Peugeot seed concept car is an upshot of a high school student Andrew Kim’s intellect. His wits and marvelous green concept car weighing against his age are beyond belief. If you desire to go on covertly, this inimitable car blueprint would magnetize you, as it has no windscreen and windows. Additionally, the Cameras and real-time visuals on the car precisely depict the path facilitating disruption free driving. Bent in a dreadfully sleek and aerodynamic trend this car eases haul.

The Fuel Cell System can produce a power now by supplying water and air to fuel and air electrodes, respectively.
The concept Fuel Cell System power generation mechanism of latest system is similar to that of a usual fuel cell, which uses hydrogen as a fuel. According to Genepax, the main feature of the latest Fuel Cell System is that it uses the company’s membrane electrode assembly, which contains a material able of breaking down water into hydrogen and oxygen through a chemical reaction.
With the latest process, the Cell System needs simply water and air, eliminating the need for a hydrogen reformer and high-pressure hydrogen tank.

Here’s a call for the aqua-sports lovers who don’t mind enjoying the thrill with a little bit of concern for environment as well. Have a look at the Czeers MK1 prototypesolar speedboat, and you’ll know what we are talking about. Yes, this is your answer to your call of navigating the zooming water currents in a speed boat together with taking care of environment.
This is a 10-meter long rig, which fits in 14 square meters of solar panels to act as the power source to an 80kw electric motor. The world’s first solar powered speed boat, MK1 as they call it tears the water at a breakneck 30 knots, sans any fuel in form of oil leading no a fume, no engine noise and no engine waste ride. All you have is a solar powered vrooming ride on water.
Talk about the make of MK1 boat, and you come to know that it is made out of 100 percent carbon fiber. And what to say about features, they are nothing but pure icing on the cake. It comes with an LCD touch-screen control system, leather trimmings and, most importantly, photovoltaic cells on almost all its horizontal services. In short it is it will be a pure delight for a waterbaby to ride something that will give him pure pleasure and no guilt of polluting the environment.
As far as availability is concerned, Czeers are looking forward to producing between 4 and 8 boats per year. And if you are thinking price, I would only tell you that the last version of MK1 was exhibited at the Millionaire Fair, so, I don’t think there should be any prizes for guessing that this one is also going to be equally expensive and luxe!

Don’t mistake by labeling Solar and Human Powered Concept Boat, an exclusive creation by French designer Jonathan Mahieddine as mere work of art. In fact it is an absolute radiance. The designer has previously urbanized distinct model of boats but this latest concept soon-to-turn-reality is going to be pretty comfy and lavish.
The extent of relaxation can be defined as the boat will burn down the stress of all your family and friends by offering a sun bath. What more do you need? The eco friendly boat is motorized by knob instead of engines. This reflects that a ride on it demands a bit of an exercise than mere sitting idle. It assures good health.
Mahieddine planned this concept as a part of his project in high school and within no time he has turned this concept into a reality by making an association with the Numero Design agency. Truly, this Mahieddine’s solar cum human powered concept boat would be asking its right payment for accurate ease, it guarantees.

The LongRanger electric bike will grab the attention of those who are adventurous but nurse a fear of suffering a burnout. Well, this bike is a hybrid between the electric motor assisted mountain bike and the fully street legal electric motorcycle or scooter. It lets you travel great distances at the speed of a regular human powered bicycle. Yes, the LongRanger looks and feels very much like the mountain bike your mountaineer friends ride. It can tread on biked vehicles.
This bike can travel over 62 miles on a single charge at a speed that was earlier thought to be the prerogative of a top-athlete alone. And it does so without adding an inch of pollution or even noise to the environment. Built around a battery pack, it can have a hub motor of your choice. Ditto for the base vehicle suit, top speed, acceleration, weight and range.
The LongRanger is a great way to commute long or short distances while relishing the mysteries of nature. The best part is that in most parts of the world, you do not even need a license to ride a small electric bicycle.

Idaho National Laboratory (INL) and Microcontinuum Inc. (Cambridge, MA) conducted a research that promises a method that will produce an inexpensive solar technology. It will draw energy even after the sun sets. The deal is to have solar cells imprinted on flexible materials with the help of special nanoantennas that are stamped on flexible materials like plastic. These nanoantennas can absorb 80% of available energy as compared to the current solar panels which covert less than 20% of usable energy into electricity.
Each nanoantenna has a spiral form with a diameter that is 1/25 of human hair enabling them to absorb energy in the infrared section of the spectrum. The sun radiates a lot of infrared energy, a part of which is absorbed by the planet and released after the sun has set. Nanoantennas take in energy from both sunlight and the earth’s heat. So, it is a more efficient solar product.
However, there is a catch. Manufacturing nanoantennas is not one of them. Actually, there is a problem of creating a way that can store and transmit the electricity produced by nanoantennas. This electricity has the frequency of current switching back and forth ten thousand billion times in a second. Now, this is too fast for electrical appliances that work on currents oscillating 60 times in a second.

Designer and engineer Amit Zoran’s creative thinking resulted in the creation of a two-wheeler with wheels that have the mobility to move around the center mass in such a way that they can be parallel or in a row.
The wheels are powered by a technologically updated linear electronic engine installed within. He aimed to design such a vehicle that contained both possibilities. Quite a brave thought, really. So while handling the project, he had to deal with an extremely complex vehicle from the aesthetics point of view and did not provide a detailed engineering solution based on the assumption that the idea is a complicated one from an engineering point of view, but applicable.
During work on the project, Zoran realized the difficulty in getting the full mobility of this mobike. And here is the catch. When discovering the loopholes in his ideas, Zoran did not give up. Instead, ended up making a design which was different from the original idea. But yes, there is indeed creativity in finding solutions for original developments. Are there any takers?
