Chad 4th gadget for his new 'crappy corner' theme for November.

Chad polled our loyal Patreon members and asked them to vote on his 'cheap gadget theme' for November. The winner was “Cheap Breakfast Gadgets”!

Chad's 4^th gadget is Flipping Fantastic!Here's some of what Amazon says about it: Flips multiple pancakes at the same time and without the mess. Just place in preheated pan add batter and let them brown then simply lift and flip. Food grade silicone. Fast, easy and fun way to make perfect pancakes every time!

And Chad's take:This was one heck of a labor intensive gadget. Not only that, Chad had to buy two additional frying pans to find one that Flipping Fantastic would fit. And then he made a couple of batches of really horrible looking pancakes. Chad's verdict? It's 'flipping horrible!” Watch this week's show to see a full demo of this 'As Seen On TV' product! And then watch him make perfect round pancakes without any device!

We’d love to include your video in an upcoming Giz Wiz Show, so here's what we're looking for! Your home shot video – 2 to 3 minutes long, in any of the following categories:

I bought a piece of crap: Did you buy something you ended up hating? We won't get you a refund, but we might be able to give a platform to vent your disappointment. Remember, "family friendly" language applies.

-

I invented this! Did you invent something? (Or did a friend or relative invent something.) We can't market it for you, but we can help get the word out. Show us what it is, and how it works. Even if it's a prototype, you can get our (and the audience) reactions. No professional ads please.

-

My Gadget Warehouse: Okay, so you don't have a warehouse. It doesn't matter. Just tell us about your favorite old gadget(s). When and where you bought it, and why you're still hanging on to it.

-

My Favorite Gadget (favorite old, or favorite new): Show us what it is, tell us what it does and why you love, or loved it! It can be a new gadget you just bought too.

-

Post them on YouTube and send us the link! We'll do the rest. (Or possibly nothing, but that's unlikely.) Remember, videos should be just 2 to 3 minutes long! Low production value is fine, but we should be able to hear you and see you! If we select and show your video on The Giz Wiz you’ll earn a tiny amount of fame (hopefully). And if you live in the US, you'll also get an autographed 35-year-old Alfred E. Neuman picture and a MAD surprise (most likely the current issue of MAD.) But no matter where you live, I canemail an autographed to you Alfred E. Neuman photo if we show your video. Just print it out, frame it, or just hang it up and no one will know it's a copy. We've tested it out and fans say they look terrific!

All show submissions go to mail@gizwiz.tv

We play 'What The Heck Is It? with the photo in this Letter of the week. Don't read any further if you want to take a guess. The answer is the bottom of the letter.

Hi DickDe,

The business was a toaster museum and is now a breakfast/lunch cafe complete with all the antique toasters and coffee pots. The business name is Toastworks, 5th Ave., Stewart, BC Canada. Many of these businesses close by late September and reopen in May.

The cylinder houses an electric heater. The ball at the top is on the end of a skewer and the metal cap is also attached to it. The appliance is about 18” tall and the roasting chamber is about 4-5” in diameter. Plug it in, stick one wiener onto the skewer and lower it into the cylinder and roast until done. There is a 2” hole in the bottom of the cylinder to presumable allow any drippings to fall onto a saucer placed under the appliance. I don’t know how one would otherwise clean this thing. Since you could cook only 1 hot dog at a time, I doubt this was a big seller.

And here's what it is ---------------------------------

The Giz Wiz Show 1701, November 16th 2018 Independent Show #184

The Giz Wiz Show is far into it's 13th year of production, and the fourth year of Independent Production! (The very first show was February 20th, 2006.) Thanks to our wonderful Patreon supporters we continue on! If it wasn't for them, the Giz Wiz Show would be gone. If you'd like to support OMGchad & DickDe in our independent venture (we pay for everything ourselves, including travel) just click the Patreon link at the top of our show web page: http://www.gizwiz.tv.  You can also contribute just once via the PayPal link that's there too. And thank you for doing that! Our show wouldn't exist without our viewer's support, but a bit more support would be a big help. Thanks from OMGchad & DickDe!)

This week we check out three new, unique gadgets from CES 2019 Unveiled --- a preview of things we'll see at CES Las Vegas January, 2019.

Wash your dishes, clean your hats, cook your dinner --- all in one really small appliance! Yep, that's what the company says.

The Heatworks Tetra, an internet-connected compact countertop dishwasher requires no plumbing and can be placed and used anywhere with a standard electrical outlet. With a smaller capacity than the average dishwasher Tetra holds two full place settings or 10 plates or 12 pint glasses. There are no faucet connections required and water is loaded by hand so users know exactly how much water is being used - about a half a gallon per load. Tetra is transparent so you can see exactly where in the dishwashing cycle it is. It's powered by Heatworks' patented Ohmic Array Technology. It does not use traditional metal heating elements that can rust and scale over time. Instead, through graphite electrodes and advanced electronic controls, the naturally occurring minerals in water are excited, directly and efficiently heating the water. But wait, there's a LOT more! The company says because of the precise temperature control you can easily use the Tetra to sanitize baby products, wash plastic storage containers without melting, cook seafood, clean fruit, or run a load of wine glasses on a gentler cycle. All this in just 10 minutes a load. Now one of their press releases says Tetra will cost under $300 and will be available for purchase in late 2018. – Well it is late 2018, and at CES Unveiled 2019 we learned we would see a working model at CES 2019. So it seems the 'on sale' date is still far away.

Make Drinking Water Out Of Air!

At CES Unveiled 2019, which place November 8, 2018 in NYC,I drank clear, cool water from a machine that made it by magic. Well, not really magic, but it did make the drinking water out of air! The new technology, developed by Watergen, an Israel-based tech company, is currently being showcased in Vietnam’s capital city Hanoi. Here's they explain what happens inside their Watergen device. The atmospheric water generator called Genny, takes in ambient air through a filter, and cools at its dew point, extracting water through condensation. The water is then purified, mineralized, and is ready and safe to drink. The spokesperson told me the prototype unit was producing five gallons of clean drinking water per day, but the company expected the final production unit would produce eight gallons a day. It comes with a built-in reservoir and a water treatment system. Large scale units are designed to provide water to approximately 2500 people per day, and can be installed on a rooftop and connected directly to the building’s water grid. The machines only need electric to operate and can be installed anywhere. A mobile water generator could provide drinking water on the go anywhere at any time. The company also points out that the use of atmospheric water generators could drastically reduce plastic waste. The home unit price has not be set, but it's expected to be less than $1500.
