RITMO Prenatal Musical System

Currently there are number of prenatal musical systems for pregnant women who want to introduce their baby to some nice, soft, and soothing music. Some researchers have conducted studies that prove babies begin to demonstrate reactive listening as early as 16 weeks.

Having the RITMO prenatal music system allows moms to deliver quality and safe sounds to their babies while they’re still in the womb. Anything that a mother can play on her MP3 player she can easily play for her baby. Some researchers believe that if a baby listens to music when they are still in the womb it can increase their intelligence. This is referred to as the Mozart Effect.

Although the Mozart effect has not been completely proven it doesn’t hurt to try and stimulate the baby’s intellect. The RITMO is an advanced system and enables the mother and child to share the same sensory and emotional experience.

The great thing about the device is that it is lightweight and is made up of very soft material so it’s perfect for a pregnant mother during normal day-to-day activities such as relaxing, shopping, or even working out. It can be worn on the go. It’s also adjustable so it can be worn throughout the entire pregnancy and the fabric is easily washable.

Once she sets the sound at a level that she can enjoy the device will automatically adjust the volume to a level that is tolerable for the baby. The RITMO features a four speaker sound system. There are two separate speakers that deliver sound to the baby and the sound should be effective no matter where the baby is in the womb.

The musical system will last for about five hours on a fully charged battery.

Kululua Airline’s Rebranding

South Africa’s Kululua’s airline is giving itself a bit of a makeover. The airline has recently decided to rebrand its planes with a creative airplane 101 guide that allows individuals to easily see where various parts of the plane are located.

Now, every air traveler can learn the difference between where the nosecone and engine are located. The planes are also extremely brightly colored. They now come in a neon green shade which looks very stylish, creative, and modern. The green shade could also reduce the possibility of air collisions because it’s so brightly colored. The new makeover provides the passengers and airline crew with basic knowledge of aircraft technology and aviation mechanics. It’s clever and educational and passengers will realize where the blackbox is located.

It will likely be a matter of time before Kululua can recognize whether the new educational planes are giving them an uptick in business. The new planes are bound to bring in more passengers to the airline. People should find the airline more intriguing and fun because it’s a great advertising technique.

The Eco Freezer

The Eco Freezer is a small portable freezer that is perfect for a picnic or transporting food that needs to be kept chilled and fresh.

Some people might want to carry the freezer around in their car as they grocery shop. The freezer works on battery charged LED lights. The two LED lamps sit on the top of the freezer and these lights provide illumination and help the cooling system work.

To achieve a high mode of cooling a person must tap into energy from both lights, but to have a lower chilling only one light is needed. The designer also thought the device might come in handy if someone was doing a bit of hiking or traveling to remote places. The lights on the top of the freezer could function as a torch or SOS signal device.

The Eco Freezer is just a concept design for now.

Desktop Teeth Whitener Lamp

The cost of going to the dentist to get teeth whitened can be quite expensive. Fortunately, there are a slew of dental devices and products that can be used to whiten teeth in the comfort of a person’s home. These devices make it more convenient and affordable for a person to whiten their teeth anywhere.

The desktop teeth whitening bleaching lamp is a device that whitens teeth easily. The whitener works by converting electric energy into a strong blue light. The blue light works with whitening gel and causes the teeth to oxidize and become whiter.

The teeth whitening lamp works very quickly and the process takes only 30 minutes. Individuals can expect their teeth to be whitened at least 5 to 15 shades whiter which is very significant. The neat thing about the lamp is that it not only whitens teeth externally, but also can change the color internally as well.

The lamp system is very quiet, durable, and has a goose neck so it’s flexible and ergonomic. It can easily be placed on a bathroom counter or on a desktop. The system comes with a power cord, two glasses, a user manual, remote control, and 20 mouth sheaths. It’s very easy to operate the system. Individuals simply need to apply the gel to their teeth and then turn on the light. The process is painless and it is a lot less scary than going to the dentist.

There are some people for whom the device would come in handy. For example, the lamp would be perfect for coffee drinkers, smokers, and anyone who is prone to developing stains on their teeth.

One benefit to having whiter teeth is that it provides people with a more youthful appearance without having to undergo cosmetic surgery. Teeth whitening lights up the face, gives a person a more beautiful smile, and makes a person look younger. Individuals can expect to pay over $400 for the lamp.

The wall-mounted wood stove is a product from a company called Caminetti Montegrappa. The company was established in 1976, and initially started producing traditional wooden stoves. Today, the company’s concept of stoves has evolved and now Caminetti makes high-tech contemporary wooden stoves for the modern home.

Airplane Skycouches

Unless you’re in first or business class, there is arguably nothing more uncomfortable than an airline seat. Air New Zealand understands how uncomfortable passengers can feel and have designed a creative new airline seating option in the economy section of its new long-haul airplanes.

Air New Zealand is rethinking the passenger experience by creating the “Skycouch”. The skycouch works by turning three seats into a small bed. The skycouch would work best for people that are traveling alone or traveling with a companion. A couple traveling can purchase the third seat in their row for half-price so that they can take full advantage of the skycouch. Of course, it also helps to have a traveling companion that you’ll feel comfortable sleeping next to.

The Airplane Skycouches are an interesting idea to produce comfier seats that will make flying more bearable. Unfortunately, only the first 11 rows of the economy class cabin will have the new skycouch. The rest of the cabin will have to learn to sleep upright.

