Multipurpose Transformable Bike

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:44:00 +0000

How many "kinds" of bikes you are aware of? To this question, you may answer about bikes of various companies of different models and features and specifications. What I am asking is how many kinds of bikes you know that serves for different purposes. Do not get dumbstruck. You listened correctly. Don't confuse that how can a bike performs different functions. But it can. If you still don't believe me, follow up my entry. Though it is named as a bike, it is actually a cycle which can serves not only as a cycle but also as a shopping cart.

To solve the problem of space and occupancy, Hyuk-Jae Chang puts forward the Ville Urban Folding Bicycle Concept. The vehicle, though named as a bike, can also be transformed into a shopping cart via simple folding. As a result, you can directly take the Ville into the grocery after you get there on the bicycle.

It is reported that the Ville has won the Bronze Prize at IDEA Design Awards 2010. Congratulations, Hyuk-Jae Chang!

Fastest Car On The Earth

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Wed, 01 Sep 2010 10:06:00 +0000

So many race cars have been evolved since the industrial revolution. Youngsters and racers are very much passionate and curious about the race cars, their designs, and their functioning. That is the reason so many games built on the theme racing like Need for Speed are very much popularized. People are curious and anxious about the mileage and the pick up specifications of so many cars and vehicles. The time has come to know about the fastest moving vehicle on the earth ever. I think it's a feast for the racers and speed lovers.

Another incredible fact is that this car does not uses conventional energy sources like petrol and diesel. Instead, this car runs on Lithium ion battery which is eco friendly to atmosphere. The average speed of this vehicle is 293 miles per hour.

Tailpiece:

This car is not manufactured by any car manufacturing company, but it was designed by Students from Ohio State University.

Polaroid Camcorder Concept

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 15:18:00 +0000

Every one knows Polaroid camera, one of the oldest cameras. It gives photographs instantly. When a snap is taken from a Polaroid camera, the snapshot is printed on the photo paper and generates a photo. As these are just a snapshots, it is possible to get a photograph. But what about a video or a recording? This question paved the way to a new idea that is Polaroid Camcorder. It is just a concept which helps for future innovations based on this idea.

It is an attractive camera that could print movies on a substrate that mimics traditional Polaroid film paper, using the built-in movie printer. The compact size of the movie films also means an easy transportation, enabling the users to take them everywhere in the wallets or pockets. Though having no power buttons, the Movie Polaroid Camera could be easily charged by giving it some shakes, and that’s also used to juice up the films for viewing.

Swinging Clock

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 14:48:00 +0000

You may say that swinging clock is an old concept which has been applied since years, a mechanism which works using a small pendulum. But this clock what I am showing you is a bit different. The traditional clocks has a swinging part supported by the stationary clock What I mean is the clock is stationary but the hanging part swings. We have several designs in this regard. But the designers have come up with another concept, the dial plate of the clock keeps swinging and the internal structure remains stationary as in the picture shown and its hands rotate slowly.

These are released in the market in different colors. If you die for creativity and feel that cost is nothing to innovation, you can buy it for just $19.99.

Computer peripherals are taking their shape differently day by day. The era where a Mouse functions differently have been passed. Instead, mice which looks differently are creating hype in the computer market. We have got a different mouse which serves for multi purposes. This mouse from Microsoft works not only as a normal mouse but also as a digital recognition pen used to make various design prototypes. As you see the mouse, it is designed specifically for designers. This is a wireless mouse which can be used for laptops. It also functions as a pen sensor which can create 3D designs. This mouse which adopts eVouse concept is defineatly a specifical gadget.

This mouse is very much convenient in operating with a laptop. Also we have been using tablet devises to make our design needs simpler upto now. But from now, we can switch to a mouse to satisfy our design needs. This evouse mouse paves the way to create design prototypes enabled by a sensor in its front.

Weird Tricycles

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Tue, 24 Aug 2010 04:59:00 +0000

I think this is the first step in the field of cycles design. Till now we don't see any progress in cycles design. But new models are arriving with slight modifications but have no complete change in design. Time has come to see and also experience a new way of cycling. Having understood our intentions, designer Sergio Garcia designed new prototypes of Tricycles in the market. These look not only stunning but also weird. These are the two models that are designed by him recently. One is the two way riding tricycle and another one is totally different one, which connects the seat and the handlebar using a round metal.

These are the prototypes for both kids and teenagers who love to be creative and innovative. We have to wait and see how the people on roads reacts to these weird cycles!!

Wind up the Mouse to make it function!

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Sun, 22 Aug 2010 13:28:00 +0000

Looks like all the computer manufacturers are reviving their childhood memories. They seem to be fascinating about the toys which they played in their childhood, the toys which work by winding them with a key. It is the mechanism to initiate a mechanical rotor in order to make it move with a certain speed. Logitech, which is renowned for its computer peripherals came with a innovative mouse which works based on this keying principle. This is a wireless mouse which works with no power. The name of this mouse is Sustail. So this mouse works only on mechanical energy wirelessly. So just wind the Sustail to make it ready for work.

