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.

Whilst yesterday, we put you across TVA Gazelle, a four-wheeled hybrid car cum bike and today we have another concept called Suzuki Crosscage. The latter is a grand looking lightweight automobile that is a true hydrogen fuel cell and electric hybrid. Its compressed nature offers a power output equivalent to a 125cc engine. A singular hydrogen tank will offer you a 200 kilometers ride, which is good for commuting. It features a gearless transmission and a silent engine due to the power source. It name stands on the cross-shaped cage used to defend the hydrogen tank.

Reports reveal that the machine is awfully narrow and runs on particularly urbanized Bridgestone tires with 17-inch alloy wheels. Its gauge cluster is completely active with an LCD analog-style speedometer positioned in the navigation neck and second digital cluster on the handlebars. I am jealous of those Euro guys who would have an opportunity to ride over it.

For past couple of months, the localities of Tilburg in the Netherlands got bore hearing about the artistic creation of rotating house by renowned architect John Körmeling. Seemingly weird, the making of the project took nearly a decade and its pro-active nature involves a 360 degree churn by standing on the smack dab in the Hasselt roughly. The dot has been chosen to feature artistc creation and the parody is it is being witnessed as the essential gateways to the city. Driven by solar panels, the full-scale model house (5 meters wide, 8.5 meters deep and 10 meters high) starts its rotation in the direction of the traffic and completes a single revolving every 20 hours, which is been seen as a disturbing factor for visitors commuting all the way from remotest corner of the world. The house is unoccupied, but if a drunken bum happens to enter it then he would be in for one hell of a menace.

Jump over for video:

Offering friendly look and feel, this house won’t be entertaining human habitation as it comprises of steel construction enclosed with red brick strips and tiles. Featuring front and back garden, the windows are made of plastic-coated glass with white window frames. The monumental creation by Körmeling would surely become a landmark for the cultural city of Tilburg. It would make its recognition not only at national space but would attain visibility at International geography as well. The house will lead to relations with the fair, traffic and emblematically reinstates the ribbon building characteristic of Tilburg. The anticipated budget for this artistic assignment amounts to € 350,000 excluding VAT.

The floor behavior and the groundwork will be approved out by the company Liebregts from Middelbeers and the structure of the house by the company Moker from Belgium. The house will be finalized by John Körmeling. The rotating apparatus will be primed by KMG from Neede.

Before you ponder over this dog-shaped animation and mistakenly doubt it as your kids’ toy, let me take the honor of introducing you to the form beyond function of this doggy robot. Designed and developed by HPI Corporation, it would surely be a product of difference against their line of radio-controlled cars and planes that serve as pricey deals for boys willing to grow.

Called the G-Dog, it follows the right design philosophy and claims to be quick and dexterous rather than lethargic like the late Sony Aibo robo-dog.

The company was actually in a dilemma to decide the look of a greyhound dog and has finally used the “RS304MD” Time To Live command /PWM controls that assures its speediness. HPI is planning to release four models of G-Dog robot in July.
