Chair

Screw it, against my better judgement I am posting the teaser. The patent's pending anyway. A cool chair concept I thought up while seconds away from falling asleep. This is getting rather annoying. I would prefer inspiration to hit while fully conscious. This was originally supposed to be a rocking chair. I think that will come next. Seriously, I am putting next to no effort into this post, its 25 degrees and sunny out.

O yeah, plastic with curved ply wood (birch) inside. Enjoy.

SQUEEGiT Promo

Hello again fans. I have been extremely busy working on SQUEEGiT related branding as a promotional item. It looks like there are serveral companies now that have made some generous orders to use it for trade shows, giveaways and things of that nature. During this period I have been also working on some other designs including a chair, speakers and other top secret ideas. You have to realize of course that I am using this blog as an online sketch book. Aside from my portfolio I will not be posting projects in their entirety. Also I am still debating on whether or not certain projects I think are actually sell-able will be posted.

But anyway here is a preview of what the squeegit could look like with your logo on it.
Interested? www.cleanergear.com I am pretty sure custom logo orders have to be over 500 units.

Also take a look at this video, but don't blink!

Bike Concept

Hello dedicated followers and accidental finders. I have spent about a day and a half sketching up my latest idea. It is a Fixed gear with a hand clutch. Essentially it would allow you to cost when you engage the clutch (located as a twist mechanism on the left handle.) Dont ask me why this is needed, or beneficial, I just thought it would be interesting. As you release the clutch, the front gear would slowly engage, this could be used as a primitive and somewhat inconvenient brake system. I have come up with (what I think) is a unique way of doing this. I hate the word basically because it is over used, however, basically, the front gear acts as a fly wheel. When the clutch is engaged, it pulls the gear inward, leaving the pedals free to spin on their own. In fixed gear mode, the front gear would press back against the pedal arms, forcing the pedals to turn the pulley resulting in forward momentum! There would need to be some sort of spring mechanism inside the bike that is strong enough to force the front gear to say pressed up against the pedal arms. So if you didn't understand any of that, you aren't alone. I will attach a picture.
the second interesting this with this bike concept, is the adjustable seat and front forks. If you notice the little holes, the front mount/seat will be able to slide along and re attach itself in those positions. This would result in changing: the seat height, the overall bike length and the distance from the rider to the handle bars.
As you can clearly see it is far from complete. I wanted to post my progress. Might put the final renderings in my portfolio. And if none of this made any sense what so ever, it is because I wasn't able to provide hand gestures while explaining it... probably
