Name the Thing Contest – 65

12

We have a contest sponsor this week, thanks to USB Fever for the 4 port USB charger prize. I could have used this device when I was on vacation this year, I ended up charging devices via the laptop at night. This contest will run for one week (Oct 25 – Oct 30, 2008) . Ending time is based on central standard time. To enter, identify the item pictured above and give an example of what can be done with it. Please do not give the answer in the comments.

 

Send an email to contest @ hackedgadgets.com with "Name the Thing Contest" as the subject, and the message body consisting of:

  • The name of the item in the above picture
  • An example of what the item pictured above can be used for

The winner will be chosen at random from all of the correct entries.

  1. Do you need the exact make and model or will a general descrip do.


  2. never mind just sent more info than I though was needed


  3. Hi Mkey Finn,

    No, you don’t need to be very specific. A general description will do.


  4. Finally another easy one. Got my entry in. Too bad the guess-it isn’t the prize. I could use one.


  5. Found the original image (and subsequently the full name of the “thing”) quite easily but won’t be entering the compo, I’ve got no use for a cigarette-to-USB charger, it won’t work on my electric bike 😉


  6. This is such a “cool” contest.


  7. And the prizes are always hot…


  8. Hey allan, you should have taken that “LR” logo off the pic, dead giveaway.
    I know exactly what it is but ill leave it to someone else to win 😛


  9. I thought I would leave it in since some of the past contests were very hard. 🙂


  10. The LR wasn’t a giveaway for me, rather I have been drooling over one of these for quite some time now…


  12. More than just a water-cooled heatsink, this one has an active (peltier-based) chiller.
