Bell Balls
Take a look at our 13-1/2" long twisted-plastic drinking straws that hold rolling, alien eyeballs. (The 1-3/4" dia spinning eyeballs can be popped out of the sockets for extra fun, says the label!) Assorted color combinations. We'll choose (4) for you. Note: On our web site, look for these Taco Bell® surplus straws under Adult & Kid Toys/YBP. That would be Yucky Body Parts. It's only fitting.

Peltier Heat Pump
High tech comes to Am Sci & Surp!! It is here in the form of a Peltier junction, a thermo-electric device that translates electric power into heat, and perversely, into cool. Apply current @ 3-12 VDC to the gizmo and it extracts thermal energy from one face, thereby cooling it. The heat is dumped onto the other face, thereby heating it. Please note: you must use a heat sink on the hot side or the junction will fry itself, since it can quickly create a 65° C temperature differential in a no load situation. Stack two, or build a cascade to increase the thermal differential created. Or run it backwards. Apply heat or cold to the relevant face and produce a current. Amazing for science projects and experiments. Practical for coffee warmers, beer coolers and mini-refrigerator or warming oven applications. Comes with instructions. Large is 1-9/16" sq. x 3/16" thick.

3D
So you drew a blue line drawing and right next to it a red one and now you need the glasses to produce the 3D effect. You are in luck, we've got 'em! Disposable, they have 7/8" dia plastic "gel" lenses mounted in a 1-1/2" x 5-3/4" paperboard holder with a snozzola cutout. They also work on 3D comics and other purchased items if you are too lazy to draw your own.

Radiation Meter
Are the kids growing up with pride? Radiating good cheer? You can tell for sure with...What? It’s for nuclear radiation? An old Civil Defense meter? Bummer. Apparently, this OCD radiation meter from the Victoreen Mfg. Co. was made to sniff out the residue of the nuclear holocaust when you emerged from your bomb shelter. Calibrated 5 r/hr (Roentgen) with a X 0.1, X1, X10, X100 sensitivity selector, it runs on (1) “D” battery (not included.) The Civil Defense yellow boxes are about 8” x 4–1/2” x 3–1/2”. It comes with complete instructions for use. The CD V–777–2 includes two 4–1/2” long x 1/2” dia dosimeters and a 2” x 4” x 4” dosimeter charger. This one is used, but it works fine, even if it looks a bit scuffed.

Pretty Butterflies
Pressed-foam butterflies with printed details and 6" wingspans come in assorted butterfly colors. In theory, and with minimal assembly, they're toy gliders. In reality, they make exceptionally pretty mobiles, table decorations, etc. Start with a package of (10).

Harry Potter’s Science Made Simple
Care to sneak a little scientific education in with all the Hogwart’s wizardry? For ages 8 and up, the Simple Physics kit explains some basics with a few props (balls and sticks) and a binder-ready guide to experiments that appear to be spells and magic. The Astronomy kit includes a nice guide to the basics, including a constellation map, plus instructions and real lenses for constructing a simple telescope. All with appropriate Hogwarts insignia.

Giant Iguana
Life size Green Iguana, 3 ft. long from nose to tail. His tail is turned so he only takes 2 ft. of branch (or shelf) space. He weighs a hearty 3lbs. We have seen these guys being sold for food along the roadside in Central America, and we swear you could not tell it from the real thing--except that there they have Blue Iguanas. Not pretty, but not meant to be. The lizard fan in your family will fall in love at first sight. Hard rubber, beautifully painted.

Ga-Booooiiiiiinnngggg!
The manufacturer calls it the Thunder Tube". We call it indispensable for the amateur Foley operator. It's a 7" long x 2-1/2" dia PVC tube with a resonant head at one end attached to a 17" long x 3/16" dia extension spring. Shake it, scrape it, wiggle it, use your palm to muffle it and you generate creaks, deep warbles, rumbles, weird heterodyne-ish gong effects, wa-wa's, rude noises, and, yes, realistic thunder. A perfect musical companion to your cuica and rain stick--and good, clean fun around the house. Don't make a sound-track without it.

Boogie Bot
Makes us want to dance every time we wind up one of these clever/goofy fools. The little 3-1/2" tall squarehead with the smiley face does what some of us (of a certain age) believe is a modified bugaloo. Very nice hip action, a rotating tummy, and watch out for those swinging arms. If you've ever said "to live is to dance, to dance is to live," you need this guy. We'll send you a red, grey or blue version, but frankly, you ought to have to a pair, because nobody likes to boogie alone.
