Hasta La Ideas

Smoke masks and smoke detectors can mean the difference between life and death in the event of a house fire – so why not combine the two?! The first design of its kind, the TaG mask actually detects smoke itself and emits a sound signal that alerts victims and makes it easier to find in a smokey room. Furthermore, TaG uses flashing LEDs and a built-in sonorous locator to help rescuers evacuate those in danger. Genius! Check out the vid to see how it works!

The life jacket is one of the most significant humanitarian designs in history and even in its simplest form it is responsible for saving countless lives each year. Designer Winslow Harte expands on its versatility by applying a variety of modern technologies that specifically aims to help those in danger of tsunamis. Embedded LED lights and a built-in GPS beacon make search and rescue efforts easier and a material blend of Duralite grid-weave, mesh pockets and Velcro flaps ensure its durability and ease of use.

The cell phone that holds its charge for 15 years on just a single AA battery

Relying on just one AA battery, the newly launched SpareOne mobile phone holds its power for an astonishing 15 years, with 10 hours of consecutive talk time on a single charge. Developed by industry giant XPAL Power—which also makes the combined battery pack and phone case PowerSkin—SpareOne’s basic interface may not have the bells and whistles of an iPhone, but it works well for kids or seniors who need to carry a phone in case of emergency.

The SpareOne works optimally with an Engergizer Ultimate Lithium AA battery—another XPAL Power product—but will operate with any alkaline, NiMH or Lithium power source. The lightweight, compact design is also ideal for outdoor adventurists who want to stay in contact, but without the bulk of a smart phone or the worry of losing a more valuable device.

Premiering this week at Las Vegas’ CES, theSpareOne will soon be available online for a moderate $50, with various versions created specifically for the U.S., European and Asian markets.

Da chiusa ha le dimensioni di un portachiavi ma aperta ci potete mettere dentro qualsiasi cosa! Impermeabile e disponibile in due taglie: M e L.