Yuneec e430 Electric Plane

The Yuneec e430 electric plane is the world's first electric airplane to be commercially produced. Electric cars are becoming quite popular so it was only a matter of time before electric planes started being manufactured. Electric planes can no longer be considered futuristic.

The plane is a twin seat with a single engine and is powered by a 54-horsepower (40 kw) electric motor and a lithium-ion battery pack.

Because the Yuneec plane is electric, it runs without fuel, has no emissions, low noise, and is very low maintenance. The plane is also very easy to fly and makes for a smooth ride. Depending on the battery packs, the plane can stay in the air from ninety minutes to two and a half hours. It takes about three hours for the battery to charge.

In addition to being easy to control and lightweight, the plane is also beautifully and simply designed. The Yuneec has a 45-foot wingspan and a 22-foot long fuselage. There are only two moving parts in the plane's motor which means flights are low-vibration.

For an airplane, the Yuneec isn't so expensive. The planes will cost $89,000, which shouldn't be a big deal for the demographic of people that typically purchase airplanes.

The Home Core Integrated Toilet

At first glance the Home Core Integrated Toilet simply looks weird, however, its a cool way to add a unique touch to the washroom.

The Home Core Integrated Toilet is a combination of a toilet bowl, sink, mirror and vanity table integrated into one toilet system. The vanity system features a pop-up mirror and a few drawers so that people can store things. The Home Core is also called the all-in-one loo.

The Home Core Integrated Toilet is also energy efficient. Below the sink is a water storage tank. The water that is drained from the sink can be used to later flush the pot. If users want to store the sink water they can simply push a button that will activate the water tank to retain water. The main theme of the Home Core Integrated Toilet is to save water.

Although combining the sink and toilet into one seems like a neat and practical concept, there are many people that may not feel comfortable having a sink directly above their toilet, despite how clean the toilet may be. Another downside to the toilet is the espresso/coffee drink warmer that is built into the back of the toilet. Warming coffee on top of a toilet doesn’t seem very sanitary.

The Home Core Integrated Toilet may be ideal for individuals that have an extremely small bathroom or people that simply want a futuristic toilet in their home.

Dell Froot Concept

An industrial designer named Pauline Carlos has created an interesting concept for Dell. The concept is called the Froot. The Froot is a new type of computer that is composed of two projectors that eliminate the need for a traditional monitor or USB keyboard.

The Froot's projectors display the image of the monitor on the wall and will project a keyboard on a table or surface for typing. The only thing that a person will need to properly run their computer is a blank wall and empty desk. Ports are placed on the left hand side of the Froot and the right side of the device features a DVD drive.

The Froot could be beneficial to the environment. The use of a virtual monitor and keyboard could eliminate much of the material that goes into creating computers. In essence, the Froot is more than a concept; it's an idea that caters to sustainability. This means that there will be less junk and trash in landfills.

To create the Froot, Pauline used a biodegradable case where the two projectors are housed. The only thing that the Froot is missing is a mouse. The mouse issue probably won't be solved with a third projector.

Mast Humidifier

As the entire world pushes towards using clean energy, more and more gadgets that don't require electricity will be created. The Mast is a humidifier that doesn't use electricity. Instead, the Mast draws up moisture into its sails by capillary action.

The humidifier works by absorbing water from the hull and then diffusing the water. It's perfect for dispersing moisture throughout the room. The water evaporates six times faster than an open pan of water, which makes it extremely efficient.

The Mast humidifier is a perfect addition to the home during the cold and dry winter months. During winter, dry air can take a toll on the skin, hair, eyes, and general health, but humidifiers replenish much need moisture and can benefit a person's health.

The Mast is made from high-quality timber that is called Japanese Cypress. Japanese Cypress has a fresh lemon scent, and as the moisture is dispersed into the air, the sweet scent of lemons permeates the room. The timber is also durable and rot-resistant. Each humidifier is custom made.

Aircell and Gogo Video

Air travel can provide a person time to catch up on reading, napping, and in some cases work. Unfortunately, most people have a difficult time getting their work done because of a lack of Internet service in the sky.

Gogo is attempting to solve this problem with their in-flight portal. With Gogo In-flight Internet, the airplane becomes hub of Internet activity and passengers are able to check their email, surf the web, and finally get some work done.

The in-flight internet technology works easily. First the passenger connects with his or her own Wi-Fi device. They then turn their Wi-Fi on, connect to the gogoinflight signal, sign up, and then have access to the internet.

In an attempt to make air travel even more friendly and bearable, Gogo has decided to offer a service called the Gogo Video. The Gogo video will allow users to watch film rentals and TV shows through a streaming service available through the in-flight Wi-Fi. Each film or TV show comes with a price tag, which will range from $2 to $4 based on the program.

After the video is purchased, the movie or television show will be available for viewing for up to 24 hours. Users can watch their videos even after the flight has landed because it resides on the laptop.

On particularly long flights, there are usually a handful of movies and television shows available for travelers to view, however, Gogo will dramatically expand these options with the Gogo video. Travelers will have enough videos to keep them busy enough to forget they are even travelling.

Gogo will be offered on many airlines through Aircell. Although passengers are anxious for the service they will have to wait until the end of 2010 before the Gogo video is available. Sadly, the service will only be available for Windows laptops initially.
