A.Benjamin Franklins kombinerade stol och trappstege på Nils HolgerB. Hopfällbar skottkärra på Rusta

Picks from a river of advertising.
During the past couple of days, we have made two discoveries. The first is we have found that the Benjamin Franklin chair and stepladder (A) is available in Sweden, too. They call it Sally, but its origins seem Franklinesque to us. Available from Nils Holger for SEK 1.795:- (approx. USD 260:-). The other is that the Rusta stores now sell a foldable wheel barrow (B) that we posted on earlier, or at least one like it. It is SEK 99:-, (approx. USD 14:40) which has to be considered reasonable since the U.S. version was about USD 145:- when we saw it last.

Basting brush bottle top

Bottle top basting brush.
You buy basting oil. You pour the basting oil in a bowl. You baste the meat with oil from the bowl. You throw away left over basting oil. You buy more basting oil. This could be perceived as waste, but we have discovered a way of saving basting oil. This basting brush attaches directly to the bottle, thus eliminating the bowl altogether. We have not tried it, but it sure looks like a neat idea. I is also promised to fit most (American) bottles of basting oil. From Organize Everything for USD 3:99. [Via]

Thermo-acoustic stove, fridge and generator for the third world.
Researchers from British universities, the charity organization Practical Action, American Los Alamos National Laboratory and the hi-fi company GP Acoustics have cooperated in constructing a revolutionary device that is a stove, a fridge and an electric generator all in one. The machine uses thermo acoustics, a spin off technology from space research that can transform the energy in sound waves to electrical power. The super stove channels the heat from a fire into a specially designed chimney, where gas pressure creates sound. The sound is transformed into electrical current via a linear alternator (described as an inverted loudspeaker) and powers the fridge, a computer, a mobile charger or any number of electrical devices. The stove project, SCORE, is so far a concept, but scientists hope to have a pilot rig for trials within four years. [Via]

Wohnschiene de-cluttering furiture

Modular de-cluttering furniture.
This is a tip from Smart Stuff reader Thomas C. and it has been sitting in the in-box far too long, since we have been waiting to see if this smart concept for space-saving furniture would enter production. We still do not know if it is being produced, but here goes anyway. The Wohnschiene by Hans Hagemeister is a modular shelving and storage device where different modules; shelf, small bookcase, flowerpot, hanger, mirror, etc, can be combined on a wall mounted track. Perfect for de-cluttering a bedroom, an entrance, the kitchen... you name it. Thanks to Thomas for the tip!

Spray can allows spraying straight up.
If this is not news to you, you will have to forgive us, but this is something we have never seen before. A spray can with a nozzle that lets you spray straight up. All other spray cans we have ever encountered have the nozzle mounted at a 90° angle to the can, thus making it virtually impossible to spray anything but very short bursts upward (or downward, for that matter) before the spray can releases only the drive agent. This "up-shot" idea should be applied to a lot of stuff other than this, but perhaps it already is, and we have simply missed it. [Via] PS. The product in question is a sort of paint used for quick and effortless cover-up of ceiling stains. If you want some, it is USD 4:47 on Amazon.
