Concept Bike Made of Plastic

May 27th, 2010

Izzy Plastic Urban Bike ConceptToday we’re going to talk about bikes, the little two-wheeled transportation we love. As we all know, the conventional bicycles are made of metals (like iron, steel, or some others), as cars are basically made of metals too, so we then assumed that bikes have to be made of metals, other wise they wouldn’t be strong enough to holder us. Well, now is the time to change your mind, because the Izzy Plastic Urban Bike is on the way.

“Made of plastic” is not the only characteristic of the Izzy Plastic Urban Bike, a collaborative project between Omer Sagiv and Uri Sadeh. One would expect a fragile vehicle but the bike is actually quite firm to bear the weight of two adults (quite impressive huh?). Best of all, its frame is recyclable, which means that you can have the damaged frame replaced at the store. To top off the cool concept, the bike also incorporates 2 free standing locking systems, three-dimensional illumination, and the integrated rear suspension.

But does the “completely plastic design” also means the bikes could be easily burned to ashes? Hopefully not.

Anyway, the bike looks great and the recyclable plastic is a meaningful nice design. Let’s just wait to see this bike hit the market soon, and looking for some more details.

The Versatility of Toilet Paper Core

May 21st, 2010

Toilet Paper Core Used As A MemoYes, today we’re going to talk about toilet paper core, remember these garbages you used to throw in the trash can? Well, now there’s a quite unique toilet paper core that is actually useful and you would not want to throw away, instead, you might want to carry it on the go. OK, let’s see how different this Toilet Paper Core is.

Who would ever consider recycling the toilet paper core except for Kim Ji-eun? I mean, the designer is quite unusual, but still ingenious. The Day Re Toilet Roll comes with a creative core that can unfold into a memo pad when you pull the sticker on it. But do we really need such a design? You are the one to decide.

Me? I totally love the design! It’s cute, and good for me, and good for the earth. I definitely want these interesting toilet paper to hit the market soon, and go and grab some, for the earth and for me too. :)

Inside a Filter-Bag, air guides distribute dust evenly throughout the bag, achieving a 25% longer life cycle without any loss in performance. A downstream HEPA filter then captures even the tiniest of particles, retaining lung damaging particles inside the vacuum. Price for this vacuum is around $970.
