The EMBRIO Advanced Concept

The EMBRIO Advanced Concept is a one-wheeled recreational and commuting vehicle for the year 2025, designed by the Canadian company Bombardier Recreational Products. Although the riding position is similar to that of a motorcycle, the vehicle uses sensors and gyroscopes to balance up to two passengers on a large single wheel whilst driving. Specifications and pictures of this weird motorcycle are showed below:

Although the vehicle will also remain stable when motionless, with two small front wheels deployed at speeds below 20 kilometres per hour (12.5 mph). To move forward, the rider activates a trigger on the left handlebar. At a speed of 20 kilometres per hour (12.5 mph) the front wheels or “landing gear” retracts so the rider is balancing on the large single wheel. To turn the rider leans to the left or right. The brake is activated by a trigger on the right handlebar. Fuel cells running on hydrogen provide electricity for the electric motor which drives the single wheel.

Boat Raksasa Bertenaga Surya


Solar is all the rage these days with everyone from home owners to big corporations getting in on the act. So when it comes to news about solar projects one can get kind of jaded and then this comes along.
The ‘this’ that I am talking about is PlanetSolar which is billing itself as the world’s largest solar powered boat. As a boat it is a catamaran that measures 101ft long, 49ft wide and is designed to reach a top speed of 15 knots (17 mph). It is also supposed to be able to carry 50 passengers.
Power wise the PlanetSolar gets all its running power from 5,381 sq ft of photovoltaic solar cells which will be used in a planned trip around the world in 2011. Until then here’s a few images to give you an idea of the size of this beast.

11 Mobil Konsep Keren yang dapat diproduksi secara massal



ford_airstream_concept_3 Concept cars came back - with a vengeance - after World War II when America entered a golden age of prosperity and rising expectations. Nothing said "New!" like the annual GM Motorama shows, where the public caught a glimpse of radical new designs and often bizarre trends like soaring tailfins, glass bubble-tops and chrome, well, everywhere! Today, concept cars are like fixtures of the automotive world, showcasing new ideas, designs and features, but most of them never make it to the street. What if they did?

Let's look at eleven of the most exciting modern day concept cars and, as we admire their lithe lines and futuristic features, dream a little...

11. Ford Airstream concept

Anyone old enough to remember Airstream trailers? This striking new Ford concept isn't anything like them, don't worry! A fixture of the 2007 auto show scene, the Airstream concept previews the crossover vehicle of the future. Look beneath the Airstream's awesome appearance and you'll find a new plug-in hydrogen hybrid fuel cell called HySeries Drive that provides continuous electric power without the need for fossil fuels.

10. Toyota i-Real concept

The i-Real takes "personal transportation" to the next level while blurring the line between car and scooter. Not those Razor Scooters beloved by teens, I mean those electric rolling chairs beloved by oldsters. As the Baby Boom morphs into the Elderly Explosion, a vehicle like the I-Real could find itself in great demand. It looks cool, is controlled by joysticks and it's a Toyota - sounds like a sure winner!

9. Nissan NV200 concept

The Nissan NV200 concept is the neatest thing since sliced bread - it even features a unique pull-out storage module that slides out from the rear doors like a loaf of bread from a plastic bag. In effect, the NV200 turns storage inside out... or is that outside in? Any way - you say it, Nissan's designers have offered a new option that could be just the thing for certain niche professions. Pictured below, is a concept fit for ocean photographers.

8. Mazda Ryuga concept

It's not often that design and engineering complement each other without compromise, and the Mazda Ryuga concept is an exquisite expression of creative cooperation! With its flowing lines, gullwing (more like bat-wing) doors and retro-futuristic interior, the Ryuga is simply stunning any way you look at it. Are there any practical reasons for bringing the Ryuga from concept to concrete? Maybe not... but humanity's desire to make dreams come true has to be respected. Zoom zoom? Yes please!

7. Acura NSX Advanced Sports Car concept

The Acura NSX was Honda's interpretation of a Ferrari-esque supercar, and it sold in modest numbers from 1990 to 2005 without much in the way of appearance or engineering changes. That was then, this is now... the Acura NSX Advanced Sports Car Concept picks up where the old NSX left off - in fact, Honda's CEO announced the new NSX's development program within days of the previous model's last production day. Though only a concept car at the moment, the Acura NSX Advanced Sports Car Concept should hit the streets later this year. Features include a Formula One-inspired V10 motor and the SH-AWD (Super Handling All Wheel Drive) system currently used in the Acura RL. Here's hoping Honda follows through on their promises!

6. Toyota FT-HS Hybrid Sports Car concept

Hybrids... they're the queens of the green, clean fuel-sippin' scene. They're NOT mean drivin' machines, however, but all that may change if Toyota has anything to do with it - and they do. The FT-HS Hybrid Sports Car concept is not your grandmother's Prius though it's still powered by a hybrid motor. The difference is, the motor in the FT-HS can push the sleek 2-door coupe to 60 mph in 4 seconds flat! If the rumors are true, the FT-HS is the forthcoming replacement for the Toyota Supra.

5. Lexus LF-A concept

As hot as the Toyota concept cars may be, some of the ideas bubbling out of Lexus are even hotter! That's how it should be, since Lexus is Toyota's premier brand and has a lofty image to uphold. With the LF-A concept, that image is set to fly even higher. This concept is "on track" to be produced as a 2009 model and let's just hope the track has no obstacles. Is the LF-A going to be the next - or rather the first - Lexus supercar? A mid-engine layout with perfect weight distribution, rear-mounted radiators and a top speed of over 200 mph answers that question emphatically - YES!

4. McLaren M Eleven B concept

How do you improve upon the best? That was the question put to students of the Istituto Europeo di Design's Transport Design course, who were asked to design an updated version of McLaren's legendary supercar, the F1. Hailed as one of the finest iterations of the supercar class ten years ago, the F1 is still relatively unmatched in virtually every category. Students at the Turin, Italy based school were asked to design the next-gen McLaren supercar, using a mid-engine format, a 200 mph top speed and the ultimate in road-going performance. The winner of the competition was the M Eleven B. Will it be built? As long as there are those who demand the very best, the M Eleven B will find a market at any price.

3. Maybach Excelero concept

Maybach is Mercedes-Benz's icing on the automotive cake and the Excelero, of which only a single concept has been made, is the crèm de la crème. The Excelero certainly looks formidable, and it's got the power to back it up - though it's hard to imagine this car ever backing up! But I digress... a twin-turbo, 5.9 litre V12 engine puts out an awe-inspiring 700 hp. Can the tires take it? Who cares - if you're in the Excelero's target market, tires are not your concern.

2. Toyota Volta concept

Toyota seems intent on banishing the hybrid car's meek image for good - and the Volta hybrid sportscar concept is very, very good indeed! The Volta takes the basic hybrid engine blueprint and squeezes every bit of potential out of it. The result? A 435-mile cruising range and an, er, electric 0-60 mph time of 4 seconds flat! Most enticing, the Volta features a unique drive-by-wire control system that allows any of the three - yes, three - front seat occupants to assume control of the vehicle just by having said controls moved in front of them. Memo to Toyota... make the Volta, please!!

1. GMC Denali XT concept

Oil crisis, what oil crisis? If the radically styled GMC Denali XT concept could talk, that's what it would likely say - and it would find a lot of ears ready to listen! Should this beautiful brute actually make it into production, an entire fleet of Hummers, Excursions and Suburbans is going to look really old, really fast. Best of all, though the Denali XT concept looks like a fuel-hog, it really isn't - and that's notwithstanding the 326 horsepower, 4.9 litre V8 ensconced beneath its sculptured hood. Flex-fuel capability, direct fuel injection and GM's proven Active Fuel Management system delivers twice the fuel economy of a standard setup. The Denali XT concept is one mean, green machine!

x08cc_gm006_opt x08cc_gm002_opt 2008-GMC-Denali-XT-i006


These eleven exceptional concept cars prove beyond a doubt that the auto industry is thriving under the combined pressures of competition, regulation and market saturation. It takes a lot to get yourself noticed in this type of environment, and the world's creative designers, engineers and marketers know it - and are doing something about it. Hey, they've got my attention... and if they bring these classy concepts into mass production, they just might get my order!

Baterai Ramah Lingkungan

ruangberkas.com_imagesJika Anda menenggok ke sekitar anda sekarang, hampir bisa
dipastikan anda akan menemukan barang-barang yang mengunsumsi energi. Katakanlah Laptop, Handphone, MP3 Player, Modem, dll. Kondisi anda ini juga berlaku pada puluhan juta orang didunia. Berapa banyak energi yang dikonsumsi untuk
mendukung aktifitas benda-benda tersebut akan jadi pertanyaan
berikutnya.

Kenyataan saat ini kita masih lebih banyak bergantung dengan
energi yang dihasilkan dari sumber daya yang tidak terbaharui, Sudah saatnya untuk mengarahkan teknologi kepada sesuatu yang ramah lingkungan dan dengan biaya yang lebih murah juga.

Seperti prototype produk-produk berikut ini :
Cheers Finger, merupakan charger yang bisa memproduksi energi dengan cara memutar mutarnya di jari anda.



