Headphones Meant Not to Filter out Background Noise




As oil reaches recording break highs, more and more people are turning to bikes to get them around and of course nobody wants to leave behind creature comforts like music while driving.
Problem is most of today’s headphones are designed to filter out background noise.
That’s not very safe for a bicyclists since hearing what’s coming is important. The Semicircle headphones are designed to fit in your ear without blocking background noise.


The unit is wireless with a Bluetooth module that connects to a standard headphone jack. Riding your bike, saving the Earth, saving money, and enjoying music while doing it shouldn’t be a hazard. Nice concept.

Jerk It to Get the Juice



The Shake MP3 player by Kenneth Tay makes use of kinetic energy to keep the batteries charges, similar to modern timepieces. With the hold button switched on, jerk it a few times to get the juice. Yea I just said that. Conversely if you leave the hold switch off, the shaking pauses/plays music.

Designer: Kenneth Tay


An electromagnetic coil is connected to the battery, converting kinetic energy into electrical energy that charges the battery.

The player connects to the computer via USB cable through the headphone jack, facilitating the transfer of songs as well as the conventional method of charging.

Going Yo-Yo Over the iPhone


Peter Thuvander was so excited over his new iPhone that he designed an induction powered yo-yo charger for it.
