Bloom Box 

Bloom Box claims to have designed a power generator that combines oxygen and natural gas, biogas or solar energy to create electricity. ”6O Minutes” interviewed the inventor and his financial backer, who are going extremely public after years of secrecy. Among the initial companies testing the hype — Google, eBay, and Walmart. Take a look at the video for yourself.

Marketed as a vice-free alternative to keeping your projects in place as you work, Bench Cookies are a slip-free, non-marking, high friction support. 

You can sand, rout, cut and carve without worrying about marring up the surface of what you are working on.  (They look to be a great way to manage furniture on wood floor surfacing too).

Peach pits and corn cobs to scrub your pots clean? That’s right! Goodbye Detergent has designed Spaghetti Scrubs, a line of naturally abrasive, detergent–free coarse scrubbers for cleaning your pots and pans. They can even be used to clean off appliances around the kitchen. Not much water is needed to get scrubbing, and then all you need is a little elbow grease.

With cold weather all around us, we are having to stack on layers of clothes to stay warm. And when you make your way back indoors and shed them, what do you do with all of those damp layers? 

Created to circulate air throughout all of your damp garments, DryGuy has designed Gear Tree, a coat rack of sorts. Hang any of your coats, gloves, boots or scarves and they’ll be dry and toasty the next time you need them.

It can’t be any clearer than this: “no more great ideas down the drain.” Aquanotes cedar pencil and water resistant pad set is an ideal way to keep your new ideas and great thoughts from washing away.

 

Taking off the Gloves

Product Design, Product Innovation, Upcoming Inventions

With cold weather all around us, many people who use touch interface devices are going to find that they will have to shed a layer to check email, answer a phone call or navigate their MP3 players. Instead of taking off your gloves, try creating a conductive pad on your finger tips.

These gloves can be purchased, but what is the fun in that? Try making your own gloves with a few simple items. Using your ordinary gloves, you can create an extraordinary interface to communicate between your fingertips and your electronic touch surface device.

You can order a sample bobbin of conductive thread for a small amount of money compared to the cost of a large spindle. Instructables even has an article about creating conductive glue if you choose to go that route. The idea is to create your own active conductive surface with a little creativity and know-how. The possibilities are limitless.

smart tea cup

This is a clever design. A tea cup with a mixing ball that you swirl to stir. And with a protruding, curved base, the ball does not fall out as you tilt back to drink. Clever, to say the least.

caso induction plate

Having seen many induction stovetops, I was excited to see the Caso portable induction plate. This version, priced right and portable, makes induction cooking possible for anyone. Though this hot plate can reach temperatures of up to 428 degrees Fahrenheit, don’t be intimidated. Its built-in safety features include the ability to sense pans on its glass top surface. It also has a 180-minute timer and 10 precise power levels. Well designed and beautifully functional.