Cyclus Portable Power Generator, merupakan alat pemproduksi energi yang dengan
menggunakan kinetic energy, didesain oleh Satoshi Yanagisawa. Alat ini merupakan
alternative lain dari teknologi ramah lingkungan yang menggunakan energi matahari maupun angin yang kadang tidak bisa didapatkan ketika kita butuhkan.

Greensburg, Kota Bencana menjadi Kota Hijau


Greensburg adalah sebuah kota yg terletak di Kansas di bagian tengah Negara Amerika Serikat. Jumlah penduduknya adalah 1574 jiwa pada sensus tahun 2000. Di malam hari pada tanggal 4 Mei 2007, Greensburg diterjang oleh angin tornado besar yang datang secara cepat dan tiba-tiba, sehingga 95 % dari kota tersebut mengalami kehancuran. Angin tornado tersebut juga menewaskan 13 orang penduduk. Dan seketika itu Greensburg menjadi sebuah kota mati atau kota hantu.
Dan akan sangat mudah bagi para pendudunya untuk pergi dan meninggalkan kota tersebut. Tetapi dewan kota memutuskan untuk mengubah tragedi ini menjadi sebuah kesempatan: mereka memutuskan bahwa mereka akan membangun kembali kota, dan setiap struktur kota itu akan dibangun dengan standar LEED Platinum.

Greensburg benar-benar hancur setelah diterjang tornado tersebut. Bagi para penduduk, itu adalah badai terbesar yg pernah mereka lihat dalam hidup mereka. Kecepatan tornado pada waktu itu adalah 205 mil perjam dan lebarnya mencapai 1,7 mil, lebih lebar daripada lebar kota itu sendiri.
 
Setelah kehancuran yang mengerikan, anggota dewan kota menghabiskan 12 minggu melelahkan untuk mengembangkan rencana pemulihan. Mereka
memutuskan bahwa dana untuk bantuan darurat akan lebih baik untuk membuat kota itu lebih berkelanjutan dan layak untuk ditempati. Sebelum badai, orang-orang muda sudah pindah berbondong-bondong dan tidak ada yang datang untuk
menggantikan mereka. Hal tersebut dikarenakan kurangnya kesempatan mendapatkan ekonomi yg baik di kota tersebut dan para pejabat kota takut bahwa hari-hari kota Greensburg tinggal menunggu waktu saja.
Setelah badai yg sangat dasyat tersebut Greensburg diberi kesempatan yg tidak biasa untuk membangun kota mereka . Para penduduk tidak hanya akan membangun kembali kota mereka, mereka akan membangun kembali dengan teknik hijau modern dan bahan-bahan yang sederhana tidak tersedia pada saat kota itu didirikan. Mereka akan membangun kota eco pertama di dunia.
 
Mewajibkan semua bangunan kota untuk mematuhi standar LEED Platinum membuat Greensburg menjadi kota pertama di Amerika Serikat yang benar-benar menjadi “hijau” secara keseluruhan. Para pemilik rumah didorong untuk membangun rumah mereka mengikuti standar lingkungan yang tinggi.
 
 
Selain membangun kembali struktur yg rusak menjadi baru, kota ini juga membangun sebuah “ladang angin” untuk menyediakan energy yang bersih bagi kota. Selain itu sekolah ramah lingkungan yang baru dibuka untuk para siswa. Sebuah inkubator bisnis (bertempat di sebuah gedung yang indah dan ramah lingkungan, tentu saja) juga dibangun untuk membantu masyarakat setempat memulai dan mempertahankan bisnis yang akan membuat hidup menjadi lebih baik baik ke masa depan Greensburg.
 
Perumahan dan sektor komersial kota telah selesai dibuat ulang dan dilahirkan kembali. Warga yang menghabiskan lebih dari dua tahun, tinggal di trailer Darurat FEMA pindah ke rumah baru mereka yang ramah lingkungan, dan sekolah-sekolah dan bisnis di kota akhirnya kembali normal. Sebuah taman mendorong warga masyarakat untuk bekerjasama untuk membuat setiap rumah dan setiap keluarga menjadi lebih sehat. Bahkan beberapa warga yang memutuskan untuk meninggalkan Greensburg setelah tornado kembali untuk tinggal di kota yang telah direvitalisasi.
 
 
 
 
Pejabat kota percaya bahwa kota ini akan dibangun kembali sepotong demi sepotong, orang akan terus menghargai dan meningkatkan rumah hijau baru mereka . Sejak tornado mengerikan, warga secara konsisten memperbaiki dan meningkatkan setiap aspek kota
