Candle Charger: All You Need are Candles and Water for Power

Posted on by

Desperate times call for desperate measures. If your phone is running low on power and you’re stuck in an emergency situation where getting help from outside is vital, then you might want to consider stocking up on some Candle Chargers and some candles, of course.

With just some candles and water, the neat contraption designed by Team Flamestower will generate power so you can charge your smartphone and other mobile devices. The Candle Charger can generate 2.5W, which is roughly equivalent to the charge you get from plugging into your laptop port.

The Stower Candle lasts for up to six hours, which should generate enough power to charge two iPhones. You can also use any other candle you find in your home if you’re out.

The Candle Charger is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $99(USD) will get you one.

Bugs Bugging You? Wear a Net!

Posted on by

The rain came, and the bugs followed. If you find yourself spending the bulk of your evenings hunting for the elusive bug that just bit you on the kisser, then you might want to consider donning the Netsmen instead.

The Netsmen is basically a wearable mosquito net that covers you from top to bottom. The full-body coat is lightweight and its makers assure wearers that the 1mm breathable holes on it won’t have you gasping for air when you’ve got it on.

We can’t testify to its efficacy, but it’s worth a try if you’re desperate to keep the bugs away. It’s available  on Japan Trend Shop for $90(USD).

Can You Stomach a Night at Skylodge’s Transparent Sleeping Pods?

Posted on by

How do you feel about spending a night suspended from the side of a cliff? If you find yourself getting jelly legs just by looking over the railing when you’re five stories up, then clearly Natura Vive’s Skylodge isn’t for you.

Skylodgezoom in

The Peruvian tour company lets adventurers and nature lovers live dangerously while enjoying the tranquility of nature for each and every night they spend at the Skylodge. Accommodations are limited as there are only three capsules available, each one furnished with four beds, a dining area, and a toilet.

In case you thought staying in the pods was the highlight of the trip, think again, because getting to the pods is actually half the fun. In order to get to the Skylodge, you’ll either have to scale the mountain, use the 400-foot ladder that’s embedded on the cliff, or get there via a series of ziplines.

Clearly this isn’t for the faint of heart.

Gato is a Beach Towel and Game Board in One

Posted on by

What does Gato have that your average beach towel doesn’t? A game printed on it, that’s what. It’s handy for those times when everyone has had enough of the sun, sand, and sea and are in the mood for some board games.

Clearly board games are too bulky to take to the beach, so Gato’s creators integrated the game to the towel– which is something you can’t go to the beach without. How’s that for clever? Four different games are available, and players can use sea shells or bottle caps for the tokens, so there are no extra accessories or game pieces needed.

Gato is currently up for funding on Kickstarter, where a minimum pledge of $29(USD) will get you one of your very own.

This Snow Globe is a Sugar Bowl

Posted on by

Some things aren’t quite what they seem.

Take the Sugar House, for instance. It looks like a snow globe, although a relatively simple one as it only features a lonely, white house in the middle of the globe. But take a closer look and you’ll see that there’s something fishy with the way the ‘snow’ looks and falls.
Sugar Housezoom in

Its makers, Pelag Design, must’ve taken a page from Maroon 5′s book because it’s actually filled with – you guessed it! – sugar. If you’re bored with your current sugar bowl or are in the market for one, then the Sugar House is definitely one option you should consider.

Add a bit of whimsy to your table for only $20(USD). You can get it here.

Udder Milk Dispenser is Fun, But Udderly Ridiculous

Posted on by

Have you ever milked a cow? No? Well, now you can in the comfort of your own home with the Udder Milk dispenser. You won’t be milking an actual cow, although you’ll be going through the same motions just to get a glass of milk.

Udder Milk Dispenserzoom in

Outrageous, isn’t it?

It isn’t an actual product that you can buy though, because it’s just a design submitted by Design Studio 55 for the Milk Factory’s ‘What’s Next for Milk?’ competition. Cue the groans of disappointment (or sighs of relief, if it’s not your thing.)

These Superheroes Have Got Your Books Covered

Posted on by

When Superman’s not busy saving the world from impending doom, he’s out and about making sure that people’s books don’t fall or topple over. At least, that’s what it seems like with Israeli design studio Artori Design’s brand-spankin’ new Book and Hero bookend.

Artori Superhero Bookendszoom in

The bookends seem to defy the laws of physics, but the secret to the flying effect is just clever design: the stand for the books is angled, which makes it look like the pile of books is above to slide down. Throw in some super-strong magnets into the mix and you’ve got the illusion of the tiny superhero ‘holding’ the books, all on his own.

A similar design is Artori’s Supershelf, which makes it look like our pint-sized superhero is lifting that heavy stack of books with one hand.

They’re available online starting at $25.
