单轮摩托只是一种假像见过四条腿的青蛙 没两条腿的蛤蟆?
看到图片就忽然蹦出这么一没头没脑的想法
这个侧面人的姿势为什么让我觉得囧呢...... 像骑了只鸟么?
真的是世界上第一台么 恩 我要查证一下
The world's first unicycle MOTORBIKE30th April 《Daliy Mail》UK![]() A young inventor has created a motorbike with a twist – it uses two wheels but they are positioned right next to each other, giving it the illusion of being a powered unicycle. And even better, it might help save the planet.
Ben Gulak has spent several years building the electric Uno that uses gyroscopic technology - like the infamous Segway commuter device - to stay upright.
The bizarre-looking contraption has only one switch - on or off - and is controlled entirely by body movement.
The rider leans forwards to accelerate to speeds of 25mph and back to slow down. It has two wheels side-by-side and has been turning heads wherever it has been ridden. The green machine is so small and light it can be taken indoors and carried into lifts - and is recharged by being plugged into the mains. The wheels are completely independent, allowing the bike to turn on a sixpence and the technology takes the balance and guesswork out of riding a unicycle.
Its 18-year-old creator is now looking for investors to get the Uno into production and onto the streets.
Ben, from Ontario, Canada, said: "I was inspired to make the bike after visiting China a few years ago and seeing all the smog.
"They all drive little bikes that are really polluting and I wanted to make something to combat that.
"I started with the concept because if something doesn't look cool people just won't be interested. "After coming up with the concept I started to build it and now have the first prototype and the reaction has been amazing.
"It has two wheels side by side and that means it is easier to turn as they are completely independent and have their own suspension.
"The bike has a 'neutral point' and when you lean forward it accelerates to keep the neutral point in the right place.
"It has a couple of gyros and is basically self-balancing - it takes the guesswork out of riding a unicycle.
"The bike takes a bit of getting used to because you have to learn to trust it. But it doesn't take long.
"It takes any weight and weighs 120 lbs and can fit into a lift so you can take it indoors to charge it up. "Currently it has a top speed of 25mph, but that will be increased greatly with bigger motors.
Segway Personal Transporter Segway 是一种电力驱动、具有自我平衡能力的个人用运输载具,是都市用绿色环保交通工具的一种。由美国发明家狄恩·卡门(Dean Kamen)与他的DEKA研发公司(DEKA Research and Development Corp.)团队发明设计,并创立责任有限公司(Segway LLC.),自2001年12月起将Segway商业化量產销售。虽然曾经一度被认为是划时代的科技发明前景一片看好,但由於如价格和法规等现实因素制约,产品并没有在上市后获得原本预期的迴响。 由於Segway是一种前所未见的崭新交通工具,因此很难用传统的分类方式定义它的种类。有人认为Segway应该是一种双轮版的单轮车(Unicycle),有人认为它应该是动力滑板车(Stand-up Scooter)的一种,但它是单轴双轮设计,与双轴双轮的传统滑板车有些不同。而在某些比较正式的场合(例如官方的道路法规)中,Segway这种交通工具又被称作「电动个人辅助机动装置」(Electric Personal Assistive Mobility Device, EPAMD),俗称电动代步车。 产品名称「Segway」起源於英文单字「Segue」,意指「流畅平顺地走」,用来形容这种交通工具可以让人们骑著在都市里面毫无障碍地移动。 以上是来自wikipedia的简单说明
拥有Segway的人们正享受着一种新的游戏锻炼方式
买了就要用 于是这位辣妈逛街也不忘了带baby体验有了segway的生活
在去年法兰克福车展上 Opel公司展示出的 Flextreme飞灵系列概念车身上 也特别预留了给Segway的位置
2001年上市 在google和youtube上看到许多使用者的自拍图片录像 我却几乎从没在伦敦马路上见到过 为什么?
《ZEITGEIST, The Movie》强烈推荐一部纪录片 给所有对宗教历史经济和政治感兴趣的人
影片本身其实和设计实践几乎没有任何联系可言
但影片中体现并巧妙的联系了起 一部分出现在我博客中Contextual study Reading List 书籍里各位作者观点相似的看法 让我感到很兴奋
无意中 也想起曾经和colourphilosophy的一段关于学校理论教学方法的对话
在国内很多理论是由老师总结归纳后进行教授的这种教学方法的效率 要远远高于我们这里靠自己阅读各学经典科著作学习理论的方法
是的 我完全同意这个结论 也曾向往这样的学习方式 但后来 却感到冥冥之中有一股力量吸引着我 向着通过亲力亲为的方式前进
或许吧 如同众人在世界的各个角落高高举起地抗议BBC / CNN等西方媒体不公报道的的标语 那个永远都不存在的客观真相就是吸引我前进的方向
media ≠ truth , come to visit tibet and find out the truth by yourself !
