LucidBRAKE – a motion-sensing BRAKE light for bikes

lucidbrake

LucidBRAKE –  A highly intelligent, patent-pending bike BRAKE light to help make your world a safer place. Eight ultra-bright LEDs provide multiple-mode awareness along the road, while wirelessly and brilliantly signalling stopping motion to help them keep you out of their accidents! No installation, no wiring, no On/Off switch, no fuss, no worry. Simply press to attach to your bike, helmet, or backpack, then ride.

LucidBRAKE is one of the featured exhibitors at the DaVinci Inventor Showcase. The Inventor Showcase will take place October 10-11, 2015 at the NoCo Maker Faire. You will have a chance to take a look at the LucidBRAKE and many other amazing inventions.

Dutch designer plans to 3-D print a steel bridge in mid-air

Dutch designer Joris Laarman will build a bridge in 2017 by wheeling a robot to the brink of a canal in Amsterdam. He will push an “on” button and then walk away. When he returns in two months, the Netherlands will have a new, one-of-a-kind bridge, 3-D printed in a steel arc over the waters. This isn’t some proof-of-concept, either: when it’s done, it will be as strong and as any other bridge. People will be able to walk back and forth over it for decades.
