Project NESM or as we like to call it ‘The Never Ending Slinky Machine’ is one of the most interesting project’s on Kickstarter, and has achieved its funding goal of £20,000 (approx. $34,000 USD) quite successfully (in just 4 days). This means for over 640 backers, each will receive their NESM in time for Christmas; or earlier in some cases (a September delivery).
The Slinky has always been a classic childhood toy for many of us and has been named the iconic ‘American Toy’. Many of us has owned one or several in our lifetime and found that we humbly got bored of them, broke them or still have one at home or on your desk to play with when times of inspiration is needed. Project NESM aims to bring the Slinky into the 21st century and get our Slinkys exercising on their very own tiny treadmill.

After all the popular technology website Gizmodo.com named this product “Humanities greatest achievement”.
