Sharky tea infuser

toma — Sun, 31 Jan 2010 02:26:45 +0000

“Sharky is a floating tea-infuser that looks like a shark fin marauding through the dangerous waters of your tea mug that simultaneously releases streamers of steeped tea that look suspiciously like the detritus after a nasty shark attack.”

I want one! Don’t you?

EyeStop Concept – Bus stop from the future

toma — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 20:43:05 +0000

Imagine if your local bus stop allowed you to check your e-mail, share community information on a digital message board or monitor the local air quality? And perhaps best of all, what if it could tell you the exact location of that bus that you’re waiting for? Massachusetts Institute of Technology opens the door to the future with this bus shelter 2.0 named – EyeStop Concept.

The EyeStop is partially covered with touch-sensitive e-INK and screens, and features state-of-the art sensing technologies and a variety of interactive services. Riders can plan a bus trip on an interactive map, surf the Web, monitor their real-time exposure to pollutants and use their mobile devices as an interface with the bus shelter. They can also post ads and community announcements to an electronic bulletin board at the bus stop, enhancing the EyeStop’s functionality as a community gathering space.

In addition to displaying information, the bus stop also acts as an active environmental sensing node, powering itself
through sunlight and collecting real-time information about the surrounding environment.

Unlike the typical mass-produced bus stop, EyeStop is designed to fit the physical characteristics of its surroundings. A computer program generates a unique design for each bus stop, providing both optimal sheltering for users and maximum sunlight exposure for power generation. Simple materials like steel, glass and gray local stone (“pietra serena,” as it is called locally), together with its minimalist design, will help the EyeStop blend into the historic urban fabric of Florence, or wherever else it might be deployed.

EyeStop was developed at the SENSEable City Laboratory by Giovanni de Niederhausern, Shaocong Zhou, Assaf Biderman and Carlo Ratti, in collaboration with the Province of Florence and the local public transportation authority ATAF.

Can’t wait to see this on the streets.

Air Umbrella

Imagine an umbrella which you don’t need to close every time when you go inside or you need to open every time you go outside. Sometimes you feel that your umbrella is too big or too long or even to heavy for you. With this design one all this problems can be solved.

With this umbrella the barrier between you and the raindrops is a sheet of steady air that is blown out by this hollow pipe. You can control the length of the stick and the size of the air canopy, depending how many friends you are taking with you.

Pretty great.

They are saying that this kind of umbrella is eco-friendly! But what about batteries for this umbrella? Are they eco-friendly?

Outlet multiplier and Recoiling Socket In The Wall

Outlet multiplier and Recoiling Socket In The Wall

From time to time most of us get stuck with a bunch of cables laying on the floor, all over the house. Or always looking for extra outlet multiplier. This two designs will hopefully solve this problems.

Letout Outlet by Damjan Stankovic and

Recoiling Socket In The Wall by Meysam Movahedi

Letout Outlet

Keep your electric outlets organized and safe while removing unnecessary clutter. Never have to search for an outlet multiplier again. Keep it simple, with only one push.… more By pressing the top of the outlet you release the rest of it’s body and the remaining outlets that were hidden inside the wall. Push back when you don’t need additional outlets.

Recoiling Socket In The Wall

Rambler Socket maybe the solution most of us are looking for as far as extension cords are concerned. I mean if you hit “Extension Cord” on YD, for most of the posts you will see readers nitpicking and finding fault with the design. Here’s why Rambler Socket will knock your socks off. It’s this 1.5 meters cord that unfurls from a cavity behind its socket. When you don’t need extensions, it’s neatly tucked away. When you need it, simply pinch the sides and wind it out.

After the deed is done, you simply give the wire a gentle tug (activates a spring mechanism), and it recoils back into place. Ideal for using with electronics like vacuum cleaners, hair driers etc where you don’t need extension cords on a full-time basis.
