Progressing from the very docile Syma S107 to this little (devil) single rotor fixed blade heli demands a steep learning curve. Getting used to a new computerized transmitter (DX6i) on a heli made learning even more challenging. Firstly I need to understand how the DX6i functions and the meanings of the terms in the programming modes. Then I will need to re-learn how to manipulate the controllers which is totally different from the previous one. Then the programming of the settings. Not forgetting to learn how the bird flies with additional movement function called the aileron. It sways left or right instead of turning CW or ACW.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;Flying Blade mSR wasn't easy at all for a beginner. But I am getting the hang of it. Crashing less. now. Moving around the room more. Slowly. When it gets too fast my mind and my fingers couldn't catch up to bring it back in control. Not good enough to get it to go where I wanted it to go, and fly the way I imagined it to be able to fly yet. Occasionally I still get mixed up with the aileron and the rudder control, and sometimes definitely the elevator control with the throttle. If you progressed from a coaxial stock transmitter you will fully understand what I mean.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;I reckon I'll need another maybe 20 or more successful flight experiences or so to fly it decently and gracefully.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&amp;nbsp;My mCPx will be turning up at my doorstep not very long from now... After flying my mSR for the past three days, and judging from my progress, I have sort of decided I'd better let it rest in the box for a few more months, read and do lots of visualizations before I attempt to start hover that bird in the air. Or maybe not....&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For those who are reading this and thinking how difficult can it be to fly a toy helicopter... I thought so too. When I first watched in YouTube how seasoned heli pilots fly the mCPx... flipping around like nobodys business, I thought that would be easy.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But not until I crash even a coaxial heli, and now the mSR, I take back my words (thoughts). I salute to all the acrobatic and 3D heli pilots.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5526252643903476566-2999150013847395495?l=bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/2999150013847395495/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5526252643903476566&amp;postID=2999150013847395495&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/2999150013847395495'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/2999150013847395495'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/09/blade-msr.html' title='Blade mSR - First Week Experience'/><author><name>Pre-Tertiary Design Educator</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02228730400140256756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SQw8JkC9Kx0/TnIqgmybPtI/AAAAAAAABwU/UHVmt0FwWZs/s72-c/securedownload.jpeg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526252643903476566.post-1145978809183042950</id><published>2011-09-04T18:44:00.001+08:00</published><updated>2011-09-05T00:59:19.011+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='SYMA S107G'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Coaxial'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='RC Helicopter'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Modifications'/><title type='text'>SYMA S107G Review + Modifications + How NOT to fly your SYMA S107G</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kF2M83I3ZBU/TmNQMrDh9gI/AAAAAAAABvk/PHoWcybkHPA/s1600/syma+s107g.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="220" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kF2M83I3ZBU/TmNQMrDh9gI/AAAAAAAABvk/PHoWcybkHPA/s320/syma+s107g.JPG" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;This is my 3-Channel SYMA&lt;i&gt; (pronounced as 'sea-ma')&lt;/i&gt; S107G Coaxial Helicopter @ charging station.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;Flying the extremely stable coaxial bird can be both fun and soothing.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Modifications to my SYMA S107G&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;1) I took the tail supports and decorations off to reduce some weight hoping to fly it a little faster. I could have had the tail blade changed and modified too but decided that the initial 'amputation' was sufficient. It does fly a little faster considering now the bird actually does inch a little more forward during flight. So that is the fun aspect.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;2) I took the canopy off. Using the principles of moment, I moved the battery forward so that the front becomes 'heavier' without adding additional weight to the front. If the front is heavier, the heli will be pointing downwards more during flight that with the battery in its original position, thus making forward flight faster. Note: Remember to put back the canopy.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;3) I&amp;nbsp;modified the transmitter by taking out the spring out of the throttle stick and now the bird basically hovers hands-off (the transmitter). Note: Unless the bird is trimmed it will never sit in the air (hover) nicely.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Verdict&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;Slightly faster. If you push the throttle and the forward stick together, it moves even quicker. But do this only when your heli is in a low position. =)&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;b&gt;Overall&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/u&gt;:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;It is quite relaxing to see it hover and move slowly across the room, right in front of you, flying high or low if I chose to fly it that way. Looking at the way it glides through the air gracefully and steadily can be therapeutic. But more often than not I would fly it quite aggressively.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;After countless initial crashes in the beginning while learning about the controls and flight characteristics, I can now take it anywhere and anyhow I wanted it to. (Within the limits of a 3-channel rc heli of course).&amp;nbsp;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;A summary of what you should not do while flying SYMA S107G&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;1) Do not take it close to the ceiling. The bird will be sucked up. Nose dive after that to ground zero.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;2) Do not fly close to the wall too. The same reasons as above but this time the suction direction is lateral rather than vertical.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;3) Fly under NO WIND conditions in an enclosed area. The bird simply goes off course at the slightest breeze. Unless you are pretty good at the controls, you might crash it to the walls and find the bird at ground zero very soon.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;4) Fly within transmitting range (i.e. &amp;lt;10m) and within sight.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;Final Comments&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;While it is fun and easy to fly SYMA S107G, I am beginning to find it a little slow. The next step would be to fly a Fixed Pitch and a Collective Pitch Heli.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5526252643903476566-1145978809183042950?l=bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/1145978809183042950/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5526252643903476566&amp;postID=1145978809183042950&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/1145978809183042950'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/1145978809183042950'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/2011/09/syma-s107g-review-and-modifications.html' title='SYMA S107G Review + Modifications + How NOT to fly your SYMA S107G'/><author><name>Pre-Tertiary Design Educator</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02228730400140256756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-kF2M83I3ZBU/TmNQMrDh9gI/AAAAAAAABvk/PHoWcybkHPA/s72-c/syma+s107g.JPG' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526252643903476566.post-9026804231786951079</id><published>2011-06-06T18:47:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2011-06-06T18:49:46.634+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Alphabets'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Animation'/><title type='text'>How to Draw 2-D &amp;

Yeap... everywhere. One moment one caterpillar would jaywalk across the carpark. Another moment a few would decide to cut across walkways.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Many of them did not survive their migration to the other side of the road. Not because they were caught by birds, but because they became squashed caterpillas. They don't look very delicious. And their brightly colored body may suggest that they are poisonous.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Since caterpillas cannot be taught how not to wander into human pathways, at least people can be reminded to watch out out for them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So, I created this road sign and posted a few outside my office. =) All done in between breaks of course...&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5526252643903476566-4002690023412676837?l=bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/4002690023412676837/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5526252643903476566&amp;postID=4002690023412676837&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/4002690023412676837'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/4002690023412676837'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/05/slow-down-caterpillas-crossing.html' title='Slow Down - Caterpillas Crossing'/><author><name>Pre-Tertiary Design Educator</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02228730400140256756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5BmnjDH4fQc/Sf-AK5ta3KI/AAAAAAAAAho/MSO1BMKptVM/s72-c/Caterpillas+Crossing+Sign+Color.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526252643903476566.post-3560188428285076532</id><published>2009-05-01T14:26:00.011+08:00</published><updated>2009-05-05T07:58:55.809+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Design and Technology'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='peom'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Darn Good Job'/><title type='text'>Do A Darn Good Job</title><content type='html'>&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;font-size:180%;color:#000000;"&gt;&lt;u&gt;I WANT to&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p align="center"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:trebuchet ms;"&gt;"‘I WANT to do a darn good job’;

This year's focus zooms into the actual ideation process which emphasises on the attitude of an 'ideator' rather than merely a teaching of a certain technique to generate ideas quickly.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Learning or simply being aware (now) of such approach does help in generating ideas very quickly and efficiently, &lt;em&gt;however&lt;/em&gt;, the quality mass of ideas at the end of the day still reflects the attitude of the thinker behind the ideation process.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Close to 30 Design &amp;amp; Technology educators from various schools got to understand the mechanisms to the approach as well as experiencing it via actually working on the process; hence the presentation title: "ACTUALLY DOING IT"&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;The second image shown above are some of my Secondary 1N(A) students who completed the note holder design just in time to be showcased during the presentation. It was pleasant to hear comments from fellow educators that they were amazed that the Secondary 1 normal (academic) students could design a note holder with such quality in terms of design.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Why not?... but &lt;strong&gt;not&lt;/strong&gt; without the persoanl attitude to want to think and to put in the best effort. