Printing A Road Posted: 17 Dec 2009 02:25 AM PST The Road Printer is a device that can be used to print road-signs directly onto the road surface. As opposed to the tedious job of hand-painting the signs, this device looks at making the task easier and precise. A set of templates like Stop, U Turn, Bus, Arrow Signs etc. are pre-programmed into the device and are jet-sprayed to the surface. The menu buttons are large enough to endure a boot or a push from your fingers. A solar panel on the top-end helps in charging the thang. A paint cartridge swings from side-to-side between the track wheels, spraying the selected icon to the road. The paint reservoir is fitted at the rear and can be easily refilled. Overall a nice, perceptive design; something my country could very well use. Where I live, we have a lot of red-tape even to get roads painted. First they have a tender floated for getting the job done, and then the contractors take their sweet time, disrupt traffic and still do a shoddy job of the markings. If the Road Printer will do the perfect job with a quick, drying paint…life in traffic will be a tad bit easier! Designers: Hoyoung Lee, Doyoung Kim & Hongju Kim for Designsory

Measuring Babies Posted: 17 Dec 2009 01:00 AM PST Babies being babies will not stay still just because you want to measure their progress in height. They are going to squirm, scream and do everything possible, when you take that tape measure from head-to-foot! This is why I simply adore the Baby Measuring Crib Fitted Sheet. It looks to be this fun, non fussy way of marking your baby's growth progress. The graphics on this sheet reflect an accurate measuring scale. What's more, it's printed on 100% cotton with environmentally friendly ink. Totally Baby-friendly! Designer: Clare Chen

Wind-Powered M6 Speedster Posted: 17 Dec 2009 12:25 AM PST This right here is a wind-powered car. It has three wheels, a giant fin on the back, and inside this post there’s a pretty lady standing next to it. Now, that’s pretty impressive by itself. But! What else is there? There’s a sweet paint job, Formula 1 carbon composite body parts, rudder, wings, and a direct current motor that converts small wind into momentum! Intrepid learned design-minded readers, humor me for a moment here, tell me if this could possibly work: The M-6 is wind powered car which is solely powered by wind. it runs on a direct current motor which converts small wind in momentum, as the momentum increase the intake of wind drives the car faster. Then take a gander at the rest of these statistics that could very well stand on their own, without a wind-powered motor. The body of the car is indeed made of carbon composites like a Formula 1 racing car. It uses its rudder and wings as sails, allowing the car speeds of up to 120 miles per hour. It produces zero carbon emissions, looks fresh, and reminds me of a certain “Racer” family-owned car team. Designer: Funfere Koroye

Hardcore Pans Posted: 17 Dec 2009 12:03 AM PST These pans (and pots) are so hardcore. But. The thing this project is about is the handles. Designer Valera Barnayev whipped these fantastic handles up in collaboration with industrial designers from Calphalon Cookware. Designed from handle-up, these bits of wood/metal/plastic were made for those homes that display more than use. Yes, made for rich people, who only every once in a while like to make themselves a plate of spaghetti with cold sauce on top. Super clean, nice, fashionable. Made to look real nice. Designer: Valera Barnayev

Safety Skijet First! Posted: 17 Dec 2009 12:02 AM PST What’s up Brazil? I bet you’re just cruzin in the nice summer breeze right about now huh? Or wait. Winter. Anyway, there’s water on the coasts of brazil, a lot of it. Designer Mario Martuscello wants to keep those coasts super safe! So he made a rescue jet boat called “Bravo!” It’s totally whippin around doing amazing tricks while it’s not busy saving lives. *Skijet is NOT the same as jet boat! This is a jet boat! It’s rockin! **Rockin with safety. Lots of traffic in the seas these days, lots of traffic. Lots of trash too, but that’s a conversation for another day. Today we’re all about the Bravo. It’s made simply for speed and ease of use. First aid on board, transport of victims using keep-it-simple techniques, security, and agility. The rescuers can ride in comfort with enough room for three injured passengers at the rear of the boat. No attachment for tubing along the back, but I’m sure something could be whipped up. Designer: Mario Martuscello
