The world got its first personal takeoff landing (VTOL) vehicle called M400 Skycar, and the credit goes to Moller International. After all, for the first time, the concept is feasible and personally affordable. One can�easily say one had the gut feeling that such a vehicle would soon reach our houses and replace the regining automobile. In the same tune frankly, Moller has not surprised any of us. But we indeed are very happy to know that a company has given us a machine that is capable of VTOL with easy maintenance, cost effectiveness and reliability. Comparing the flying machine to top car brands like Ferrari, Porsche, Maserati and Lamborghini, the makers say that what use does the extreme aerodynamics and advanced engineering of the names listed be of any use when the speed limit is 60 mph and one is stuck in a traffic jam on a freeway? Hold your breath, because M400 Skycar can keep up a pace of 275 mph to 375 mph from your garage to your destination. In the process, achieving a... See less

The kitchen is one part of your home that is always as scattered as anything can get. But what about folks like us who fall short on the space at home?

red dot: best of the best red dot award: product design 2006 | A worthwhile companion The forms of bicycle lamps have always followed developments in the bicycle. The turn of the century, for instance, saw the advent of carbide lamps, which were unreliable and produced only weak illumination. Today, bicycle headlights and their designs are matched to ever more sophisticated bicycles and their forms correspond to the most recent bicycle models. The wind-powered bicycle headlight combines an innovative yet almost self-evident energy-producing technology with a reduced language of form. It is powered by converting the wind force produced by a moving bicycle into light. More precisely, the wind energy feeds a low-power yet extremely bright LED lamp with a DC voltage of 3.4 volts and 50mA. Thus, at night, the headlight offers good quality, powerful illumination of up to 1700 lux. Both a highly economical and ecological aspect of this design: the energy produced by the moving bicycle is... See less

Pegasus is an alternative solution to the current manually operated wheelchairs for paraplegic people.

A lot of wheelchair drivers do not feel disabled and experience similar dimensions to ordinary people. The intension of Pegasus is to break with the image and appearance of current wheelchairs. Pegasus allows an efficient movement in an upright position. A manual actuation in combination with an electric drive motor with gyroscopic sensors (segway inspired) allow the driver to maneuver in very small distance. See less

The only parts of golf I actually enjoy are teeing off, putting and driving around in the golf cart. What can I say, it's an exhilarating sensation to be able to drive a modified go-kart across someone else's perfect manicured lawn. Well thanks to the power of the sun, I can now get 33% more range while wandering the golf course looking for a ball with the cool new and very eco-friendly SunRay SX2 - Solar Powered Golf Cart ($9000). This solar-powered golf cart has 72 photovoltaic cells built into the roof to collect solar energy and extend the life of the battery system by 60% more than other electric golf carts. It has an incredible 49 mile range, which is approximately 10 rounds of golf, can achieve maximum speeds up to 24 mph and handle inclines of 28°. It's pretty cool as far as golf carts go, but if you really want to be green in between greens, try walking. See less

The 120-M.P.H. Electric Car This is the electric car that can accelerate from zero to 60 mph in 4.0 seconds to a top speed of 120 mph in one gear with no shifting thanks to its two electric motors -- smaller versions of the same kind found in diesel-electric locomotives -- that combine to produce over 1,000 lbf ft. of torque. No wider than most motorcycles at 39", it can fit in a 6' half-lane with more clearance than a semi-truck in a full 12' freeway lane, enabling you to negotiate traffic congestion where lane splitting is permitted. Its small size eliminates the need for parallel parking as it can park perpendicular to a curb without the need for a full space. The driver and passenger sit in tandem front and back seats that use four-point pilot seat belts with iner tia reels, similar to harnesses found in race cars, yet are easy to use. The cars chassis is made of stainless steel, and the chrome moly roll cage meets Sports Car Club of America racing standards for safety. The body... See less

Electric cars could soon be free. Well, free if you sign up for a six-year contract for batteries and charging, that is. A new company called Project Better Place aims to solve the biggest problems of electric cars — short range and long battery charge times. The company’s working with Renault to design a special electric car, similar to the Renault Z17 City Car concept pictured above. To power this pocket rocket, the project has raised $200 million to build a huge infrastructure of battery-charging locations in Israel and Denmark, replacing about one out of six parking spaces in the countries with the charging stands for its electric cars, letting drivers charge up their batteries on the go. For instant replenishment, there’s also a system akin to swapping out propane tanks for gas grills, using a network of 125 refueling stations where robotic mechanisms quickly replace easily-swapped batteries with freshly charged ones. Sounds like a great idea for a smaller country, but it’s going... See less
