It’s a humidifier disguised as a Fleshlight disguised as a beer can. Seriously. More »
Having humidifiers in your home can sometimes change its aesthetic atmosphere, sometimes even making you look sickly. But with this Concrete Block Humidifier’s simple, yet ultra-sleek design, you can now avoid drying up—in style.
Humidifiers can be a big help in the cold winter months, but spending $US117 on a ‘Lilo and Stitch’-themed version seems a little excessive if you ask me. On the plus side, it is USB powered, and kids would surely love the Disney vibe and the endless variety of juvenile jokes that it inspires. [GeekStuff4U via The Raw Feed]
While energy issues tend to get a lot more media play, a perhaps even bigger challenge we’ll need to collectively deal with soon is the problem of potable water. Israeli company EWA is hoping to help nations with less fresh water resources get it inexpensively by turning humidity in the air into drinkable fluids. EWA, which stands for Extraction of Water from Air, uses a heat-based absorption system and a special energy saving condenser to suck moisture from the atmosphere and into reservoirs cleanly and efficiently.
This isn’t the first USB-powered humidifier you’ve seen, but it may be the weirdest: it comes shaped and painted like a drink can. It uses ultrasound to generate “cool, moisturising steam” at the rate of 50ml per hour, which may sound attractive to you if your office environment is one of those over-air-conditioned ones. Though, nowadays in this crazy world, having a can on your desk connected to a computer and giving off bouts of “steam” is probably something you want to explain to your office mates if you don’t want to cause a panic. Yours, from Brando and in several can colours for just US$24. [Brando]
