ZIPcycle

Posted: 13 May 2013 08:49 AM PDT

ZIPcycle is the next evolution of the bicycle, aerodynamically optimized for less exertion & higher cruising speeds. In short, the rider gets more output with less input! The position of the rider is streamlined & elements are enclosed with fairings to greatly reduce drag; so much so that about 40% less energy is required to maintain a cruising speed of 20MPH (double the average commuting speed). The ergonomic riding stance also reduces handlebar strain & seat pressure… all this & riders still get an open-air experience!

ADDITIONAL FEATURES:

-Monocoque aluminum chassis;

-Linked steering mechanism, connecting the handlebar to the steering tube and front wheel fork (a mechanism found in underseat steering recumbent bicycles)

-Hub shifting in the rear wheel to accommodate the necessary gearing range

-Lubricated bearings, gears, and chains enclosed within the chassis in an internal driveshaft beam (so you will never again get grease on your clothes)

-Hollow tail-box, accessible by tilting the ventilated seat forward, spacious enough for a medium sized bag

-Option for an in-hub motor an lithium ion battery pack to provide hill and acceleration assist functions for cyclists in hilly and mountainous regions

Solo Laundromat

Posted: 13 May 2013 01:11 AM PDT

The SOLO is a unified laundry system for single folks. Besides being compact and wall mounted, the system cleans, irons, de-stains and refreshes clothes using modern technologies. For a better part it works on the water-less washing system by employing UV lights etc. I love it for its futuristic clean sweep style and 'shirt-shower' function!

Floating Brushes

Posted: 13 May 2013 01:01 AM PDT

Love painting but hate the mess? Well Buoy Brushes can help you a tad bit in keeping things clean. They simply float vertical in a bowl of water, making sure you don't stain the tabletop. The sizes easily distinguish the brushes and look artsy too!

Buoy Brush is a 2013 iF Design award – concept design entry.

Dat Weave!

Posted: 13 May 2013 12:01 AM PDT

The artistic Bocca chair gives the illusion of mass with its expansive, not-so-minimal form, but the unique woven construction makes it lightweight and airy. Manufactured from steel tubing and fabric in an artfully woven mesh voronoi pattern, the design is flexible and and durable, making it a comfortable seating solution indoors and out.

Bissol for the iPhone 5 balances traditional watchmaking with modern technology to form the world’s first mobile timepiece. Sure, you could tap the home button to read the digital display, but in anodized aluminum with painted sapphire crystal and a Swiss made, gold plated, 5-jewel face, Bissol introduces an entirely new way of telling time and adds a touch of classic elegance to your modern device.

World’s First Digital Camera With Retro Shooting Ability

Posted: 13 May 2013 12:00 AM PDT

The Sun and Cloud Self-Generating Digital Camera is one of those gadgets that you can't give a miss. With the ability to shoot both videos and stills, the ‘sun & cloud’ holds the distinction of being the world’s first self-generating digicam equipped with a solar panel and a hand crank. This means you can charge it via solar energy, kinetic energy or the plain old USB route.

The camera features a 3.0 megapixel CMOS sensor is capable of capturing images in three different modes – normal (150cm range), portrait (60 ~ 150cm range), and even macro (25 ~ 35cm range). In the video mode, the camera records at up-to 30 FPS and integrates a built-in mic for audio. The specs include an LCD screen for reviewing photos, high-powered LED flash, ISO range of 100 to 800, SD or SDHC memory cards of 2GB and 16GB capacities.

The Sun and Cloud Self-Generating Digital Camera is now available on AC Gears, you can opt for the black or the white version.
