The MagLevAir is an airplane shuttle system with reduced noise, space and energy consumption during take off. The airplane is hooked to a maglev shuttle saving expensive cerosin for accerleration during take off. In flight the delta wing shaped airplane uses scram jets. The MagLevAir is part of a hub and spoke system. It could serve in an urban environment and transport passengers across short distances to bigger airports with more standard Airbuses and Boeings. The MagLevAir was inspired by the take off procedures on aircraft carriers. The short and decentralized take off combined with the fast and quiet accerleration of a transrapid formed an ideal team for an ecological urban airport system. Designers: Leonie Lawniczak, Deniz Örs &amp Georg Milde Grippy For The Grip Challenged August 10, 2009 at 1:49 pm Slip Grips are designed to help individuals with limited hand mobility manipulate objects that they would otherwise be unable to use. The product is used by slipping the finger holds over the thumb and forefinger and then snapping objects in to place via the clips located in between these finger holds. At a slight angle, the clip directs objects placed in it downward, giving the user a natural range of motion. When wearing a Slip Grip, the user is able to use objects such as pool sticks, spatulas and tooth brushes. Ultimately, Slip Grips are an affordable product that function in a variety of different scenarios without taking away any of the users independence, or drawing any unwanted attention to the user in the process. Designer: Stanton Burns How To Read A Non-Braille Book August 10, 2009 at 8:30 am You're blind, I mean sight impaired and the situation is that you wanna read Harry Potter but the Braille version is not available. So you pop out the "Haptic Reader", place it on the front page, and allow it to scan the contents. Almost magically all the letters get converted to Braille, which dot the surface of the reader. Want more magic? Turn on the voice system, to hear the story instead. Designers: David Lee, Yuna Kim & Hansub Lee Sphere-it in the Sky August 10, 2009 at 5:52 am Electricity is in the air. Literally. This vehicle, the futuristic “Bio Top” utilizes “wireless electricity” technology. The front of this vehicle has 2 wheels, the back has one, and this one is a sphere which charges the electric car battery as it goes, then transmitting the energy from the battery to the car through that wireless electricity. Also you’ve gotta have a listen about the steering wheel! The steering wheel might make a few video-game fanatics more prone to fly about the roads like they were Cruzin, if you know what I mean: instead of the now-standard foot-pedal gas and break, the Bio Top features a hand-controlled speed and stop system, all done through the steering column. A car that powers itself. That’s what this is. Designer: Luis Pinheiro de Lima Choose Your Atmospheric Fate August 10, 2009 at 5:06 am So perhaps you’d like blue today. Or perhaps you’d like magenta? Or perhaps you’d like to go for broke and say choose… pure white light? My goodness you have all of these choices, all of them, with this lamp I am about to show you called the “Color Therapy Lamp.” A color LED selection of “millions of colors” right from your mobile phone. Not so novice! The white lights that are in this bad boy are Philips Luxeon Rebels so you know they are so bright your eyes will burn out. The color is controlled by 36 RGB LEDs from Avago Technologies. Also the lamp has 50,000 hours of life so don’t worry about changing the bulbs. This would be called, if I may use our modern most popular nomenclature - a “green” lamp. Designer: Peter Kuhar A Very Simple Plug August 10, 2009 at 4:29 am I won't bore you lengthy explanations on this Plug Extension Cord Project, because it really doesn't require one. It's been designed to basically explore the possibilities of using only one hand or simply just your foot to unplug your gadget. Sometimes we do get into a situation where our hands are full and we need to unplug the damn cord. This plug extension is for one of those sticky situations. Neat, simple and superb! Designer: Anton Zetocha Utilize That Sling August 10, 2009 at 3:19 am Recovering from broken arm is not much of a pleasant situation; coz one needs to diligently follow a physiotherapy routine to build back the muscles. Maybe something like the Recovery Sling will help you stay on track coz it doubles up a physiotherapy aid. As a sling, it offers adequate support to the fractured arm, without putting much of a strain around your neck. The arm loops are adjustable and post plaster-removal, can be used as a rehab aid to do some muscle building exercises. Here are some types of recovery exercises that one can follow: The patient fixes a hand holding a ring and moves another back and forth while wearing the middle pad on a shoulder. This exercise can recover the biceps and pronator muscle of the arm and the wrist muscle. The patient holds the rings and stretches them out horizontally. This exercise can recover the deltoid muscle of the shoulders and the wrist muscle. The patient moves each hand up and down in turns. This exercise can recover the deltoid muscle of the shoulders and the biceps muscle of the arms. Designers: Sungjoon Kim, Seunghee Son, Sook-kyung Lee & Yonghee Cho Incredibly Lazy In The Future To Cook August 10, 2009 at 3:00 am Dumbledore’s Pensieve would come in handy here, but the thing is, I need you to look into the future and not in the past! The scene is this, you're as lazy and rusted in the kitchen as Irona coz you now have a full-fledged butler-robot to do your cooking; Butl-R-Bot. It's compact, intuitive, cooks, cleans and flies like Tinker Bell; only the fairy dust is missing! This futuristic kitchen-o-bot relies on "Responsive Artificial Intelligence and advanced technologies." Oh, these techs would include "humanetic arms, fan arrays (allowing movement), cameras and advanced sensors that allow it to cook meals, order and collect food, manipulate all tasks a human can around the kitchen and interact with all available kitchen utensils and appliances." Lazy or not, this what Electrolux Design Lab Finalists Tim Leeding foresees for you in the future…90 years from now… Designer: Tim Leeding This email was sent to gongyesheji1@gmail.com.
