GoSun Grill

GoSun Grill is a solar grill that cooks at night.


GoSun Grill is made by inventor Patrick Sherwin GoSun Grill has increased capacity — the grill can make food enough for eight — the GoSun Grill also has a special thermal battery that allows users to make a meal even when the sun isn’t shining.The design is fantastic: The food is cooked in a glass vacuum-walled cylinder which remains cool to the touch even as the sun roasts (or bakes, steams or boils) the food within. The reflectors cook the food from all sides, as if it had been roasted on a spit.


Made of a special phase-change organic wax that melts thanks to the sun, the battery takes two hours to charge and retains heat for over four hours, so you can cook at night. When you load in the food, the wax transfers its stored heat whatever you’re cooking through two layers of metal. As the battery returns to its solid state, the rising heat cooks your meal.

French Flying Cars

Flying cars by Sylvain Viau.

For his ongoing series Flying Cars, French designer Sylvain Viau digitally edits photographs of cars into sleek, wheel-less hover cars that appear to float just above the ground. Viau not only uses his own photography to create these sci-fi cars, but is fortunate to claim many of the actual cars among his own collection.

He originally worked only with 80s Citroën vehicles because of their classic space age design, but has continued to branch out over the last few months to include cars from Peugeot, Toyota, Renault, Alpha Romeo.

The Shoe That Grows


The clever shoes that grow five sizes and last five years to help children in poverty.



For children in developing nations who are lucky enough to get shoes, they do not last long no matter what their construction, because children outgrow them. Thus Kenton Lee, who formerly did missionary work in Nairobi and witnessed this firsthand, has invented a shoe that can be adjusted to fit growing feet.

BAT levitating mouse

Interesting levitating computer mouse concept.


A Czech design studio is readying a levitating computer mouse for release that's been created to help prevent Carpal tunnel syndrome. Designed by Vadim Kibardin, Kibardindesign developed "Bat" a levitating wireless computer mouse that consists of a base - mouse pad and floating mouse with magnet ring.

Bat's base works in tandem with the mouse's magnetic ring to achieve its floating effect.
Bats levitate about 1-1/2" above their base when untouched, and a little under 1/2" under a palmar weight of 2.2 pounds.

Feno Foldable Notebook

Feno Foldable Notebook by Niels van Hoof



The Feno is a folding notebook. The Feno concept designed by Niels Van Hoof goes back to tackling the good old notebook. His foldable notebook design features a unique folding method that makes the portable size just slightly wider than the diameter of a DVD.


The Feno design concept is very Apple-esque in its clean and sleek aluminum look, although its renderings are showing a Windows desktop. But what makes it unique is that the concept involves folding into thirds, with the screen being folded in half right through the centre.

ARK Solar Boat

ARK Solar Boat by Janne Leppänen


The ARK Solar Boat is a creation of Janne Leppänen, an industrial and graphic designer based in Finland. The boat was developed as part of Leppänen's graduation work from the Kuopio Academy of Design.


The idea behind the ARK (ARKKI in Finnish) Solar Boat was to devise a new form of watercraft which was environmentally responsible, luxurious and capable of acting as a spacious home. The boat was designed for around 10 years into the future, at a time when many of the cutting edge solar panel and electric technologies which are currently being researched are readily available and the cost isn't prohibitive. The ARK was designed to be used mainly on inland and coastal waters.

X2 Concept Car

X2 is Car with a perfectly symmetric layout.



X2 Concept Car by Yeon Wu Seong is a futuristic Coupe Car with a perfectly symmetric layout Can be driven in either directions by changing seat and rotating the outside cameras. The four in wheel electric motors allows it to rotate in place.



Design Brief

There will be several advantages since it was manufactured because of its symmetric structure.

Also in using, it can more easily control cars in the complicated city by relieving directivity, and several accidents and traffic congestions will decrease very much. It will be a car for those who find convenience of operating, who find 2 cars, ad who wish for a specially balance shape.
