crossconnectmag:

Best known for his beguiling oil paintings, Peter van Straten nonetheless returns again and again, with gratitude, to the inexpressible elegance of drawing – a craft he adores for the purity and simplicity of expression it allows.

He investigates a new theme with every painting he makes, but whether drawing or painting, his work is always anchored in a passionate love of the natural world, and an endless fascination with light – physical or metaphysical.

He lives in Cape Town and at 38 is a veteran of 17 Solo exhibitions.

Ecotranzit : Futuristic Autonomous Urban Shipping Robot

In collaboration with Martin Rico, Charles Bombardier has translated his vision into cool rendered images. Ecotranzit is a project of an autonomous urban shipping robot that works together with shipping truck operators to deliver packages. This little robot moves on existing streets, sidewalks or bike paths, depending on the algorithm setup for certain areas.

This robot has been designed as a solution to reduce shipping trucks or courier vehicles in our cities, they take up a fair percentage of the roads, not to mention that they are noisy and pollute our atmosphere with their diesel engines. Ecotranzit offers advanced robotics with artificial intelligence for eco-friendly solution to reduce footprint of those trucks in our streets.

Ecotranzit is a hybrid transportation, powered by a hydrogen fuel cell or a battery pack that can provide 10,000 watt to its 4 wheels. There’s fuel cell located at the bottom of this robot or you can make it run using propane gas. The cargo space can be used to carry the item, the rolling carpet is embedded at the bottom of that space in order to deliver the item at the same height of a regular sidewalks. This robot transportation can carry payload up to 110kg or 250 lb. It seems that we are heading toward the future where robots deliver our groceries or any other items, we’ve seen several concepts about that now.

Evoke Smart Vaporizer Powered by Induction With Swappable Core System

Honestly, looking at Evoke for the first time, we though this was the modern version of classic tobacco pipe. The company claims that this product is the first of its kind, Evoke is a handheld smart vaporizer that uses induction to vape, you can choose to us eLiquid, concentrates, or dry herb for the induction core. It has an onboard microprocessor that communicates with your smartphone through Bluetooth connection so that you can easily customize any settings and monitor the battery life.

Evoke uses induction heating, it’s a method to create heat through magnetic fields. It works by passing alternating current through a copper oil to create a magnetic field. This magnetic field is then used to heat a special metal wick that vaporizes material, it’s a durable and practical method, isn’t it?
