This faucet tells you how much water you’re getting from it


We have covered a lot of interesting faucet concepts in the past, such as the spacial interaction one, the one that requires not touching to turn on.

This is another concept known as the “No More No Less”. It allows the user to specify the amount of water that you get before you even turn it on.

So you know how you have recipes that call for certain cups of water? You will be able to get that amount from the faucet itself, without ever using a measuring cup. Considering I have a way of losing measuring cups, I wouldn’t mind having this on my faucet.

By the way, this faucet is able to control the temperature of the water as well as the amount. All of this control is possible with an LCD display.

In case you are wondering what is powering the display. Consider it hydroelectric. Somehow, all of the water gushing through this faucet can power up this screen. I don’t think there is any technology on the market that can do this yet, is there?

Well, like I said, this is a concept for now. However, I can easily see something like this being in the most organized kitchens in the world. Perhaps Martha Stewart should get this.

Wi-Fi Connected Power Strip

Image
If you are like me, you have “that desk” in your house that is sort of the hub for digital information. On the desk is a laptop or desktop computer, and all kinds of accessories. Chances are, all of these devices are plugged in to a power strip, and they are a source of great power consumption on your monthly electric bill. This power strip by Japan-based Ubiquitous is the iRemoTap, and it has a built-in Wi-Fi module. The purpose of the Wi-Fi is so it can send information to connected devices in the household. The iRemoTap can automatically send out some sort of message like an email or tweet so you know how much energy that you are consuming. In fact, you can program this thing for a preset level, so you can make energy goals and hopefully keep them. I guess you will have to know what levels your devices have, of course. I don’t really know that off the top of my head. So is this the wave of the future? All of us knowing how much power we consume and making

Change your bike’s gears, with your mind

Image
Lately, I have been teaching my son to ride a bicycle, and it reminds me of my days of awkward bike riding. I remember that I had a hard time with changing the gears, but what if I could do it with my mind? Parlee Cycles is apparently working on a concept bicycle made of carbon fiber that does just that. It is part of Toyota Prius Projects, and it uses a helmet equipped with neurotransmitters to read a wearer’s brainwaves. A wireless transmitter attached to the bike’s seat post gets the signal, and changes the gear. As you might of guessed, this is still a concept. In fact, the developer hasn’t quite got the brain control working and still using a smartphone for the controls. I have heard of neuro-controls being used before, but I am guessing the technology isn’t quite as good as Bluetooth. Still, I am wondering if putting a brain control on a bike’s gears is putting too much technology where it doesn’t belong. If we are going to electronically make a way for a

iMM514 ArtStation Pro

Image
I’ve seen some products from iLuv before, and the iMM514 ArtStation Pro is good for turning an iPad into a home theater. As you can see, the iPad is mounted in an articulated swiveling arm so you can position it at whatever angle you want, in landscape or portrait mode. In case you are wondering why there is such a big base, it is because it has a huge stereo speaker. In other words, this base has bass. There is also a wireless remote for volume and skipping tracks, and it looks like there are some controls on the base for when you lose the remote. As I mentioned before, iLuv has put out a lot of Apple accessories, and I will have to admit that this is one of the most unusual that I have seen. In fact, I am not even sure what kind of aesthetic that this is. The arm thing reminds me of Technic Lego pieces. I suppose the case is like a big Lego brick without and studs on it. Nice. By the way, this isn’t just for the iPad. The iMM514 ArtStation Pro is compatible
