DishMaker Means Never Having to Clean Your Plate
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech, Science,
Yesterday we introduced you to an artist who designed a machine to toss beer. Today we have found Leonardo Obonanni, researcher at MIT’s Medialab, designer, and artist, who has created the DishMaker. Beginning with an acrylic disc, his gadget can create plates and different sizes of bowls and cups out of the same material. When you finish your meal, you simply melt it back to its original shape so that it can be recycled when you need another kitchen vessel. Obonanni claims the same disc can be recycled up to 100 times. We assume that you have to actually rinse it first, but imagine the colorful designs you can create out of pizza crust and orange peel.

The Titanic Rises in Tennessee
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Home Entertainment, Misc. Tech, Movies,
If you think owning the Ultimate Outdoor Theatre is a little opulent, maybe you would prefer watching your movies in this Titanic Home Theatre. A collaboration between interior designer Donny Hackett of Casa Cinema Design and AV engineer Mike VanParys of PAVE (Professional Audio Video Engineering,) the room was created for a local Parade of Homes showcase in Tennessee.
The dome features 1,230 fiber optic lights for a night sky effect and acoustic panels have been placed around the room to account for its echo. The 20 x 4-foot theatre comes with a custom-made 120-inch Vidikron Model 30 ET projector screen and Tru Audio surround sound. The owners even added a Titanic replica to the mix. Casa Cinema Design had previously built a Mann’s Chinese Theatre Entertainment Center, which we are thinking could better sustain us during this year’s hurricane season.

Beer Launching Fridge Forgoes Need to Refill

Robotic Beer Launching Refrigerator
With a spark of creativity, or maybe just out of plain laziness, couch potato John Cornwell has managed to invent a gadget that can aim and toss him a beer from his automated, remote controlled, mini-fridge. Directed by keyless entry, and with a capacity to hold 10 brews and 14 more in reserve, he can keep a case of the brew and not have to get up between football quarters. We’re hoping that John can also create a device that can toss us another can of Pringles.

Tesla-Coil Protects Cars
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Science, Transportation,
We have always dug the Plasma Sphere that has become a mainstay at Spencer’s Gifts for as long as we can remember. This Tesla-coil automobile protector makes that phenomenon look like a mere toy. Australian Peter Terren placed a ring of electricity (which has been nicknamed “The Lord of the Rings’” Eye of Sauron) around the car by attaching a 4-inch coil to a boom on the roof of a rented vehicle since he doesn’t own one. We know it’s just a concept, still it is an awesome piece of work.

Doom Video Projected on Sarajevo Hotel
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Misc. Tech, Video Games,
In a situation that we believe has life imitating art, Italian designer Damiano Colacito has created “Face of Doom,” a video that has been projected on the ruins on Sarajevo’s Hotel Europa as the opener for the XXIII International Festival this month. It stars Taggart Flynn, commonly known as the “Doom Guy” amongst gamers of this 1993 first-person shoot-’em-up. As Flynn’s energy level decreases, his face becomes more distorted and distraught and is used as a metaphor for the city that suffered during the war. Fortunately, he regains his energy level to 100% by the end of the video.

Toss away your antiquated desk and chair and replace it with a Gravitonus Ergonomic Workstation. The gadget was invented by Russian scientists who are involved in injury research.

ErgoChair Helps Cure Slouching
Posted by Sheila Franklin Categories: Design, Smart Home, Misc. Tech,
There are scads of ergonomical products on the market and we decided to add this one to the “It looks good, but does it really work?” category. Dr. Rider’s Ergochair promises relief from back pains and leg cramps even if you slouch. Easy to assemble, the chair’s cushion can be inflated or deflated for your height, or even removed for stretching or exercising use. The company claims that you can improve your posture in as little as one week. Available online for $159.99, we’re thinking that the lady pictured here looks like she has just laid an industrial egg.
