| Levitating Ball Is Actually A Projector Posted: 29 Jun 2009 02:44 AM PDT Geist Projector thinks itself to be a levitating fakir, but sadly it's not! The magic happens coz of the electromagnetic field, which makes the "projector ball" levitate on the base. This gives an almost unlimited amount of mobility to the image projection field. The system keeps audio-visual reproduction as priority and thus is compatible with the multitude of recording formats available in the market. The projector base splits up into 4 parts and consists of the speakers, battery pack, input slots and card slots. Take a look at the detailed slides inside for all the info. Designers: Flavio Nazario, Jenni Moreno and Tati Vieira

| No Stiff Helmet For My Head Please Posted: 29 Jun 2009 12:43 AM PDT I don't blame the woman in this pic for looking so stiff coz I wouldn't know how to react to this kitsch helmet. Made from textile instead of rigid materials, the "TopUp Head Protection" for cyclists and walkers is an exploration of the honeycomb pattern and device a protective gear for the head. The brief was to design a gear that was is light and compact and that could deal with minor bumps and falls. The honeycomb was an obvious choice for its impact resistance and shock absorption qualities. TopUp is being currently developed by DoYouVélo?, so maybe you will catch one of us YD-ers prancing about in it soon. Designers: Caroline Journaux & Adrien Guerin for DoYouVélo?
Guys don’t feel left out….This is how you will look in the TopUp…

| Posted: 29 Jun 2009 12:10 AM PDT You can’t get too tipsy on this: the “Cheers” personal mobile device. It’s powered by an efficient, maybe even energy-saving Alcohol-cell. Looks mighty like a container of the whisky, doesn’t it? Well it’s at least half as fun! What a mighty little device this fellow is! That cap on top of the device not only locks the cell inside, it’s a function switch as well. Kind of like a “wheel” if you will. Do you party? Party here. Right on this lovely device. Although I’ll never be a fan of objects that require more and more batteries, more and more things to plug in, I’d say this is certainly a beautiful solution. Or at least beautiful. What say you alcohol aficionados? How well do you think it’ll play out if it’s produced? Is it “green?” Cheers! Designer: Tryi Yeh

| Posted: 29 Jun 2009 12:02 AM PDT Click tick, tick, click; olden clocks are where it’s at. Not since my grandmother’s mail-order grandfather clock have I seen a clicky-clock I like so much. But this one is not old at all! And at 18 inches at it’s widest, it’s not that space-consuming. But then again, take a peek at it’s wild manifestation. Sort of unwieldily perhaps. Not for the home with the tiny children with long reach. You know what kind of small household companion would like this though? A parakeet. What a lovely perch it’d make. This machine, this clock, is called the “Delay.” As you can see from it’s looks it was never meant to be in the average home. Instead it’s for the fabulous, the weird, and the wild.
The future of steam-punk technology. That’s not even a thing! But if it were, this would perhaps be it. The simplicity is daunting in it’s complexity. Designer: Bas van Leeuwen of Bloomming Design

| Darth Vader of The Night Lights Posted: 29 Jun 2009 12:00 AM PDT While his Zweistil Bike project brought him many accolades, the Night Ease project may dub Stefan Wallmann as the creator of the “Darth Vader of the night lights…” This one's a simple solar solution that has its bottom covered with solar cells for juicing up. During the day just invert it with the bottom up, on its ring-stand and let it soak in the rays. At night, place it peak-side up and turn it the right way around (it has a tilt switch inside) to activate the light. For the Jedi, may this force be with you! Designer: Stefan Wallmann
