The product is marketed by snaps of businessmen in suits and air helmets, with adverts boasting that you can see people’s facial expressions through the protective bubble – unlike with face masks. But the helmet – which includes a ventilation system and filters – split opinion on social media, and some people couldn’t get their head around the concept.

Free Best Shopping For Dress Carts Shop | Full Discount 2011

Spanish and Portuguese shoppers arrive at Desigual outlets in their underwear... to be clothed for free It’s not the sort of winter sale you would expect to happen in England.

But for theses Spanish and Portuguese shoppers the chilly weather was not so much of a factor.

They braved the mild New Year temperatures to cash in as clothing company Desigual promised: ‘Come in undressed and go out dressed.'

he wacky idea from the company, who was started by a Swiss in 1984 but has its headquarters in Barcelona, seems to have been a hit for those in the mood for a cheeky deal.

But there was a hitch: only the first 100 punters who arrived at selected branches were given the free stash.

At the Madrid store alone some 200 people queued outside ready to strip down to their underwear to take advantage of the shop's winter sale offer.

With the Spanish capital starting the winter sales five days before the traditional January 7 date, shoppers had to show their flesh in exchange for two free items of clothing - a top and bottom piece.

Pedro Soares and Ivan Silva claimed that they were the first to arrive at the Lisbon store at 1am in the early hours of Sunday morning, waiting eight hours until the doors opened and they were entitled to take home an outfit of their choice, gratis.

‘I have a woolly jumper and a pair of trousers, which would have cost €250 (£210),’ 20-year-old Mr Soares told Lusa News Agency.

‘I really like this brand and like this I can take the clothes without paying for them.’

Mr Silva said: ‘It was fun. We were the first to arrive and more people came during the night. When they opened the doors there was such a rush with people falling over each other to get the best clothes.’

Friends Jenny and Lisa from New Zealand had been waiting since before midnight outside the Madrid store and said it was a great opportunity to meet new amigos.

‘We have been here since 11pm with my friends,’ Jenny said. ‘New friends that we made here!’

Erica, from Brazil, earned her number one spot by waiting from 3pm the previous day and was happy with her choice, although she intended to buy more, in addition to the two free items.

‘I am number one and I have gotten a coat and trousers, but I am still picking things, there is a lot left to get though,’ she said.

Desigual were delighted with the interest the stunt gained for the brand – and rather than leaving those who did not make the top 100 shivering in next to nothing, they provided them with half-price discounts.

Public Relations officer Beatriz Almeida said that the initiative was aimed at marking the official start of the sales.

‘It went well,’ she said. ‘The brand aims to be original so we wanted this action to be different.’

Though the company has a store on Regent Street, according to the website there are no plans to offer a similar deal for London-based shoppers.

French Aristocrats Debut 'Luxury' Condoms

There's certainly a market for luxury cars and luxury condos. But what about luxury condoms?

A pair of self-described French aristocrats have launched a high-end condom company that aims to offer customers protection -- as well as an air of prestige.

The minds behind The Original Condom Co. say there is a demand for classier prophylactics in the same way there is a demand for luxury brands like Rolls Royce, Cartier and Dior.

"There [is] always a need for quality, good taste and beautiful objects," said vice president Count Gil de Bizemont, who co-founded the company with His Royal Highness the Prince Charles Emmanuel de Bourbon Parme after passing through the town of Condom, France.

"It is sexy to care about yourself and to want to pamper and provide yourself with the very best."

For de Bizemont, that means choosing neatly packaged prophylactics that come in a little black box instead of an ordinary foil wrapper.

"Would you be proud to have a traditional condom on your table when your mom visits you? With a nude woman on the box or something that says lubed or ribbed all over it?" he asked.

According to de Bizemont, many people judge a rubber by its cover.

"The luxurious presentation of our product removes any negative stigma associated with a woman who cares enough about herself to be sure to carry along an Original Condom box in her purse, or for a male to leave it on the nightstand without perceptions shifting about expectations, as they definitely should not nowadays," he explained.

De Bizemont says his company's condoms are far more upscale than the competition -- and it shows in the price tag.

The Original Condom comes in suede-lined black boxes purportedly "inspired by the world of jewelery," which contain three prophylactics for $13.50, or six for $20. Customers can buy refills for $2 apiece.

The company says it shares part of its earnings with nonprofits that fight HIV and AIDS, and shows its commitment to an eco-friendly business model by helping develop new forests and manufacturing its condoms on a rubber-tree plantation in an attempt to reduce carbon emissions by eliminating excess transport of raw materials.

