Kineticel-Human Battery Charger

Search for unconventional sources of power generation continues. Efforts are being made everyday to add more productivity to the day to day things we do in home. Keeping these thoughts in Kineticel was featured in the Metropolis Magazine. Its concept submitted by Yael Miller describing it as Kinetic Energy harnessing battery charger.

Looks like a comfortable concept to me. I will love to spend some time on this , listening to some enchanting music. Ending up fresh, relaxed and more importantly with charged up batteries at my disposal.

Will be my 2cents for fighting global warming.

Brix Modular Cell Phone Concept - For Wide Screen Viewing

Watching TV on a cell phone is about as fun as taking a drill to your eye -- and that's something concept designer Seokwon Hong hopes to alleviate with the Brix. The Brix is a modular concept for a cell phone that would allow you to create a bigger and bigger screen depending on how many Brix bezel-less modules you may have.

Brix is a phone. The entire surface is a touchscreen, even void of a receiver. There is no bezel at all so you really get 100% screen real estate on the front. You have all your personal multimedia functions just like any other phone but here’s where it gets interesting. By stringing together multiple Brix, you expand the screen real estate. Suddenly video is bigger. A temporary virtual shared folder is created to merge content between the devices until they’re disconnected or one device can be designated as the media hub and interface. The awesome thing is the ability to endlessly string together as many Brix as you want. You can easily go from a small media player to a big screen TV. Throw in an external audio jack, DVR functions, GPS and we have a wonder device - like for real.
