Owl be there for you!

owl_bits_1

It’s rare that EDC or multitools get described as cute, so the Owl Bits is a rare, lovable case-study in ‘cute multi-tool design’.

The bird-inspired form comes with two wings and big eyes that serve as hinges for said wings. Open the wings out and you’ve got yourself a screw-driver that’s easy to rotate, thanks to its perpendicular grip. The wings come with multiple screw-bits inside them that can easily be removed and docked in place where you’d imagine the owl’s feet to be.

Crafted from stainless steel, plastic, and built with rubber grips, the Owl Bits comes in a compact design that occupies no more space than a measuring tape. It comes with its own carrying case too that packs hex sockets as well, making this avian species quite the mechanic’s best friend!

This Ain’t Your Grandad’s Wheelbarrow

While it might not look like a stereotypical robot, the EcoBarrow all but eliminates the need for a human operator. Designed for the agricultural industry but useful in a variety of applications, the electric vehicle aims to provide a safer, cleaner, more powerful way of hauling bulk items whether its hay bales or bricks. Its versatile track system provides unmatched stability and maneuverability, even while carrying heavy loads. Better yet, it’s entirely electric to save companies huge sums previously spent on gas. It can be preprogrammed to operate the same function autonomously or controlled remotely to accomplish a myriad of hauling tasks everywhere from the farm to the construction site.

The Beach Just Got Brighter

From the sand to the surf, the ConSolight aims to provide efficient illumination in the seaside places humans love to enjoy. They can be planted in the sand to provide pathway lighting in low light or they can be buoyed offshore to provide guidance in the water. In either situation, the design harnesses solar energy during the day to power its bright LEDs at night. For after-hours scuba divers and swimmers, an additional LED that rests below the water’s surface serves as a beacon for navigating when it’s dark. As durable as they are efficient, they’re designed to withstand the tough marine environment for years without replacement.

Jazzing Up For Pure Water

Designed to be a portable solar powered water treatment system, the Parabosol uses parabolic mirrors that boils water to a temperature of up to 400 Celsius. This system also integrates sand and carbon flirtation processes to game, thus making drinking water as safe as possible. Approximately 1 billion people globally don’t have access to potable water and the tragedy of losing population to water-borne diseases is quite sad. Using solar power to create a viable filtration system that can be used in remote areas is quite cool.

Details:

  • The system purifies water by using additional filtration, which is done by sand filter and by carbon filter.
  • First, the sand filter catches the sand particles and then the carbon filter is used to remove odor and dissolved gases from water.
  • Between the two filtrations, the sand filtered water collected in water container within a focused parabolic mirror where purification is made.
  • Steam coming from the tank behind parabolic mirror condensate in bronze spine placed above carbon filter.
  • The system consists of one contaminated water container, one purification container and two clean water containers.
  • Parabosol can clean up to 170 liters of water in a single use.
