high performances for a low weight-质轻却性能高

The new MacBook Air.

All flash storage, multi-touch trackpad, long-lasting battery, high-resolution display: these are only the main features of the new MacBook Air developed by Apple. Another primary characteristic of this project is the low thickness and weight, to bring it everywhere!

high performances for d3o-d3o的高性能

 

 d3o material: limb and head protectors

d3o is a dilatant material commonly used for impact protection. It was developed by the British chemical engineering company d3o Lab. d3o Lab was founded by Richard Palmer and specialises in creating unique polymers for impact protection. This lightweight material is very flexible and malleable, until subjected to abrupt force, making it useful in protective clothing in situations where the wearer may be exposed to blunt trauma. The material has been used in the production of protective garments used by US and Canadian skiers during the 2006 Winter Olympic Games.

Properties:

    - Density: 0.5 - 0.65 g/cm3
    - Shear Hardness: 65 - 81 - "00"
    - Melting Point: d3o is a thermosetting plastic
    - Operating temperature range: -55°C to 120°C
    - Shelf life: Over 4 years
    - Non-toxic
    - Repeat washing: 40 washes at 40°C
   - Tensile strength: 1Mpa according to the standard BS EN ISO 1798:2000

high & low level of humidity-高低不同程度的湿度

Solid Poetry, a concrete developed by Susanne Happle and Frederick Moleschot, Droog Design.

Solid Poetry is part of those materials called "smart materials": a series of products which can change their structure, composition, shape or function depending on the external inputs.

In particular, this kind of concrete is able to change its surface texture when the level of humidity of the ambient increases: a simple surface will transform itself in a floral textured surface with a very astonished effect!

Staircase, the storage system in vertical by Danny Kuo

The most efficient way to build is vertically.Building vertically saves space as it uses minimal ground square meters. When it comes to interior design, the same rule can be applied. By focusing on height rather than width, efficient storage designs can be created. However, high storage designs can create a new problem because the higher storage parts will be difficult to reach. My Staircase is a shelving unit that combines a bookshelf with a pullout stair system in the bottom three shelves. The shelving unit is 2.6 meters high and the top shelves are accessible by using the bottom shelves as steps for accessing the higher shelves.
