The author of this project is designer Daan Roosegaarde, already known for the glowing highway we wrote about last week. Continue reading
Fontus – an inexhaustible source of water for cyclists
If you are a cyclist, you are familiar with the feeling of anxiety that arises when you start running out of water in the middle of a ride: there are still several kilometers to go home, and the risk of dehydration increases significantly. Fortunately, the invention of student designer Christoph Reitzaar will save you from both dehydration and unnecessary worries. Christoph has developed a device that attaches to the bicycle frame and uses solar energy to convert moisture in the air into drinking water in your bottle. The secret of the new device lies in the use of thermoelectric cooling. Solar panels generate energy, which is used to cool the top part of the device, where the air enters during the bike ride; the moisture condenses and flows into the bottle. The bottom part remains warm, which only accelerates the condensation process. Continue reading

The very fast Turbo electric bike from Specialized
Last year, the company Specialized released the Turbo electric bicycle, but unfortunately it was too unsafe and therefore could not be sold in Europe and the USA on legal grounds, and in other countries its release was delayed. However, now urban racers can let loose – the Turbo version in the USA costs an exorbitant $5900, but is capable of reaching the same top speed (45 km/h) with the help of a combination of pedal drive and a 250 W electric motor. Dealers are not in a hurry to supply it to us, so we will have to order it from abroad for a lot of money. Considering such performance, the Turbo practically pays for itself – who wouldn’t want to overtake the turtle-like traffic jam during rush hour on a bicycle lane? Continue reading