The fancy condoms are already on sale online. In January, they'll be offered at some "higher-end retailers" and hotels, according to de Bizemont.

It appears there's nothing stopping the condom brand from growing -- if, in fact, sex does sell.

Automatic Cake Decorator

Mischer'traxler's automatic cake decorator uses a rotating platform to draw a flowery, spirograph-like design on its cakes. As a final touch, the mechanical arm drops sugar-pearls across the cake's surface.

The automatic cake decorator is part of an exhibit entitled "til you stop - how much is enough." You determine how decorated the cake gets by telling the machine when to stop. More icing please! (as long as it's of the cream cheese variety)

Electric Bike Runs on Water

SiGNa’s fuel-cell powered electric bike will run for 60 miles on a single charge. More impressive is that it runs on water.

The bike itself is really just a showcase for the fuel-cell tech from the energy company. The cells uses sodium silicide in the form of a sand-like powder. Add this to water and it “instantly creates hydrogen gas.” This hydrogen is then used to generate electricity. Because no hydrogen is stored, the cells are safe, and excess electricity is stored in batteries for an extra boost when you get to a hill. The cartridges are hot-swappable and are fully recyclable.

The main advantage (apart from the safety aspect) is that you can just swap-in a new cartridge when you need it, instead of having to stop to recharge (the units weigh around 1.5-pounds each, less than most batteries). You also get better range: a battery-powered bike typically gets 20 to 30-miles on a charge. The downside is infrastructure: you can find a power-outlet pretty much anywhere in the world. Try finding a compatible fuel-cell in a backwater general-store.

The current units can be designed to put out anything from 1-Watt to 1-Kilowatt. Their futire is probably not in electric bikes but in bigger transportation. Imagine driving your car into the gas-station, popping the hood and swapping in a fuel-cell, just Like Doc Brown drops a tube of plutonium into his time-traveling DeLorean.

Pre-orders for the cells cartridges are being taken by SiGNa. For a bike, you’ll probably have a long wait [UPDATE: The bikes will be available next summer]

3D TV Without Glasses Unveiled

The world's first 3D Without Glasses television that doesn't require glasses has hit the market.

Toshiba unveiled the high-definition liquid crystal display 3D television that does not require the special glasses - one of the biggest consumer complaints about the technology.

The Tokyo-based company hopes this could be the breakthrough that brings 3D TV to the masses.

Glassess-less 3D: The Regza GL1 Series TV which combines image processing technology with a double convex sheet to render depth-filled images from any angle using parallax

Toshiba describes the TVs as being for 'personal use'.

Whether consumers embrace the new TVs remains to be seen. Many might be put off by the fact that they'll have to be very close to the screen for the 3D effect to really work - not to mention the steep price tag.

Electronics and entertainment companies around the world are banking on 3D to fuel a new boom in TV, movies and games.

Most 3D TVs on the market today rely on glasses to deliver separate images to each eye, which creates a sense of three-dimensional depth.

In its new TVs, Toshiba uses a 'perpendicular lenticular sheet,' which consists of an array of small lenses that direct light from the display to nine points in front of the TV. If a viewer is sitting within the optimal viewing zone, the brain integrates these points into a single 3D image.

Small: Masaaki Osumi of Toshiba with the 12-inch 3D TV and the 20-inch

'The result is a precise rendering of high-quality 3D images whatever the viewing angle within the viewing zone,' Toshiba said.

The system is similar to what's used in Nintendo's 3DS, the company's highly anticipated hand-held device that features glasses-free 3D gaming.

Toshiba will offer two sizes - 12 inches and 20 inches. The technology is not advanced enough yet to integrate into larger screens. Suggested viewing distance for the 20-inch model is 90 centimetres (35.4 inches) and 65 centimetres (25.6 inches) for the 12-inch size.

The TVs will go on sale in Japan in late December, Toshiba said. The smaller version will cost about 120,000 yen (£912), and the larger one will be double the price.

The company did not release details on overseas availability.

Rev7 : Non Stick Chewing Gum

A non-stick chewing gum that dissolves within 24 hours went on sale yesterday.

Rev7, which has been formulated by British scientists, has the same taste and texture as normal gum, but is water soluble.

It can be removed easily from clothes using soap and water and tests show it can largely be cleared up by conventional street cleaning.

