Cool Glass Toaster
Until now, we've had to rely on smoke detectors to let us know when out toast was burning. Barbaric. Now, with the invention of this clever see-through toaster, we'll be able to actually see the bread toasting away, preventing any unfortunate toasting mishaps. Some info, from the site: This idea is based on the transparent heating glass featured in this issue. Although the glass does not currently get hot enough to toast bread, some day this application may be possible.
Ok, so this toaster doesn't actually toast bread. It's more of a luke-warmer than a toaster. Still, it's a cool idea and interesting technology nonetheless.

We have a solution on the glass toaster. It is not a concept design anymore, but we can make a normal temperature of over 500 degrees Celsius within 10 seconds (Glass itself -World's first invention). It is an innovative nano coating technology in Korea - Transparant 85%. It can be saving about 30% of electricity.
One problem is that the surface of the glass itself and surrounding glass would be very hot like a hot stove or a hot wire heater. It can be burnt or it can be set on fire something by the heating glass(by the outer glass).
If we have a solution to minimize the function of heater, we can make a new product as above concept design.
We also plan to make the hot glass heaters. It will be very differnt from 65~75 degree's glass radiators. We are looking for partner....
