Eco Hack - Eco-friendly Chair pumps itself by walking!

A Korean-born designer has designed what seems like “air bubble” chair that pumps itself when you walk.
I think this is a really great idea for concerts and outdoor events where people have to stand constantly.
For example, it would be great to have this while watching Tiger Woods play in a real PGA Tournament, you’d have a chair for every hole you are at. (or wherever you are at)
Just don’t take the bus with the chair inflated, make sure to deflate the thing first.
Artist and interactive designer, JooYoun Paek takes the cake on that front with her recently revealed Self-Sustainable Chair, a wearable piece of furniture which is a dress where the butt inflates into a chair through pumps in the shoes. Paek hopes the provocative art piece will “transform the humdrum experiences produced by routine walking commutes into an amusing interactive performance.” Featured at this weekend’s Conflux Festival, her quirky and intriguing project suggests that rest and walk can be balanced by re-thinking the function of what we wear.

Cool, New York City is going bonkers with waterfalls, even one on a bridge!
Public Art Fund, working in partnership with Tishman Construction Corporation, engaged a team of almost 200 design, engineering and construction professionals to build the Waterfalls, which are constructed with building elements that are ubiquitous throughout New York. Actual construction scaffolding forms the backbone of the Waterfalls, and pumps will cycle water from the East River to the top of each structure before it falls back into the river. Following the completion of The New York City Waterfalls in October, all scaffolding will be re-used in subsequent construction projects.

This is either a great way of looking after customers by providing the latest news stories while you fill up or it is an ingenious way of making spend more money by putting you off from looking at how much fuel you are putting into your car.
I can see this causing hold ups and all sorts of problems at the pumps during the busy periods, but this is the age of technology and I suppose that we should be getting used to seeing this in all the places that we visit.
I would spend the whole evening there and not bother to go home.
