Amabrush
Amabrush is an innovative electronic toothbrush for the lazy. The teeth cleaning process is almost completely automated. She doesn't even need to drive along her teeth, just put the brush in her mouth, press the button and wait 10 seconds.
Such impressive results were achieved with the help of a clever system of vibration motors, as well as a specially selected shape and special material with many micro channels. The device has enough battery charge for about a month.
The developers assure that in the development of Amabrush they worked closely with medical institutions, and their technology for automatic teeth cleaning is approved by dentists. Although I personally have great doubts about the idea of a ten-second toothbrushing.

Ki ecobe
Nowadays, you won't surprise anyone with modular smartphones. But I still haven't come across modular shoes.
The modular Ki ecobe system offers several interesting advantages at once. Firstly, it reduces the cost of shoes and greatly increases the speed of its production. Second, it makes shoe repair easier. Just order a worn part and your sneakers will be as good as new again. Thirdly, it allows you to get shoes with a unique design by choosing the color of each element. The total number of different combinations exceeds 10,000. Fourthly, sneakers are suitable not only for the street, but also for the home – the inner part of the shoe can be detached freely from the outer one, turning outdoor shoes into comfortable house slippers.
The idea is interesting, the whole question is how such shoes will fit on the foot.

InkCase i7 Plus
Before us is another version of the cover for iPhone with an E-ink screen. The diagonal of the additional display has become even larger, the software has become even smarter, the case has become better to protect the device from falls and has received protection from splashes. From one charge of the built-in battery, E-ink can work for about five days.
The idea is far from new, but interesting. And the implementation, judging by indirect indications, did not disappoint.

Spinneroo
Honestly, what the spinners are for, I still didn't understand for myself. Someone assures that spinning the spinner is calming. Someone shows different tricks with him. And someone just mindlessly follows fashion.
Spinneroo can do much more than a classic spinner. A wireless speaker is built into the middle of the device, LEDs are located on the 'wings', with the help of which you can write something on a rotating spinner. In general, this is a real smart spinner. If, of course, these words 'smart' and 'spinner' can be in the same sentence at all.

Moovy bag
Backpacks have been entrenched on Kickstarter for a long time. Unlike many large companies, the authors of Kickstarter projects are not afraid to experiment, embedding everything that is possible in the backpack and endowing it with additional functions. Sometimes it works well, sometimes it doesn't.
The Moovy Bag is an example of a backpack that is both beautiful and extremely sophisticated. It has everything – a built-in battery, a set of adapters, a card reader, a Wi-Fi module, a solar battery, an organizer, many special compartments and a bunch of everything else.
Looks promising. And I would have taken a closer look at it, if not for its price.

POWERUP DART
This is the third generation of the radio controlled paper airplane. Initially, a plastic axle with a motor and a bluetooth module was simply attached to the paper base. Then the developer added VR support, allowing you to observe the flight of an airplane in a first-person view. And now – I taught a paper model to perform aerobatics.
For my taste, this is one of the simplest, but at the same time the funniest Kickstarter projects. Those who used paper airplanes in childhood will understand.

Gigaboom & Macro.II
Well, in the end – a scattering of speakers. First of all, the Gigaboom & Macro.II is a powerful portable speaker with an impressive level of protection that can be thrown from 30 meters, drowned in water and buried on a sandy beach.
I don’t know why all this is needed, but many people believe that protected equipment has its own charm. And the sound, they say, is good. Two pairs of speakers with a total power of 50 W and two amplifiers are responsible for it.

Mini troll
The creators of this column decided that it did not need the speakers we were used to at all. This resonant speaker sounds only when it is fixed on the surface of some object – a table, a window, and so on. Mounting is carried out using a vacuum suction cup.
The developers claim that this allows for very high quality bass and midrange, which other compact speakers cannot boast.

Zeppy
The creators of Zeppy went even further. This device allows you to literally feel the sound on your own skin. After all, this is not only a column, but also a neck and head massager.
The authors of the project say that the sensations from such music are unforgettable and strongly recommend trying Zeppy in business. Although, if desired, the device can be used as the most common speaker. Moreover, several devices can be combined into one common network.
