For lumberjacks who want to keep their limbs…

Posted: 31 May 2013 08:00 AM PDT

Accidents while sawing are generally the result of the user turning their body to achieve a certain angle while cutting trees horizontally. In this awkward position, the saw often slips from the user’s grasp, spinning from the torque before coming into contact with a leg or other extremity. To solve this problem, the Rotation Saw is fitted with a revolving handle so the user can adjust the angle at which they’re cutting without moving from the proper body position. Hit the vid to see it in action!

The Phone, Simplified

Posted: 31 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Gotta love the simplicity of this minimal desktop phone by Younghwan Kim! Designed for the OCD professional with a perfectly organized desk, the phone at first appears to be a black, glossy block accent. Un-nest it from the base, however, and it will reveal a minimal interface with basic number keys and an simple LED screen. Its functionality is as minimal as the stark aesthetic, and that’s its charm!

Measure and Mix in One

Posted: 31 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

KÜMA – 15 is a combination mixer/scale designed to save space and time when you’re whipping up complex mixtures. Rather than weigh out ingredients one by one and then toss into the bowl, the appliance doubles as a scale to make measuring a seamless part of the workflow. Cleaner, more efficient, and easy-to-use, it’s an innovative hybrid solution for the serious chef.

Living Light Bulbs

Posted: 31 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

Already being used as a large-scale power source for housing heating/cooling & biodiesel creation, algae as a natural energy source is one of the more exciting alternatives of the near future. The AlgaeBulb is an exploration into the use of the organisms on a micro-scale in single LED lightbulb that harnesses the green-power of algae. Using a small air pump compressor, tank, and hydrophobic material, it creates just enough electricity to power the LED for limited durations. Hit the jump to see how it works!