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;Tools and techniques are but just tools and techniques...&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5526252643903476566-2918114772243143632?l=bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/2918114772243143632/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5526252643903476566&amp;postID=2918114772243143632&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/2918114772243143632'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/2918114772243143632'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/2009/03/design-technology-conference-2009.html' title='Design &amp; Technology Conference 2009: Designerly Thinking'/><author><name>Pre-Tertiary Design Educator</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02228730400140256756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_5BmnjDH4fQc/Sb-kNCTBD_I/AAAAAAAAAX8/cg0TiJOzAJI/s72-c/D%26T+Conference+2009+Cover+%26+Synopsis.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526252643903476566.post-217468931431808014</id><published>2009-01-18T13:37:00.008+08:00</published><updated>2009-10-14T23:31:58.898+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='Cartoon'/><title type='text'>Cartoons on the Reality of Self Affirmation AND Technique for Relaxation</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5292504082456000002" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 218px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_5BmnjDH4fQc/SXLAbA8YNgI/AAAAAAAAANM/n4INWBBGstw/s400/Affirmation.JPG" border="0" /&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt; &lt;strong&gt;All Art Copyright © 2009 by Daniel Lim.Use of graphics is prohibited without prior written consent. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;It is one thing to tell yourself to be &lt;strong&gt;positive&lt;/strong&gt; and another to &lt;strong&gt;act it out&lt;/strong&gt;.

The 'V' shape at the front or back leg at the base, connection the back rest, as shown in the two variations above provide the dampening effect as the user leans backwards. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;With a simply relocation of a pivot point, it has also contributed to the overall form creating a new look.

One which will cost less to manufacture, less maintenance and one which neither rely on mechanisms nor electronics to work and minimize water wastage.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;This tap innovation concept was created and presented in the &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;Jurong&lt;/span&gt; Medical Centre on 6&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;th&lt;/span&gt; September 2007 as part of an Experiential Innovation Protocol Workshop Program is shown below.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5120810748091965522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="http://bp2.blogger.com/_5BmnjDH4fQc/RxDGPoIGIFI/AAAAAAAAACw/29BHjpzOsSo/s400/No+Waste+Tap.jpg" border="0" /&gt; &lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:78%;"&gt;© All rights reserved.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;The valve within the cap is shut when the cap of the tap is at the rest position. The user lifts up the cap and water will start flowing. The rate of fall of the cap will depend on the rate of flow of water. Research needs to be done to make sure that the cap will continue to fall at a rate to facilitate a complete hand washing process of approximately 10 seconds taking in consideration the average water flow rate of a HDB flat. The user will have a choice of shutting the tap earlier by adding pressure to the cap hence shutting the valve. Otherwise, the cap will fall slowly via gravity to shut the water supply valve internally. &lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;Recommended usage: &lt;em&gt;Toilet&lt;/em&gt;. Not suitable for dishwashing area due to the 10 seconds gravity shut off.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;For more Design Samples, take a stroll to &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/stickylife/"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;http://www.flickr.com/photos/stickylife/&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div align="left"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Enjoy!&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5526252643903476566-1380524196231470103?l=bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/feeds/1380524196231470103/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5526252643903476566&amp;postID=1380524196231470103&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/1380524196231470103'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5526252643903476566/posts/default/1380524196231470103'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://bigcowdesigns.blogspot.com/2007/10/tap-innovation-getting-gravity-to-work.html' title='Concept Innovation: Gravity Works on TAP'/><author><name>Pre-Tertiary Design Educator</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/02228730400140256756</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media='http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/' url='http://bp2.blogger.com/_5BmnjDH4fQc/RxDGPoIGIFI/AAAAAAAAACw/29BHjpzOsSo/s72-c/No+Waste+Tap.jpg' height='72' width='72'/><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526252643903476566.post-7929656210974448290</id><published>2007-10-13T15:43:00.002+08:00</published><updated>2009-03-09T11:11:45.029+08:00</updated><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='product'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='design'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='sketch'/><category scheme='http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#' term='prototype'/><title type='text'>Bills Sorter</title><content type='html'>&lt;div align="justify"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:courier new;"&gt;Designed and realised in May 2005, the bill sorter design was planned to sort out unpaid bills. The concept is simple, if there is nothing on it, that will mean no unpaid bills.
