Whirlpool has shown of its futuristic “green kitchen” concept in which 60% of the water and heat generated from appliances is “diverted” to fuel other appliances or functions in the eco-kitchen.

Through this integrated use of appliances, with the concept taking its model from the cycle of nature, it optimises the use of heat and water with processes that increase energy efficiency up to 70%.

For example, the kitchen allows you to use the heat produced by the fridge compressor, the only appliance to operate 24 hours a day, to produce hot water for the dishwasher.

Simple changes make a difference too - the refrigerator also uses a fridge “drawer”, instead of the normal cabinet. This new design prevents the cold air from slipping out every time the door opens.

As well as being eco-friendly, the average savings that an owner could make from the kitchen eco-system created to adapt, reduce and recycle water, heat and energy are estimated at 24%.

Chess is known to be a mind game where each player plans his move and plots strategies against his opponent.

Enter the Thinking Table, an interactive table with a built in chess board with an artificial intelligence program, which thinks and predicts the probable moves the player may be planning. The computer’s thought process gets sketched on the screen as it plays and a map of thousands of possible futures gets illuminated on the board.

The board is both the arena in which the two players act, and a thought space in which their linked choices, deliberations and hostilities are made visible. Chess is a fairy tale of 1001 blunders and that is exactly the thinking machines predict to make the game all the more exciting. The Thinking Table is currently a project in progress and we would love to see it being commercialized.
