			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Green Speed concept is an air-fueled concept bike that features a zero pollution effect on the environment through greenhouse gas emissions and especially being cheap and willingly available. The rotary air engine is lightweight, compact and powerful and is powered by compressed air from the two compressed air tanks. Because of its 3000 RPM of the engine, this bike can run only on one gear which is actually a sprocket bolted to the engine axis and chained with the rear wheel. The carbon fiber tanks of the bike stores the compressed air, when mass is produced, the solar panel generated energy will compress air and amass them in the tanks. The bike doesn&#8217;t contain any kind of lightening like headlight, indicator light or brake lights; instead, it contains three tiny cameras.</p>

Text from the website:<br />
The engine that used is a rotary air engine. It is the invention of the Melbourne engineer  Angelo Di Pietro. The engine is compact, lightweight and powerful and runs on compressed air from two compressed air tanks on the bike. It revs up to 3,000 RPM, and because of this, the inventors didn’t need any gear box on the bike. There is only one gear, which is just a sprocket bolted directly to the axis of the engine and chained to the rear wheel.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.tuvie.com/wp-content/uploads/green-speed-motorcycle3.jpg" alt="green speed motorcycle" /></p>
<p>Compressed air is stored in the bike’s on-board carbon fiber tanks. Once mass produced, the bike will have solar panels that will generate enough energy to compress air and store it in the bike’s tanks, which will increase its range indefinitely.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.tuvie.com/wp-content/uploads/green-speed-motorcycle4.jpg" alt="green speed motorcycle" /></p>
<p>As the bike was designed as a speed record setter, there is no headlight, brake light or indicator lights on the bike. Instead, there were three little cameras fitted at the front and tail on the bike that are used to record the run. The body works were designed to be aerodynamic and lightweight, and it will be made of fiber glass or carbon fiber.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Mytho is an innovative and interesting private and public transportation idea focused on creating a better urban commuting for future. The design of this car is inspired mainly by all the iconic and traditional figures of SF. The very “American” design has a perfect touch of elegance and sophistication with a deep black and shiny silver color combination and a unique appearance from both front and rear end. The lightweight construction of Mytho has been achieved through using recyclable materials. The car features modern technologies like GPS and high speed internet connectivity that ensures the rider a safer and more convenient driving experience in new places.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://www.tuvie.com/wp-content/uploads/mytho-concept-car1.jpg" alt="mytho concept car" /></p>

<p><span id="more-5136"></span><br />
Victor says about Mytho :</p>
<blockquote><p>The MYtho, is a concept car designed to be simple, but at the same time sophisticated. With inspiration from vintage cars, like the woodies, i was able to find a sustainable design solution for the side panels, which are made of compressed wood also the whole body is made of aluminum, in order to be recyclable.</p>
<p>The &#8220;tech&#8221; factor is in it&#8217;s OLED displays, build-in solar cells, and HUD display&#8217;s for the driver.</p>
<p>The form of the car is very simple, like the hot rods from the 30&#8217;s. The open wheel design, the huge front grill, and the low profile of the car, are just some indicators of this.</p></blockquote>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Loop Vignette is an eco-friendly and lightweight 2-seater concept electric car designed for the next generation riders aiming to customize the mobility ideas with more closely associated lifestyle products, technological gadgetry and the Internet. The outcome is therefore a brand new, sophisticated, fun, desirable and most significantly affordable experience which the target customer can relate to.</p>

