利物浦公园里的奇怪旋转树【视频】Liverpool Park, strange rotating tree


8月20日,艺术家Diller Scofidio 和Renfro 在利物浦市民公园里“种”下了的17棵旋转树(Arbores Laetae)。这是他们为Liverpoor Biennial 艺术展会而制作的。

August 20, artists Diller Scofidio and Renfro public park in Liverpool "species" under a rotation of 17 trees (Arbores Laetae). This is their Liverpoor Biennial art exhibition produced.



每棵旋转树的底座都有一个机械装置,可人工调节使其自动旋转。非常有趣,这里有个4分钟视频详细介绍了这个玩意。以下是:

Rotating the base of each tree has a mechanical device, the artificial regulation so that it can automatically rotate. Very interesting, here are a four minute video on the details of this thing. Following is:





通过互联网来喂鸡你听说过吗Through the Internet to Hey chicken


新加坡国立大学的Mixed Reality Lab(实验室)有一个古怪的项目,使用互联网来饲养家禽,例如鸡。产生这样的想法主要是因为很多人并不按时喂养宠物,而这个系统便是让人们更好地了解宠物的情况,更方便的来对各种情况进行应对。
Mixed Reality Lab 这个系统的所使用的控制器很有趣是一个类似玩具娃娃的黄色玩意,而宠物那边似乎要批上一个什么特殊外套。总的来说,就是把真实的宠物变成电子宠物。电子宠物都玩过吧,里面的小狗、小猫饿了、累了都有状态栏显示,而处理这些事件也只需点击按钮便能完成。
National University of Singapore's Mixed Reality Lab (laboratory) has a curious item, use the Internet to keep poultry, such as chicken. Have the idea mainly because many people are not on time and feeding pets, and this system is to let people better understand the situation pets, more convenient to deal with the various conditions. Source Mixed Reality Lab of the system used by the controller is a very interesting toy doll similar to the yellow thing, but there seems to pets on a grant any special jacket. In general, is to become a real pet electronic pets. Electronic pets have played it inside the puppy, kitten hungry, tired all the status bar, to deal with these events also will be able to complete only the click of a button.

创意环保磁力车Creative environmental magnetic car




首先,这是一辆绿色环保的车车。而且,不同于某些除了环境友好性能令人撞墙的设计,这车通过电力和磁铁克服了万有引力(- - ,啥?我看花眼了还是翻错了?)!
这个设计的巧妙之处在于,抛弃的常规的致力于动力的研发方向——关键不是出多少力,而是力作用在哪里——不是混合燃料,不是小巧的机型,而是直接对重力下手。电力引擎会产生与道路相反的磁极,从而减轻车身50% 的重量。

First, it is a green trucks. Moreover, unlike some properties in addition to environment-friendly wall is the design of this car through electricity and magnets to overcome the gravity (- -, span «I Kan Huayan or turned the wrong»)!

This ingenious design, because it abandoned the commitment to the conventional engine of research and development direction - the key is not how many of force but where - not mixed fuel, is not compact model, but directly to the gravity start . Power and road engines will have the opposite pole, so as to reduce the 50 per cent of body weight.









然则,就想大家预料到一样,这种车对路面有要求——道路必须磁化。反正我没听说过有磁化的道路——磁悬浮不算。正应该是制约其推广的最大瓶颈。


What, you expect to want, such vehicles on the road is required - the road to be magnetized. Anyway, I have heard that the road of magnetization - the magnetic suspension is not. Now should be to promote the constraints of its biggest bottleneck.







PS:窃以为这种车辆也不一定是大街上跑的,可以先推广到高尔夫俱乐部什么试试看。



PS: burglary that such vehicles on the street is not necessarily to run, could be extended to try what Golf Club.



植物戒指,生长的珠宝Growth of jewellery




设计师Hafsteinn Juliusson 把这个东西命名为Growing Jewelry(生长的珠宝)。女生对应的是戒指,男生对应的还有那玩意中文怎么说?hehe~


Hafsteinn Juliusson designers to this thing called Growing Jewelry (the growth of jewellery). Female counterpart is the ring, the boys have Nawan Yi Chinese counterparts how that » Ha ha~
