this really is the first goal of changing film short in the world hi my name is stone and I'm going to tell you something more about these famous shirts one year ago I said in a train and it was certainly thinking how cool would it be if there was a stream short that could change color when it gets an interaction with the water I was looking online for this product but I couldn't find it so I decided to make them myself I did a lot of research and I found out that there were a few other products that had the same ability as a waste for my shorts to change color a few months later I understood how it worked so started to make prototypes research was quite expensive so try to raise money through entrepreneurial awards in the beginning I didn't add a product to show so made a color change extreme short with a computer the jury believed it was real so they approved me to the next round and by the time I made it to the finals the real working prototype unfortunately I didn't win but I received a lot of feedback and this helped me to make the product even better and after more than a year of research the shorts are finally ready the swim shorts changed color when they get an interaction with water this isn't because of the moisture but because of the temperature of the water water is more cold than the temperature above surface that's exactly replaced the color shifted point as short becomes right first column reveals again and so on because they react to temperature changes they can be customized so you're sure to never have the same color or pattern they made at a home % polyester and that means that they are very durable and dry quickly it Stewart's have a perfect fit because we've tested a lot of other shorts we've taken the best aspects from each stream shorts and combine them to make our stream shorts kids also love it they can really play with the stream short and they will enjoy the time being in the water so if that also buys them a swim short they have a cool short and the cool looking that but the best thing after all this short to really let you stand now whether you are on the beach are just in a swimming pool now I want to make sure you can all wear those shorts this summer but I need your help I need to raise at least 15,000 euros to start the production so please support this project and share it with your friends and family and together we're going to make every summer a little bit better hi i'm jihun and this is a mon and we started ministers fly about five years ago right here in Boston so we know a thing or two about being cold all the time we tried everything coffee jackets tons a layered and none of it worked so we decided to invent something better much warmer it's an intelligent heated jacket our most ambitious project ever so to create the intelligent heating system we started off with three carbon fiber heating elements the system is controlled by our custom chip which allows to integrate our temperature sensors accelerometer and also communicate to an application over bluetooth to use the jacket it's super simple we just plug in this USB battery and the jacket is in automatic mode to control the temperature simply turn the heat up or down or leave it just as is the way our machine learning algorithm works is it looks at what is the temperature that you want maximum heat and then what's also the temperature at which you want the jacket to shut off based on your input we can create the ideal performance model for you and over time the jacket will learn your preferences so it'll get better and more and more you use them I think one of the coolest moments is when you take our most recent sample and you pick it up and it automatically turns on or even coolers when you walk outside and automatically turns up and this idea that it knows what you want before you can even tell it as a two-layer waterproof breathable membrane it allows your vapors to pass through but not rain droplets it has 100 gram of recycled polyester insulation which actually provides a little bit of odor control because it has copy grounds embedded in it there's also a very low-profile waterproof zipper as well as a durable water repellent to keep the jacket dry wanted something that looked just as comfortable in a city but also had the protection for the mountain to keep a really clean profile we use ultrasonic baffling to keep the insulation in place it also allows the whole garment to stretch which is really cute the jacket also features an easily removable head it has a Qi charging mat so if you take your while if smartphone slide it into the smartphone pocket next to it it'll automatically start to charge it's taken us a few years of dozens of prototypes and countless hours of garment developed but also kind of technology development to figure out how to create each of the components for these you know hundreds of wash cycles on a machine to make sure that heating pads don't erode color fastness tests wash ability tests everything you can imagine to figure out how to make each of these components that when we bring it all together it's truly both beautiful and indestructible which is a tough combination to find this is the first time that we felt we can actually create a garment that got better the more you used it and make a garment that does a better job at what you want it to do so the jacket it's keep you warm that's what the future of kind of wearable technology should be it can seamlessly work into our day and in many cases anticipate you know the functionality that we need hi my name is Michaela mercury if I'm a small time gear designer and inventor best known for the ember lit stove but today I want to introduce you to the world's first production emergency super shelter warm all over it is it's like if you can imagine what a rotisserie chicken would feel like that's basically what you're doing is sitting in a like a solar oven almost okay we're at 75 okay right now and it's still climbing we're almost at 80 degrees there are five heat loss mechanisms that you have to watch out for in a cold environment number one is conduction that simply means touching something colder than you are if you sit on a cold bench you're gonna lose heat through your butt to that bench it's the way it works number two is convection convection is wind you all heard of wind chill so you know just how effective the wind could be at accelerating your heat loss number three is radiation a lot of people don't realize it but we are actually constantly radiating long wave thermal radiation out into our environment up into space next we have respiration when I take a deep breath over that cold mountain air is refreshing but as I exhale I'm exhaling warm moist air from my lungs and that's heat coming out of my body finally we have evaporation if you're wet from sweating or you've been in the rain or the snow or you've fallen in the creek the water evaporating from your skin greatly accelerates your heat loss there are a lot of inexpensive actually kind of cheap tube tents and mylar blankets that are available on the market they do an okay job at insulating you against those five heat loss mechanisms they get you out of the wind