Mousetrap Coffee Table
This gadget gives a whole new meaning to the idea of leaving a trail of crumbs behind. The coffee table is equipped with a hollow leg for a mouse to scamper up and in the center of the table lies a fuel cell. The mouse is pushed towards the center until…well, you know. It gets incinerated in a microbial fuel cell and then the machine uses the resulting energy to power itself. This is just your typical heartwarming tale of pest removal.
Likelihood of being built: 2/10.
Most people don’t want to think about fuel-cells in their houses being powered by furry creatures, even if those creatures are pests. But I do like the concept gadgets for fly-removal from the same designersnow there’s a zap I wouldn’t mind celebrating.

Finally, the energy saving butt plug I was waiting for. Oh wait, bug plug?
they can put anti-dust coating and vibration to the blight for self cleaning ala dslr. a self-cleaning solar blinds, whoa what more could you ask for?
This word you keep using, I do not think it means what you think it means...
The solar blinds are pretty sweet.
very nice post and this blog is very luxury.........
"but how about using something other than bamboo once in a while? How about some domestically-grown, renewable soft wood?"
Bamboo is extremely durable and resistant to bacteria and disease, resists chipping and facturing from light, heat, and moisture stress.
Softwoods are structurally terrible for most things. It is highly unlikely you will ever see them used in this manner.
Solar Blind - The cost of manufacture and maintain (cleaning) such complex device will outweight the benefit (electricity it generates). It is better to put the solar on the roof.
wow, i just heard about a fabric which supposedly does the same thing as the solar storage sheets. it was at the nano-tech show at the local uni.
