“Chasing Time” is the name of this stylish one of a kind wall clock created by the Dutch J.P. Meulendijks product design company. Its unique construction will give you a beautiful timepiece where not only the time changes.

The 12 stripes slowly rotate once per hour. Every few minutes you look at the clock, it looks different.

They almost fall of the side of the clock before they return to the position where it looks like a normal clock again.

The Chasing Time wall clock is available from the Pid.se website for $359.

This impressive LED clock, created by the Dutch designer Peter van der Jagt, will show you the current time, day and date using 1500 red light-emitting diodes.

The clock can also give you all this information with a voice that speaks three different languages: English, Dutch and Japanese. Luckily, this feature can be turned off.

Try to keep your eyes of the animated scrolling seconds or watch it for hours! More than 1500 LEDS change the way we look at time. The clock is powered by a 220V 50hz adaptor which is included.

The LED Clock by Peter van der Jagt is available in two different colors: Black or White. The product is available from Questo Design for 167 EUR (about $247 USD).

Ralf Ottow, a Dutch optics engineer, has designed the Maxblaster – a flashlight powered by 54 batteries, capable of producing a beam of light four miles long.

Ottow stripped out the innards of a powerful commercial flashlight and switched in a mercury arc bulb, which generates light by creating an ultra-hot plasma between two closely spaced electrodes inside the gas-filled central chamber of the lamp.

That results in a brighter, more focused beam but also kicks out more ultraviolet light (hence the sunburn, a product of early testing). So he added a specially coated reflector and designed, ground, and coated a new glass window that would trap UV rays while still pumping out light.

We’ve covered quite a few levitating products at GeekAlerts, like globes, photo frames and a baseball, but this is the first ever post about levitating lamps.

This lamp was presented last week during the Dutch Design Week. It’s been designed by Angela Jansen from Crealev, an Eindhoven based company that specializes in levitation technologies for creative use, such as lighting.
