blood

bloodGoths seem to be seen as having an overlap with the whole vampire thing.

Well this clever design sounds like it could well be a vampire/goth band………………….

Granted – I’m eagerly awaiting series 3 of True Blood and I have been known to hang out with members of the London Vampire Group and have actually read some Poppy Z Brite and Anne Rice novels – but that takes nothing away from Mike Thompson’s design.

Welcome to the stage – “Blood Lamp

As you may have already guessed this light actually generates its power from blood.

MWAHAhahahahaahahahahahhah!!

Errrrrrrrrr…… yeah.

To light up the lamp the user must break off the top of the lamp, dissolve a tablet in the solution and use their blood to power the light.

The point of this exercise is that it forces the lamp lighter to consider when the most important time to use the light is.

Basically; it forces them to be more considerate and reflect of how wasteful we are with energy on a daily basis.

nanowireEver considered yourself as a source of power?  Imagine, actually hooking up gadgets to you in order to power them?

This might not be as far-fetched as it sounds.

Scientists reckon that piezoelectric nanowires could be put into our blood vessels where they’d harness the energy created by blood flow in order to power various gadgets and futuristic people-powered devices.

I can’t help but vizualise a human clone farm all plugged into the National Grid powering our homes.

As far as powering our smaller gadgets via a seemingly vampiric source the scientists point out that there are no practical or commercial uses planned for these zinc oxide nanowires.

Not at the moment anyhow – or so they’re telling us!
