Demain, l’auto mobile ? Six question à Michael Oualid, porteur du Free Car Project
Et si on réinventait le modèle économique de l’automobile ? Prenons le Free Car Project, dont nous avons récemment chanté les louanges : qui a eu cette idée folle, d’un jour inventer la voiture gratuite ? Réponse : Michael Oualid, qui se présente sur son blog avec cette formule sans équivoque : « je pense que l’Automobile a raté le virage du XXIème siècle. » Suite à notre publication, contact a été pris avec Michaël, qui a accepté de répondre à quelques questions sur la genèse de son projet, et le regard plus global qu’il porte sur l’évolution des mobilités. Un regard précieux, tant il décrit avec acuité les errances de l’automobile qui l’ont lentement plongée dans l’abysse… et par conséquent, la manière dont on peut l’en sortir. Pour plus d’informations sur le projet lui-même, on se reportera à l’excellent blog que Michael anime sur Slate, et aux divers interviews qu’il a donné cet été (ici ou là). Pourriez-vous présenter votre projet en quelques mots ?
Nova Labs | Rediscover the joy of making things
Editors Note: This is a guest blog post by Beth Riddick, who grows and sells Heirloom Tomato seedlings at her home at 792 Grant St, Herndon, VA to raise money for Nova Labs FIRST Robotics teams. This year’s sale will be held SATURDAY (TODAY) APRIL 26th from 9AM to NOON. I saw first hand how Robotics benefited both my kids, even though they are very different from each other. After my son, Ian, took part in Tom Welsh’s LEGO Robotics team, he started to say how he really loved math and wanted to program robots for a living. FIRST Robotics gives young inventors a way to pursue their passion, the same way that sports programs give athletes a chance to perform at their best. Just as we give every kid a chance to try sports, we need to make Robotics available to every child. And since I can’t coach, I fundraise! Rather than sell the tomatoes themselves, we sell the seedlings for gardeners to grow their own plants. This pic was taken about a week ago. Beth Riddick Robot Tomatoesrobottomatoes.org

The project Help Woodself to grow and to remain free! www.woodself.com is a simple idea that has been running through the web for several months: offer do-it-yourselfers a full service of free customized woodworking plans. Customized furniture plans Concept is playful: in just a few clicks, standard furniture can be customized by choosing for instance the width, the height or the shelves layout. Once happy with their design, web users can submit their configuration and the detailed woodworking plans get instantly generated: exploded view, side or front views, part details, list of all parts identified with a label, holes location. At that stage, woodworkers have everything in hands to begin with their furniture project. More furniture Everything starts with a standard piece of furniture, ready to get customized. Now, Woodself has to expand its furniture catalog so that visitors can find the design that suits their need. More services Why fund it? To increase the website traffic!

Hydrobee Harvests Water Energy for USB Power to Go by Burt Hamner
The idea for Hydrobee came naturally. The co-founders of Hydrobee SPC, Burt and Dane, first worked together at Hydrovolts, a company Burt founded in 2007 to make hydrokinetic turbines for big water systems like irrigation canals. Burt hired Dane as the industrial designer. After Burt grew the company to 11 people Hydrovolts was sold to one of its investors early in 2013. Burt had learned that some makers of hands-free faucets and toilets are using tiny turbines in water pipes to power the remote sensors. Burt rebuilt a small turbine from a water flow-meter and confirmed that it made over 18V from his home water faucet, enough to charge several phones at once. Our design advantage: Few inventors are lucky enough to work with an industrial designer like Dane Roth. Soda-sized for a reason! The Hydrobee Turbine Battery is exactly the size and shape of a 12-ounce soda can. Dane produced a full design with our Autodesk software. Hydrobee Turbine Battery: Hydrobee Stream Body:
