It is not very often that luxury Yachts are eco-friendly. In fact, it has been only in the last couple of years that such a trend has come about with eco-conscious consumers forcing manufacturers to blend in green features along with the lavish elements. DSe Hybrid Yacht amalgamates luxury along with some spectacular looking solar panels to give the environmentally friendly folk something to be happy about. The yacht has all the ultra-modern features to pamper your senses and still has an integrated engine that runs on a combination of solar and conventional energy.

If this was not dubbed as real, one could have sworn that this was something that is just a little prop used in a B-Grade Hollywood movie where walking structures from alien planet come and swallow us up. But the world’s first Walking House is built for those who like to get a move on with their lives. Build on a set of six hydraulic-powered legs; this really looks like a monster from a bad nightmare. But the new mobile home is far better and a lot more planet-friendly than conventional homes and could very soon be an integral part of our world.

We often witness people around us making efforts keep electricity and water at two different poles and little does we realize that the electric engine revolution is spreading like a virus in the boating world as well. But if you happen to be riding over the speedboat on water then there cannot be a better power source than sun. Featured above is the Czeers MK1 model solar speedboat, a 30-knot photovoltaic dream in luscious shades of carbon fiber, solar cell and lush orange leather. Dutch founders claim it to the world’s first solar speedboat.

The Delft Technical University Solarboat Team designed this original platform to enter into the 2006 Nuon Frisian Solar challenge, which they finally won and then started evolved their interest in attracting serious investment power from Rabobank to develop a full scale test boat.

The resulting test boat is structured using 100% carbon fiber inlaid with leather trim, photovoltaic cells on roughly all flat surfaces and an LCD touch-screen control system, unveiled at the Millionaire Fair in 2007, claims to make up to 30 knots on water. The 10-meter boat can be packed in 14 square meters of solar panels and an 80kw electric motor. It runs without oil and produces no fumes or engine noise and rides in a truly fashionable style.

You should not restrict the worth of a solar panel to its utility factor as its aura and artistic exquisiteness gives enough reason to install it in courtyard. If you wish to enjoy tea in an open sky (in garden) then SOLo Lounge Table would bring an end to your search. It is elite in design, appeal and utility. But so are others then why ink deal with this? Correct! I respect your thought and thus would give you a justified reason to debar every other table. It doesn’t occupying the empty space in your lounge but also is feature packed with a USB, lighter and standard 3 prong outlets; thereby allowing you to charge your electronic devices (laptops and other portable devices) without plugging them in.

This pioneering table makes use of Bluetooth technology to gather, allocate and display information on both the tabletop LCD display screen and between computers and internet. It works like this: The silicon cells rooted on its glass surface accumulates the solar energy and then very efficiently converts it into electricity. It is efficient to harness over 17 kilowatts of solar energy every year.

This amount of energy is suffice to charge your mobile phone almost 300 times and laptop by 200 times. It would surely achieve its deserving visibility in the coming years to come via its contributing share to green drive.
