| Posted: 20 Jul 2012 09:28 AM PDT The Flow Caiman snowboard binding may be a more minimal approach than other designs on the market, but don’t be fooled, it packs greater functionality into a light design that aims to keep riders from constantly making pit stops to make adjustments. Every component has been redesigned to help the rider get in and out quickly and adjust the bindings without screwdrivers. See how it works! Key Features: Suspension system built into the base that provides cushioning Highback and baseplate within the same structure so they don’t need to be adjusted indpendently Collapsible binding that becomes nearly flat, allowing more boards to be stacked within a small space Preset settings for stance and angle Designer: Josh Cantor - No related posts.

| Posted: 20 Jul 2012 01:11 AM PDT As my airplane circled over Amsterdam, one of the most notable aspects of the landscape below was the number of modernized windmills dotting the fields. So when I came across the Harmowind project, it got me thinking, why can't we adapt to this free source of energy and become self-reliant? This particular windmill has been specifically designed for household use and can be installed in the backyard. It has the capacity to generate enough power for a single-family unit to use. As the designer explains, "Unlike the horizontal axis wind turbines, Harmowind is independent of wind direction. It can make use of wind turbulence to generate power, which happens very often in built-up area. Harmowind runs extreme quietly thanks to not only the vertical axis, but also the small rotation radius."

| Posted: 20 Jul 2012 01:01 AM PDT Imagine generating sound using colors instead of any conventional instrument! The Audible Colors project does just that! It is an audio-visual instrument where sound is generated based on the color detected by a web cam connected to a computer. Musical notes correspond to certain colors (red, green and blue). And just like the color wheel, when you mix the primary colors, the secondary colors produce different notes. Here are some key features:

| Posted: 20 Jul 2012 12:01 AM PDT Inspired by ancient art of origami, the Paper Lamp is a simple and beautiful design that is as fun to put together as it is environmentally conscious. The shade is made from sustainable and innovative bamboo paper that’s formed to the frame with wood pegs. The screwless, glueless wooden support is held together with interlocking parts that snap together and keep the structure sturdy. Designer: Milk Design Limited - Related posts:

| Posted: 20 Jul 2012 12:01 AM PDT Focusing on the user experience, the Brachion forklift was designed to make a tough and dangerous job a little easier and safer with enhanced functionality and ergonomics. The design features dual joysticks in place of a steering wheel and pedals, as well as a more open overall design for greater visibility. For added stability and safety, both the machine’s counterweight and cabin can be shifted. A totally electric drive also makes operation quiet and clean. Designer: Gergő Kassai - Related posts:
