CloudV

The CloudV has paved the way for the next level of electronic vaporizer pens on the market. It draws inspiration from electronic cigarette technologies. The Coud is not meant to be used for tobacco but for wax. This wax is concentrated delta-8-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) which is the main psychoactive ingredient in cannabis.

The cap of the Cloud is pulled off and inside there's a bowl with a coil. Once the bowl is filled with wax the cap is placed back and you are ready to smoke. The inner coil on the bowl heats up when the button is pushed causing the wax to heat up and release the smoke form the cap. A design downfall occurs when a consumer continuously uses the product which heats up the cap to a lip stinging hell.  

 The design of the product and packaging resembles apple products.  The Cloud comes with a rechargeable lithium battery, which is great since no money on future batteries is needed. The cord to charge the Cloud (again) draws inspiration to apples charger. The only thing that's slightly different and a great add on is the retractable cord. The retractable cord allows for a non tangled mess. The cord also gives the owner the option to charge the Cloud on a computer or an outlet. The Cloud comes in many colors, this gives consumer the option to best choose a hue to mach his/her personality. 

Air Umbrella

 This product is meant to redesign and reinvent the concept of an umbrella. This product is design to intake air and redirect it in a powerful protective barrier against the rain. The bulb-like section houses a  powerful fan which provides a 360 degree of powerful air flow for up to two people. The length of the umbrella is originally 50 centimeters but can be extended up to 80 centimeters, depending on the desired length.  The power switch is locate on the very bottom and the rechargeable batteries are placed along the handle of the product. The is a rubber section on the handle providing the user with a firm hold on their product. The Rubber is designed to hold its friction when wet, this is important because the product will more likely than not always be wet. The product seems bulky and heavy at first glance but its actually about a pound in weight, which is not that bad. A possible annoying effect of the product could be, the stream of air will pushing all the rain onto bystanders and enrage them.

Anti Rape Condom

This Anti Rape Condom was design by South African Dr. Sonnet Ehlers. She felt a need to design such a thing to combat women rape, which is common in her country.  When we think of condoms we normally think of a man wearing it, this condom is designed for women to wear. This condom is designed for a women to be able to wear it for long periods of time, it acts as a rape deterrent.  The device is made of flexible rubber (as far as I could tell) and on the inside it contains rows of sharp teeth. The teeth are designed to grab and get stuck on the attackers penis, once its stuck on a penis, it could only be removed via hospital visit

This device don’t solve the cause of rape such as: sexual desire, sexual frustration, dominance, insecurities; all complex issues that need to be addressed. What this device does achieve is a smaller level of comfort knowing a rape won’t be completed and a sense of justice when an attacker gets impaled.

 Canon EOS Rebel T3

The Canon EOS Rebel T3 is a great camera for the beginning photographer in all of us. Its priced at about $300 dollars (depending on where you look). It comes with a standard 18-55mm kit lens and a built in flash. The T3 Rebel is design so the lens can be detached and replaced with any other Canon lenses (or compatible lenses). The ability to change the lens grants the Rebel adaptability to any shooting situation. The built in flash is pretty decent but if you find yourself needing more power, the camera has a hoteshoe on top to mount a off flash device. Its smooth curved body gives off a stylish look while the black color makes it timeless. The cameras grip feels very comfortable in the grip of your hands and weighing in at 17 oz. The camera is light enough for prolong sessions and heavy enough to appreciate  its presence. One thing that the manufactures could improve on is the material used on the grip. In a prolonged shooting session, a sweaty hand can slip very easily off the grip causing you to drop your investment.
