Make an IPod Mega Helmet

iPod Mega Helmet

The iPod “Mega Helmet” was made by duct-taping a loud Radio Shack megaphone to an old motorcycle helmet, allowing its wearer to broadcast their taste in music to everyone in earshot. It also includes a microphone in the chin strap.

Its makers advise: “Go play softball wearing the helmet. It is very good for antagonizing the pitcher, and trash-talking in general. The helmet allows both for amplification of your voice, and playback of mp3s from the iPod.”

In the comments, someone else notes: “I’m Loving it! At the movie theater, not only can you block the view of the person sitting behind you but you can also make clever comments about the actors on the screen. Perhaps you could duct tape an egg timer to the side of the helmet to see how long it takes before you’re kicked out of the theater. I give it the maximum five star rating.”

    First of all my coment is about the Trident Gum…I Pod Nano
    Case. As cool and tricky that may be. Iv’e got one even better. I got my I Pod Nano for christmas and have created a way to listen to my I Pod in class without the teacher caring. By customizing it to fi in my calculator. Now my calculator doesnt work. because i had to rip out all the junk on the inside. But it appears as a normal calulator. I wont get in depth on how i made it but i will try to post them on the website here. Once you see it youll think i’m pretty slick. As for the trident case. The only purpose is to listen to it in school during class. So wouldnt it look a little weird having a wire coming out of your trident pack.

    PS>
    Dont e-mail me just post your coment on the website.
    My e-mil adress isnt working now.
