Nathan Zeldes blogs on everyday product design. An elegant hydraulic calculator. Definitely a good idea! January 15, 2015. See the mechanic working on my Renault Clio. Do you know what he’s doing?

Because he wants to replace a burned out light bulb in the headlamp assembly. Why, what’s the problem? Here is the problem:. How many design engineers does it take.

Nathan Zeldes blogs on everyday product design. Another triumph of improvisation! Definitely a good idea! February 25, 2015. Here is a row of anchors, which I photographed in Greenwich in the UK. You’ll note the one in the foreground has a single fluke (as the pointy ends of an anchor are called). The sign says this anchor is from around 1820. So why would they produce an anchor with only one fluke,. When most of them have two? For a very good reason. Be Sociable, Share! Feed for this Entry.

On the other hand, when we try to understand other works translate (or let me call it retranslate) it again to original form. This matter happens when we want to explaining an idea for others also. Although, in my point of view, ...