ZEITGEIST - 时代精神 一部长约两小时的纪录片,在网上得到超过一百万次收看,成为全球最新注意焦点。 这部片名为《ZEITGEIST, The Movie》,它是严肃、具思想性和争议性的纪录片,分成三部分: 一、讲基督教与拜日教的关係,有钱人如何利用基督教控制大眾。 很明显,三个题目都非常具争议性。
影片官网 http://zeitgeistmovie.com/main.htm 感谢中文字幕小组的制作 全世界最好的设计学院排名实在出乎我的意料 在去年年底<<商业周刊>>给出全球最佳的60所设计院校排名中
中央圣马丁如同夹心饼干一样在美国设计院校的前拥后簇下夹在了第七名 并居然成为了唯一的一所进入前十的欧洲学院
(更正, 没有所谓的排名先后顺序一说 此列表只是按照A-Z的字母顺序罗列而已 :)
设计名门的光环 对于绝大多数的申请者来说都是一种无法回避致命的吸引力 人们为它着迷 每一个录取者都会在得到offer的那一瞬间感觉无比兴奋
但当你真正踏入学校以后 便会发现这样一个事实 一直以来有关"圣马丁的光环究竟能为其毕业生在就业的竞争赢得多少机会"的争论在学生中从来都没有停止过
这是只有身为在读学生的人才有的讨论权利 因为只有亲自体验了 才真正拥有批评或赞美它的资格 才更容易开始从理性的角度去审视思考我们自己的处境
anyway 最有资格评价名门光环影响力的 是已经进入Industry工作的毕业生和他们的雇佣者们
所以这份由Business week进行的基于访问业内人士的调查 或许能够说明一些问题吧
可以点每个学院的名字查看具体介绍 但需要说明的是 根据介绍中列举的Top Employ内容一项分析 我个人认为这个排名主要是针对工业及产品设计方向的
另外一点想借此机会分享给各位学设计并计划需要出国的人 如果你真心热爱设计 那么学校排名和名望永远都只能做为你的参考 它不该成为你选择学校的唯一理由
D-Schools: The Global List
Innovation is a tough thing to measure. To compile this list, BusinessWeek turned to an international panel of 22 expert design and brand consultants and academics from both business and design schools. We also tapped six forward-thinking companies with expertise in design or innovation strategy. We asked all to recommend interdisciplinary design and business programs with curricula they respect and graduates they prefer to hire. Then we conducted interviews with professors, students, and alumni from the recommended colleges, looking for design programs that incorporate business strategy—and business programs that teach design as a tool for strategic advantage. Here's a sortable list of the 60 schools that made the grade.
The Best Design Schools in the WorldTake a look at all 60 schools featured on this year's list
NOTE: * New to our list this year
消息来源: http://images.businessweek.com/ss/07/10/1005_dschools/source/1.htm 写在第二学期的最后一天已经连续两天发生因为白天在学校workshop太累所以回到家吃完饭就直接睡着了的状况
看来几天前加入豆瓣上的那个设计导致过劳死的小组 我还是挺有先见之明的
来写下最近在脑海里发生的各种意识吧 顺便拟定我的下一步计划
什么时候复活节的假期变成四周这么长了?
《Design for the real world》真是本好书
因为写essay的关系 不停地看呀看了一些书 这本算是最多的
明明只读了序和第1.4.5.9章 却有种自己差不多要把整本书都复印下来的感觉
恩 我该继续以5p/张的价格复印剩下的那些还是应该掏几个胖子在amazon买一本自己的呢?
看了Papenak Victor的书 感受到了身为一个设计者所应当肩负责任的沉重
20多年前 他提出的六个没有得到足够关注的设计方面 分别是
Design for The third world
Design for teaching and training device for the Retarded, the Handicapped,and the Disabled ...
Design for Medicine, Surgery, Dentistry, and Hospital Equipment ....
Design for Experimental Research
Sysytems Sesign for Sustaining human life under marginal condition
Design for Breakthought concept
更加让我感同身受的的是下面这段话
The lesson of this book, to design for people's Needs rather than their Wants, can be applied to clothing design as well.Fashion design is much like automotive styling in Detroit: applying Band-Aids to cancerous sores ............ But there are genunie needs here as well: the design of colthes for handicapped children and adults makeing it possible for them to dress or undress themselves — resulting in greater pride and self-confidence. Most fashion is designed for people who are seventeen years ofld or, more disastrously, their middle-aged brothers or sisters fancying themselves as teenagers. Little or no colthing is designed for elderly, the obese, people who are unusually short or very tall.
稍候会具体写下我对此的想法
慢慢接触 才发现Afrodite真是个好老师 没有一直以来学生们传说的那样严厉到恐怖
我们的Technician Melweny是个面目和善有耐心的大伯 这次的Torch project 他给予我很多制作上的指导
所以我决定今天早晨去买一杯他最爱的有chocolate topping的cappuccino去感谢老人家
最好的世界是我们进不去的世界 100多年前普鲁斯特说过的话 最近却常莫名其妙地出现在我去往伦敦的火车上
介于Branding在未来的学习中会成为其中一个很重要的部分 所以现在开始积累和了解各种商业品牌公司的背景资料吧
假期没有出行计划 想找份给charity服务的工作做看看 没有工资不重要
重要的是无论积累到是什么样的工作经验 总比一天到晚窝在家里不务正业的好 呵呵
假期要读书 至少应该读完《toward to psychology of being》和《design of everyday things》两本吧 有时间可以研究下branding和postmodernism
假期要画画 大小100镑的书和工具钱都花了 要赶紧趁这个时候弥补我的弱项 30页起好了 不要饿了才吃困了才睡 2008年的新年愿望到目前为止还没能实现 还要继续努力
