OLTU – A great new concept to keep food fresher longer

A recent disturbing statistic says that Americans throw away almost 50 percent of the food they buy. The main reason for this is that food “goes bad” or no longer looks appealing to eat. What’s needed is a better way to store it so that it stays fresher longer. The National Award Winner from Spain of the James Dyson 2013 Award would do just that.   The OLTU, a system that uses the heat generated by refrigerators and uses the…

Could space junk become a thing of the past?

More than 16,000 pieces of “space junk” currently orbit the Earth. This debris includes non-functioning satellites and burned-off pieces from former space flights. Satellites tend to cluster in similar orbits and pose serious threats to space faring technology as well as to the International Space Station. This may become a thing of the past due to a partnership that’s been announced between the Ecole polytechnique federale de Lausanne (EPFL) and Swiss Space Systems (S3) to launch the CleanSpace One satellite…

Friendly Dog Collars – let the world know about your pet’s character instantly

Dogs are definitely man’s best mate, but of course not all of our canine cousins are as friendly as they could be. In fact, it’s probably fair to say that our beloved pets come in a variety of different personalities, just like people do. Which makes it rather difficult when out and about to determine just how a particular pooch will behave as we approach them on the street.

The Nube transforms a hammock into a covered shelter

Even though summer is over, there’s plenty of great camping weather still to come. Finding a way to keep yourself and your gear covered when needed is a great plus. The Nube (pronounced “new-bay”), from Sierra Madre Research, attaches to any camping hammock and turns it into an enclosed shelter. A series of suspension lines connect to surrounding trees and the ground keep the top waterproof layer taut, creating a barrier against wind and rain. If no trees are available,…

Banish wrinkled T-shirts from your life and you WILL become rich and famous

You know who you are. You’re the type who ensures everything is tidy, organized, and sparkling clean. Your personal mantra is ‘a place for everything and everything in its place’ (which you mutter to yourself repeatedly as you scrub). No detail is too big or to small to obsess over. You even find yourself compulsively folding shirts when you are out and about – at a friend’s house, at a store, on the street.

Compleat Foodskin will protect your sandwich from the elements

The easiest thing to bring to work is a sandwich. Assembling them is simple, eating them is almost as effortless as breathing, and they generally keep pretty well in the fridge. The biggest issue you may face would be the contents sliding all over the place and leaving a lovely mustard or mayonnaise smear inside of the container you put it in.

Mogo is a seat for wherever your feet take you

We put a lot of strain on our feet. Especially on those days that we stand in line for hours waiting on a concert, hiking up the tallest hill we can find, or just don’t have enough chairs for when company is over. While you don’t want to be sitting all the time, there are moments when you wish you had a chair in the same way you wish for cold water on a hot day.

Starry Light Lamp – Reach for the stars…and change the light bulb

Stargazing is rather thought provoking. You think about your meaning in the grand scheme of things, whether or not you’re looking out and being looked at in return, and for the more star-savvy people, naming every star in the vast night sky. Through different parts of the year, we can see different constellations, but once we go home, it doesn’t matter if it’s night or day time, because you are definitely not going to see any stars.

Plug will be a hive mind for all of your devices

Nowadays we have a multitude of devices, many of which serve the same purpose, but come in different sizes. It’s really quite frustrating to go through each device and make sure you have all the same files, apps, etc. so you’re never in want of information. What if there was a way to wirelessly sync all of your data across any computer, tablet, laptop, or phone?

The Long Range Telescope for iPhone 5 will surely help your photography career

The quality of mobile phone cameras has vastly improved over the last 13 years. Seeing the amount of detail you can pick up is rather astonishing, but trying to zoom in immediately ruins the quality of the image. If you consider yourself a phone photographer then you’ll want to find a way to solve this issue.

Lift Lamp will be the only thing in the house that’s fun to clean

While it’s nice to have a clean house, the task of dusting, vacuuming, and so on is very much so a chore. It takes us an entire year to ‘spring clean’ the house, which is fully cleaning it from top to bottom because we only touch it up the rest of the time. Something that’s always completely covered with dust by that point is the lampshades. Those are a particular annoyance as dust clings for dear life to every molecule…

Smart Cargo improves the functionality of your Smart Case

Congratulations, you have an iPad. This sleek Apple device took a hunk of money to purchase, but now you get to look forward to buying tons of accessories! Of course, that’s so long as you remember to bring them with you. You can buy a bag that will accommodate your tablet, cords, and add-ons, but that’s going to be pretty costly as well. Wouldn’t it be better to just get something that will attach like a Smart Cover and keep…

Bloom FM Boot Wellies – I’m singing in the rain, just singing in the rain!

We love listening to music every hour of every day, but when it rains, pulling out your phone a lot to fiddle with what song is going is not the best idea. You want to keep jamming to your tunes, but you don’t want to worry about damaging your lifeline with water. If you’re looking for a solution, why not strap some splash-proof speakers to the outsides of your shoes and carry on your merry way?
