In fact,there’s not much these miraculous gizmos can’tdo, except order themselves.Voyager GPS 400Being lost is really rather fashionable at themoment. But prancing about on a mysteriousisland with a gaggle of suspiciously glamoroussurvivors is a far cry from pulling out your hair whilstdriving round the same block for the umpteenthtime. And asking for directions is about aseffective as chucking darts at a map because mostof us listen attentively then go ‘what did he say?’That’s why you need the amazing, featurepackedShinco GM-400 GPS.

Indeed, gettinglost will soon be a thing of the past as this smartrechargeable gizmo gives concise, turn-by-turnvoice guidance that anyone can follow.Power BallYou wouldn’t think it from first glance, but a Power Ball is actually a carefully engineered piece of kit originallydesigned to improve the wrist muscles of those who regularly use it.After initially setting the inner section spinning, rhythmic circular hand and wrist movements not onlymaintain the rotation, but also make it steadily faster. The increased centrifugal force makes it harder to keepthe Powerball spinning at the faster speeds. PGA Tour golfer Padraig Harrington has been known to use thePower Ball to improve his wrist strength.The reason Power Ball gets very addictive indeed is due to the rev counter on the top. That means you get ahigh score, and will probably want to beat it as time goes on. It also means that other people, who witnessyour Power Ball antics and see your high score, will call into question your muscular capabilities beforesneering and snatching away the Power Ball to consign your high score to history.Needless to say, male adult humans are the biggest fans of Power Ball’s mix of strength and scoring, but anyone can do it. Once you get over the initialhurdle of starting the gyroscope (there are two main ways - flicking your thumb down the wheel, or using the provided cord to set Power Ball in motionlike you would an old lawnmower), you are compelled to beat your last mark. Perhaps the gentle hum of a Power Ball subconsciously draws you intocontinued play. More likely, it’s the fact that no one calls you a pansy and 11,532 is the score of a legend. Either way, Power Ball genuinely is hard to putdown once you pick it up.6
With fuel prices skyrocketing and showing no signs of going down,it is now a good time to look for fuel saving devices…In order for your car to save fuel, it must make better use of every drop of petrol that you pour into the tankand this is done to improve engine efficiency. Engine efficiency is improved when the fuel that is fed intothe combustion chamber is fully burnt and the most common approach for achieving this higher efficiencyis by feeding ever-finer fuel droplets into the engine.In the days of the carburetor, the fuel droplet size as sufficiently small for early motoring but as consumersdemand more power and better fuel consumption, engineers developed fuel injection in their quest forbetter burning engines. Smaller droplets are easier to burn and if you could find some way to make the fueldroplets more attractive to oxygen molecules then you can further improve the combustion process. AJapanese company appears to have cracked this problem.Max Power Advantage is selling a simple device called Eco-Charge, which consists of a metal strippunched full of triangular flaps. One side is coated rare-earth substance and the whole device is thenstrapped onto a vehicles’ air filter. As air passes over the rare earth, it gets ionized and the charged airparticles then find themselves attracted to the fine fuel mist in the engine. This helps the fuel to releasemore of its potential energy and the result is improved energy efficiency. Max Power claims efficiency ofaround 10% - 15% but a few owners claim that they are getting around 25% improvement in their fuelefficiency and a noticeable leap in power.BetterPower,LessFuelThe Eco-Charge Advantage1. Reduced black smokeAs much as 75% of black smoke will be reduced for diesel engines2. Reduced Hydro Carbon (HC) and Carbon Monoxide (CO)Toxic substances such as hydro carbon and carbon monoxide will bereduced for petrol engines3. Extra power when drivingThe engine responses in a light, quick yet powerful manner - torquepower increases4. Fuel efficiencySince fuel is efficiently converted into energy, mileage per liter isprolonged - the level of dirt in engine oil is decreased5. Cleaner engineThe inhalation-of-air, exhaust valve, cylinder and piston head in an engine can be kept clean byreducing carbon monoxide6. Lasts up to 200,000 kmEco-Charge is cost efficient because it works efficiently up to a travel distance of 200,000 km!Attention business owners and operation managers,For more information, or to try out how effective is Eco-Charge*,please contact us at 03-7803 9500 for an appointment.* Free demonstration will be conducted.Duration period: 1 – 3 months.
