Another example of the use of vegetables for the benefit of humanity offers designer from Israel Seagull Shapiro (Cygalle Shapiro), the creation of which was shown at the exhibition Milan Furniture Fair. So, incredible desktop LED-lamp is quite a can be powered by ordinary … tomatoes!

According to the author of the project, lamp power can get by connecting electrodes to the tomatoes and the ongoing chemical reaction between acid, zinc and copper. This project is not only the lighting function, but a demo, clearly showing the way, how, and where the receipt of necessary energy.

Although such a "tomato" lamp uses organic source of energy, still the amount of vegetables needed for the work of one such lamp is very high. Another important point is that the lamp will operate up until tomatoes spoil.

It is unlikely that such a concept ever to appear on store shelves and will be in demand. Soree, such a thing belongs to the category of art, to which now include a good half of all sorts of stuff from industrial designers.

Question on filling – how to keep in the hands of a cup of fragrant hot tea, not to burn yourself, if this cup does not have a pen?

Apparently, the American designer, Andree Heino (Endrit Hajno) at the time, too, pondered the matter and, using his talent and imagination, offered to the public a conceptual model of a tea cup called «Double Wall Tea Cup», or, in the Russian language, " two-layered cup of tea ".

As is clear from the title, a cup different from their own kind that is not one layer of the walls, and two, between which there is free space, which prevents heating of the outer layer. And even if you pour a hot liquid inside, his hands burn would be impossible. But there is one drawback of this approach – even now, if necessary, as, for example, dank autumn day, warm hands will be difficult.

But back to the pluses. In the bottom of the cup has a seizure, for which it is very convenient to attach labels tea bags. And brew will only tea, without the paper:)

In short, the work of designer deserves the highest praise, but until this project never saw the light.

By задумке Oliver, Zeo Mouse should be made of superlegkih materials that are unlikely to enjoy the gamers who have, by contrast, need to feel as good as possible manipulator.

However, judging by the trend to make all the superfine and superlegkim, this concept can be realized in the near future.

Eugene Chong (Eugene Cheong) from the University of New South Wales (University of New South Wales), Australia, created the concept of the guitar under the name Maestro with Automatic learning of young guitarist by the projection of Tabs on the neck by laser beams.

All you need to do a guitar-«samoigrayke», is the SD-card with the file formats, MIDI, MP3 or WAV. Electronics herself would have to analyze the song and, as has been said, by laser beams to project Tabs at the neck.

However, taking into account that the Maestro – only a concept, it is possible with certainty to doubt that the guitar will be able to fly to detect any file to MP3 or WAV. Most likely will have to create a specially adapted with a guitar song, how it is done, for example, Guitar Hero.
