Blast those blonde moments sky-high.... from Yanko: Fireworks Help Find Your Car Every time I get out of a car I yell to my friends the exact floor, side, and column it’s located on. Two hours later we’re all wandering around trying to find it. Constantly clicking the remote keyless entry doesn’t help unless you’re within audible distance. I need something bigger, something I can’t miss. How about fireworks? The Fireworks Locator system by futurist with a sense of humor Mac Funamizu uses holographic projection technology to set off a display of lights and color you can’t miss. A remote activates an emitter installed on the top of your vehicle. That’s pretty much it. Feasibility aside, I could totally see Honda using this idea in one of their future ads. Imagine hundreds of Hondas creating an unforgettable light show. »

Think superhero mermaids.... from Yanko: Hot Jet-Ski Action with No Environmental Reaction I can ski above the water with an electrically charged motor? Sign me up! The Foiljet MR1 provides a speedy water motorcycle experience while supposedly causing minimal wake in the water and relatively no noise when in operation. Mermaids better keep their heads down for this one. Designers Matt De Bellefeuille and Robert Vandenham bring it to you straight: “An environmentally friendly recreational vehicle powered by a high torque 48 volt electric motor with benefits that include increased safety, efficiency and low noise. A unique and innovative vehicle which utilizes the latest in battery technology to provide unique thrills with no cost to the environment.” Check out the imagery and additional words below and tell me where the first race is because I want to be there with a big soda to watch the crashes.

Yummy, buttery, toast made in an environmentally friendly way.... what a sexy concept. Another amazing concept design from the Yanko Site: Toaster With Looks That Kill The Nahamer T450 is the first environmentally sustainable toaster. It is 20% faster and uses half the energy of a standard 900W toaster by having close-proximity low-temperature heating elements. If only one slice of bread it inserted then only one side of the toaster is turned on. It is also designed to be repaired if broken and disassembled at the end of its useful life. The window allows you to monitor the brownness of your toast and the Toast Drop system slides your toast straight onto a plate, ready to be eaten. It also features intuitive browning controls and turns on automatically when the front is closed. Designer: Rob Penny »

Another amazing concept design from the Yanko Site: An Urban Oasis OASIS is a water purifier, air purifier, and humidifier all in one. The idea loosely biomimics how nature cleans, recycles, and balances air and water. Water is naturally filtered into clean drinking water. Whatever you don’t drink is given to the plant which in turn cleans the air and balances humidity. The concept is a bit esoteric but if you break it down to its simplest form, it’s quite clever.

Presenting the best way to get lost in a walking stick. The GeoCane by Felix Hardmood Beck takes the idea of a divining rod and finds you some great adventure in the great hiking pilgrimage. Stamping the ground creates a path that noone else has followed, creating a unique experience for you, the final and last one true highlander. Designer Felix Hardmood Beck puts it like this: “The goal of this project was to translate the central aspects and values of the pilgrimage into a digital object – a new interpretation of the traditional walking-cane: The GeoCane. This new cane shows various references to the historic and modern pilgrimage, as well as historic and modern forms of navigation. By using the GeoCane, the user receives a new understanding of the historic identity of pilgrimage. “Geographical coordinates for a specific goal are loaded onto the GeoCane through a docking-station. Throughout the Neo-Pilgrimage an integrated microchip traces the chosen path, so that you are never guided on an already known road. By a slight vibration at grasping hight, the cane leads the way for the user. The place of destination remains unknown for the user and is not of such great importance as the path in itself.” Heigh Ho! Designer: Felix Hardmood Beck »

