Cardboard Record Player

20100324201

The packaging cardboard also acts as a record player? Though it’s hard to believe, the video after the jump proves that is totally true. It is a hand-operated record player designed to demonstrate the GGRP’s perfect sound engineering capabilities. But why the cardboard could work as a player is mainly attributed to the special structure of the cardboard, which would create certain vibrations, once the needle of the record moves on it. According to the company, the record is supposed to be played at 45 revolutions per minute.

Why, you may ask, the squeezer is not suitable to other kinds of fruit like mango, watermelon or apple? Its unique constructer may be the main reason. As you can see from the pictures, the Orangin Citrus Squeezer works in more or less the same way as a hand-crank pencil sharpener, and the machine produces juice by constantly squeezing the fruit. But only orange juice is enough for me, I love it! [Read the rest of this entry...]
