The Dyson Challenge

The Dyson Challenge

Every year, in a competition we call Challenge Dyson, Dyson engineers are given a design brief outside their everyday job. It’s our way of encouraging engineers to stretch the bounds of their imagination and follow through on improbable ideas. It’s this “wrong thinking” approach that has led to Dyson’s most important inventions. This year’s brief: engineer a machine that can fly and navigate a course made from Dyson parts (looks similar to a drone!).

Aurora Lights In My Tub!

Aurora Lights In My Tub!

Thanks to the development of phosphorescence in glass and ceramic glazing, it is possible to make the edges of the toilet, basin and bath highlighted. It kinda adds a cool funk to your bath time fun! The bath outlet features a push bar above the gentle stream of hot water, which runs down the side of the bath, thus reducing heat loss through the environment.

In Case Of Emergency… Smash The Glass

In Case Of Emergency… Smash The Glass

Based on the principles of a slingshot, the Escape Shot is a handy tool that helps you break the glass of the bus’s window, when trapped in an accident. The tool is simple to operate and doesn’t require much force to shatter the glass. Fashioned in such a way that both women and children can use it easily, this tool is a must-have for all buses.

iCan

iCan

The flip-top soda can has remained unchanged for decades, but that doesn’t mean there aren’t improvements to be made! The iCan explores new solutions for spilling prevention, keeping carbonation fresh and eliminating harmful bacteria with an aluminum twist top that uses a similar amount of material as the classic tab. Gotta see the vid to see how it works!

A Touch of Class for iPhone

A Touch of Class for iPhone

Bissol’s latest mobile timepiece is an elegant addition to the iPhone 5(s) that merges a classic timepiece to the modern smartphone. The 2000 Calibre here features an automatic mechanical Swiss movement suspended by a unique single bridge. Its precision one-piece construction allows the user to see the inner workings of the clock in an interesting contrast to the minimal, enclosed look of the iPhone.

Creeping Shade Light

Creeping Shade Light

This utilitarian lighting design is unrecognizable as a bedside lamp, but highly effective & energy saving. Named Capsule for its oblong shape, the lamp features an internal solar panel that collects energy during the day. To activate, simply lift the top of the shade to reveal a diffused, frosted glow. The adjustable lampshade features two different modes of operation – reading mode & damping mode. In reading mode, the shade remains static. In damping mode, however, it very slowly gravitates down, turning itself off once it reaches the bottom.

Under Pressure

Under Pressure

The queue is long, the pressure is building up and all the stalls in the toilet are taken. Sounds familiar? Most often some of the stalls have faulty door indicators and are actually empty. The 35′ – Bathroom Stall Door Indicator ensures that the empty stalls are not wrongly indicated and everyone gets to use them. Smart!

Power Touchscreen

Power Touchscreen

Energy Touch is a concept that gets me into my wishful thinking mode. More like what if we had screenguards so advanced, that they harness the energy from our finger’s touch, every time we use a touchscreen device. Designer Chin-Po Tsai has his own explanation for his theory, which I am sure many of you would like to debate. The question is, can we see this happening in the future? Will we get to that stage at all?

Modern Throwback Moto

Modern Throwback Moto

In pure cafe racer style, the Monocasco pays homage to retro motorcycle designs, but with a modern compact electric motor in substitute of a twin petrol engine normally found in this style. Its combination of slim fairs, single tube headlight, and fat tires give it a late 60s racer vibe. Fast looking, but not aggressive, this fashionable bike is one that the ladies will love.

Why didn't Apple think of this?

Why didn’t Apple think of this?

This might just be the feature that Apple needed to give their iPhone 5S and 5C release the “oomph” it needed! OptUX lets users get the most from the 5′s larger screen size without sacrificing ergonomics. The interface can tell if you are holding the phone in your left or right hand, automatically articulating the apps in that direction so their within reach of your thumb. Perfect for working with one hand!

Sterile Hands

Sterile Hands

Purell and other hand sanitizers do a good job at keeping hands clean, but they do lack the sense of giving a complete hand wash. Some sanitizers leave a sticky sensation in the hands! Offering another portable and eco-friendly solution is the Electrolux HandCleaner Project. It could do with some design refinements, but scores well in the solution-thinking part. Read on to know more.
