Bionic Sailboat

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 09:17 AM PST

This versatile sailboat design looks to the animal kingdom as a model for its floatation and unique wind-harnessing technique, emulating nature’s own time-tested solutions. The shape of the body takes inspiration from cetacean’s well-adapted shape to move through the water efficiently, while the dual-sail applies principles taken from seafaring birds. The “wings” tuck at the boat’s sides when not in use and can be raised quickly when it’s time to set sail.

Folded Java Maker

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 08:41 AM PST

I was in for a rude shock when I realized that my hotel in Milan did not provide for an electric kettle in my room. This is a given standard, however sometime we need to carry our kettles with us. For such situations (yes, I am picky about making my own coffee) the Novel is apt; it is a patented folding travel kettle, which is unique, thanks to its simple design.

It is designed in such a way that it folds into a minimum shape and can be put in the back pocket of your trousers! Even a travel bag or a laptop bag!

The body of the kettle is ergonomic and made of special heatproof plastic, which is pleasing to the touch when heated to the boiling point. The inside of the kettle is made of 100% silicone, which allows its horizontal folding. A bayonet adapter provides the source of the electric power with a supply connector to the source of the electric energy (wall sockets at home, car socket, socket of solar panels). There are magnetic elements included in the body of the kettle, in the lid and in the adapter, which allow us to pack the kettle simply and safely and provide its fixation into operating or storage position towards the magnetic base (minimum requirements for storage space). Folded or unfolded kettle can be fixated on metal components of the side walls of vehicles, vessels or planes for medical, security, rescue and humanitarian forces!

The iSmart In Television

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 08:33 AM PST

All the great things you ever wanted in a TV, they can be found in the Smart TV Concept. WiFi, gesture control, currency conversion, weather report and much more! I agree that as a concept you can keep adding features that please you but if we look at this smartly, then the panel kinda design nails it for me. What do you think?

Ballistic Blender

Posted: 27 Feb 2013 12:03 AM PST

No, it’s not a missile, but this sleek hand-held blender will totally pulverize anything in its path! A great alternative to your average bulky countertop blender, the compact design saves space but packs just as powerful of a punch. The multipurpose blade is ideal for chopping, crushing, or purée in both shallow and deep containers, and with its protective guard it’s safe to use on glass, plastic or any other common material type.

With tactile grips, a smooth, easy-to-clean finish, and accent/safety lighting it’s as practical as it is attractive.

Anyone who’s lived in a studio apartment understands the frustration of not having room for a table. Besides providing a proper place to eat, many times the table also serves as a center point for entertaining guests. This ingenious convertible furniture piece is perfect for compact spaces, instantly transforming from 3 person sofa to 6 person dining table. Simply unfold the top/back, remove the cushions, & expand their legs to create a comfortable space to eat, play a card game, or enjoy other group activities.
