Power Aware Cords

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/3b-26-faqrul 3/15

PurposeThe cord is designed to visualize theenergy rather than hiding it.

In the night the cords can be the nightlight and can prevent a person fromtripping on the wire.It also helps to save electricity as thereis no need to on the night lights. A fewPower Aware Cords and it will light upthe night.

How does it works?

The electricity is representedthrough glowing pulses, flow, andintensity of light.

Good points Bad pointsIt makes people aware of theamount of electricity thatpasses through a wire.It also can act as a night lightas a lot of wires are usedaround the house.

It will eventually take upmore electricity then anormal wire.

Power strips are used on a daily basis in most homes as ameans of ‘transporting’ energy to the products we use everyday. The ‘Power-Aware Cord’ is a re-designed electrical power

strip in which the cord is designed to visualize the energy ratherthan hiding it.

The current use of electricity is represented through glowingpulses, flow, and intensity of light. Expressing the presence of energy through light can inspire people to explore and reflect

upon the energy consumption of electrical devices in theirhome.

Purpose

Provide free and eco-friendlyenergy.

Very efficient ex. Mobile phonedoesn't have battery a person justneed to stop by to charge the phoneat any of the kiosk.It runs by humans kinetic energy.

How it works?It works like a musical box as to producethe energy it has to be cranked.As the knob turns it is producing kineticenergy which helps the generator createelectricity.

Good points Bad pointsIt provides free energy.It is efficient and easy touse.

It has to have becranked to generatefree electricity.

‘Free Energy’ consists of conceptual design examples basedon experimental user methods to expose alternativeexpressions and choices with respect to energy use ineveryday life.

Two prototypes – the ‘Energy Tap’ and ‘Kinetic Door’ havebeen developed to explore relations of design to energyperceptions and changing behaviors. The ‘Energy Tap’ is a self-sustaining energy outlet for openuse it may be inserted into any space, and cranked to

generate energy to power an electric or electronicappliance to facilitate any sort of activity.

The ‘Kinetic Door’ intervenes into a common energy choicein Sweden, augmenting existing revolving doors in order toreward door-pushers for making an extra energy-friendly

effort.

TWEEL

8/14/2019 3B 26 Faqrul

http://slidepdf.com/reader/full/3b-26-faqrul 11/15

PurposeIt does not waste gas as a tire willhave pressure and TWEEL saves theextra gas.Saves money and gasIt also uses less raw material makingit an efficient product.

How it worksIt works by and rubber material.When there is a bumpy surface therubber will adapt to the surface bybending.

Good points Bad pointsIt uses lesser gas.Has all the same abilities asa normal tire.Its price is slowlydecreasing.

High maintenance.

Can’t go onto a very rockysurface.

More details

Michelin first announced the Tweel in2005. The name is a combination of thewords tire and wheel because the Tweeldoesn’t use a traditional wheel hubassembly.

A solid inner hub mounts to the axle.That’s surrounded by polyurethanespokes arrayed in a pattern of wedges. Ashear band is stretched across the spokes,forming the outer edge of the tire (the

part that comes in contact with the road).

The tension of the shear band on thespokes and the strength of the spokesthemselves replace the air pressure of a

traditional tire. The tread is then attachedto the shear band.
