SMART STUFF #6, VOLUME 3. JUNE 2007 |..1..2..3..4..5 ... >![]() Worldbike solves transports without gas or diesel. Anyone who remember reports from the Vietnam war must still be pretty impressed by the way the NVA managed to bring up artillery, ammunition and supplies using bicycles on narrow jungle paths along the so called Ho Chi Minh trail. Incredible amounts of supplies could be loaded on ordinary bikes. The Worldbike project in Kenya has taken the bike transport idea to the next level with the Big Boda. With a specially developed bicycle extension kit, an ordinary bike can be loaded with lots of cargo. Or people. The advantage compared to regular three-wheeled cargo bikes is probably the fact that two-wheelers are easier to drive. The Worldbike extension is about 2,000 Kenya Shillings or approx. USD 27:-. More facts on Worldbike. 5 June 2007 ![]() ![]() Looking for waterfront property? Check this site first. There are quite a few indications that the melting polar ice caps and glaciers will cause the sea level to rise. So if you are about to sign a contract for some sea-front real estate, you may be well advised to think it through one more time. One day you may end up with more sea than property. On the Flood Maps site they have used Google Maps and NASA's topographical data to illustrate how the world's coast lines will change with every meter of sea level increase. Living in Stockholm, we don't seem to run the risk of getting our feet wet. But for those contemplating beach front property in the popular resort towns of Skanör and Falsterbo in the south of Sweden, a bit of caution may be advisable. The left map shows the present coastline. The right one the coastline after a 1 meter rise. And, if you live in Denmark, Britain or Holland you should really have a look... [Via] 3 June 2007 ![]() Non-sticky lemon squeezer. We had a similar invention on the site a few weeks back. It was the Lemon Ball. But now that we have found this version, we think it is a lot smarter, mostly because it is made in just one piece. This lemon squeezer ball is made in silicone and comes from American kitchen stuff shop Sur La Table where it is USD 5:95, which sounds a lot more reasonable than the USD 27:- the other guys were asking for the Lemon Ball. 1 June 2007 Smart Stuff Weekly. We're testing a weekly news letter! We have had some suggestions for a weekly newsletter to complement the (almost) daily one. So here we are. You have three choices.

That way it will be a lot easier to find you in the lists. 1. Click here for a new subscription to Smart Stuff Daily. 2. Click here for a new subscription to Smart Stuff Weekly. 3. Click here if you want to switch from Smart Stuff Daily to Smart Stuff Weekly. 1 June 2007 The best on Smart Stuff in May. It is always hard to pick favorites, but in retrospect some gadgets, inventions and ideas almost always seem to be smarter or more fun. Here are our 5 favorites from May 2007: The clay pot fridge. How to apply basic physics to help give people a better life. DeVillain folding electric guitar. Not because we play the guitar, but because it was so improbable. Q-drum. Smart water transport for third world countries. Compacting waste bin. Not just because it compacts the trash, but because it uses solar energy to power itself. Sunlight in the basement. A smart way of supplying sunlight (almost) everywhere you might want it. 1 June 2007 THIS MONTH HAS MORE PAGES |..1..2..3..4..5 ... > DEPARTMENTS | APPAREL | APPLIANCES | BAR | BBQ | BICYCLE | CAR | CHILDREN | COMPUTERS/TELECOM | CULTURE | DVD | EDIBLES | ENVIRONMENT | FLASHLIGHTS/TORCHES | FOOTWEAR | GARDEN | HOME | INTERNET | INVENTIONS A-Z | KITCHEN | KITCHEN FURNITURE | LEISURE | LINKS | META | MISC. | MOTOR CYCLES | OUTDOORS | PETS | PERSONAL CARE | PHOTOGRAPHY | READER'S CHOICE | SAFETY AND SECURITY | SERVICES | SMART STUFF aSTORE | SOLAR POWER | SOUND AND MUSIC | SWEDISH | THIRD WORLD | TRAVEL | TOOLS | VIDEO | WATER | WORK TIPS AND TRICKS | APPAREL | BAR AND DRINKS | BICYCLE | CAR AND DRIVING | COMPUTERS | CULTURE AND LEARNING | GARDENING | HOME | INTERNET | KITCHEN AND COOKING | OUTDOORS | PETS | TRAVEL | WORK AND BUSINESS Did you find the information on this site useful?
