Cool bicycle parts clock

David Allen — Wed, 15 Jul 2009 19:00:04 +0000

The gears on the clock make it ideal for someone who likes the world of cycling and bikes. This clock has a nice shape to it. In fact, it is quite astonishing how wonderful the shape of this clock is, you do not really take much notice of it when there is a greasy chain wrap around it.

Features:

Requires one AA battery, not included.

A metal hanger is attached to the back of the clock for easy hanging.

Size: measures 6.5″ (16.51 cm) in diameter

Each chain ring is thoroughly cleaned before use with every effort made to bring out its very best, however, due to the recycled nature of this product some scratches may remain.

Priced at $36

Bed Made From Recycled 747 Jet Liner!

max — Fri, 13 Mar 2009 06:46:13 +0000

Boy, if you are like me, you will want to get one of these awesome eco-beds made from recycled 747 jet liner. It is classy and perfect fit for any home.

Besides a circle bed, you can probably just use it as a guest couch too. Of course, it would be nice if you can choose which 747 jet liner to re-make.

Prices aren’t listed but I am guessing it’s going to be in the $1000-2000 range for this kind of modification, you can find out here.

Let our new 747 Jet Liner Bed take you “round the world”. Round beds were popular in the 60’s and are now making a comeback, as they are a refreshing alternative to the rectangular bed. Using an authentic 747 engine nacelle cowling as the headboard, MotoArt combines an 84″ diameter round mattress and box spring for a perfect fit. This well traveled engine nacelle makes a very comfortable headboard and arm rest combination. The nacelle headboard finish is complete with acrylic automotive paint, mirror polished leading nose ring and green Plexiglas end caps for internal structure viewing.

Abyss Led Table Lamp

max — Wed, 15 Oct 2008 20:55:54 +0000

“Abyss” is a common SAT test word that means, “bottomless” or continuous motion without stop and this Abyss LED Table Lamp proves to do just that, a continuous structure of illumination that will go well with your platform bed and modern furniture.

Overall, I do highly like this design, although slightly costly for me at $500 a piece.

Design by Osko and Deichmann, 2007.
Table lamp with high voltage LED strip and modular structure in injection molded opal polycarbonate. The Abyss can be repositioned.

Dimensions 43.3″ diameter. Uses 10 watt LED strip.

Check out this really cool DIY on how to make a vertical wind turbine. This thing can produce some good amount of electricity for under $300.

With this one I am hoping to get the 100 watts.

Here is how I did it.

First we need:
–5 pvc tube. size 3″X10′ (hardware store)$48

–3 bike wheels. size 12″ (junk yard or ask your kid to use their bikes for a minute) maybe $5

–Ametek38 volt (ebay or surplus store) $60 (a problem with ametek, it needs 700 rpm to reach 14.1volt.

–Or buy windblue alternator (ebay) $250 it will only need 200prm to reach 14.1 volt

–1 square foot 1″ plywood or anything 12″ diameter (laying around)

– 3 X 2×4 X 12′ studs (from lumber store)$11

I am not going to name the tools, but I used the usual tools.

Check out this cool wooden clock made from all wood! Now, you can use this as reference to building your own.

“Her large, nearly 14” diameter wheel and unique escapement make Solaris the focal point of the room. Her unusual, and very forgiving escapement releases every two seconds with a sound quite unlike anything else. It is not your usual “Tick Tock.” Ten leaf pinions used throughout make for an extremely smooth mechanism. “

iPosture helps you become taller through Correct Posture!

max — Fri, 22 Aug 2008 18:00:36 +0000

Check out iPosture, a new wearable pendant that will vibrate any time you have a bad posture.

I think this iPosture will really help people with slouching upper body to look taller while saving their back.

The iPosture is an intuitive electronic device designed to improve posture. Just over one inch in diameter, the iPosture automatically senses when the body slouches, and it alerts the user with brief vibrations to correct it.

Magnet HACK – High-speed Magnetic Levitation / Floating Magnets Dude!

Here’s a great demonstration of a levitating magnet with 2 high-speed rotating cylinders.

Maybe someone can take this idea further and make us some hoverboards please!

