Smart Tiles
July 12th, 2006
Bathroom tiles decorated with heat-sensitive ink help visualize water consumption during showers. Heat prompts the “thermochomic ink” to gradually (and temporarily) fade; the longer the shower the whiter your tiles.
Dutch Tub
May 25th, 2006
What’s the biggest problem with hot tubs? They pretty much have to stay in one place. The Dutchtub ($5625) is a portable hot tub that warms its water by way of connected outer pipes that coil around a fire basket, letting a natural fire do the work of warming the water all the way up to 113 degrees Fahrenheit. It also features a wine bottle holder with space for ice to keep your white/bubbly cool while you stay warm in the water. With available BBQ, chimney, and trailer accessories, we can’t wait to get our hands on one and take it to the closest beach we can find ? which unfortunately for us is hours and hours away.
Waterless Urinal
May 21st, 2006
The state-of-the-art, waterless urinal relies on a very simple principle: gravity. It works by allowing urine to pass through a liquid sealant that has a smaller density than urine. The urine goes directly into the drain so there is no flushing, and therefore no water required. The sealant system also keeps odors at bay A waterless urinal is cheaper to install because it doesn’t require any water plumbing, only plumbing for the sanitary system.
