This energy efficient clock uses light and a single gap on its surface to tell you the time. That’s why it’s called “Light Gap”. Light Gap is a simple clock that has nothing but a gap on its surface. You need to place it near glass window in order for this clock to draw solar energy from the sun. This energy powers its rotation. During the day, you can tell the time from the sunlight filtered through the gap. At night, this clock’s gap will illuminate the hour hand with its LED lights powered by the energy stored during the day. This clock has been designed to be able to sense the strength of the light in its environment; therefore, the LEDs will illuminate gradually to make sure you can always see the light which tells the time.

Even though the antiretroviral drugs to keep HIV in check have been introduced in sub-Saharan Africa around 6 years ago, there are still many rural people who are living with this fatal virus due to lack of convenience of taking the pills. Empower by Me is an all-in-one medication tool kit that incorporates 12 nutritional bars to meet food scarcity, vitamins, aspirins for side-effects, antiretroviral drugs (ARVS) for an entire month and a portable timing device. The timing device carries a drug container and can notify the users when its time to take a pill, also a packet of food, aspirins and vitamins can be integrated inside the container for emergency support. The drug container can hold drugs for one week and can be replaced when it’s empty. Moreover, using affordable materials to make the kits will increase job opportunities, which in terms will create hope for the future African generation.

What happens when there is no power supply in the street light, in worse case, what if the light is broken? Unless you have a bionic eye or using a night vision goggles, walking through a congested road during dark nights would be a horrible experience.

Sunflower street lighting not only eliminates the power issue through solar photovoltaic modules on the upper surface of the lamps, it ensures that if for any reason one light goes down, other lights will still continue to work. Moreover, incorporating the LED light instead of usual fluorescent bulb has made the concept up to eight times more efficient, cost effective and eco-friendly by reducing the mission of CO2. Each lighting consists 5 individual lamps on different cell modules and comprises one battery only to store the energy gathered from the sun during daytime. Finally, it the sunflower like appearance of the concept will enhance the décor of a city just like a thrived garden with lots of bloomed sunflower.

System For Effectively Combating Oil Slick Ensures Fast And Efficient Functionalities

On August 13, 2010, in Concepts, by admin

If you search for oil spill damages on google, you will certainly get anxious knowing the horrible harm it is doing to our environment. The situation gets worse when the oil spill occurs due to explosion on oil fields situated in sea surfaces where removing the oils become almost impossible. System for effectively combating oil slick has been designed to reinforce maritime emergency fighters to face massive oil spill situations. Several units of this system are envisioned to be stored in airports near the seashore that can be dropped in the desired spot through aircrafts. As soon as the system hits the oil surface, a symmetric system of tubes gets radically inflated under water through a gas cartridge. A finely woven net gets stretched up by the tubes and bonds oil without any chemicals. Finally, these systems can be retrieved by boats by hitching the ring like binding. Each system can cover up to 2000 square meter area under any weather condition. To make it even more functional, radar reflectors and GPS have been incorporated with the system for easy locating and ultrasonic sounds to keep seabirds away.

When power would be the most concerned issue for future civilization, designing energy efficient product is not enough; rather, power generating systems that can transform natural energy into usable power is more important. Aard concept combines a wind and solar power accumulating system into a sleek and simple product with a goal to contribute to the future power requirements.

This concept with a round shape features flexible photovoltaic modules that can accumulate solar power during daytime, also when wind gets strong, the ball starts with spin and produces electricity through the dynamos with each of the eight wings. The aluminum construction with basic blue color have given the product a beautiful look that can complement to the urban architectural environment as well as areas that are covered by nature. Moreover, the round shape of the product eliminates the need of turn and adjusting it according to the direction of sunshine.

The inefficiency of existing transportation system and the possible more alarming situation in the future has turned designers over the world conscious about envisioning more effective and sustainable city commuting system. Bicyclus concept is one of these great attempts specially designed for Copenhagen that incorporate a compact, lightweight and stylish bike, produced by reusing abandoned bikes of the city, along with an engaging bike sharing system where citizens can have great opportunity to choose their desired kind of bikes according to their needs. The system comprises modular bike stations from where aside from booking a bike, users can connect with social network and share their knowledge about the city to guide others through it. By reusing bike junks, this concept will complement the environment while educating people about sustainable behaviors.
