Other than some of the most imaginative products, you will come across some of the most outrageous civic/community projects that are bound to amaze you. It's creativity unlimited!
Kickstarter recently released its 'Year in review' and we've picked 5 most innovative products that were just a figment of imagination, once upon a time, but thanks to Kickstarter, these products earned the funding required to make them a reality. And today, you can buy them in just a couple of clicks, have a look at them below:
Window Farms: Vertical Food Gardens
Windowfarms is a smart product that lets you grow fresh vegetables at home by harnessing the natural light at your window. Mostly, you can grow fresh ingredients like basil, fennel, mint, strawberries, cherry tomatoes, okra, peppers and much more.
Other than promoting a green life in your home, they encourage active participation in their online community, that works towards collaborating all kinds of tips, information, ideas and motivation required for you to bring plants into your daily regime. If you are not interested in buying one of these Windowfarms, you can very well build your own if you like.
"A Windowfarm grows large plants with compact root systems by delivering ideal nutrition to the roots with precision timing. You get bigger, healthier plants per foot of vertical window space! You fill the container at the bottom with water and a kind of "liquid soil" once a week. A pump on a timer periodically sends water and food to the top, where it trickles down through all the plants' roots and is recaptured at the bottom. The plants are sitting, not in dirt, but in clay pellets."
Twine: Listen To Your World, Talk To The Internet
Twine is quite a clever gadget that sends you tweets, emails or texts on behalf of your basement or your laundry. A cloud-based wireless module that carries features like on-board temperature and vibration sensors. In short, if you are on a vacation and your basement floods, "Twine" will text you or email you the situation; it can even send you a tweet when your laundry is done.
"A durable 2.5" square provides WiFi connectivity, internal and external sensors, and two AAA batteries that keep it running for months. A simple web app allows you to quickly set up your Twine with human-friendly rules — no programming needed."
Revolights: A Revolution In Bike Lighting System
Revolights is a cool innovation in bike lighting system, a product that mounts LED rings to rims of each wheel. Other than helping a biker navigate at night easily by illuminating the path, both sideways and forward, it also makes the biker easily visible and highlights his/her presence on the road. So basically, it is lighting and sighting in one product.
"An increase in bicycle lighting and sighting has the potential to reduce rider injuries and fatalities. It's time to provide riders with a single bike light solution that allows them to safely experience the joy of riding, regardless of the time of day. Let’s shift the bike light paradigm."Interview with Jim Houk, co-founder of Revolights
CineSkates: Wheels For Your Camera
CineSkates is a nifty product with a set of three wheels that can attach to a tripod and allow you to create a fluid video. A portable equipment that allows filmmakers to capture motions without using bulky gadgets. The only way to see and understand its awesome functions is by checking out this video below, which has been created using one of these CineSkates:
Coffee Joulies: For That Perfect Cup Of Coffee
I don't wanna sound biased, but I think this is my favorite product, mostly because I am a hopeless coffee lover and love the thought process behind this product. Coffee Joulies are like magical beans that controls the temperature of your coffee; and can keep it that way for hours. Other than keeping your coffee hot for hours, it also cools down your extra hot cup of coffee (or tea). It absorbs the thermal energy and brings the temperature down to make it drinkable instantly. And once the right temperature is achieved, it releases the heat back to your coffee and keeps it at the right temperature for hours.
"This amazing feat of thermodynamics happens thanks to a special non-toxic material sealed within the polished stainless steel shell. This material is designed to melt at 140 degrees Fahrenheit, and absorbs a lot of energy as it melts. This is how Joulies cool your coffee down three times faster than normal. Once it reaches this temperature, the special material begins to solidify again, releasing the energy it stores when it melted."
