Personal Pod

The only word that describes traffic aptly is: BAD! Try this, ask your friend, partner or just anyone who uses a car…’how’s the traffic’, and like a chorus you will get only one reply: B A D. So what is the solution, do we buy fewer cars or use only public transportation? The debate and perceptions are endless! Till we come up with something concrete lets think about personalized commuting, where a traveler uses individual pods. The Folding Electric Vehicle is what I’m talking about.

As a green alternative, it’s compact and smart, plus it occupies less space. This means parking the vehicle will not be a problem. Better than ruining your business suit on a Segway, and definitely offering more protection! With zippies like this, traffic shouldn’t be so bad!

City Cycle

The 100% electric Monobike might not look very “mono” at first glance, but at higher speeds the rear wheel lifts, balancing only on the front portion of the bike. The design, which is really more of a “dicycle,” aims to relieve the congested roads of urban streets by providing a slim yet speedy solution for getting around the city. Its miniature size and unique design make it possible to park in a vertical position, further reducing the amount of space it takes up

Solar Floating Resort is conceptualized with an underwater observation bulb

After Pandora, floating islands have become quite a rage. And not it’s the time for Italian industrial designer Michele Puzzolante to create a conceptual floating luxury hotel suite. He says that it is "entirely self-powering thanks to the dye-sensitized solar cells" that are fitted into the vessel's walls. This "Solar Floating Resort" can house six resident passengers who can keep an eye on marine wildlife courtesy an underwater "observation bulb."

Measuring 20-m in length, the SFR features two double and two single bedrooms with private bathrooms. The resort also sports a kitchen, dining room, lounge area and bridge. The obligatory hot tub can be seen at the outer teak deck. The observation bulb built into the hull, will offer 60-degree views of the ocean. At this time though, technical details are sparse. However this is one resort I don’t mind taking a weekend break in!
