young innovation contest

Written by: Thianh Lu on August 10th, 2009

I was recently browsing thru the entries for the James Dyson Awards and came across some neat new concepts that I wanted to share.   If you are unfamiliar with the award, it is a contest to uncover the best new product design, industrial design and engineering university level students all over the world.

Shrinking Milk Jug – I have actually seen this one on a few other blogs as well.  The idea is the milk jug collapses in size as you drink more milk leaving less air trapped inside.  As a result, less air means less milk spoilage…great concept for the US and under-developed countries.

Steady Grip -  This was a funny one that really makes sense.  It is meant to replace cheap flimsy shopping baskets that you find at all grocery stores.  The design of the basket helps distribute the weight of the basket so it is easier to hold and it doesn’t hit your legs with each stride.

Refridgerator – This neat fridge uses a transparent door and holds food in many different sections to minimize the about of opening and closing (and your utility bill)
