Link to Concept: Green Pass Turnstile Generates Energy When You Pass Through It

Every time we pass through a turnstile in the train station or in a shopping mall, we’re using a bit of energy, and now the VIVA Design Team at the Guangdong University of Technology in China has come up with an idea to harness that wasted energy. The Green Pass Turnstile design combines the functions of a normal turnstile with a renewable energy generator, harnessing the energy produced when people pass through the turnstile.

Wood iPad Stand helps with volume

Link to Wood iPad Stand helps with volume

People have been designing speakers in different shapes to optimize the sound for years, but a stand that does the same is a little more rare.  This iPad stand is supposed to help optimize the sound purely by the design of the stand itself.  It doesn’t have any extra electronic gimmicks, just a well thought out design. Honestly, it’s nice to see someone thinking about the shape, material and design of the item before they start thinking about easy shortcuts.  Things like throwing in a cheap set of speakers instead of adding a few handy holes would make it just another accessory.  However, by being a little different this one is going to stand out more.  It’s made using lacquer over ippe and maple veneer.  The Unique Artistic Functional Wood iPod Dock/Stand may have to longest name ever created, but at least it’s somewhat affordable.  You can purchase it for $39.95 through Etsy .