Transformable Electrical Towers

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Sat, 21 Aug 2010 13:48:00 +0000

Designers cannot afford to see things around them commonly. They make changes to every aspect and everything. How the electrical towers looks like? In the shape of Eiffel tower right? All these towers look alike with heavy iron grids with a few meters height. Are you sure that the present existing towers will move? Or will they change positions? No. But the designers have changed the concept entirely. The new towers they designed looks like human figures resembling giants. Another dumbstruck aspect is that these towers are capable of changing their shape and size and position according to the environmental conditions. If you still don't believe me, check out this entry.

These wonderful architectures change their structures according to the environmental conditions. When the lines need to pass above the hills or mountains, these towers stretch to their full height. For narrow lanes, for subways, for trains, for every purpose they modify their shape.

Digital Reflex Camera

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Thu, 19 Aug 2010 16:35:00 +0000

Many miniature cameras are being developed by so many manufacturers across the world. We are currently experiencing the digital era which has all the products digitized. And the cameras are eye catching and awesome with stunning features and unbelievable technologies. Starting from an ordinary flashlight camera which is capable of taking a little snap of the view to the highly featured digital camera which can capture the distance of hundreds of meters and face recognition technologies, we crossed many kinds of digicams. And this one I am showing you is a digital reflex camera (DSLR) which can create you an entirely different experience of photography.

How To Use:

The exciting feature of this camera is, you need not hold the camera at your eye. Instead, just keep it near your stomach or hang it to your neck like a tourist. This is possible only because the camera is curved at an angle so that it can show you images at your knee level. Another one is, the users need not bend over the camera to see what you have recorded. You can sit comfortably and watch like you watch mobile phone. And lastly, when you turn the camera, its interface screen turns the image to display mode and the image will be rotated 180 degrees for the observers.

New generation Scale/Ruler

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:48:00 +0000

How a ruler looks like? Even a kid can answer this question or he may even show his own ruler from his stationary box!! Every student needs a ruler for his academic purposes from KG to PG. Trend has been changed. The new trend is making things micro sized. From computers to televisions we are obtaining micro versions. The same concept is applied here in the case of a ruler. What if you can draw lines of 30 centimeters or even 50 centimeters with a ruler of 4 centimeters length?? Sounds strange??

Designers modified the size and shape of the ruler concept and brought us a simplified ruler which is very compact, impressive, portable, cost effective and even eco friendly. This one I guess is a trend setter.

How can we use this?

Every one knows a geometry compass which is used to draw circles and measure angles. You can see the compass in the above picture too. We insert the pencil into the compass and fit to the position and use it. In the same way, this instrument is also used. Just insert the pencil into it and you are done. You can draw straight lines now with your free hand. Nor ruler is required. As it is bent to 45 degrees angle, it serves the purpose. You may think it cannot measure the distance like the normal ruler. You can set the measurement on the screen at the top and draw lines accordingly!

Intelligent Hammer

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Sat, 14 Aug 2010 15:17:00 +0000

Many of face a problem while hammering a nail into the wall. The nail does not dig into the wall easily making us intolerable. We often damage our wall with too many holes because we could not identify the proper spot on the wall to hammer the nail. We generally use jumpers to make a hole before hammering the nail actually.

Fortunately, a company detected our difficulties and came up with a solution to that. They designed a hammer which is "Intelligent". You may think what a hammer can do with our difficulties. It can scan the wall for the appropriate spot to insert the nail into the wall easily. Take a look!

All this hammer will do is that, it has a sensor on the tail side which will emit some rays which sense the obstacles through the wall. If it founds no obstacles, the LED which is provided at the back side will blink and we should notice that is the appropriate place to drive the nail through the wall. Coll isn't it?

And this cool gadget costs just $ 29.98.

Till now we have seen programmed Robots which will work as we program them. We have came across artificial intelligence robots too which will act by analyzing our actions and moves accordingly. For this to happen, scientists keep a variety of actions in their database so they can retrieve according to the situation!!

This is past. The upcoming Robos work based on motion sensor programming! I mean, they work along with our actions. If you can see the picture below, you can notice people moving hands and according to their movements, the robot plays. These robots are termed as Roch 'em sock' em Robots. As we have seen in some movies and videos, you can control your robots with your actions.

Do you remember Gulliver Travels?? Giant World

noreply@blogger.com (Sainath) — Thu, 12 Aug 2010 10:33:00 +0000

Guys I suppose many of you are aware of Gulliver's Travels, a fictional novel which is one of the bestseller of 19th century. In that novel Gulliver explored the dark continents of the globe where people are giants and even the plants and nature too.

Todays' designers remembered those and crept to strange idea of designing a unique giant world and experience the savage of it..

If you still don't believe what I am saying, take a look at these..

After looking at these I hope you are wondering who is behind this innovation. I cant wait revealing him. He is Robert Therrien. Say thanks to him;-)
