Always Thirsty in the Ocean? Posted: 26 Nov 2008 05:14 AM PST So you’re lost in the ocean, right? You need a boat probably. You also need to get saved. But most importantly, you need water. What!? Yes. Do not drink that salty water. You will go insane. Instead, heed the Ocean Rescue -it’s bright orange and has the drinks you just gotta have. Seol-Hee Sohn, Seung-Hyun Yoon and Cheol-Yeon Cho save us from the deeps of the Titanic-ridden seas: It is a rescue device for the emergency situation in ocean. The victims on ocean must drink some water to be survived. so Ocean Rescue provide distilled water made by itself. It will help victims be survived until rescue. Location information is important for victims to be rescued quickly Ocean rescue informs its position through emitting the light at night and colorful smoke at day. Location information has been transmited since it operated. A couple more things that could probably be added easily: 1. Shark Repellant Bat-Spray. 2. Buttons that you can push that tell people that you’re at this Ocean Rescue station and you’re lost in the effing ocean. 3. Cheeseburgers.

Touch Me Michael, I Drive Just for You Posted: 26 Nov 2008 03:23 AM PST You love light-up cars, right? You want your car to stick-out and keep the streets bright, right? How would you like your car to be uniquely coded to open and activate based on your touch- your fingerprints and more? Ask Enache Florin to hand the plans over. Here is the Peugeot “Touch.” Designer Enache Florin keeps your car private, maybe: [The Peugeot Touch] has a light weight body that in some areas, like the doors, are placed touch-sensitive sensors and finger recognition. [These sensors ensure that] only the owner can use the car. Everything is opened [and activated] by touch. The lights compose symbols made out of LED’s, in this way the car has it’s own identity at night. This associates the car with its parent company, identifying it uniquely as the Peugeot Touch. Take note: if you want to ask questions about the logistics of the “Touch,” post comments below and Mr. Florin or one of his associates would be happy to answer some way or another, I'm sure. 1. This is no inexpensive car, for sure, but once the price barrier is broken, will a car that’s gotta be programmed to it’s driver be a realistic goal? 2. How about if we take that feature and make it regular for lots of cars? 3. Speed Racer. Time-lapse photography’s gonna be hot with this one. Designer: Enache Florin Enache Florin

All-in-One Sticky Lamp with Clicker Posted: 26 Nov 2008 02:05 AM PST Behold the “Sticky Lamp” by designer Chris Kabel. “1UP” (or 100%-Useful-Packaging) in full effect here with a lamp whose shade is also it’s in-store container. The sticky lamp is basically a lightbulb in a socket contained in a plastic case with an adhesive ring around it’s edge. The socket is connected to an extended power cord and a clicker. Pick up and use. Designer Chris Kabel’s Sticky Lamp gets basic: This design brings a new function to packaging. The plastic which would normally be discarded has become the casing. The self-adhesive fixing offers endless possibilities. You can stick it wherever you want, on the ceiling, the door, wall or floor. Weight : 0.35 Material PVC, 7W bulb Size 18 x 25 x 7 cm Surely the package will open, allowing the bulb to replaced [by an LED light, of course.] And we can only dream of replaceable adhesive so that these might travel with to multiple locations. I would buy “party lights” to work with these. “Party lights.” Designer: Chris Kabel Chris Kabel

Calendar Tells Me EVERYTHING Posted: 25 Nov 2008 11:15 AM PST The Living Concept 2009 was created specially for project newave.com.ua. What separates this calendar from your traditional fair is the ability to show weeks, months, holidays, and time all at a glance. A large hand shows a current day (and month too), thus doing a complete turn during 365 days. A little hand shows the current day of week (and current hour) and accordingly does a complete turn for 7 days. It seems totally overwhelming to try and read everything together but that’s only half the story. You can buy one of these mechanical calendars mid December for, wait for it. . . $94,950. Designer: Maksim Biriukov Maksim Biriukov

Lights Where I Want ‘Em Posted: 25 Nov 2008 11:10 AM PST The Drop Light is a unique lighting system that provides a new user interface for indoor lighting. Each lighting module can be separated from the main body to use as a free standing lamp. An electric line, located within the main body, charges the ‘drops’ via a network of tracks. The droplights contain new advance LEDs which prevent the lights from excessive heating. Awesome idea for custom lighting concepts or for emergency black situations.
