The four coolest gadgets

Not everyone is already familiar with the principle of crowdfunding, and that is normal. It’s still a relatively new concept, but one that can help creative people make a difference. You first support a great idea for a product, and then you can follow the progress until the package arrives at your door. These are the four coolest gadgets on crowdfunding websites.

The biggest technological innovations don’t come from ‘big tech’ companies, but from smaller start-ups chasing their dreams. Thanks to crowdfunding sites, you will be the first to get your hands on the best new products.

1. MOFT – laptop stand with graphene cooling

For who is it?

If your laptop makes so much noise that you’re afraid it’s going to take off

What is it?

Laptops sometimes come with impressive performance, but it’s often a challenge to keep them cool as well. Many models fail and then this MOFT laptop stand can offer a way out. It works without a fan, but it uses graphene technology instead. No other metal can reduce heat so quickly. It directs the heat to a wafer-thin layer that further reduces the heat. On average, the temperature of a laptop cools by 5°C. In addition, the MOFT also consists of an attractive stand that puts your laptop upright at an angle of your choice.

• MOFT – IndieGoGo – 39 euros incl. shipping – expected in September 2022

2. CarrGenie – Android Auto wireless module makes your car work like a tablet

For who is it?

For those who want to do more with Android Auto

What is it?

The CarrGenie promises to enhance your Android Auto experience. The device is connected to the USB port of your car and it connects wirelessly to your phone. The interesting thing is that the CarrGenie turns your infotainment system into an Android 11 system. So you can play any Android app on your infotainment system, including Netflix and YouTube. In addition, your Waze or Google Maps navigation also works and the device also comes with a built-in GPS antenna.

• CarrGenie – Kickstarter – 68.60 euros incl. shipping – expected in December 2022

3. Wicked Egg – toys that automatically entertain your pet

For who is it?

For if you want to stimulate your pet a little extra when you are away from home

What is it?

If you go to work during the day, your dog or cat may be bored until you come home. The Wicked Egg should provide some extra incentives during a working day. It looks like an egg that rolls on its own, gives off light and makes a sound. But above all: he sometimes drops candies.

After minutes of play, the Wicked Egg automatically goes into a 30-minute sleep mode, and when your four-legged friend touches the egg again, it fires the Wicked Egg back into action. The device has different modes in which it can work in different ways. The toy is also durable and you can fill it with more candies afterwards. You wouldn’t want your egg to forget to fill it with goodies again

• Wicked Egg – Kickstarter – 51.73 euros incl. shipping – expected in November 2022

4. ECOeshiner – solar camping table

For who is it?

For those who want to charge their devices with the power of the sun

What is it?

The ECOeshiner is a table that you can transport like a backpack and fold out to use it. You can then charge your phone and other devices with a power of 24W. The whole weighs only 1.8 kilograms. In addition, the table measures 550 x 450 x 650 mm when unfolded. The whole is aimed at campers, and it is therefore logical that the ECOeshiner is resistant to dust and rainfall. It has an IP65 certification.

• EXOeshiner – Kickstarter – 144.21 euros incl. shipping – expected in October 2022

Think of this with crowdfunding

Keep in mind that with crowdfunding you always support an idea in the first place, with no real guarantee that the actual product will meet your expectations. So choose the projects and start-ups that you really believe in and follow the regular updates on development and shipping that the start-ups communicate. Supporting projects through crowdfunding is therefore not the same as shopping.
