Japanese Crazy Inventions (Part 1)

These are the Japanese crazy inventions that probably won't be used by anyone except the inventors themselves.

1. Ever-Ready Tissues

Lamborghini Ferruccio

      It's designed by Mark Hostler, a transportation design student at Staffordshire university. It blends elements of design language from many different era’s of Lamborghini. The steeply raked front screen and bonnet were inspired by the shape of the Countach, as was the super-wide rear end. The rounded shapes of the front and rear wings were inspired by the sleek, rounded, feminine lines of the Miura. Finally, the sharp nose and mirrors, and aggressive air intakes across the body and roof take their inspiration from Lamborghini’s current “stealth fighter” design language.

Besides that, it also uses far less water than even hand washing.

Self Charging Mobile Phone

      Self Charging Mobile Phone sounds fantastic to me. This new technology is developed by UCLA Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science researches. UCLA Engineering team has invented a polarizing organic photovoltaic for LCD screen that can boost the LCD's function to work as a polarizer, photocoltaic device and ambient light / sunlight photovoltaic panel. The LCD screens that built-in with photovoltaic polarizers will allow the electronic devices to convert ambient light, sunlight and their own backlight into electricity to charge the battery. This is how the energy recycles. Professor Yang says that this would be the future for technology not only for mobile phones but also for other electronic devices too.
