Skyway or the Highway

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 09:53 AM PST

As maneuverable as they are, emergency helicopters still have limitations like relatively low speed and limited reach with their large rotors  that prevent them from landing close to objects. The Skyway concept concentrates on eliminating these setbacks by utilizing a unique multi-fan propulsion system that makes it smaller, faster, more stable, safer, and all-in-all better equipped to access emergency situations that even ground ambulances might have trouble getting to. You gotta check out the vid to see how this bad boy works!

With all the traffic congestion and vehicle-related pollution up on the rise, electric powered and other hybrid green-fueled mode of transportation seems to be a happy work around. Joining the ranks is the JAC<, a compact, foldable electric powered scooter. Ideal for urban distances and loaded with high-tech features, this environmentally friendly, modern personal transporter is easy to fold and to bring along anywhere.

Features:

  • The JAC< can be charged in the back of the car.
  • The JAC< – either on its own or in combination with a car or public transport – provides an alternative for the modern urban commuter.
  • Clean zero emission urban transport.

Three Cool Ways To Break The Ice At A Party

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 03:43 AM PST

So the party season is here and you are all geared up to go out and have a good time. Perhaps even entertain at home! While many of you may be as suave as Leonard, a few of us belong to the Rajesh Koothrappali category and can do with a little help in breaking the ice. Oh well, we are in luck! Product design is one ammo that always comes to our rescue and here are three cool ways to get a conversation started. Have a look and tell me what you think!

Wear The Brass Sometimes Watch by Dennis Guidone [ Available @ YD Store for $140 ]

The palette of Sometimes is both contemporary and classic, with elongated hands juxtaposed against the black dial. The second hand aligns with the minute and hour for but a moment. The independent movement of the seconds appear to be out of sync with time itself.

Play Music On The Pulpop MP3 Speaker by Balance Wu [ Available @ YD Store for $56 ]

Other than its unique donut shape, this USB rechargeable MP3 speaker is made of recycled pulp. It is ultra light despite its look and size. The vibration inside the hollow space of the speaker amplifies the sound. After a series of trial and error processes, this speaker was born with unexpected potency of sound volume and quality. Environmentally and design conscious!

Sip Tea With The Fish Cups and Heat Pads by Inno.park [ Available @ YD Store for $50 ]

Put on a show! The way this beautiful set works is that you place your warm tea cup on the pads and when you lift it up to sip your drink…vola! There is a bight orange fish swimming on the pad. The metal plates on the bottom of the cups allow you to place fishes anywhere on the pads when the cup reaches 68°C. Create your own school of fish, sit back, start a conversation and enjoy.

Drops of Functionality

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 12:01 AM PST

The function of this modern furniture piece isn’t immediately obvious, but that’s just a part of its appeal! The Drop magazine stand’s functional tear-drop shape provides an elegant storage solution for all your periodicals and it also makes a great bookmark. Just place your current read over the top to save the page until you’re ready to pick it back up. The unique construction is made of 3mm birch sheets bound with a lamination technique that makes it possible to mold in just one major manufacturing process.

All-Season Headphones

Posted: 21 Dec 2012 12:01 AM PST

If you’re prepping to hit the slopes this winter then you’ll probably be including an MP3 player and headphones as part of your regular gear. While music can enhance the experience, the uncomfortableness of extended ear-bud wear can be a real pain which is why lots of helmets now have built in headphones. This innovative helmet design takes things a step further, utilizing a wireless headphone system that can also be easily removed when the snow melts off! One pair for all your favorite activities- genius!
