HiHiHi!!! I'm here to introduce a 360 Degrees Mirror.

You all should know what I'm going to introduce by knowing the name. Let me show you a picture to know what does this 360 Degrees Mirror look like...

The Picture!!! =]

In the center, you have an illuminated mirror, and its sides have six panels. You can stretch them around your head, and see what is on your back there, which give you a full 360-degree view.

Here to introduce a Hot Cold Mug!!

Let me show you a picture of it!
You may have already guess what am I going to introduce.

At first, it is just a standard black mug and in big white letters which say COLD. Nothing special, but once you add a hot beverage, the mug changes color and is turning white and in big black letters it says: HOT

HiHi!! Came to post about a product in this week!

It is "LEGO"!!Will you really believe it is LEGO without the headset?

Altough this product does not have a screen etc, but it looks like a LEGO!

There are volume, pause, play, forward and backward controls as well as an on/off button designed on the nubs in colours of blue, red, yellow, green and white available.

Also, there are other LEGOs!

For those who already have their iPod, there is a Lego like stereo dock which has stereo speakers, all applicable buttons and a variety of colours.
OR

A mini-stereodock speakers

It is just an another design with volume control which is the raised dot on the surface of 2 blocks (Up and Down). It also has a loud and clear active bass system.


My comments: it seems quite cool for a mp3 to be designed on a LEGO, not only that, there are also speakers in the design of LEGO too! COOL...

Here are some examples of mechanical toys!


Flower Window

The flowers are spaced out around the window frame and work like interlocking gear wheels. As the crank is turned each flower makes the one next to it turn (rotary motion). The flowers all turn at the same speed because they each have the same number of petals (gear teeth).

Turn the crank and the monkey's body move in a circle (rotary motion).

The Gardener

The gardener bends forward to water the flower when the input crank is turned (rotary motion). The movement of the flower is controlled by a cam which is also connected to the crank through a shaft.

Footballer

Turn the crank (rotary motion) and the footballer kicks the ball (oscillating motion).



Turn the crank and a circular cam makes the dog’s jaw go up and down.



This model has three bees attached to a platform that rotates freely round a central pole. As the bees are rotated, the platform is forced to rise as the red strings twist and tighten themselves around the pole.
The bees are then released and the weight of the platform then makes the strings unwind, lowering the platform and starting the process all over again.

What is a mechanism?

Mechanisms are actually devices that are designed to make jobs easier. Mechanisms have certain common things which are:

  • involve some kind of motion
  • involve some kind of force
  • must have some kind of input to make them work
  • produce some kind of output

If we connect mechanisms together, we can build machines.
