The Censtron Wave Vessel

The Censtron Wave Vessel takes any audio signal and transforms it into an amazing visual display. It is so easy to use, just plug it into the wall, insert the 1/4″ audio jack, and turn it on. Once you turn it on, you can switch through three exciting modes, which are easily accessible from the switch located on the top of the unit. Words can not do this justice, watch the movie and see it for yourself, you will be amazed.

Features:
1/4″ Audio Input
Simulated Wood Grain
Three Way Mode switch

If you’re interested in how to do this mod, go here. Though it is not recommended because of the risk of injury involved.

SkyPort Fiber Optic Skylight System

Direct
from Sweden, Parans shows off their Skyport system: light-collecting
panels which you install on your roof, allowing them to feed a remote
part of your house with the purest of natural light. The Skyport system
uses SunWire—”light transporting cable” (read: fiber optics)—to bring
sunlight to its connected “luminaries”. Björks, as they’re called, are
specially designed to generate a light output of up to 4,000 lux,
presumably on a clear day. The SunWire allows for you to distribute
sunlight up to three stories down into a building and the Björks come
in three different shapes, letting you maximize light output for a
particular room’s layout. Pricing and availability are heretofore a
mystery, so you’ll have to wait for now.

(Update: Marcus Fransson from Parans was kind enough to share
the price list with me. A SkyPort unit costs roughly $4,500 (less
shipping) which includes 15 feet of SunWire. A large Björk comes in at
around $1,200 and a small one is $420. They ship directly from Sweden,
and they’re available now.)
