This robot sucks!

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 09:18 AM PDT

Literally! ERO is an award-winner concrete deconstruction robot designed to disassemble concrete structures while preserving the material for reuse in new prefab buildings. It uses high-powered water jets in its moveable arm to crack the surface and break up the slab, and then sucks up the mixed debris. In the reservoir, it separates the mixture, and creates a labeled, packaged asset that can be instantly transferred to the factory for remolding into usable blocks. No dust, no waste!

Power Of P

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 07:27 AM PDT

Apparently the Urea in your pee reacts with the hydrogen ions in water and releases electrons. If we go by this scientific information then there is a possibility of your pee generating electricity. This harnessed energy can be used to power the sensors that trigger flushing of the loo and perhaps the entire lighting set up of the bathroom. I have no validation to this theory but if it can be done, then someone please step on it. Otherwise a lot of pee is just going down the drain for nothing!

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 02:31 AM PDT

You have read about BNTO here so I am not going to waste my ink on it. Instead I am going to focus on how you can use it to stay fit and maybe lose a couple of pounds in the long run. When hunger strikes on the go, we usually end up gorging on a Mc D or Pizza Hut, in short greasy unhealthy snacks. BNTO gives you the advantage of carrying your own sumptuous snack and dip combination, thus a healthier option than many. WIN your very own BNTO NOW!!

Four BNTO's are up for grabs, answer the following question to win one:

  • What are your favorite snack combinations that you will use with BNTO?

(Mine is a given – Nachos n Dip!)

Contest Rules

  • Standard Contest Rules Apply
  • 4 BNTO to be won
  • Contest closes: 8th August, midnight PST

I have has to battle my bulge for many years and for whatever reason, I have realized that every tiny modification to your diet can have a big impact in the long run. Bringing healthy snacks to work or school, plus saving on money by carrying your lunch from home, are two of the most significant impacts of using the BNTO. Tasty combos are just an incidental by-product.

If you need meal combo inspiration, then follow Cuppow's Instagram Feed. They keep posting superb combos and mouthwatering treats!

2-Wheels, No Tip!

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Gyrobike is a twist on the electric scooter that utilizes mechanical energy storage and gyroscope technology that allows the rider to navigate in an entirely new way. The system uses the principle of reverse block connection with heavy turners operated by a single control lever. The driver adjusts the lever to the manipulate the scooters lean and turning. With the lever in a vertical position, the vehicle will stay upright, but when positioned to the left or right, the angle changes accordingly.

Hide your ugly AC unit!

Posted: 06 Aug 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Designers Daniel LiCalzi & Paul Genberg got sick of looking at all of the ugly air conditioners sticking out of people’s windows in the summer, so they’ve created this clever cover that gives the unit a makeover! Babilawn, inspired by the Hanging Gardens of Babylon, allows the user to express their own personal style in the form of a mini lawn fit with a tiny white picket fence, daisies, and even a garden gnome! It instantly turns an eye sore into an adorable window ornament!

Babilawn is lightweight, easy to install, and fits any air conditioner! It comes in three sizes each made up of multiples of a single 7.5″ x 10.5″ grass section. Each section has it’s own super strong rare earth magnet that keeps it secured to the top the the air conditioner. This keeps each grass section lightweight and allows Babilawn to be arranged to fit any size air conditioner. Fod odd-size units, Babilawn can be cut down to size with a regular pair of scissors. To avoid overheating or mold growth, each grass section is raised approximately 1 inch off the top of the AC to allow proper ventilation.
