"What is that goofy clear mechanism that morphs? A spring?What moves like that?"

"If the Volta is "rechargeable" with vinegar & salt, or any non-toxic chemical process, then it should be "recharged" onsite, not a return/replace program. What's the capacity on such a cell, and why is this not a kit to assemble at home?House 4 House, good spirit but greenwashed a bit? Slacktavist promise feels deceptive too."

""six super strong magnets"I was wrong. Stronger connection, but higher unit cost and complexity."

"Since the tire splits into 6 disconnected segments, I assume this is a solid rubber tire, as opposed to a traditional inflated tire. That's gotta make the ride incredibly hard and shaky in both of those demoed use cases. Similarly, in both cases the wheels are hardly the main issue to storing the parent device, and they didn't even feature a folding bike alongside the folding wheelchair!Riding a folding bike and getting to park it at or under my desk is amazing, never having to worry about "Is my bike gonna get stolen" or "is there an empty slot on the bus bike rack". But dealing with the "bulk" of the wheels is the last of my concerns.Conserving space might be interesting for cyclists who would want to carry a spare, but given the solid rubber tire, I think it's more trouble than it's worth. I wonder how much an airless tire like Michelin could be adapted to this, or if segmenting the outer tread ruins that synergy. "

"How does it attach to the wall "without any tools"?How is safety addressed with children who like to climb or pull on cabinets or bookcases? How is it anchored to the wall or in a stack?How much weight can these support? How large of a TV can I set on it, when stacked on the floor or hung on a wall?"

"I'm pretty sure I've seen that hinge in bandsaw tables. I think they call it a trunnion."

"I stopped buying New balance after my third pair wore out about as fast as yours have. Since then, I've bought three pairs from Chrome Industries after learning about their "Army Boot" toughness. I've only cycled three pairs because A) the first was white and got dirty fast (and I'm lazy) B) the second pair was felt, more dressy and C) leather sneaker for daily wear with a little more class than NB or Converse.What I've noticed is that none of my three pairs in 4 years have any issue with the soles delaminating or peeling from the body of the shoe like all the carbon fiber plated multi-foam molded standards of the 2-400$ shoe range.I will say that I've recycled my upgraded New Balance in-soles into other shoes, but that's just a nice thing even if you're used to Chucks.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvu8PGKFdq8"

"Nuni toaster, more like "N-uni-Tasker"...But this looks like a recipe for one lucky dog scoring big when the hot contents go spilling out across the counter.Also, look at the counter space this thing demands compared to say, any of the traditional methods of warming: pan, microwave, griddle plate (also all multi-taskers). "

"Michelin has had something similar for a while now. Interesting to consider the usefulness of a tire that remains working after an explosion. Forget about nails and glass ruining a tire!"

"Comparing your product to LEGO seems a bad idea initially, because LEGO bricks are produced in a single injection mold using only ABS plastic.Having multiple parts in your production means there are that many more ways for the design to need tweaks and corrections.Also, this feels rather misleading, as the designers talk to the camera as animated voxel models. This seems disingenuous, as the models produced from these sets will likely have a weakness in one or two axis of connection, as the magnets will have to be fairly simple in order to keep down cost. This is more likely a desk toy to be put on display, not for active play."

"I agree with the heat treatment comments. Also appears to include some "halftone" like effects to achieve additional colors and shades. Interesting to consider that while this process appears to produce color, it's more like grey-scale in that it contains only one dimension of information at any point (thickness of oxide layer from heat treatment). Another video of the same process shows the laser passing twice over a "green" patch (which may be more telling of the process than anything else)."
