SoundBulb: light bulb and a speaker

Soundbulb


A new multi-functional device called Soundbulb, lightbulb that has an 8 ohm speaker inside. These Soundbulbs also have a Bluetooth receiver that allows for wireless streaming of audio from a computer or cellular phone. There is an on/off switch on the outside that helps to ping to a Bluetooth or Wi-Fi device.






You control the volume by twisting the bulb's outer ring, and the on/off switch for the wireless receiver is on the side . The speakers get power from the socket. Bluetooth wireless tech gives them the ability to stream audio from most computers or cellphones, without wires.It's just a concept till now.

A Map that is also a Light



This device, which is simply called The Light, is an ordinary map that, when rolled up like a kid’s pretend telescope, will become a flashlight.

How does something like this work? First, the map is not an ordinary map, but two sheets of paper. On one of these sheets is the actual printed map itself, while the other is a cover sheet with two electrodes.

Second, simply roll up the map so the two electrodes meet, and this union turns the built-in LEDs on. This device is powered by a thin battery that fits in between the two sheets.
