What an interesting design of portable shop system. Nebo consists of a beverage backpack and a vendor’s tray. It’s been design specially for selling beverages and ice cream at festivals, sports events or big events where sellers can use a trolley. It’s a very eye-catching product, it offers a comfortable way of selling food and drinks. The main part of this backpack is covered with a UV resistant foil to keep its temperature, the bag is made of water resistant textile. At the back, there are several adjustable straps to firmly hold the user’s back.

Nebo was completed in cooperation with the company Taracell, as an innovation project. Taracell‘s interest was in new innovative products made of expanded polypropylene (EPP), their core business. The decision for this product was based on the typical characteristics of the material: the lightness, the thermal insulation and its shock resistance are all of great value for this product. Although the product is not new, the approach and the design are. Most existing products are all for maximum advertising space, ours is for maximum appeal and semantic implication. Its design should evoke a cool refreshment, therefore we chose a penguin as the semantic role model.

Portable Bike Pump Design by Alastair Warren

Having a flat tire in the middle of a ride is certainly a bad thing for bike riders. The good news is that flat tires are easy to repair. One of the tools to fix flat tires is portable bike pump; you really should carry this tool for a long distance cycling. Alastrain Warren, an industrial designer, did some research on existing bike pump in the market. He found out that current bike pump mechanisms give poor user experience and radical new approach is needed. He started to design a portable bike pump for New Zealand mountain bikers. The pump has slightly ergonomic oval shape for greater air capacity while at the same time maintaining a comfortable hand grip. It features four axis of flexibility, comfortable stroke, and flexible nozzle. The regular weight and size makes this pump look like any other bike pump, but it offers a completely new level of comfort and efficiency not just for professional bikers, but also for recreational bike riders.

These days, it’s really hard to survive without our electrical devices. For me, I couldn’t live without my cell phone, laptop, and ipod. One fundamental problem with our dependence to those electronic gadgets is the power supply. Cyclus is the solution for generating power without giving negative impact to our environment. No, it’s not another solar panel gadget. Cyclus has been designed to generate power anytime, anywhere. Its main power source is “spring” and 12V DC motor, user can twist the bottom component of the product. For the next 30 minutes, Cyclus constantly generates power that is strong enough to charge your daily portable gadgets.

Water accident happens all the time. Unfortunately even thought with great rescue systems we have at the moment, sometimes, they are unable to reach the victim in a timely fashion. For this reason, Samuel Adeloju, an industrial designer, designed “Longreach”. It is a portable water-activated conveyance system that turns into a buoyancy device to help victims from drowning situation. This device is designed to help victims to remain buoyant while rescue personnel prepare the appropriate response to the situation. Once this rescue unit contacts the water, it uses hydrophobic or rapidly expanding foam to provide buoyancy. This allows the package to be vastly smaller in size than any currently existing buoyancy device.

LongReach Buoyancy Deployment System

The project is designed in three components; the rescue package, the propulsion system and the storage mount.

The rescue package uses hydrophobic or rapidly expanding foam to provide buoyancy once the package contacts the water. This allows the package to be vastly smaller in size than any currently existing buoyancy device. To reach the victim a very simple range-finder is implemented to significantly improve rescue package accuracy. The propulsion system uses a low yield butane-oxygen mix propelling the device to target up to 150m.

Equipped with a light for attracting attention, the shape of the rescue package also allows it to whistle when traveling through the air, aiding in directional trajectory perception. The system is stored in a wall mount similar to a fire extinguisher and is equipped with Para-flares for night-time illumination and distress signaling.

With a shape of a big “C”, it seems like the smart coffee maker is screaming saying Coffeeeeee, which will entice even the king of coffee dislikers to have a full cup of coffee prepared by MiCoffee. This personal brewing station features compact and handy size along with glossy finished body and is perfect to be used at the dorm, apartment or home office. The ability of pouring coffee directly to the mug is flourished with the pressure sensitive touch pad that tells the appliance to start releasing the liquid as soon as a mug is placed on it. However, you should be careful not to give some pressure on it with your fingers unless you want to make someone hot and wet. Ingredients are placed into the rear cylinder and the simple 3 button interface enables users to prepare various size beverages in no time.