and the rain they help reflect a lot of your body heat back at you but honestly one of the little secrets that is pretty well known in the bushcraft and survival community is you can do just about the same job with a garbage bag well all these different shelters including the garbage bag they all have the same limitation and that limitation is they don't actually help you produce heat all they do is try to stem the loss of heat from your body and so if you are sick if you're injured if you're already wet or malnourished or tired there's a good chance that your body might not be able to produce enough heat to take advantage of one of those shelters anyways at the very least you're getting to be miserable and uncomfortable shivering all night long so how does a super shelter work well it does the same job that all those other shelters do it takes you out of the wind and out of the rain and snow it reflects a lot of your body heat but it does something they don't and that it can be heated from the outside with a small campfire you ever notice how when you're next to a campfire or wood stove that it feels like it warms your bones it's because it kind of does that fire is giving off thermal radiation like a big spotlight and it actually penetrates your tissue and starts to warm you from the inside and so what the super shelter does is acts like a greenhouse by collecting that radiation by collecting that warm energy coming off a fire and it traps it inside there with you so that it can warm you as well this is where the genius of the super shelter comes into play and I wish it was my genius but it's not all credit goes to a gentleman named Morris Kochanski Morris is a highly respected and knowledgeable wilderness living skills and survival instructor he came up with the concept for the super shelter in the 1980s I believe it was inspired by his observations of how igloos function and it is still today regularly improvised and built in the field by bushcraft and survival nerds alike by utilizing this method with a little bit of space-age materials and put it into a tiny package that you can throw in the back of your snowmobile in the back of your pack or your day pack you could be in your t-shirt and a pair of shorts even when it's below freezing outside as long as you know how to tend a small fire and you have of course a super shelter so here I am once again Kickstarter coming to you with my idea asking you to help me make it a reality I've teamed up with an incredible company called heat sheets they are the premier manufacturers thermal reflective materials here in the United States there NASA approve their universe government approved their space approved they got all sorts of approvals I don't even know they are the people to go to for making this type of material and I'm really honored that they're working with me to make me shelter however we need your help because in order to make manufacturing possible we have a minimum order of materials that we have to buy and so I need your help to raise enough to submit that minimum order so that we can get everything affordable and in the process you get to have your own emergency super shelter thank you so very much asthma Kyle and I look forward to your support on my project at nomadic we make the most functional bags ever and today we're excited to introduce the nomadic messenger and laptop bag ematic is a kickstarter born company and thanks to our incredible supporters we have successfully brought five products to life through Kickstarter in our last campaign we delivered over 12,000 backpacks on time and in response received hundreds of glowing reviews customers all over the world are loving their bags so we had a quick celebration then jacob said let's get back to work we'd open head first researching the market and sketching up designs meeting with our manufacturing partners and testing prototype after prototype we didn't want to just create another messenger and laptop bag we wanted something more functional accessible and versatile after a year of thinking through every last inch and 16 prototypes later we finally got it just right the laptop bag is designed to hold your everyday essentials no more no less while the messenger bag offers 50% more space and has a few more tricks up its sleeve both the messenger and laptop bag are made with strong waterproof zippers and tarpaulin material that will last forever our custom magnetic buckles are awesome they give 360 degree rotation providing maximum comfort with the perfect angle every time and when you want to go from shoulder carry to briefcase rotate the strap opposite the normal carry position and pull then like magic they snap back on at any angle the innovative spring-loaded compression buckle allows you to adjust the strap length and lock it down both bags have a documents pocket and a TSA ready laptop and tablet compartment which lay flat and make TSA checkpoints a breeze and while traveling you can easily slide either bag on your luggage handle to keep you visible in the dark both bags have reflective ink the messenger and laptop bags offer plenty of pockets to help you stay organized multiple mesh elastic pockets RFID blocking and lockable security pocket zipper pockets and a notebook and documents pocket basically whatever you're carrying these bags have a spot for it but each bag has a slightly different layout to maximize space first let's take a look at the laptop bag while this bag may be small it packs a serious punch the full perimeter zipper gives you a wide open view for easy access to your essentials inside you'll find plenty of pockets to organize your cords power bank and other small items each bag includes a removable sunglasses shell to keep your glasses protected while on the move next we added a retractable key leash easily lock up with one hand release the key and watch it effortlessly returned to its pocket in the bag now let's walk through the messenger bag and see what additional features it has to offer on the outside of the bag we have added our innovative magnetic water bottle pockets they snap shut and look sleek when not in use and expand when you need the space this bag will also stand up straight on its own on the top of the bag you get a quick access fleece pocket for valuables the full perimeter zipper gives a wide open view of the inside for better visibility and packing each messenger bag comes with two interchangeable velcro panels the organizer panel comes with three mesh pockets and a paper sleeve the compartments panel was designed to organize larger items with the velcro walls built in the compartments can easily be customized to fit your needs also in this main compartment you get a removable sunglasses shell and the retractable key leash on the front of the bag you will find a separate accessories pocket which includes mesh pockets records and other small items on the other side you get a lockable RFID safe pocket zipper pocket and a notebook in document sleeve and last but not least the messenger bag has cord pass-through hole to keep your electronics charged on the move we have spent countless hours perfecting these two bags and are so excited to
