| Posted: 12 Feb 2013 04:58 AM PST Here is an idea built up on the premise of harnessing the heat given off fluorescent lighting and using it to charge our gadgets and devices. The emission of heat is a waste by product from electricity. This Heat-electricity Conversion Storage Device uses a thermoelectric conversion material to transfer and then store electricity from heat waste. Its sharp, stylish design and the application of heat-resistant material are also a unique highlight. Heat-electricity Conversion Storage Device is a 2012 LiteonAward winner. Designers: Shuguang Li and Xiaoping Chen - Related posts:

| Posted: 12 Feb 2013 04:33 AM PST The heat sensitive material of the Nohot Cup's lid expands when the drink is too hot, providing a clear warning. In a way it helps you not scald your tongue with a drink too hot. When the temperature of the drink drops to 30°C, the circle contracts and becomes as flat as the surrounding lid again. This means the drink is safe to consume at a bearable temperature. For people like me who don't dig piping hot coffee, this is quite a sensible solution. A circular section of heat-sensitive material on the lid expands when it is heated. If the user tries to drink from the cup when the circle protrudes, it will hit their nose as a warning signal. Nohot Cup is a red dot award: design concept winner. Designers: Yang Dongyun, Wu Yichen, Sang Xinxin, Gu Zhiyu & Lin Xia - Related posts:
