Head out to the blue waters with this green yet versatile boat this summer. It’s not that we haven’t come across any eco boats, but what makes the Kahuna more exceptional is its ability to transform into a tent for resting time. Shaped by Mario Weiss, it targets all those who care to leave the terrestrial shores for some peaceful isolated recreation. Powered by pedaling, the main drive of the Kahuna is the Mirage Drive, a pedal/crank mechanism designed by Hobie Kayaks. An ordinary paddle assists in maneuvering the boat. Once you reach your destination or are simply onshore it’s irresistible—just hit the ground to set a tent over this boat.
For camping, a screen cloth can be mounted between the outriggers to serve as a base for the tent and as a camp bed. Keeping you off the ground, it will ensure the most comforting sleep. No worries about the shore or river bed being wet or even creepy-crawlies getting in!
It even houses a detachable, folding seat for better comfort and for resistance against the leg movement needed by the Mirage Drive.
Crafted out of natural-fiber composite materials, it is light, and with the right resin it can even be biodegradable, when reduced to small pieces.

NASA Concept Car Can Spin 360 degrees
Design is one of the most important aspects of car-making for it’s where the making of a car begins as they say it all begins on a paper and ends when the wheels are affixed. To get more and more customers to buy a particular car, the design plays a very vital role indeed, for only the ones who know what they want buy a car of their choice and for the others, choice means a good design. In the times to come, car-designing would head towards a different domain where design with multiple benefits would be preferred. At that point in time designers like Marek Kedzierski and Michal VlĨek would be hailed for their creations such as the NASA Concept Car. Ask me what is special about the design-well, it is the ability to rotate 360 degrees with extreme ease that inturn enables the car to be driven sideways. The only problem (which would hopefully be taken care off in the future) is the way the head is left outside, where the rest of the body is immersed in the car. The immediate solution could be the use of helmets but then it is supposed to be a car, a confusing automobile future beckons!

WAKE n' BACON
A fun alarm - WAKE n' BACON by Matty Sallin, Daniel Bartolini, Hsiao-huh Hsu.
WHAT: An alarm clock that wakes you up with the smell and sizzle of cooking bacon.
WHY: No one likes to wake up, especially by an alarm. This clock gently wakes you up with the mouthwatering aroma of bacon, just like waking up on a Sunday morning to the smell of Mom cooking breakfast. Unless you're Jewish.
HOW: A frozen strip of bacon is placed in Wake n' Bacon the night before. Because there is a 10 minute cooking time, the clock is set to go off 10 minutes before the desired waking time. Once the alarm goes off, the clock it sends a signal to a small speaker to generate the alarm sound. We hacked the clock so that the signal is re-routed by a microchip that in responds by sending a signal to a relay that throws the switch to power two halogen lamps that slow-cook the bacon in about 10 minutes. if I don't like bacon, could I change to others?
