No Limits For A Swim Posted: 25 Sep 2014 09:10 AM PDT Combining a prosthetic leg and swimwear in a clever design, Della Tosin hopes to sufficiently enhance an amputee's swimming experience. The design aims at balancing, maximizing energy return from launch off and flip-turns, and supporting the body through the latest technology. The wearable suit will assist single-leg amputees to compete with regular swimmers. Here is how it works: Elle leg provides an adjustable air chamber to control buoyancy and help amputees to maintain their streamlined position in the water. The frame will be personalized to match the volume of the amputee's other leg and it is made out of woven elastane-nylon and polyurethane, a material that repels water to increase buoyancy. Elle leg has a flexed ankle made out of a metal plate to increase energy return, interchangeable to match an individual's strength, and has an elastic band on the back, which will helps users launch off with reduced energy loss. The prosthetic leg comes with a vacuum socket that reduces pain and improves endurance. It is 3D printed, adjusted to one's measurement to create the perfect balance.

Starry Starry Night Posted: 25 Sep 2014 08:08 AM PDT Like Stars on Earth is a very cute concept for camping lights. It is made up of two components that stay together thanks to magnetic integration. The design is such that one part stays out of the tent and the other inside. The magnets make it possible for you to position the lamp suitably and move it freely. The main innovation is that outer shell of the lamp is designed to enhance the glow of the LED light, making it easy for campers to find their way.
