Millenium Falcon Bottle Opener

Of course you can play with this when not using it as a bottle opener. Just check out the detailing ! This is never going to get old nor unloved.

Arm - inserted control.

Now this is more the new Total Recall that I was talking about having a phone in your palm. This is a more ugly and not very well designed vision but the idea has some merit though you have to imagine a better interface with less clutter.

If Apple did jewellery II - return of the ring

Not for me this one - not at all as cool as the other bangle in future products II

Sony Slide Out

Again some good photoshop trickery here  - this product doesn't exist for god reason - might look cool at first glance but why ? I guess they are trying to solve the problem of fitting a keyboard in somewhere - much like the stay - go laptops and slates of today #FAIL

Shoe Thrusters

With these you will loose 20lbs ! They supply anti gravity effect. Either that or they are for the asbo toting youth as a way to report their location. #FAIL but good for some kind of inspiration as its weird things which jog your brain.

We continue to showcase the best industrial design and photoshop creativity.

Xbox Automated Controller

As a working dad I can assure you that I don't get the same time as does a teenager and so its really hard to build a decent kill streak in call of duty ! They really need a dads (working dads) category so we can play at our own eternal noob level. I need some help to up my gun classes and short of hiring an individual in china to play for me (under my login) this is the kind of product I could use. Sway left and overshoot past the gobby teenager and oh yes he killed me...this is a thing of the past as a CPU takes over the game.

One to watch

Add up the dots designed as a circuit board to tell the time - I feel this design won't make it.

Its NOT TRUE THOUGH !

Its still not true, does this marketing really work for you ! It boggles my mind. Clearly heading back to the 80's with this watch design.

If Apple made Jewellery..

The designer that did this appealed to a few of my weird tastes namely the studded array each side of the glowing logo. The only issue is that its a logo for me but I have seen logo tattoos go well so why not.

Mountaineering Camera Utility Glasses

No he's not in a studio he's climbing mount everest dummy he just makes it look easy. I'm kind of thinking that even being light this is pulling the side of the glasses down so to balance this I would like some ideas of what to stick on the other side like an ice axe holder or portable water bottle.

These are specialised specs which would protect your eyes from the glare and Ultra Violet Light that is so much stronger while in the mountains.

iphone 7

Shame they didn't change the icons deskop design yet. There are ergonomic limits to what we feel is comfortable to hold I want something that exists woven into the palm of my hand sci fy style and the new Total Recall.

Bubble Translator

Learning languages is not a waste of time - Imagine if you forget to take your bubble translator with you next time you go to Japan. Requires 2AA batteries and a cup of fairy liquid sold separately.

I'm not quite sure how to introduce this suite of future product blogs coming soon. I found the site online somehow ? And each of the images linked to a site that was some kind of auction selling nothing like what these images suggested. So it is gutter traffic and a poor example of where the internet can be.

BUT - the industrial design that can be seen in the images is worth blogging. Apologies if these images belong to you please contact us and we will either remove them or correctly source them to you - your choice if you can prove ownership. I think they deserve to be blogged and logged !

So lets introduce them in their photographic and ingenious glory. There really is good design here and this in itself is inspirational for product designers like myself.

Futuristic Mask

Potential uses could include keeping colds to yourself or nuclear fallout away (perish the thought) or just a fashion statement that you find in the computer games of today - scary stuff. I'm sure there is a camera on there and a suite of heat seeking missiles that you can lock onto an iphone 25 m away.

Finger Laser Pointer

Is it a light - is it a pointer, it could also act like some kind of support for those sprains you got while growing up. Its amazing what can be achieved by cameras with consoles these days re Kinect by xbox microsoft. But I like to think as this as my own personal projector screen from my finger.

Knuckle Camera

Staying with hands we have this faked up image of a knuckle camera - very possible but the motion caused by your hands by all but riding a bike make this a limited and flawed concept. Still small micro cameras are expected to feature much more in items we buy in the year to come.

Hydraulic hoses serve different purposes and a variety of industries such as construction, manufacturing and agriculture use them. They join a variety of hydraulic system components stretching extensive distances as well as winding into tight spaces. Choosing the right hydraulic hose requires that you pay close attention to a variety of factors. These factors include pressure capability, fluid temperatures, availability, size as well as compatibility with other hose end. If you want to buy a hydraulic hose that meets your need then you must carefully examine the above factors.

Working Pressure

Your hose must meet the pressure capabilities of your hydraulic machine if it is to be effective. Before you purchase your new hose make sure that it meets or exceeds the maximum working pressure of your hydraulic machine. Another important factor to put into consideration is the pressure spikes.

Size

When purchasing your new hydraulic hose make sure that you measure its inner diameter using a caliper. This is very important because it helps avoid unwanted friction. When fluid passes in the hose it rubs against the inner wall of the hose creating friction. The created friction in turns generates heat, increase back pressure thus reducing the rate of flow. Make sure that you replace the existing hose with similar measurements; the length of your hose should also be similar to the one that needs a replacement.

The only way to quit smoking

The day is Saturday 8th of December. The X factor final has just finished and I’m enjoying a cigarette in my living room. Whilst puffing away I realise that it may be time to quit. After all, my son is to be born in the early New Year, I had just acquired a new job and money is going to be tight for a month or so. I thought to myself that yes, it’s time to quit.

 Like most smokers, it’s next to impossible to quit “cold turkey”, so naturally I carried out some research to find the best product to use to wean myself off the filthy habit that is smoking. I did have some experience with various aids used to quit smoking in the past. I had used nicotine tablets, the nicotine inhaler and nicotine patches. None of these had worked for me. So having a short glance through the Google search engine, Electronic cigarettes’ or e-cigs popped up.

 There certainly are a lot of brands that I could’ve chosen, but I wanted a brand that was sold within reasonable distance from my home. Luckily for me one of the main brands website provided various local retailers from which I could purchase their product.

 Nicolites. My chosen product to be my nicotine replacement. The website advertises various different deals, different flavours and different strengths. I wasn’t bothered with flavours and specially modified e-cigs. I just wanted to purchase a high strength disposable nicotine replacement. Luckily for me the local newsagents only sold, low, medium or high strength nicotine replacements. Just under £7, (Due to the 50p card usage charge) spent, and away I went, adamant that this was it, the last time I attempt to quit smoking.

 The packaging stated that the E-cig contained 40 cigarettes worth of nicotine. This can’t be correct and this should have only lasted two days. I purchased the Nicolite on the Sunday, and it is still going after six days in my possession. Not that I’m complaining, not only am I saving the money that the website said I would, but I’m saving a lot more on top. Talk about value for money! One of the great features of this product is that it doesnt smell of anything, nor can you taste tobacco and it doesnt ruin your teeth and gums.

 Well I’m Six days into using Nicolites and I haven’t smoked a real cigarette since! I absolutely recommend purchasing this product if you wish to quit smoking. I have heard horror stories about similar products where the nicotine leaks into your mouth during inhalation! This is a strong product, with great value for money.
