Piece of Cake Coat Rack

This simplistic coat rack consists of just 4 easily produced, basic part types which means it’s not only efficient to make but also to package. To keep it minimal, the hanging features double as an integral part of the construction, keeping its 3 posts in position without a center support. It’s purposely semi-finished, so the user can add their own touch with paint or wood stain!

Batman Grappling Hook Gun Created at BYU

Of all the gadgets and gizmos that Batman uses to fight crime, one of the ones I always thought was most interesting was his grappling hook gun that he can fire up onto ledges or the top of buildings to climb. If you’ve ever wanted to have that sort of grappling hook gun, some student engineers at BYU have created one that actually works. The students dreamed it up based on what Batman uses.

grappling gun byu

The students created their grappling hook gun for an Air Force competition. The device the team created uses a launcher to shoot a grappling hook as far as 90 feet in the air. Once deployed, the system uses pulleys, and other tech to automatically pull the user up the building or other surface with little effort.

The contest the team will be participating in gives them 20 minutes to demonstrate the tool and then train military representatives on its use. The goal of the competition is to get three people up a 90-foot vertical incline while carrying 300 pounds of gear each. The device designed by the BYU students is able to climb 30 feet per minute. Check out the video above to see the system in action.


Cubby: It’s a Coat Hook and a Storage Caddy

I have nothing against coat racks, but sometimes I find myself hating them as I’m hanging up my coat. I mean, why didn’t the people who came up with these racks think of the possibility that people might want a place to put their keys or glasses and other miscellaneous stuff when they step into the house?

Apparently, there are a lot of us, though, because Cubby was born.

Cubby1

Cubby was designed by Stephanie and Bruce Tharp of materious. It’s a coat hook slash cubby hole that gives you the best of both worlds: a huge hook with which to hang your coats and bags, and a tiny round shelf right smack in the middle to hold all of your other stuff. The idea is so ingenious, I wonder why someone else didn’t think of it sooner.

Cubby

Cubby is currently up for funding on Kickstarter. A minimum pledge of $19(USD) will get you your very own Cubby, while $47 buys a 3-pack, and $79 buys a 6-pack. And if you can only fork over $5 or $10, you’ll be treated to a thank-you note (and drawing) from the team’s adorable child named Isla Rey.
