    Magnetic Stirring Bars for Kitchen Equipment

    By: Philip Schilling Kitchen
    0

    The Problem

    You get a call and forget to stir the meal on the oven. How often did it happen to you and your meal got burned? Or, did you ever wanted to do better things than monotonously stirring the meals?

    The Solution

    More than 15 years ago I saw in a chemistry lab a magnetic stir to mix liquids and ever thought about applying it to the kitchen since my meals so often got burned. How it works: Below the cooking pot will be placed an equipment (it can also be included in the pot or in the oven but a flexible solution which can work with existing equipment has the largest potential) which produces a magnetic field. In the pot will be placed a stir magnet bar (http://www.amazon.com/Scienceware-F371600000-Octagonal-Magnetic-Assortment/dp/B002VBW72K). Depending on stir intensity and cooking pot size, you can use the adequate stirring magnet. The velocity can be managed by the equipment below the cooking pot (http://www.amazon.com/Hanna-Instruments-Stainless-Auto-Reverse-Speedsafe/dp/B003IKNJSY).

    Camera Strap Hands-Free Stabilizing System Video: youtu.be/P0NP1TBxiS8

    By: Christopher Hunt Accessories
    1

    The Problem

    Stabilization is the key to good quality photos and video. The only stabilizing systems on the market today are separate from the strap. This means they have to be carried around in addition to the camera, and make the photographer look awkward and overly conspicuous. They are also not usually hands-free.

    The Solution

    Build a smart "exoskeleton" right into the camera strap making it the perfect, easy-to-use, mobile hands-free stabilizing system. It also looks completely inconspicuous meaning the photographer will blend right in and minimize the "goofy-looking-ness" factor. I built the prototype with wood, and it is very lightweight, however I am sure the smart people of Quirky will come up with other potential materials to use. The final product can easily be made to be completely adjustable for various sized people. The camera attachment is very easy as all cameras are designed with a universal thread system on their base, allowing even the prototype to easily adapt to any camera. I have found no stabilization system that is built right into the strap and is hands-free as is the case with this invention. This system can also easily be used with a viewfinder or an LCD screen, as it easily adjusts to any level, with complete stability and smoothness in tracking/movement.

    Heat hands and feet by energy generated through movement during winter months and cold seasons

    By: Philip Schilling Electronics
    0

    The Problem

    During winter (e.g. ski vacations) you often have cold hands and feet even when wearing gloves and shoes.

    The Solution

    You can generate energy when moving your hands and feet to heat the shoes or gloves. Optionally, it can also be saved so that the heater will be on when you stand still for some time or you can connect a cable to charge mobile devices like smartphones which will be hold via a wristband. How it works: You insert a flexible inlay into gloves and shoes, which will be layered by dielectric materials like hard rubber (-) and silk (+) or layers of different metals which separate protons and electrons when moved. When you walk or move your hands, the inlay of the shoe or glove is deformed, the different layers rub and generate the energy. The layers will be connected to electrodes to absorb the energy.

    A movement charging iPhone case, similar to the watch motion winders

    By: Karl Dorn Apple accessories
    1

    The Problem

    Having a phone case that produces a small amount of current that charges the phone every time it moves.

    The Solution

    Some watches are self winders, there is no need for a battery, as the movement of your timepiece causes mechanics inside to constantly keep the spring wound. In a similar way movement of a phone case could allow a very small amount of electricity to be produced, if a suitable charging platform is created, that sits inside the phone case.
