Automobile designers today are thinking beyond the available designs and technologies. The same is not just confined to the cars or bikes, but also to other means of transport like boats. This new concept boat by industrial designer Andrew Bedov, promises to be an eye catcher and designed with traffic stopping looks. The speed boat by its looks seems to be on the move even when it is standing on the shore. The length of a boat exceeds 30 meters with 30 knots as its maximum speed. The two tiered boat design is aerodynamic, which ensures that the boat cruises through waters while it cuts through air. Truly a marvelous design must say and only one word to describe it – WOW!

This new prototype that has been introduced is quite revolutionary of talks about the overall concept. The aim of the project was to develop a concept wherein the same is controlled by high performance motorcycle robots. With the bikes being driven by high power electric motor with a built in battery pack thus ensuring that the space available is utilized quite optimally. The balance of the vehicle is actively controlled by swinging the boom by the hydraulic actuators. Since the vehicle is driven by motorcycle robot, hence is far more accurate well not bad considering the fact that the promoters aim to break the records in the MotoGP circuit.

The new Phoenix concept designed by Sergio Loureiro, a Royal College of Art student in London, is some piece of work. This aerodynamic beauty is a sports car which runs on electricity with the overall concept being of reducing energy consumption. This is achieved as the vehicle adopts the alternate energy regeneration system inspired by technology used in dance floors. Here car has a central kinetic axis which with the movement of the vehicle generates power. The car is a complete beauty not just design wise but in motion as it puts to use the kinetic laws of physics for its basic functioning. So, one can say that it’s one piece of art.
