Easy Glider

Posted in: flying, Glider, hanglider, plane

Alexander Shevchenko’s Delta hang-glider explores the use of new materials that are more efficient to fix or replace in common occurrences like breaks, cracks or other damage. Composed primarily of laminated foam, the winged structure maintains rigidity and lightness necessary for flight but can also be easily and cheaply repaired, replaced, and recycled.

Retro Brick Phone

Posted in: Art-Lebedev-Studio, Cellphones, Just 5

If we imagine a world without Smartphones, then it’s easy to picture this Just 5 Brick Phone by Art Lebedev Studio as a must-have. However, we do live in the world of Technicolor so a large-key, monochromatic graphics-display phone sounds a bit off. Or does it? Specs like retractable antenna, radio, alarm clock, flashlight, calculator, calendar, handheld meter, only one game – “Race” and mapping are nostalgic. The winner of course is the one-week battery power. Will you trade this for your iPhone or Samsung Galaxy?

Monitor Your Vision

Posted in: Correction, eyesight, i-Free, Jongwoo Choi, screen

Imagine being able to stare at your computer screen all day long without your glasses or contact lenses. A farfetched though for myopic folks like me, unless we undergo surgery; or we see the fruition of the i-Free concept. The idea is to have auto-correcting screen that portrays images according to the prescription number you have. This ways you strain your eyes lesser and it helps your vision in the long run. I’m all ears to know more if this idea is plausible; any comments?

i-Free is a 2013 iF Design Award winner.

Fool-Proof Perfect Lines

Posted in: scissors

Unless you have a guillotine-style paper cutter, cutting in a straight line is near impossible! The Linear Scissors, however, take the heavy equipment out of the equation and are so easy to use that premarking the line with a pencil isn’t even necessary. The solution: handles with a built-in right angle that square up to the edge of any table, making it possible to cut perfectly straight. Better yet, the handle’s shape diverts the excess material out of the way while cutting. Genius!

Magnetic Dumbbell

Posted in: dumbbell, Hongseok Kim, Juhyeon Lee, magnetic, o2, Suhyun Yoo

Looking for a variation in your exercise routine? How about the O2 Magnetic Dumbbell, one that allows you to do many different exercises thanks to the embedded electromagnets. One of the biggest advantages that these dumbbells possess is that thanks to their compact size and magnetism, they are easily transportable. They adjust to all kinds of training routines as we can simply switch the polarity of electromagnets and get going.

Features

The strength of these electromagnets can be set by adjusting the level of electric power according to the work out intensity wanted by the user.
It is no longer necessary to carry different regular dumbbells for ten different work out levels, instead only one magnetic dumbbell will always meet the current needs of different training intensity levels.
By integrating the push-pull power of the embedded electromagnets, users are no longer bound to the local gym.
The display indicates 8-circled bars which each represents an additional weight of 3kg.
The user can conveniently choose the right training weight ranging from 3kg to 24kg at a glance.
The user can follow the repetitions of each training-set as they are indicated on the display in the middle of the device.
