| The Propel Watch Gets a Price Slash Posted: 22 Mar 2011 08:11 AM PDT You just woke up to one of the best deals ever; Propel Watch by Projects @ YD Store is up for a great price that’s just too good to let it pass by. Don't just go by the price factor, the oomph is good enough to entice you. Check it out; the watch has a hypnotic display based on how turbines work. The second hand’s turbine blades expose a heartbeat pattern which hides the red face and creates a mesmerizing display of constant motion. These blades cover and reveal the hands, a reminder that every second contains the seeds of change. Offer Valid till Friday, 25th March midnight PST Prices Slashed ----------        |
| Posted: 22 Mar 2011 08:07 AM PDT Ever since using an iPhone, I haven't really thought about how keypads can make a difference. When I saw the Elastic Phone Concept, it brought back memories of my Sony Ericsson and Nokia days! A time when the kind of keypad and display were the decisive factors for me. What the Elastic Phone is trying to do is give us best of both the worlds, an enigmatic OLED touchscreen display with the convenience of a flexible keypad. Opt for a full-view display with the keys shifted to one corner of the phone or rearrange them to suit game mode. What fun! Designer: Sung-Ching Chang ----------     |
| Posted: 22 Mar 2011 08:05 AM PDT T-box is a power generator that harnesses wind-energy when a train moves across the tracks. The box kind of merges with the sleepers on the tracks and houses all the components necessary to harness, store and supply converted power. What makes this project really cool is that it doesn't rely on nature to be a source, instead it optimizes a human activity. T-box is a Liteon Winning Project Designers: Qian Jiang & Ale Leonetti Luparini

| Posted: 22 Mar 2011 02:45 AM PDT I’m always on the look out for new design talent and many of them are coming from groups, like Monocomplex from South Korea. These four young designers are creating new ideas in the realms of product design, furniture and lighting. Their collaborative efforts have created some of the most interesting modern pieces I’ve seen. 1. Icicle Lighting by Cho Jangwon 2. Spool Lighting by Hwang Eunsang 3.

| Posted: 22 Mar 2011 02:00 AM PDT A team of college students came together to design a new traffic intersection that transforms the power of footsteps into energy. The theories behind piezoelectricity, or the conversion of movements and vibrations into electricity, have existed for over 100 years. Very few applications of piezoelectricity exist in this modern age. Upon researching this technology, they immediately realized a multitude of different avenues one could take to utilize it. Piezoelectric plates are placed under the cross-walk so that vibrations and pressure fluctuations caused by cars and pedestrians can be converted into electricity. The electricity is piped to power street lamps, traffic signals, cameras and other electronic devices located in the vicinity. What an awesome idea for busy metropolises.

| Posted: 22 Mar 2011 12:01 AM PDT This watch concept by designer Zoltan B. Kecskemeti gets it’s name from the moire animation style that it uses to create the illusion that the image on the face is changing. The mask replaces the second hand and gradually reveals different parts of the clock face as time passes. Clock faces come in the form of a blinking kitty, roman to arabic numerals, or my personal favorite- the beating heart. Designer: Zoltan B. Kecskemeti ----------     |
| Posted: 22 Mar 2011 12:01 AM PDT Those who have severe food allergies know that a single bite of the wrong substance could be their last. This home food scanner known as the Allergen Beagle enables users to screen foods for potential allergenic contents with a straightforward process so that allergen sufferers feel some amount of relief from constantly being at risk of an allergic reaction. Currently, the system is able to detect peanut, shellfish, gluten, lactose, hazelnut, egg, soy, almonds, and sesame by following these steps: 1. Collect small samples from the food to be screened for allergens 2. Select test tubes needed (one test-tube needed per allergen to be tested) 3. Fill tubes with the sample 4. Insert the test tube into the Allergen Beagle 5. Allow automated process to complete procedure 6. During the procedure a bright light elicits the process 7. When the light turns off, the test can be read: if the Test line colours dark, and the Control line colours dark, the allergen is present Designer: Sebastian Goudsmit ----------     |
| Posted: 22 Mar 2011 12:01 AM PDT At first glance the Bat Mirror seems like your usual pretty French rococo wall mirror, until you gaze just a little closer and see it’s darker pop-culture reference. It wasn’t until I took a fourth or fifth look that I even noticed the gigantic 3 foot bat. The second mirror in this series, Eroteme, again reflects classic baroque style met with coathanger functionality. A little oddball, but perfect if you’re wanting to snaz up your batcave or mannerist closet. Designer: Stanislav Katz ----------     |
