THIS is the kind of recycled design I like to see.

It’s safe to assume no one would like to get hit with a water bottle in the first place, so if it has an attachment specifically designed to fuck your shit up I guess it will increase the effectiveness of using a water bottle for a weapon from -3 to ummm… 1?. You can tell it’s dangerous because in the last picture the person holding it is wearing gloves. It’ll probably rip your bare skin to shreds if you even touch it. Be careful.
Is it okay if I said it just looks cool and I want one, regardless if it’s a weapon? Maybe this could be a fashion statement?
BONUS! It’s dishwasher safe.

Okay I don’t even like crushed ice, but I still like the idea.

An oldie but a goodie. This is still one of my abosolute favorite electronics design concepts. The original concept calls for casual (non-intensive) computer use, but I think this design can be expanded into a more powerful and functional laptop, specifcally aimed at travelers / always-on-the-go types. Those cute netbooks that are popular now are awesome and all, but typing on a small keyboard sucks and is very non-ergonomic. A flip-out fullsize keyboard like this might just to the trick.

Lunchbox Laboratory is a collaboration between Futurefarmers + the Biological Sciences Team, National Renewable Energy Lab. Currently scientists are using algae to produce hydrogen and have discovered that it is a viable renewable energy form, in that,algae is everywhere and it could also be used to produce biodiesel. One of the main hurdles for the research is to find the most productive strains of algae. Since there are potentially millions of strains, this task is monumental.
Lunchbox Laboratory is a prototype for a potentially distributed research tool that would be sent to schools such that young scientists can do primary screening of a collection of algae strains. This will serve as a preliminary screening such that non productive strains will be ruled out and only productive strains will reach labs. This project enables students to participate in big science as well as network with other students nationwide to compare notes.

Collect algae and look good doing it.

Food Chain Friends are from Daro, a small green planet much like Earth was 200 million years ago. Daro teems with wildlife, and its exceptionally social and gracious species flourish in a complex – but oddly, very friendly – ecosystem. They’re friends. They eat each other. It’s a complicated relationship!

Amazing! Teach your little ones the complex food cycles of interplanetary creatures.
