Kinetic Rain, a visual delight

Dear minimalist readership,

If you were to be making a journey which passed through Singapore’s Changi Terminal 1, you would be in for a visually spectacular treat like no other. The installation ‘Kinetic Rain’, sees 608 beautifully copper-plated aluminium raindrops each individually suspended and controlled by a custom built control hub. The ‘raindrops’ fall and rise in synchronistic harmony creating amazing patterns, forms and shapes.

What happens when you take a group of dentists and introduce them to a group of engineers?

You get Blizzident, the world’s first 6 second, all encompassing, omnidirectional, tooth, gum and tongue brush… and flossing device. Obviously.

Blizzident

The product is made by taking a 3D scan of the users mouth. The data is then used create a fully personalised ‘toothbrush’ which looks to place bristles facing directly into each tooth and gap within the mouth.

Dyson Awards 2013 – Shortlist

Dear minimalist readership,

It’s that time of year when we see all manner of interesting products and student designers rear their heads to hopefully claim the accolade of winning the prestigious James Dyson Award. Previous winning designs have included a water delivery system for the agricultural market, a portable buoyancy device and an automatic, retro-fitted, kitchen fire suppression kit (and one hell of a mouthful!).

This year’s products are looking as diverse and innovative as ever. Having read through this year’s shortlist I want to bring your attention the products that caught my attention and are worthy of praise. So without further-ado:

Revolights

This concept has been floating around the internet for nearly two years now, when a small but (by the looks of it) hugely successful KickStarter project helped bring this product to manufacture. Revolights work like no other lights you have used on your bike before. Instead of your standard handlebar adorned shiners, Revolights looks to bring the light source to where it is needed, the ground!

The construction of Revolights sees a ring of LEDs fitted to the rim of each wheel. Then using a system which utilises magnets and accelerometers, the LEDs light up to face forward and backward respectively for the front and rear wheels.

Titan Arm

Primarily designed for those that have fallen victim to a disabling illness or injury, whilst increasing arm strength by 175N the device records movement and load data applied to the device so a doctor or occupational therapist can track the progress and improvement of a patient.

Cortex

Cortex provides a unique 3D cast for fractures and breaks on the human body. Aside from the incredibly mesmerising form of Cortex, this concept improves upon the traditional plaster cast by providing a lightweight, waterproof, ergonomic, ventilated alternative that even allows the user to scratch those irritating itches beneath the cast. The product is designed by taking a 3D scan of the users arm (or other broken appendage) to develop the overall shape of the cast. An algorithm is then used to make the cast as lightweight as possible whilst still maintaining it’s strength. Extra material can also be added to specific areas related to the fracture or break to ensure maximum protection is maintained.

What Is Infertility?: According to the National Infertility Association, approximately one in eight couples in the United States-about 12 percent of the reproductive-age population-experience fertility problems and viagra online consultation have difficulty making a penetration. Take it seriously, but don’t worry because erectile Continue to shop canadian viagra samples dysfunction treatment in Kolkata is conducted safely and securely. Why Kamagra Is Preferred More Than order generic cialis ? Most of the ED drugs are prescription drugs and Silagra 100mg Tablets are available in oral medications that inhibit PDE5 enzymes and deal with erectile dysfunction (ED). The greatest benefit one can experience from an option to shop at link purchase levitra or levitra is the firmness in erection.

Cortex

Sono

Sono is a nice concept device designed to fit to your bustling city flat window and aims to reduce or cancel all exterior noises polluting your fortress of solitude. Having seen products which look to turn your windows into speakers, one can only assume that this product is looking to achieve the same principle but instead of blasting your favourite tunes into your living room it’s providing a wave cancelling sound. One neat feature the final product may possess, from watching the humorous video, is the ability to isolate wanted and unwanted frequencies to turn those noisy cars into the sound of the birds tweeting outside.

Roam

Oxygen therapy is apparently the quickest way to treat somebody suffering from a severe asthma attack. Conventional oxygen tanks are heavy and cumbersome making them impractical . Roam is a light weight respiratory device that looks to provide oxygen therapy to children in an intuitive and easy to use form. The product sees an aesthetically pleasing design coupled with an innovative nasal mask to gently rest upon the users face while they breathe in oxygen.
