Specialized’s “Innovate or Die” (previously blogged here) is finished, and the submissions are up on Youtube. Entries range from useful to mundane to culinary

A couple of my favs:

• The Aquaduct a tricycle for transporting water from a distant (3rd world?) water source and purifying it along the trip. It converts to a stationary mode to continue filtration. This solves a real problem in many parts of the world.
• the Pedal Powered Mobile Call shop. This great little idea is not only a pedal powered application,it’s a full fledged business model.
• a Pedal-Powered Fridge
. Another real-world application here, this could potentially keep vaccines cool off the grid.

I didn’t get time to review all 101 entries, what’s your fav?
