| Posted: 30 Apr 2013 09:17 AM PDT The Safety Ski Pole is one handy device that you will want, if you are an accident-prone skier. The ski pole is integrated with a GPS tracker that can be used in case of an emergency. Moreover the pole also beams out an SOS signal so that it can reflect on the snow slopes and attract attention. Anything to help distressed and lost skiers I tell ya! Designer: Myunggyu Kim - Related posts:

| Posted: 30 Apr 2013 08:44 AM PDT This is totally one of those concepts that hurts your heart because it doesn’t exist yet! Bemoove is a futuristic urban vehicle with a wild aesthetic that was dictated not by a desire for attention, but by experimenting with material & powertrain options ideal for the city. The ultra-lightweight frame of the trike’s base is carbon fiber, but the real innovation is the inflatable cab that offers safety, shock absorption, & total panoramic views to passengers. So, how does it move? Hit the jump for more! —> The main steering device is the spherical rubber-Kevlar back wheel, moved by electric engines in any XY-plane direction. Controlled torque is applied to the support-case of this wheel to make the two main frame arms free to swing and accommodate curves and uneven ground. Traction is provided by four rubber-Kevlar tape-shaped tires which rotate independently forward or backward on their guides thanks to four electric motors positioned in the main frame, so as to maximize traction as well as turning radius.

| Posted: 30 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT Cork isn’t just the stuff of wine bottles, it’s also a unique & healthy method of farming & material sourcing… not to mention- infinitely recyclable, naturally waterproof, buoyant, & fire resistant. The Rolha (Portuguese for the stopper used in wine bottles) table taps into the unique nature of the material, & consists of just 3 legs & a solid, turned cork top. Each leg is fitted with a screw similar to a wine key, so the user simply has to twist each one into place! Designer: Gonçalo Campos - Related posts:

| Contribute your pee to compost! (Seriously) Posted: 30 Apr 2013 12:01 AM PDT L’uritonnoir is, quite simply, a hybrid of two everyday products: the urinal & the funnel (literally in French, “urinnoir” and “entonnoir”). It was designed primarily for use in public spaces like music festivals or carnivals where units can be placed on round bales of straw. The device funnels urine into the bale which is then removed & converted to compost after 6-8 months due to the chemical reaction of carbon (straw) & nitrogen (urine). Not for the pee-shy, but still cleaner & greener than a porta-potty! Designer: Faltazi - Related posts:
