If you want something uniquely design for your home, this could be one. Defendius door chain guard helps you to protect your home against unauthorized entry. The person would have to solve the maze in order to open the door. A novel artistic idea but it won’t guard perfectly against a forced entry and would be cumbersome to open for an emergency.
Don’t worry, at least the chain is long enough to reach the far end of the maze.
We’re all familiar with coffee to go, but what about a “To Go” coffee house? The world’s first “instant café” is the brainchild of architect and artist Adam Kalkin, whose work involves the design and implementation of “Quik Houses” created from used shipping containers. The instant coffee house was born out of the concept of crate internet cafés (Where’s there’s a computer, there must be coffee, right?) and redesigned from Kalkin’s Push Button House, which previewed at Art Basel Miami Beach.
The Cargo Café can be delivered just about anywhere by truck. From there, it’s a mere push of a button and a 90 second wait for it to open (which it does like a blooming flower) before the fully furnished café it’s ready for business – lights, tables, seats, even a kitchen are included.

Water is one of the most precious gifts of nature and what a paradox it is that this same water when contaminated is the cause of death. With natural disasters striking us every now and then it’s quite a task to get fresh drinkable water to the affected people. Michael Pritchard, an Ipswich-based businessman has invented a £190 bottle that makes ‘foul-smelling water drinkable in seconds.’

This breakthrough discovery can filter out any particle or viruses that are longer than 15 nanometers than 200 nanometers bacteria in size currently used in water treatment but not viruses which are 25 nanometers in length. This means the process of cleaning can be done effectively without any use of chemicals and made water drinkable in seconds.
The idea came up when he watched the Tsunami disaster where people were desperately in need of clean water. His trials and errors finally yielded result, a prototype that will filter water quickly, safely and even potable with this Life Saver bottle design.
