| Exercising With Magnets and Dumbbells Posted: 08 Dec 2009 02:16 AM PST I like the Magnetic Dumbbells for two reasons: looks and properties. I don't need to elaborate the looks part but here's the info on the properties or functioning. The pair of dumbbells (North Pole {NP} charged) comes with a cradle and some South Pole (SP) pointer magnets. The idea is to add weight to the dumbbells by increasing the magnetic power of attraction between the SP pointers and the NP Dumbbells. Alas, the story gets complicated and…. To get a good workout, you need to spread the SP pointers around your workout area so that equal attraction force is available from all corners. You get to adjust the magnetic frequency and other details via the cradle. Essentially the dumbbells in your hands when held vertically activate the SP pointers after a few seconds. At the end of the session, when you hold them horizontally, the SP pointers deactivate. You can pre-set the power and frequency of the dumbbells, but all this settings and efforts really make me woozy! I also don't particularly care about the SP pointers' restrictive spacing. What if I'm in the mood for some aerobics with weights and need ample floor to work out? Worth appreciating is the thought of having a single dumbbell which can have varying weights. Now you guys are the designers out there, tell me how to make this work! Designers: Sang-Hoon Lee

| Zoom Stop Fold Unfold Go Zoom! Posted: 08 Dec 2009 01:35 AM PST So you’ve got to go in and out of a bunch of places today, all around teh town, and you know you’re not gonna be able to find a bike rack every time. But you gotta bike! So whatcha gon do? You gon get you a folding bike – and since you’re way into the color orange and fantastically innovative folding bike design, you set your eyeballs square upon the prize: the “Zoomla!” HAY that does not appear to be a conventional bike. That’s RIGHT that’s because it’s not. It’s the Zoomla. It’s just so classy. The fold is a single-pivot. That’s it! But wait, how do I turn, it doesn’t look like the handle turns the front wheel! – Oh but it does! This bike incorporates a system called TorqSteer, eliminating that whole messy steering tube ordeal. Then wait, what the cuss?! There’s no pedals! -Oh but there ARE pedals. Those two orange pedals right there are pedals, known here as the Pedaldeck. This bike uses an internal drive system rather than the usual crank and pedals. And down there, in the pics, what’s that turtleshell there? Oh that, that’s a freaking backpack! It’s optional and attaches just below the seat for fashion fabulousness. Designer: Eric Stoddard of SpeedStudio Design

| Posted: 08 Dec 2009 01:09 AM PST Actually, from the looks of it, Crank It might be what you’re doing in between recording it and playing it. Check this thing right here out. It is a cellphone, but that’s the simplest of the things it does. It not only records music, it not only edits music, it not only plays that same music you just recorded and edited, it can do all this without accessing a separate computer. 0. This device is called “Ondo.” 1. Talk to a bandmate on the phone, schedule a session. 2. Hook up some nice place, time, date, enter it in your calendar (also on the phone) and invite the rest of your band. 3. Jam together all in the same place or in 3 different places in the world! Each of your mates just has to take a different clip from their phone and connect it to their instrument. 4. Record in what I can only assume is perfect quality. 5. Edit on the go! Simple controls and really weird and awesome interactive twists and turns make you an edit maestro. 6. Get to a party, wedding, or bar mitzvah, and play that track right from the phone! This is a device which is severely music-based. Designer: Pilotfish

| The Hypersimplification of Coinage Posted: 08 Dec 2009 12:05 AM PST When you look at all of the things Mac Funamizu has conjured up, you notice a lot of tech going on. If you are a Mac connoisseur, you’re in for a treat: an utterly analog coin design. This project is based on the idea that it’s a challenge for people who travel to figure out the coin-and-note system of money in each new country they’re in. Solution? Pie chart coins! This project right here is called “Infographic Coins” and the original intent is to for just a moment dismiss the obvious pros in the circular-only design of modern coins and jump on the fractions train. Think how simple it would be entering into new monetary systems in new countries when everything is based on the singular, (the dollar, the euro, the mark, the peso,) visually, on the one! Designer: Mac Funamizu

| Posted: 08 Dec 2009 12:00 AM PST The e~cart promises quite an electrifying experience! It's a shopping trolley re-designed to be fitted with wheels that harness the kinetic energy, generated due to its motion. The sourced up energy is deposited to the main power storage unit, when the cart docks into it. Just line them up, one behind the other to form a power chain! Although the designers suggest that the harnessed energy can be used to completely sustain the store for the month, I seriously doubt that. Yes some amount of electricity can be generated and part of the consumption can be taken care of, but not the entire months. Designers: Kitae Pak & Inyong Jung
