Savior In Deep Waters
Jun 25th, 2009 by admin

Generally the focus is always on rapid action response kinda systems that help provide relief during disasters. The flat-pack recovery Rescue Boat seen here is not for rapid response but for post-disaster scenarios. The focus is on a systematic, reliable vessel that will help recover cargo and victims. It is stored and transported in its stackable 9″-deep form, with pontoon tubes detached; till its services are required.

The pontoon tubes add stability to the design and are attached when the boat is set in the water. The sidewalls fold up to become handrails and rotate further to become ladders, to help up stranded folks. Depending upon the retrievals, it can either be used as a flat space for cargo or pull up the foldable seats to accommodate 26 pax.

A tent stored in the floor compartment comes in handy as temporary accommodation, when you bring ashore the vessel.

Facts and figures:

- L’ x W’ x H’: 14 x 8 x .75 (w/tubes 14 x 8 x 1.75)(w/tent 14 x 8 x 5.75)
- Material considerations: heavy-duty biopolymer (or aluminum) for boat body and pontoon tubes, steel sidewalls. Wooden or plastic oars, plastic or aluminum benches, canvas or synthetic tent, rubberized metal tent poles.
- Seating capacity: 10 comfortably, 20 full capacity, 26 maximum
- Sleeping capacity: 8 comfortably, 14 maximum

Don’t Break The Piggybank
Jun 24th, 2009 by admin

In a somewhat unusual design by Derrik Wang, the Piggybank is one where you want to keep your money safe. This design is to help people save money and not spend it. The piggybank has a clever way of keeping you out and guarding your stash of money. If broken open, not only will your money come out, but the disgusting guts of the pig will also, thus convincing the owner to leave their money in peace. A surely unique way to saving money!

Intelligent Wristwatch Gaming
Jun 24th, 2009 by admin

It is only every few years that a new hand-held video game system gets invented. They keep getting smaller, having better graphics, and being basically the same amount of weird and bulky to carry with. What Wilson Song was tasked with doing was making a gamer that not only utilized the best in chips for graphics, but also stored a pen, earbuds, and had the ability to become smaller for easy carrying. Peel and see!

What a pretty looking little system we have here! Wilson Song this is just what I’d be using if it were real! The “Samsung WM” has earbuds and pen that clip intuitively into the back panel, a giant screen, and the ability to be tossed on the wrist like one of those slap-bracelets from the 1980s. The controls work with new motion-capture technology and a camera in the back to see what precisely your thumbs and feet are up to.

And it’ made of gold! Or regular materials.

Baby wipes can not only clean your baby’s bottoms but can be used for cleaning up various spills too.

Clean your Keyboard - Often dirt can get accumulated in your keyboard. Cleaning them with solutions won’t help at all. Sometimes shaking out the keyboard can get some dirt out. The dirt left can be removed with Baby wipes. Use it to remove dirt, spills and other gunk. But make sure you unplug the keyboard from the computer.

Clean up spills - Baby wipes can help you in cleaning up spills. Petrol spills can be easily removed with baby wipes. You can also use them to clean your hands temporarily.

Clean your bathroom - Cleaning can never be easier than this. The next time you want to clean your bathroom, do it with Baby wipes. Rub the tiles with a dry baby wipe. The stains will be gone. If they are a bit hard, wipe a few more times rigorously.

Difference Between Life And Death Is A Light
Jun 14th, 2009 by admin

As if the tragedy of losing a dear one to an accident is not enough, the reason of poor street lighting just doesn’t justify the situation. A simple jog in the twilight, walking your pooch at dusk, do these circumstances warrant an accident due poor lighting or visibility? Better safe than sorry…. get visible dear! NR4 Illuminated Running Apparel is attire that integrates luminescence into the outfit, making it safer for you to take that evening run.

The clothing uses Electro Luminescent (EL) wires to add the flexibility factor to it, and the “moisture-wicking stretch fabric” won’t let you drench due to overheating. To power the lights there is a flexible, rechargeable battery that comes with a standard wall socket. You simply need to position this lightweight pack on your upper back to center its weight. Wear this, and you are ready to bedazzle the evening with the lights on your clothes!

A working prototype of this apparel has also been created and I do sincerely hope that it makes it to the shelves.

Flying hanging furniture
Jun 13th, 2009 by admin

Moving habits is an experimental installation where by knobs are placed on almost everything. Normal convention solicits us to pull on anything with a knob just we’ve been conditioned to do so. But what happens when pulling on a knob yields unexpected surprises?

It takes just one movement for us to open or close doors, draw the curtains, shift chairs, operate light switches and use drawers. In this project the drawers behave slightly different than we’re used to. Some open to different directions, others stay attached to the wall and their body moves instead. Some drawers stay open while others don’t do anything at all. Spending just 10 minutes in a space like that can challenge what you consider to be normal, turning perceptions upside down. Intriguing yes but purposeful? No.

A Really Really Portable Iron
Jun 13th, 2009 by admin

I remember when I was around 10, traveled with parents and we were struggle with the iron, even we did bring our own. Hotel irons generally suck unless you’re staying in some 4-5 star palace, so weary travelers usually bring their own irons. They’re becoming smaller, thinner, and lighter but the simply and aptly named Portable Iron unfolds from a slim boxed inclosure by rail mechanism. It don’t get more portable than this. The double heating plates are spring loaded between them perfect to slip collars and cuffs into. It’s battery powered for true mobility too. Now argue amongst yourselves about the feasibility of this concept.
