Sodavalve: The Hand-Saver

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 09:33 AM PDT

Designer Injoon Yang has grandma to thank for this clever gadget! After noticing her struggling near the refrigerator, he realized she was having difficulty opening a bottle of soda and took it as an opportunity to design a universal replacement cap that users can keep at home. Similar in shape and function to a spigot, simply replace the regular cap with one of two ergonomic handle designs for easy twisting on and off! Vid after the jump —>

All-in-one Fire Fighting

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 05:03 AM PDT

You really need to have nerves of steel to stay calm in an emergency situation. More often than not, we tend to panic and delay evacuation, especially when a fire breaks out. The Fire Emergency Equipment is a all-in-one unit that features an extinguisher, emergency radio, gas mask and flashlight. All the essentials bundled into one makes it easier for us to cope with the stress of the situation.

Designers: Hwang Jong Gyu, Lee Sung-ho and Choe Heun Guk

The Less is More Folding Bike

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 12:01 AM PDT

Designed for the urban commuter, the Occam Cycle makes it possible to transition between public transportation and riding in a cinch! Similar to a full-size bicycle, the riding style is familiar for most (minus the seat) so users will adapt quickly. More so, users will find that it’s even easier to fold and unfold than other folding bikes. Why? Because there’s simply less TO fold! Less folds also means less weight, less time, and less stress. See it in action —>

The Prettiest Potty Ever!

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 12:01 AM PDT

The “Seaside Periscope” just goes to show that even a restroom, yes… a restroom, can be an architectural masterpiece! Set in Gydnia, overlooking the Baltic Sea, the design’s key feature is a system of large mirrors that work like a periscope to give people inside a view of the sea so that even while they are doing their business they can enjoy the scenery! The monolithic concrete structure owes its shape to this unique function, but also blends with the local landscape with its curved top section which houses the mirrors and mimics the breakwater.

The Qi Impact

Posted: 03 Sep 2014 12:01 AM PDT

When you own something as well designed as the iPhone, you have to wonder why Jobs and Ive gave it wires to clutter up! Thankfully we have a movement out there that wants to make our lives wire-free. We are talking about the Qi movement and the latest to join the ranks is the QiPack. As the world's thinnest wireless portable charger, it provides universal, mobile and wireless charging for iPhone, smartphone and more.

The QiPack essentially features wireless inductive charging and 3,000mAh backup battery pack function. Designed to be a mere 8.9 millimeters thin, the device allows you to say goodbye to the hassle of cords and facilitates easy, on-the-go charging.

Speaking to the design team about their personal story and the story behind the idea, we got to know that they believe that everything starts with a dream. "We believe that wireless is a better way of living. It enables unlimited movement, and unlimited possibilities. Our mission is to embed wireless technology in places and things we naturally see and use every day. When we envisioned the new generation power solution for mobile industrial, we landed on the Universal, Wireless and Portable. Our target is release your phone and mobile device's true potential and redefined what a mobile power pack can do."

Why did they create the Qi Pack?

While portable chargers are nothing new to the market, QiPack has taken mobile power even further by creating the first ever-wireless charging device for iPhone. At just 8.9 millimeters thin (.39 inches), this device features a 3000mAh rechargeable battery cell. This universal charger gives users the ability to power their iPhone, Android smartphone, eBook and much more.

Impressive!

As far as inductive charging is concerned, phones fall generally fall into one of two categories. Qi-enabled devices are already Qi enabled right out of the box and non Qi-enabled devices need a case receiver or coil receiver for inductive charging. This makes them the ability to go wireless with QiPack.

The QiPack also works as a backup battery pack. Here are some of its finer details:

Universal Power – works with iPhone, Motorola Droid, Nokia Lumia, Samsung Galaxy, Google Nexus, LG Lucid, HTC Droid DNA and more
Wireless Power – powers up your Qi-enabled device with innovative wireless charging
Mobile Power – on-the-go charging of Qi-enabled devices
Portable Power – all-in-one inductive charging pad and 3000mAh backup battery