Any gum washed into the drains will break down into minerals and biodegradable materials.

The development could help cut the £150million annual chemicals bill to remove the sticky substance from the nation’s streets.

Professor Terry Cosgrove, who led the research at Bristol University, said the gum contained a special polymer which made it far less sticky.

‘The motivation to invent the product came from seeing chewing gum on the streets in this country and in America. It’s everywhere,’ he said. ‘The materials developed can be used for lots of other uses such as anti-graffiti paint and bacterial protection.

‘But because chewing gum is such an enormous problem at the moment we decided to target this as our main area.

‘This is like a dream come true for me, seeing academic research result in a real commercial product.

‘There are also several other exciting ventures in the pipeline.’

Revolymer, a company set up by Bristol University, used a £10million grant from investors to launch the product, which has now gone on sale in the United States.

Available in spearmint and peppermint flavours, it should go on sale here in 2011.

Normal chewing gum is made from synthetic latex, which is resistant to the weather and strongly adhesive

Bra Life Saving Face Mask

Lingerie Disguises : The bra that can be converted into a life-saving face mask An 'emergency bra' has been created by a Ukrainian scientist that can be turned into a face mask to protect against lethal chemical attacks or biological hazards.

The uplifting garment can be worn as intended then easily removed, separated into two and converted into two face masks that filters out harmful airborne substances - one for the wearer, and for a needy by-stander - or onlooker.

According to the inventor, Ukranian scientist Dr Elena Bodnar, it doesn't matter what your cup size is either as the masks are fully-adjustable to give the same level of protection.

Bosom buddy: Dr Elena Bodnar demonstrates her Emergency Bra at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts Litt and separate: Dr. Elena watches as a volunteer demonstrates dividing the two cups in the first stage of mask making

The Associated Press reports that Dr Bodnarm, who's now based in Chicago, initially got her idea after the 1986 Chernobyl nuclear disaster.

She explained: 'If people had had cheap, readily available gas masks in the first hours after the disaster...they may have avoided breathing in Iodine-131, which causes radiation sickness.'

She also claims the brassiere could be useful in the event of biological terrorist attacks.

Explaining how the garment works, she expanded:'To use the bra-mask, the wearer unsnaps the brassiere from under her shirt, which breaks it in two.

'Because each cup has hooks on its side, the strap is wrapped around the head and hooked to the cup, which goes over the mouth.'

Apparently, with practice, the bra can be whipped off and the mask effectively put on in seconds.

She added that bra-mask could be also be used during such disasters as fires, dust storms or a swine flu outbreak.

She said: 'You have to be prepared all the time, at any place, at any moment, and practically every woman wears a bra.'

There might be a 'counterpart device for men', Bodnar added, although it was not clear in what shape or form it would take.

Bra-vellous: The life-saving brassiere is now onsale to well-prepared lingerie fans Red alert: Break bras in case of emergency

The invention was first acknowledged at the 2009 Ig Nobel Prize awards, a spoof of the actual Nobel Prize, which acknowldge 10 scientific achievements that 'first make people laugh, and then make them think'.

It's organized by the U.S. scientific humour magazine Annals of Improbable Research and judged by actual Nobel laureates.

In her Ig acceptance speech, she joked: 'It takes only 25 seconds for average woman [sic] to use this personal protective device. Five seconds to remove, convert and apply your own mask, and 20 seconds to wonder who the lucky man is she is going to save.'

However, it only launched earlier this week after a year firming up 'safety engineering, economical design, and aesthetics'.

Dr Bodnar unveiled her life-saving lingerie at the MIT Museum in Cambridge, Massachusetts, on Monday.

Spray T-Shirt

Spray T-Shirt Designing - Make Own shirts Designs, Quotes Or Text you spray on Clothes that fit like a second skin ideas, try instant fabric Rummaging in a drawer, grabbing a T- shirts and slipping it over your head would certainly be simpler. But some of us are willing to put a little more effort into our wardrobes.

The result? A shirt that fits so snugly it looks as if it has been sprayed on to the body. Actually, it has.

Thanks to a liquid mixture made of cotton fibres we could soon be spraying ourselves into everything from T-shirts, dresses, trousers to swim-wear and hats.

Fabrican - literally fabric in an aerosol can - is the brainchild of Spanish designer Dr Manel Torres who has spent ten years working on his invention.

In a video demonstrating how it works, he sprays a blue and white T-shirt on to a model in just under 15 minutes.

