"This is one of the more subersive entries in the competition" Allan Chochinov, editor-in-chief of Core77 ....................................... Saving water has become one of the most important habits of a modern day human being. We all know that for most people self-regulation is very difficult. So a little help comes from the Eco_Drop Shower. It looks like a normal shower but it is not. The secret is in the base: normally it is wonderfully shaped with concentric circles conveying the waves of the falling drops. But after having been staying under the water for too long something happens.. those circles rise, so that you are not allowed to stay longer in the shower, and you are forced to turn off the water and go out. "Eco_Drop" Shower will help save water and energy. ....................................... REVIEWS ....................................... No Shower to long with the Eco Drop Saving water has become one of the most important habits of a modern day human being. Don't ask me why for that would give me an outright chance to call you a jerk. It truly is important people and in the years to come the level of importance would be such that we would have to think about it even whilst taking a shower. In such a scenario, a judicious decision would be to use the Eco Drop Shower. The amazing shower works on a simple principle where the floor embed concentric circles (check image) convey the waves of the falling droplets. That is a normal shower floor until you overuse the water, wherein the circles would rise ultimately disallowing you to stand under the shower. A great way to save water, especially for the ones who can't just stop themselves from sitting under the shower for hours together. Review by www.bornrich.org ....................................... There has been a lot of emphasis in recent years on conserving water, but we all know that for most people self-regulation is damn near impossible. Enter designer Tommaso Colia and his Eco_Drop Shower. When the shower has decided that you have outstayed your welcome, concentric circles on the floor will rise&mdashmaking things too uncomfortable to continue. I don't know if this concept will ever see the light of day, but I vote for modifying it into a moving wall of spikes. Now that would be effective. Additional pic after the break. Review by gizmodo.com ....................................... La tendance est au design écolo . Les concepts fleurissent ici et là avec pour seul objectif de réduire le gaspillage d'eau ou d'énergie. Le designer italien Tommaso Colia a cogité sur la question et a rendu une copie originale en présentant ce concept de douche écolo baptisé Eco drop . Au premier regard, cette douche semble tout à fait normale, mais à y regarder de plus près on s'aperçoit que le receveur comporte plusieurs cercles concentriques en relief. L'eau qui s'accumule à l'intérieur déclenche un mécanisme qui fait progressivement ressortir ces aspérités du sol. C'est suffisamment incitatif pour vous faire quitter la douche rapidement. En limitant le temps passé à prendre votre douche, vous économisez la consommation d'eau. En plus de faire un geste écologique , vous ne serez plus en retard à vos rendez-vous ! La douche écolo Eco drop vous incite à limiter le temps passé à prendre votre douche grâce à son receveur en relief. I think this design should be used in gyms and public showers. People take longer when the resources are free, this will help cut that down. With four levels of intensity, the shower progresses from “kinda weird” to “get me outta here”, as it decides you've been using too much water. The ripples in the floor will rise, causing discomfort to the point where you can no longer stand it. Also good for getting you to work on time, The Eco Drop, from designer Tommaso Colia, is unfortunately only a concept. It'd be interesting to see how many would opt for a physical deterrent to wasting water. ....................................... The Eco_Drop shower is a slab of bathroom shower floor which has the capability to curb your water usage. Its concentric circle design becomes more pronounced the more water you use, until standing atop it becomes quite a pain. Of course, concepts like these might not even get to the planning stage for a while, but it sure is an interesting way to try and conserve precious water. I just hope that when it IS developed, there's a way to turn it off, especially when you're in need of a long hot shower after a stressful day. Eco-Drop Shower - Holding your feet hostage to conservation... Ceci étant il faut bien admettre qu'il est très agréable de se relaxer sous une bonne douche chaude et que parfois on y reste trop longtemps.
Voici une nouvelle manière d'implanter des initiatives liées au développement durable dans notre vie de tous les jours. Por un lado, tenemos el Waitek Shower Monitor, un dispositivo bastante sencillo que se instala junto a la salida de agua de la ducha y nos indica cuánto tiempo llevamos y a qué temperatura está el agua. Una vez pasados 8 minutos, comienza a emitir pitidos que nos harán desear acabar cuanto antes. Por otro lado, tenemos el diseño conceptual de Tommaso Colia llamado Eco_Drop. Se trata de un plato de ducha cuya superficie comienza a deformarse a medida que pasamos tiempo sobre ella. Comienza a ganar relieve, haciendo que sea más y más incómodo seguir duchándose. Review from Japan www.j-tokkyo.com ¡¡¡Quieres salir de la ducha yaaaaaaaa!!!! Si sois de los que os cuesta salir de la ducha , calentita, relajante y aunque ya estéis completamente arrugados seguís cantando bajo el agua, no os preoccupies, que ya está aquí la ducha ECO-DROP . Creada por el italiano Tommaso Colia , es un plato de ducha que a la vista parece completamente normal , liso y antideslizante, con unos dibujos circulares muy monos en la base. Su secreto reside en el tiempo que permite que estés de pie sobre él y dejando el agua correr . Tras un tiempo prudencial y suficiente como para que uno se haya enjabonado, lavado el pelo y enjuagado, esos círculos empezarán a hincharse y a elevarse cada vez más , haciendo incómodo el estar de pie, ya que poco a poco irá quedando menos superficie para nosotros. Así que, salvo que nos apetezca jugar a Humor Amarillo en la ducha tratando de poner nuestros pies en algún hueco libre, nos veremos forzados a cerrar el grifo y salir de una vez , logrando así un ahorro notable de agua y energía. ¡Una idea original y efectiva! ¿No os parece? ? ?pe?ß????? ?ata????s? ?e??? e??a? µ?a ap? t?? p?? ?a??? s????e?e? t?? a????p?? e?d??? t??a p?? t? p??ß??µa ???eta? p?? ??t??? pa???sµ???. ? ??s? µa? ???eta? ap? t??