While working on science museum exhibits in 1990 I came up with the above idea: it is known that a spinning metal disk will lift and fling a strong magnet. Therefore, metal rods with opposite spin will lift a magnet but WON’T fling it sideways. It works! I used “sched-80″ heavy wall copper tubes about 1-3/8″ diameter, 12″ long, with 1/4″ wall thickness. I hammered aluminum plugs into the tubes, carved shaft-tips with a lathe, built endblocks and bearings, spun them with an AC/DC motor, and managed to levitate a stack of two 3/4″ diameter neodymium magnets. The spinning tubes must move at about 5000 RPM before the magnet starts floating.

Bigger Diameter Contact Lenses for that Alien Look!

max — Tue, 12 Aug 2008 19:23:35 +0000

For people with small eyes or at least they don’t like to open their eye 100% (like me naturally), you can benefit from the extra, big contact lenses which can make you look like you never blink.

It seems that a few companies are now starting to produce Extra-Wide Contact Lenses which give you that deer-caught-in-the-headlights wide irised look. Ranging from prices between $30-$50 a pair, depending on the company you purchase from, cosplay was never this realistic.

$21,000 Wheel Speakers!

max — Sat, 09 Aug 2008 17:26:37 +0000

Yes, this $21,000 wheel-like speakers will blow you off as I would never pay that much for speakers.

Unless they mass-produce this and bring the price down around $210 not $21K, it will remain in the hands of uber-rich snobs who rather throw away money on gadgets like this.

Designed by Ron Arad and Frances Pellisari for Austria’s Viteo, the Freewheeler produces high quality stereo sound indoors or out. The speaker measures in at about 22.8″ tall x 9.8″ wide, making it just about the same diameter as the tires on a Mazda MX-5 Miata (and about 2x as thick).

LED Shower Light for shower in the Dark!

max — Wed, 04 Jun 2008 05:48:34 +0000

Like showering in the dark?

The LED Shower Light is a brilliant idea. It installs to a standard shower pipe in mere minutes. When you turn the shower on, the water powers a turbine and the LED Shower Light…well, lights up! Blue let’s you know the water is chilly. When the water warms up to 89° F (32° C), the light changes to red. Now you can step in and not freeze your giblets off. And you don’t even need to turn on the light now, because your whole shower glows. It makes for a much nicer morning, trust us. Oh, and if you are the adventurous type, it also makes showers a little more fun for two. Just saying, is all.

LED Shower Light

Blue light means the water is cold; Red light means it has warmed up to 89° F (32° C).
No batteries needed – powered by internal turbine.
Installs in minutes to standard shower pipes.
Includes a Flow Regulator that limits maximum water flow to 2.5 gallons per minute at 80 psi.
Approx. 4″ in diameter

StatoilHydro is building world’s first Floating Wind Turbine!

max — Mon, 26 May 2008 06:37:27 +0000

StatoilHydro is set to launch a full scale floating wind turbine that will open up a ocean-size opportunity of generating energy through wind.

A 2.3Mw wind turbine is attached to a Spar-buoy, similar to offshore loading buoys used in offshore gas mining.

The blades on the floating wind turbines will have diameter of 80 meters, rise 65 meters above sea surface, and also the floatation element will be 100 meters below the sea level anchored by 3 different points.

The wind tubines can be mounted on water depths from 120 to 700 meters initially so not every part of the ocean will be able to be utilized.

The company has already signed all contracts and is in testing phase so once this testing is completed successfully, we will be able to use the floating wind turbine in countless ways.

How will this change the world?

Well, if this floating wind turbine succeeds, we have almost limitless ocean to use this and generate power, meaning this might enough to generate enough electricity for a major seaside cities such as San Francisco where winds are always high but no floating wind turbines exist.

Parrallel Wind Turbine!

max — Thu, 15 May 2008 22:00:13 +0000

Check out this awesome parrallel wind turbine that can generate easy 200 watts at 20mph wind! Pretty simple concept but well executed with patent pending too.

An easy 200 watts in about a 20 mph wind or so, lighting the four 50 watt car
headlight bulbs you see at Doug’s feet. We get much more power than this in
higher winds. This kind of power output is unheard of for an 18″ diameter
horizontal axis windmill! – the secret? Multi-Rotor technology, made possible
by the strength of modern carbon fiber materials.
This rotor is really thirteen rotors harnessed as one, giving an order of
magnitude (~10 times) more power than a single rotor design of the same diameter.
In stronger winds this prototype blows out these lights like flashbulbs – poof!
