The Whoosher is a 3D printed device that by depressing the handle it emits a flammable aerosol from a small canister onto a tea light candle. The result is a vertical fireball and a distinctive whooshing sound. It has been known to fail in colder conditions and requires warming of the canister of gas to aid vaporising of the flammable gas in these cold environments.

A whoofle is a short pyrotechnic display that is a mainstay of Big Clive's live streams. The device used to produce whoofles is called a Whoofler. Whoofles traditionally happen on stream every hour on the half hour, i.e. at minute 30. They are often—but, unlike

A UPS is meant for supplying electrical power (typically mains voltage) when the grid fails - either completely or brown-outs. Some UPS types can condition the power so the voltage is in range of the nominal voltage (eg. 230V ±10%) There exist three main types of UPSes (and multiple variations thereof).
