Amazing Geek Toy: The Van De Graaff Levitation Wand

October 30, 2008 by Geeks are Sexy | 19 comments

I just ordered this today for my son from Thinkgeek. Ok, ok, not ONLY for my son. God, I can’t believe I’m 34 and still buying toys like these. I think I’m a lost cause.

This battery powered wand features a mini Van de Graaff generator inside. Push a button on the handle and the static charge built up in the wand causes the included 3D mylar shapes to levitate at your command. You can also do some cool tricks causing the shapes to jump back and forth from your hand to the wand. Not quite Harry Potter… but hey, we do our best for you.

it’s a shame that thinkgeek products are high on price and low on quality. wonder how many days the wand lasts before malfunction.

That’s amazing. I love thinkgeek, they have some crazy items on there :D. And don’t feel too bad, I’m still buying those crazy toys myself, and i’m well past ‘that’ age.