These chairs are suspended... Another amazing concept design from the Yanko Site: Space Age Seating Roller Coaster Style Hankering for that roller coaster ride feeling? Live vicariously thru the 4NE1 (get it?) seating solution. These chairs are suspended from the roof of a vehicle. This reconfiguration increases the amount of interior space. The design was created with the elderly and physically impaired in mind but as its name suggests, anyone can use it. The design has excellent properties for impact absorption in both front and rear impacts. The safety system is further augmented by an anti-whiplash backrest that comes forward upon impact. Best part it the stowaway feature - neatly sliding up and down roof rails or folding up when you need to seat more cargo than people. A review of current products that cater to this demographic has revealed that although there are systems in place to accommodate wheelchairs within vehicles, many of these systems do not use space efficiently, are not cost effective, lack configurability and are often created with the removal and replacement of original seating. This system is completely innovative and takes a whole new look at how we perceive space within a vehicle. Concerns have been raised about structural strength within the roof , but with structural reinforcement at little added cost - there is no reason why a roof cannot support the 24G crash impact requirements. Even the build materials are innovative. The seats will be made from a patent-pending lightweight fibre-composite developed by Futuris Automotive, which has superb structural properties. What does this all mean for you? You may never see something like this in ordinary cars but don’t be surprised when they start popping up in mass transit systems. We like the idea but what about fat people? This doesn’t exactly make travel any easier for them. Designer: Christopher Simmons »

I am notorious for not knowing I own a vibrator. Really. God's honest truth. I am, perhaps, the only human in the civilized- or at least electric outlet accessible- world who did not know that the Hitachi Magic Wand was not just for the back. I used mine on my back. A lot. And sometimes my neck. I never worked any magic elsewhere. Never crossed my mind. Did I mention that I'm IRISH Catholic? The naive kind? Worse, I carried it around in public- like through airports. I would even go so far as to leave it flagrantly displayed on top of all of my clothes in my luggage so that customs officials had to MANUALLY extract it and hold it up while rummaging through the rest. All the while? I was clueless it was a vibrator. A well-known vibrator. In fact, I did everything but use it as a jump rope in terms of displaying it publicly. What can I say? A decade of Irish dancing jigging' injuries left me with a lot of aches and pains. In Catholic places. Like my lower back. I really loved that 'ol wand. And then in a moment I will never forget, I saw it. On tv. In a Sex and the City episode. Only Samantha didn't have any Irish dancing jigging injuries.... I can still feel the sensation of the reel of mental snapshots smacking me back and forth about my head.... all the moments in which I flounced around, all but swinging my - what I now realized was a- SEXUAL STIMULATOR around like the boa of a transgender Cher in a Pride Parade. Of course I did what any good Irish Catholic aging schoolgirl would do. I reached for a drink. Then followed that with several more. But that's not quite the end of that saga. Noooo. There was one last chapter for the Magic Wand... a chapter so ripe with hellbound symbolism I have to laugh. Well, now that I escaped it alive anyway. I set myself on fire with it. Yes, on fire. Real flames. An actual dousing with liquid was even involved. It was fairly close, I would say, to self-immolation. Here's the deal- I was sitting at my desk at home. My back hurt. Again, I ALWAYS USED THIS AS A BACK MASSAGER. I swear. As further proof of that, the inferno happened as a result of me CROSSING MY LEGS. Unbeknownst to me, a foil gum wrapper had attached itself, like a tiny mint Joan of Ark, to the bottom of my shoe. It released itself above the computer's power strip, a shiny kamikaze Wrigley pilot on a mission to destroy the Sin Stick. A whole bunch of bad things happened (including the shorting out of my computer) and then I realized I smelled smoke. Like burning-denim smoke. Looked down. My pants were on fire. Really, if I wrote these things down for a movie they would be unreal. In my actual life, though, they are what I call "the usual." I have a very visually symbolic life. It's a bit exhausting to keep up with. At any rate, why am I telling you this? No good reason, really. Just that when I saw this Ipod Vibrator attachment, my first thought was, "Oh thank God I came across this ad. If someone had handed one to me I would have thought it was for karaoke." »

As long as it doesn't let people know when my mood is M&M Green. From Yanko: This is going to get a little hippie and spiritual so hold on. It’s common to focus on emotions while ignoring or having any awareness of what that goes on inside our body. This lack of understanding between the two can lead to health problems, for serious. So if we could keep track of how our emotions and bodies relate, what would that look like? This portable device lets the wearer express emotions with colors by correlating them with biometric data. The idea is to create another way to externalize how we feel in a language anyone can understand. Someone walking down the street with flash red might be upset, in a hurry, or angry. A computer keeps track of your colors, sort of a diary of emotions that can be turned into choreographed motion graphic pieces. It’s an esoteric concept but one grounded in scientifically proven models. We all react to colors and in most cases, can assign specific colors to a range of human emotions. I’d love to see this concept come to fruition. Designer: Sara Forsmark »