<p><span id="more-5063"></span><br />
The design comprises both economic and technical efficiency. The chassis is covered in an unpainted swappable plastic skin, which eliminates the painting stage. The placement of the rear wheels within the rear quarter panel offer improved aerodynamics. The rear and front façade of the car contains thin-film OLEDs under the colored polycarbonate surfaces, through which users can personalize parameters like day-running lights or graphically expressing themselves by adding custom decals. This feature will also eliminate the need of placing individual lights for turn indicators or brakes.</p>
<p>The dashboard has been kept minimal for individual movable components; rather it contains a huge touch screen where most of the interactions between the car and the rider will take place. While driving, users can keep their other works going on through the internet connectivity and share their driving experience through social networking websites.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Pulse is an innovative urban bike concept formed to meet all the standard necessities of bike commute. This bike features electric turn signals, located both on the edge of each handle and at the rear indicator light, that can be controlled form the handlebars and a glowing frame that lights up when the rider needs it. The specially designed caged pedals of this bike always remain in a “right way round” manner, which allows the rider not to suffer from having to clip into inconvenient conventional upside down pedals. <a href="http://www.pagegangster.com/p/hhbSM/">Pulse</a>, with its compact design and efficient functionalities, would be an ultimate transportation solution that is synchronized with the urban denizen needs.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Calypso is a concept sports car with aggressive and strong but yet simple design line inspired by the sharks. The cutting edge simple design of this single-seater sports car has made it unusual from others. But the key amazing feature of this car is the pulled out rear-view mirrors from the cars hood which will not only improve aerodynamics but the visual elegance of this car will also achieve a new level. This extraordinary rear-view mirror also includes left and right indicator light that allows easier and better sight for the other drivers. Altogether, the combination of stylish white body with black tinted glass, this car will be appreciated by any sports lovers.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The mantra today for all the designers is go green as more and more products are being designed keeping in mind the E factor. Like The Go Rack designed by Indian designer Abhinav Dapke, it&#8217;s an OLED strip with a solar panel. The two aluminum members are connected like clothes rack and have a solar panel on its back which can be placed in the sunlight for charging. And the charging hours can be seen through the indicator placed on the edge of the cloth. Once the charging is achieved one can bring it indoors and can be placed it on its base and the functioning can be controlled by a regulator.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Maintaining the dishwasher and getting the dirty utensils cleaned can be so exhausting. Well here comes bubble! A new concept dishwasher which can be said to be a powerhouse performer packed in the small size. It cylindrical in shape with pores all over and it operates when submerged in water where it needs to be kept in the sink. During operation the LED indicator light turns blue i.e. while washing, and after the work is one the same changes to green. Also there are three different work stages for different types of washing. With a rechargeable Lithium ion battery that allows to be working under submerged conditions. So just wash away your worries with this dishwasher.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Icon A5 aircraft is a 2-seater sports airplane for the masses. It is solely designed for personal use. ICON A5 is lighter in weight and is amphibious with retractable landing gear for flying off in both water and land. Different features of this aircraft include carbon fiber airframe, folding wings, and unique engine that allow it to run on both aviation gas and auto. Now you do not need think of any destination in order to spend your vacations because ICON A5 can make your coming vacations unforgettable and absolutely safe. It is safe because it has propeller guard and built-in parachute that can be easily used in case of any emergency, very useful aircraft.</p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://imagesme.net/tuvie/icon-a5-sport-aircraft1.jpg" alt="ICON A5 sport aircraft" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://imagesme.net/tuvie/icon-a5-sport-aircraft2.jpg" alt="ICON A5 sport aircraft" /></p>
<p><span id="more-635"></span><br />
From the website:<br />
<em> Introducing a new dimension to sport flying.</em></p>
<p><em>A new, light sport aircraft manufacturer, ICON Aircraft, started with the vision that planes should be designed with the consumer in mind first. Founded out of Stanford Graduate School of Business by Kirk Hawkins, an accomplished engineer and former U.S. Air Force F-16 pilot, ICON Aircraft conducted years of thorough research to develop an industrial design that has evolved to become ICON’s first model, the ICON A5.</em></p>
<p><em>A long-time powersports enthusiast, Hawkins’ dream for the potential of sport flying became possible when he first heard of the FAA’s rule changes for light sport aircraft in 2004. As he witnessed what the Yamaha Waverunner did for personal watercraft in 1980’s, Hawkins believed a consumer-oriented sport plane could do the same for recreational flying.</em></p>
<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://imagesme.net/tuvie/icon-a5-sport-aircraft3.jpg" alt="ICON A5 sport aircraft" /></p>
<p><em>Early on, Hawkins began assembling investors and world-class design and engineering talent to bring the vision to reality. ICON Aircraft eventually set up its headquarters and development facility in Southern California, a region known for having the world’s largest concentration of aerospace resources as well as the world’s leading automobile design and development resources.</em></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>When you have allergy, this device can be pretty handy for you. Sensix is a  monitoring and response system for children susceptible to severe allergic  reactions. It includes three age-specific monitors that are physically and  aesthetically suited to each age group. When an allergic reaction occurs, the  monitor alerts parents or caregivers while simultaneously identifying the  location of the child and the medicine.</p>
<p>The automated  epinephrine injector device is more compact, rugged and convenient than a  standard EpiPen. It also notifies users when injectors need to be replaced. The  system works in concert with proposed food labeling standards that would use  graphical icons and colors on packaging to identify potential allergens before  an exposure occurs. Essential, the company that designed Sensix won a bronze International Design Excellence Award for our Sensix Allergy Alert System design concept.</p>

<strong>Sensix Tot Monitor</strong></p>
<p>The period of uncertainty that precedes the confirmation of a severe food allergy can be stressful for parents of an infant or toddler, especially when the child begins to attend day care. This body monitor will alert parents and caretakers to any major change in body chemistry through light and audible alarms. A parent applies the monitor to their child via a soft disposable decal to ensure constant skin contact.</p>

<p><strong>Sensix Child Monitor</strong></p>
<p>This wristband is a constant companion for children who are frequently under varied adult supervision. The colored bands identify the wearer&#8217;s specific allergies and passively notify others that certain foods may trigger an allergic reaction. The noninvasive blood sensor actively monitors physiological indicators for early signs of a severe anaphylactic episode.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://imagesme.net/tuvie/sensix-alergy-alert-system6.jpg" alt="sensix alergy alert system" /></p>
<p><strong>Sensix Teen Monitor</strong></p>
<p>This advanced Sensix model eases the transition to independence for pre-teens and teens who are beginning to make their own decisions about diet and exercise. The detailed display helps build the correlation between symptoms and their associated physiological changes that is critical when managing a severe allergy in adulthood. The aesthetics of the Sensix monitors helps ease the stigma that children may face from their peers when trying to manage a severe food allergy.</p>

<p style="text-align: center"><img src="http://imagesme.net/tuvie/sensix-alergy-alert-system8.jpg" alt="sensix alergy alert system" /></p>
<p><strong>Sensix Injector</strong></p>
<p>An epinephrine injector is useful only when it is available in a time of emergency, and the Sensix model is designed with portability and convenience as a priority. The Sensix injector is therefore more rugged and portable than current solutions. It can be carried in a pocket, clipped to a backpack, or stored in pouches designed to carry mobile phones.</p>
<p>The injector can also help parents ensure that the child has the injector in their possession by sounding an optional alarm when the monitor and injector are separated.</p>
