Fun though electric-assist mountain bikes may be, the things do tend to be considerably heavier than their conventional counterparts. The Bike Lifter modular rack system was designed with that fact in mind, as it doesn’t require users to lift their eMT… Continue reading Suweeka Bike Lifter does away with hefting eMTBs onto vehicle racks
Just like their automotive counterparts, gas-powered quad bikes (aka ATVs) aren’t exactly poster children for the green movement. That’s why we’re seeing an increasing number of electric models, the latest being the carbon-fiber-bodied Equad.Continue R… Continue reading Equad electric ATV sports a carbon body and a top speed of 67 mph
3D-printed concrete structures are claimed to be faster and cheaper to build than their traditional counterparts, but they’re not always as strong. That problem may soon be solved by adding a pinch of graphene oxide, which could also be used to detect … Continue reading Graphene oxide used to strengthen and electrify 3D-printed concrete
Handheld gimbal stabilizers are all very well and good, but for really classy-looking cine camera movements, nothing beats a wheeled dolly shot. The Hyperdolly is designed to get those shots, without having to lay down any tracks.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Motorized Hyperdolly gets cameras moving for slick dolly shots
Soft robotic devices often need to sense both mechanical deformation and changes in temperature, requiring multiple integrated sensors. ChromoSense technology, however, combines both functions in one simple, robust, color-changing device.Continue Readi… Continue reading Smart sensor uses color to monitor deformation and temperature
On modern worksites, workers are typically required to carry – or even wear – quite a few electronic devices. The SmartHat is designed to make things easier, by packing a head-load of gadgets into a single safety helmet.Continue ReadingCategory: Wearab… Continue reading SmartHat may be the Swiss Army knife of safety helmets
Women and girls in industrial countries may have ready access to inexpensive menstrual pads, but such is not always the case in developing nations. That may soon change, however, thanks to the sisal plant.Continue ReadingCategory: Good Thinking, Lifest… Continue reading Plant-fiber menstrual pads may help end “period poverty”
Daily finger-prick blood tests are an uncomfortable fact of life for diabetics, but they may not always have to be. Scientists from Canada and the US have now developed a prototype home-use device that measures blood glucose levels via saliva samples.C… Continue reading At-home saliva testing could replace daily finger-jabs for diabetics
Although various uses for post-harvest rice husk waste are being explored, the stuff is still usually either incinerated, dumped in landfills, or at best composted. Soon, however, rice husks may be combined with discarded newspapers to form eco-friendl… Continue reading Eco-friendly insulation would put rice husks and newspapers in our walls
As is the case with their gas-burning counterparts, electric cars are limited in spaciousness and design by the layout of their drivetrain. The Hyundai Motor Company and Kia Corporation have set about addressing that issue, with their radical new Unive… Continue reading Hyundai and Kia’s radical Uni Wheel system could revolutionize EV design
