Generate Electricity From All Those Cars

Generate Electricity From All Those Cars

What if we used the kinetic energy from fast moving vehicles to change a magnetic field to generate electricity? Apply the same methodology to high-speed rails and you’ve got yourself a new power source sort of speak. Benefits? Higher efficiency of generating electricity, relatively simple installation and infrastructure, no pollution and it’s not affected by most weather conditions.

What A Wave

What A Wave

The Eaux Eaux sink is quite a take on the oceanic wave! Its simple form, in one fluid motion, integrates the spout into the basin. It’s like the flow and ebbing of the waves in a synchronized dance. The base is secured into a recessed counter top while the stainless steel body is glam-ed up with a blush of paint. The overall effect is perfect!

The Obvious Turn

The Obvious Turn

It can’t get simpler than this! Ever so regularly my apartment block attendant comes to each floor to service the fire extinguishers and turn the canister around. Apparently they should be regularly shaken to prevent the powder inside from hardening. To make this important element obvious, the Turnover Extinguisher adopts the hourglass form, with the countdown timer, so that when the time’s up, you know instinctively to shake the extinguisher and keep it functional. No reminder needed!
