Tembo Trunks are collapsible silicone speakers for the iPod
Tembo Trunks are a pair of non-powered, collapsible, almost indestructible iPhone speakers, invented by a pair of outdoorsy Australians, Mike and Scott Norrie. They came up with the idea after traveling through Africa and being frustrated at not being able to kick back with some tunes during night in the veldt.
The Tembo Trunks are collapsible silicone rubber cones, and they work as horn-speakers, stretching the sound from the little white earbuds and amplifying it to 80dB. This, according to the SFU, Canada, is the same sound levels as you?d hear from a car at 25 feet. In other words, enough volume to drift out across the African plains as you enjoy a beer and watch the sun go down.
Because they are made from rubber, they can be collapsed and stuffed into a bag, and are almost impossible to break (the demo video shows them being run over by a car). The rear hole has a couple of lugs to secure the ?buds, and then you just let the speakers lie on the table, ground or a convenient nearby rock.
Mike and Scott are, like all smart inventors these days, hawking their design through Kickstarter. They need $10,000 to get production started, and the minimum pledge is $39, which will get you a pair of Trunks when they ship.
