Pipe Organ Puzzle Safe Desk<\/a><\/Strong>
\nThe creator claims: “It is quite likely this is the coolest desk in the world!” Yeah, it really is that awesome. It isn’t steam powered, but it’s everything else you love about SteamPunk and puzzles. It’s an all-wood desk that uses wood pipes to play music. You push in the drawers to get air moving through the pipes, and if you play the correct tune, it opens a super-secret compartment. The desk has a “logic board” that lets you set the tune by turning a large number of all-wood screws. Plus the drawers have tiny puzzles of their own to open other secret compartments and other drawers.<\/p>\n

With plenty of snark. But really, you’re buying it so you can play with a fully interactive tesseract.<\/p>\n

A Dutch company has created a commercial prototype for a hybrid car and helicopter and airplane. The rotors unfold.
