The crowd-sourcing website Kickstarter blasted into the media when some visionary in Ohio managed to raise over $50,000 to make potato salad. It turns out that not every project is as bizarre. The site proves to be the ultimate fundraiser, backing the film Veronica Mars and the first consumer 3D printer. Check out 10 live projects that might just be the next best thing.

1. Laser Headphones

The project is currently working toward developing iPhone support, as well as motion and heartbeat activated pulsations. For $149, you can be one of the first to wear a pair in July. Your walk to class could get a lot more colorful.

2. Bootleg Botanicals

Have you ever just wished that you could take your cheap booze to the next level? That’s what Bootleg Botanical’s Organic Alcohol Infusion Revolution wants to bring to your liquor cabinet. The Oregon based company has developed unique blends of 100 percent natural spices and herbs that turn base grain alcohols into bar quality deliciousness. You might still need a chaser, but flavored liquor certainly beats cheap vodka.Co-creator Melanie Belshee said, “We’ve found that by infusing your liquor you can achieve the flavor you want without the need to mix it if you don’t want to.” Current flavors include absinthe, bathtub gin no. 9 and cinnamon whiskey. With a little more funding, the world could enjoy coconut rum and mojito among other delights.

Providing 2.4 amps per device, the octagon-shaped wall-charger is also the fastest available on the market. You don’t have to passive aggressively unplug your roommate’s iPad anymore (unless you want to).
