Unique Vending Machines

The Vending Machines of Today

Now, even hot meals can be bought from vending machines. Photo Credits

Vending Machines are important especially in locations where there are no stores nearby or there are no 24/7 convenience stores or food places.

From canned soda, snacks, and even electronic goods, a lot of products are now being sold via vending machines.

Just like this vending machine featured over at MessyNessyChic.Com. The website posted a story on a vending machine in Istanbul, Turkey that dispenses water and food for stray animals. The thing is it does not need coins – it just needs recyclable plastic bottles in exchange for the pet food and water that it dispenses.

“Animal lovers gather round! Some very clever folks in Istanbul have created a vending machine that releases food and water for the city’s stray dogs in exchange for recycled plastic bottles. I couldn’t help but share this in the hopes that they get a little buzz to help spread the word.”

Cannabis Vending Machine?

In Canada, there are vending machines that sells marijuana. Website RT.Com reported the launch of the first ever marijuana vending machine in the country.

“The first cannabis-dispensing machine in Canada has begun operating in Vancouver, following on from the first machine installed recently in the US state of Colorado. The difference? The Canadian machine doesn’t ID you. Despite the controversy surrounding the plant and the endless bickering that has marked the discourse around it, the machine looks strangely ordinary and even less threatening than a cigarette pack, with big green leaves and certainly no indication that it contains something that is so hotly debated.”

The Electric toothbrush is one creature comfort some people cannot live without. And why not? It makes cleaning your pearly whites easier!

But the Electric toothbrush has gone a long way, from its old rotating self.

In its website, Kikckstarter.com featured the newest, and probably the coolest type of electric toothbrush in the market. It changes designs, very light-weight, prolonged battery life, and can even be charged via USB charger! Build Safe

Quoting its website: “Dot Company is a team of innovators that have observed that dental care products have started lagging behind in the world of product design and personalization. We feel the big companies are producing new products but with the same old boring designs that the consumers, who are interested in personalized and contemporary design, find dull and uninteresting. T.brush is reinventing the art of toothbrush design by providing a compact and lightweight electric toothbrush, personalized to several styles and designs, with an overall performance better than the leading products in the market.”

Check out the toothbrushes here.

Bidet for the mouth, anyone?

This modern electric toothbrush featured over at wired.com is as futuristic as he T. Brush, but it could be more practical. Why? Because it can also rinse your mouth.

“We’ve found the toothbrush of the future. Yes, it’s electric, but not in the way you’re used to. Most toothbrushes are pretty good at getting toothpaste onto your teeth; now, the Rinser Brush also helps wash it off. A groove below the head of the toothbrush lets water from the tap flow through a plastic grate set in the handle. One push of a button, and a small motor propels the water up in a smooth laminar-flow plume straight to your mouth. It’s an instant drinking fountain, built into a toothbrush. For the traveler, it means not having to slurp water from the faucet or lapping it up from cupped hands. At home, it means not needing disposable cups or a glass that needs to be washed. For parents, it’s one more way to convince kids that hygiene is fun.”

Unconventional Use

An unconventional use of car battery was meantime shared by website Speed Society. It featured the use of a jumper cable and car batteries as a do-it-yourself emergency welding equipment when you find yourself needing to do a welding job while at a remote location.

“When it comes to welding, a decent amount of equipment is necessary to get the job done. Unfortunately, if you find yourself out on the trails, that equipment isn’t the easiest in the world to haul around. Instead of bringing a big, clunky welder with you everywhere you go, there’s another option that could manage to get you out of a bind in a hurry using only what you have on hand!”

Chest Freezers are now the new efficient refrigerators – at least according to those preparing for a life off the grid.

In the Website New Life on A Homestead detailed how they converted a chest freezer into an energy efficient refrigerator that will not eat up the solar energy that they are allotting for daily use.

“In the months before purchasing our solar kit, we took measurements of how much power each of our appliances pulls using a Kill-a-Watt-Meter. After plugging our fridge into the meter for several days, we were able to determine that our upright unit was pulling about 2.25 kWh/day. With a solar system that will only produce 4-6 kW/day (assuming sunny days and clear skies), we had to find a way to reduce the load our fridge required.”
