  • Raincatch on Vimeo (Shades of Dune) – The Raincatch is a proposal for a garment which is at once a coat and water gathering, purification, storage system that allows the wearer to take a drink whenever they're thirsty. We worked with existing raincoats to reinforce the realism of the project but altered the look and feel of the coat enough that it has a distinct look and feel of
    it's own. The collar of the coat collects rain, which is then filtered down the back of the coat where it would be filtered through charcoal filters and then purified using a chemical process. The water is then stored around the hips of the coat where the weight can be ergonomically carried by the wearer without strain. The aesthetics of the coat and simple but elegant, showing the water and the internal workings of the coat, but hiding the water storage and maintaing a clean form factor.

Crimson Clown

for Whitechapel’s Remake/Remodel.

The Crimson Clown is Delton Prouse, a wealthy young bachelor, able veteran of The Great War, explorer, and all around adventurer who functions as a modern Robin Hood, stealing from the unjustly rich and returning money to helpless victims or worthy organizations. He dresses in a mostly white clown suit and uses a tear gas pistol (later this became a “gas gun”).

  • 45 Mile Wi-Fi Range is Now Possible with Lower Power Consumption | CleanTechnica – Imagine connecting wirelessly and cheaply to someone 45 miles away without using the internet? And how about while using less energy? You could also eliminate all of the network cables in the largest buildings cheaply and efficiently. The transmitter in the image at the top of this page can reportedly do all of that.
