 Einstein Fridge Design Can Help Global CoolingAn early invention by Albert Einstein has been rebuilt by scientists at Oxford University who are trying to develop an environmentally friendly refrigerator that runs without electricity.Malcolm McCulloch, an electrical engineer at Oxford who works on green technologies, is leading a three-year project to develop more robust appliances that can be used in places without electricity. His team has completed a prototype of a type of fridge patented in 1930 by Einstein and his colleague, the Hungarian physicist Leo Szilard. It had no moving parts and used only pressurized gases to keep things cold. The design was partly used in the first domestic refrigerators, but the technology was abandoned when more efficient compressors became popular in the 1950s. more www.gua...

 Season II with GAEAformsGAEAforms has started it's second season with Maison Objet Paris this fall.Their new collection illustrates a dimension of elegance with energized and youth ideas. The trick for the beauty in combining composite materials with plywood is what the designers searched for in their new collection. 01 Storage System consists of chest of drawers, storage for drinks and a cabinet with several dimensions. By combining two contrary materials and processes - wood and composites, the designers Pinar Yar and Tugrul Govsa have created an experimented surface that is sealed with each other to create an illusion of a molded wooden cabinet surface. more Season II with GAEAforms design directory GAEAforms > Industrial Design Studios added by Levent OZLER |
