DIY Seed Bottle Idea: Plant an Instant Indoor Herb Garden. All but Invisible: Minimalist ‘Air’ Camera is Light & Portable. Ask yourself: what does a digital camera actually need to do?
Really, it comes down to a device with a lens, a means of activating it and perhaps an on/off button for downtime between shoots – and perhaps one so portable and integrated that it really can capture candid shots around your friends and family this holiday season. Hence, the ultra-simple Air Clicker by Yeon Su Kim that requires only a pair of silicone rings that wrap a pair of your fingers – easy to (literally) keep on hand, thus quick to deploy when the moment is right. The camera portion on the thumb recognizes the relative position of the other elongated finger ring, sensing whether it is at rest or in a bent position indicating an intended click – if the latter, it takes a picture and send it wirelessly to your local mobile device. Alas, yes, still only a prototype. Unique T-Shirts: Casual Tee Shirt Designs in Tea Bag Sizes. Designs like these starts with a simple slip of language sometimes: ‘hey, what if instead of tees we went with teas – little bags that look like shirts?’
Someone asks, and the rest is history – a casual language choice becomes a creative and unique new design idea. Anyone want to try on a tiny tee bag, or wear a tea shirt? Confusing, sure, but clever and cute as well. Like colorful plastic hangers in miniature form and an alternate material, the triangular paper tops of each tea bag suspend the t-shirt-shaped transparent form below – which can then drop off into a cup while remaining connected via a string like its more conventionally-shaped cousin. Of course this iteration is fairly simple – limited hanger-only color options, simple white tee shirts and so forth, but now imagine if designer t-shirt companies get into the mix?
Solar Bottle Lamps: Water + Bleach = 10,000 Liters of Light. Who says you can’t bottle (and distribute) genius?
Developed in Brazil to address under-illuminated slums, this simple design idea has been adopted by MIT students and expanded to other developing areas where many low-income homes lack access to either daylight or electricity. The physics of the concept are straightforward: the bottles are placed in roofs – half outside, half inside – and their lower portions refract light like 60-Watt light bulb but without the need for a power source.
A few drops of bleach serve to keep the water clear, clean and germ-free for years to come. In total, one of these do-it-yourself lights takes maybe an hour to install, cutting an appropriate hole, inserting a bleached-water-filled bottle, and resealing around the resulting gap. Even where clean water is rare, a little can generally be spared for a half-decade of lighting. Hourglass-Inspired Tea Timer both Times & Steeps Hot Tea. No unnecessary bells or whistles (let alone a power cord) are needed for this elegantly simple tea timer-and-steeper to do its job.
Just pour, screw, tip and wait. A pair of identical glass vessels twist together mechanically via a plastic joiner piece to form the sealed middle between two hourglass-shaping bulbs, each sized for a single two-person serving of tea. Three settings in the middle allow the user to select a duration for the steeping process, depending on tea types and personal preferences. Once flipped, the top glass drains into the bottom and the loose leaves linger above – beautifully elemental and visually useful. Designed by Pengtao Yu.
