Amazing Minature Cars
For the kids of course:
Cardboard Genius
Move-it is a simple kit of self-adhesive cardboard parts, which the user sticks on to a cardboard package, turning it into a lightweight, easy-to-use trolley. It consists of a set of wheels and an adjustable handle that adheres to almost any box under 45 pounds with a bio-degradable adhesive.
Precision Joinery
Love to be able to get my carpentry to this level of precision - nice site by stylo too.
Clever Bike Stuff
First up there’s this genius bottle clip:
Then this stylish and (probably) shock absorbing wooden handlebar:
Always like it when things go full circle: after years of trying countless fancy metals and carbon fibre somebody reverts back to traditional materials.
Segway/Strandbeest Hybrid
Amazing and a little creepy at the same time - a segway like platform with legs based on those found on Theo Jansen’s Strandbeests:
Happy Birthday to me
One of these please:
Concept BMW
Coke Robot
This robot has been seen walking around Shibuya station in Tokyo - wouldn’t argue with it if it gave me the wrong change, especially when you see his previous exploits on the desktop version’s box:
Wonder what time it packs up for the day too - got visions of it wandering into a bad neighbourhood and getting filled right in.
No Spinning!
Extra-large 22 man foos table made by Amstel for Euro 2008.
Hamster powered paper shredder
Saw this in the paper this morning. It takes 45 minutes to shred a piece of A4 - which doesn’t make it the ideal choice for somebody trying to destroy ledgers before the police turn up - but I like the fact that the machine doing the recycling uses the recycled matter itself. Also made me think of this:
The revolving door that generates electricity - a great idea. Makes me think what else humans voluntarily move - exercise bikes, rowing machines etc - and how we could harness the energy.
