is why, we believe that the launch of this campaign will help us to find even more like-minded people, who would consider Hushme to be beneficial and state-of-the-art gadget.We`ve already managed to develop a working prototype with electronics, currently we are hard at work upon implementation of additional improvements and we really need your support. Your funds will help us to: Finalize product shape Finish apps for iOS and Android Order injection mold tooling Organize a mass productionDeliver Hushme to you
Donate NowShort SummaryMy mission has always been to make vegan food delicious AND accessible to everyone.For the past four years I have been growing my vegan baking business from nothing. I started by baking unimpressive (but tasty!) cakes for my son's birthdays and now I'm happy to say that I bake birthday cakes for many other people to enjoy and I am so humbled and thankful to be a part of these celebrations and this is entirely due to customer support.Not only will I be able to keep my sweets in stock at a storefront for guests to walk in and pick up items without pre-ordering AND pick up pre-ordered custom cakes and catered orders, but we will serve light fare and coffee as well. I am opening my very first vegan cafe! I just need a little boost to get started and that's where you can help! Here's how your contributions will help: The first 3000: Pay utilities and lease for opening costs.The next 5000: Purchase equipment, starting inventory and contribute to salary for any employees until business picks up momentum.Any additional funding: Any structural/cosmetic or operational costs that may come as we prepare the store for opening. The ImpactViva! Vegan will not just be a place to pick up vegan snacks. We have plans to host small events for community builders, participate in local eco-friendly activities, food drives, raise funds for animal sanctuaries and shelters and more as we provide food for the individual and for thought!Your help will also make a huge impact on my little business and my family. I am a single parent from a low income household and I took a risk by building the bakery, but being able to provide people with cruelty free, plant based foods to celebrate important milestones in their lives has made every up and down well worth it. Having a storefront where I can serve the community every day will help my bakery grow! Risks & ChallengesWith any business there is a risk. With any challenge there is a risk. What if the products don't sell? What if the market doesn't want the store? What if it all falls apart? Well I believe that Delaware is ready for more vegan food. I believe that there are people in New Castle County that want more plant based options and if running my bakery for the last four years has taught me anything I've learned that we have a community of people who appreciate local businesses who are trying to make a difference. If the campaign goals are not met, I will continue to look for funding. Since I am providing a service perks will still be delivered even if the store does not open. Evangelina's Vegan Desserts will still be open.
Donate NowOverview Brake Free is an ultra bright smart LED brake light that instantly improves a motorcycle's visibility. It mounts on the back of the helmet you already own and its sensors work automatically to let others know whenever you slow down--braking, engine braking, or downshifting. No need for a wired installation or connected apps. Brake Free is simply a smarter way to be seen. Brake Free is an ultra bright smart LED brake light that instantly improves a motorcycle's visibility. It mounts on the back of the helmet you already own and with its constant LED light at a driver's eye level, you'll be more visible both day and night. Brake Free design, development, certification testing, and road testing is complete. Production of our first mass production run is underway. "it makes you more visible to other motorists whether you're braking or not." "California startup Brake Free wants to make your helmet useful in preventing the emergency in the first place, but mounting a highly visible automatic LED brake light on it, where car drivers are more likely to notice and respond. "The ultra bright smart LED brake light multiplies your visibility on the road, and the best thing? it has no wires, nothing to install on your bike, and works with no apps! "A bright red LED at their eye level that gets even brighter every time you slow down could make the difference between getting to your destination or winding up on in the hospital or worse. Brake Free utilizes accelerometer and gyroscope sensors to autonomously detect when you're slowing down no matter how: braking, engine braking, or downshifting. When it does detect you braking, its LEDs glow brighter letting drivers around you know instantly. And there is no wired installation or connected apps with your phone for it to work. Brake Free is able to detect 3 types of braking and respond accordingly: Regular Braking: engaging front or rear brakes Engine Braking: decelerating without touching your brake levers Emergency Braking: triggers special light pattern This is what makes Brake Free special: it's not just a passive LED light that is constantly on (and in this case, it's on the continuous flash mode--more on that below). It responds to how you ride and alerts everyone around you when you're slowing down making you even more visible at this crucial point to prevent being rear ended. Above, you'll see Brake Free's CEO Alex Arkhangelskiy riding with the unit on, looking left and right, and bobbing his head in which the unit's LED lights did not glow brighter. Only until he pulls up to a stop, the LEDs then glow brightly syncing with his tail brake light wirelessly thanks to the accelerometer and gyroscope sensors onboard. We get asked a lot if the lights on Brake Free can be seen during the day time and the answer is a definite yes. The above is a raw clip from a GoPro mounted on the backpack of Brake Free's CEO Alex Arkhangelskiy slowing down during a day ride on the freeway. In fact, the lights are typically so bright that the camera's sensors are usually saturated from the 100 red LEDs. "After nearly 42 years of working in the motorcycle industry, and 17 specializing in helmets, one thing continues to prove true. A rider can NEVER be too visible. The Brake Free system is about as simple as it gets, yet offers a level of visibility unavailable prior to its introduction. It’s easy to install and will help riders to be seen when it counts the most. Brake Free is a simple, effective device that will dramatically improve the safety margin for all riders, regardless of skill level." "Riding a motorcycle is like being invisible. To increase your odds of survival, it is crucial to increase your visibility. I use hi viz gear, headlight modulator and reflectors, and I will be adding Brake Free to ensure drivers see me." "As the owner of a DIY motorcycle repair club I see so many bikes come in that have been clipped by cars that just did not see them or give them enough space for a turn. The novel idea of the Brake Free is a wonderful addition to increasing the visibility of all my riders - right at eye level for car drivers and without interfering with the riders reactions or responses. I'm recommending it to all the members!!" Attaching Brake Free Brake Free attaches to almost any helmet with our unique universal clip mount Quick and effortless transfer between helmets Dovetail design for secure installation Mount attaches to the helmet with 3M VHB adhesive No damage to helmet surface Turning Brake Free On Brake Free is easy to turn on even with gloves thanks to its one-touch button. When it does turn on, it flashes to indicate its battery level: 3 flashes = 75-100% battery 2 flashes = 30-60% battery 1 flash = < 30% battery Continuous Flash Mode Brake Free also has a continuous flash mode which can be used as a hazard light. You can still wear it during this mode in which the light will function normally letting others know when you're slowing down by glowing brighter. Turning Brake Free Off And it's just as easy to turn off: Simple press and hold the one button for 3 seconds to turn off the unit. Charging Brake Free When it is time to charge Brake Free, simply use the included micro-USB cord to fully charge it in 2 hours. Each BRAKE FREE unit comes with: Micro USB charging cable 1 helmet clip mount User manual We've gone through a series of prototypes prior to settling on the final Brake Free design. We got feedback from countless riders and industry insiders to help steer our design. We worked hard to keep the design slim, stylish and versatile. We've come a long way since our first proof of concept prototype. This prototype helped us validate our idea of being able to use sensors to detect deceleration. This was our test rig for tesing our algorithm with our sensor package collecting data from the helmet while riding. It involved lots of packaging tape, but it served its purpose. Don't try this at home. Conducting measurements of the final design's LED brightness. Our team has worked tirelessly for almost 3 years designing, developing, testing and iterating Brake Free. We connected with many industry professionals, motorcycle groups, influencers, and riders to make sure we are developing a product that is truly valuable and needed in our community.We invested countless hours and close to $100,000 of our own money to get Brake Free to the stage it is at now. We iterated our design 4 times and we now have working prototypes that look and function like the finished product.