Drying as soon as it hits his skin, the garment can be taken off, washed and re-worn.

Dr Torres teamed up with Paul Luckham, Professor of Particle Technology at Imperial College London, to create Fabrican, which consists of cotton fibres, polymers (the plastics which hold them together) and solvents which keep it in liquid form.

When you get bored with your creation it can be dissolved and the material used again to make something new or repair old designs.

Dr Torres said the idea was to be able to create clothes instantly and cheaply, all of which would be a perfect fit.

'I really wanted to make a futuristic, seamless, quick and comfortable material,' he said.

'To show science and technology can help fashion designers, I ended up returning to the principles of the earliest textiles such as felt, which were also produced by taking fibres and finding a way of binding them together without having to weave or stitch.'

Fabrican is still a couple of years from hitting the shelves.

Dr Torres is working on ways to create more forgiving shapes as not everyone likes their clothes clinging to every curve. He is also trying to minimise the distinct whiff of solvent about the garments.

And although some spray-on designs will be on show at London Fashion Week, the instant fabric could end up being used for everything from bandages to furniture upholstery.

White Diamond

A 196-carat white diamond recovered from the Letseng mine in Lesotho. Price Offers for the stone, sold as a rough diamond, could come in at between $7.8 million and $11.8 million (up to £7.7 million), Alison Turner, a London-based analyst at Panmure

If diamonds are a girl’s best friend, then most women’s eyes will be sparkling at the prospect of this latest find.

Stretching a dazzling 3cms in width, this 196-carat rough white stone will fetch a ‘substantial’ price when it is sold by Gem Diamonds.

The magnificent rock was found at the company’s mine in Lesotho, a small kingdom in South Africa, and is expected to produce top colour and clarity polished diamonds.

This remarkable rough diamond is expected to achieve a substantial price per carat as preliminary examinations indicate that it is expected to produce top colour and top clarity polished diamonds,' the company said in a statement.

London-listed miner Gem has found three of the world’s 20 largest diamonds since it acquired the mine in 2006 including the 603-carat Lesotho Promise, which sold for $12.4million (£8m).

The Lesotho government owns a 30 per cent stake in the mine.

The find comes a year after fellow Southern Africa diamond miner Petra unearthed a 507-carat stone near Johannesburg.

The Cullinan Heritage, the 19th largest diamond ever found, was sold to a Hong Kong jeweller in February for $35.3m (£22.9m).

The find is still dwarfed by the Cullinan Diamond which was discovered in 1905.

At 3,106 carats it was the largest gem-quality rough diamond ever found but the biggest polished stone produced from it, the Great Star of Africa - 530 carats - is a teardrop shape.

The Koh-i-Noor diamond, which is part of the Crown Jewels, dates back to 1306.

The gem is a round cut but at 105 carats, it originated in India but was seized by Britain as a spoil of war in 1849.

It supposedly brings good luck to female owners and misfortune or death to any male who wears or owns it.

Light Bulb Candles

You see long ago before Swan or Edison invented the lightbulb, people used candles. When lightbulbs became the norm, the candle went the way of the wind. DUH right? Well I’m feeling a bit nostalgic so I’m keen on The Light Bulb Effect – a wax candle shaped like a bulb. The interior cavity melts straight down without deforming the outer wall and you can screw it into a standard socket. A soft light but one that’ll make everyone look gorgeous.

The Bicycle Built To Party

“Ryan Lloyd and Derek Collins are betting that exercising – or at least a little bit of it – and partying go hand in hand. The two young entrepreneurs, longtime friends going back to their high-school days at Wauwatosa East, are partners in a 16-person bicycle-powered party on wheels. Called Milwaukee Pedal Tavern, the vehicle has been spotted around town for pub crawls, graduation parties and bachelor or bachelorette parties. The vehicle can hold up to 16 people, and 10 of the seats are pedal-powered. One person can sit in the middle of the vehicle and help serve beverages and food to fellow partygoers. The charge is about $160 an hour. During one recent outing, Milwaukee Pedal Tavern brought a group from the bars along W. Blue Mound Road to Miller Park for a Milwaukee Brewers game. Lloyd said the pedal tavern idea surfaced in Europe and has proved popular in Germany and the Netherlands. Lloyd spotted it in Minneapolis, where more than 17,000 people have climbed aboard. Lloyd, convinced the idea would be a success in Milwaukee, obtained the distribution rights for Milwaukee, bought one vehicle and has plans to buy another.”
