Do you like going to nature, to corners where GSM signals do not catch and there is neither a ghost nor a hearing about electric sockets where you could charge your smartphone? Electronic devices play an important role in our lives, even when we are in nature, where we generally withdraw from them for a short time. Maybe you don't use your phone there to read email, browse the web or make calls, but you need it as a camera, flashlight, map or music player. That's when you'll be glad to have the Micro Wind Turbine with you to charge your portable device even so far away from civilization.
innovations
Tech giant Apple has filed a patent for a laptop that turns an iPhone smartphone into a MacBook laptop, and the phone folds right into the place of the touchpad.
Although progressive glasses, which are suitable for people with diopters for distance and near, have made life easier for visually impaired people, many people find it difficult to get used to them. Well, they might not even have to, because in a few years we'll have glasses with automatic focus.
You've probably heard of many types of food preparation methods, but certainly not something like Iftach Gazit's idea. A student from Tel Aviv has created a unique set of food bags that are not prepared in a pot, pan, oven or microwave, but in the washing machine.
When it comes to the Dutch, innovation and quality of life are high on the list of imperatives, so it's no surprise that it was there, in the city of Oss, that they introduced the first smart road with illuminated lane markers. So the future will be brighter and much safer.
Who wouldn't want to have armor like Iron Man? If that's a pious wish for most of us, it's not the case for British innovator Richard Browning, who created a flight suit. He may not be flying through the air with it like Tony Stark (yet), but he's well on his way to becoming a true Iron Man.
With spring, recreational cyclists also take a look at the plan. Anyone who has ever covered a long distance knows how the butt can start to hurt after a certain time and how painful each jolt can be. With the Rinsten Spring shock absorber, this will no longer be the case. The revolutionary shock absorber can be mounted on any bike, and you don't have to change the seat for greater comfort.
Rocking-Knit is a rocker/knitter that knits a winter hat for us while rocking. A very special swing is the innovation of two students of the Swiss Faculty of Art and Design (Ecole cantonale d'art de Lausanne – ECAL), Damien Ludi and Colin Peillex. Who says that only high-tech inventions are revolutionary!
As simple as we can measure our body temperature or blood pressure, we will later be able to measure our heart rate as well. Researchers at the Jožef Stefan Institute have developed a personal medical device for accurate monitoring of heart rhythm, which stores the data on a mobile application. Place the device on your body, and you can send the measurements to your doctor at any time, who can identify any deviations or defects in the functioning of the heart.
It sounds strange, but when you get to know all the practical features of Sharkman, a wearable, light and extremely flexible piece of furniture for everyday use, you will be more than willing to own it.
Are you afraid your bike will be stolen? Do you feel like even a really good lock won't stop thieves from stealing it? Thieves are becoming more and more daring and are not stopped by even the strongest locks. But now, finally, there is a lock that will successfully fit around their edge. It goes by the name SkunkLock, and as its name suggests, it stinks like a ferret, but only when someone tries to forcibly remove it and injures it in the process. The bicycle is protected both mechanically and chemically, and the smelly gas will make the thief vomit at the scene of the crime.
The young Slovenian team behind the Goat Story brand achieved huge success on Kickstarter in 2014 with the unique Goat Mug. Although she offered them almost half a million US dollars, the team did not rest on their laurels. Now he's returning to the scene of the crime with a clever coffee-making instrument he's named Gina. Can a coffee machine that makes coffee making an interactive ritual repeat the success of the goat horn cup?
