Solas is a uniquely designed two seater electric car concept that uses inner solar cells as energy source. The inner solar cells are placed into individual hexa structured solar panels and each panel is fabricated with light amplified material to make it more efficient. The hexa structured organization has also the advantage of lessening damage when an accident occurs. The body of Solas is made of transparent materials that ensures easy passing of solar energy. The wheels of this car are the most uncommon part in comparison with any other concept vehicles and each of them includes independent electric motors.

Cherry is an innovative way of transportation concept which is neither a bike nor a bicycle but still can offer the similar functionality with more facilities. Inspired by the natural shape of Cherry, the front part of this concept is bigger since this is the motion producing part and the rear part is at the minimum dimensions which results comfortable ride and lighter and smarter outlook. This vehicle will offer you less energy requirement, strong performance, balance of three wheels, pleasure of motorcycle, adjustable driving position and customizable parts. It will provide you reduced maintenance cost because of the few and simple parts and zero emission and no pollution due to the plug-in batteries and electric motor.

The flexible OLED screen of EOS folding phone concept from Kyocera is able to change its shape from a clamshell to close like a clutch-purse or a wallet. Appealing to our humanistic senses, a semi-rigid and soft polymer skin is used surrounding the flexible OLED display. This flexible screen allows greater adaptability of shape and interaction by maintaining a compact shape for simple use and unfolds to access a large widescreen display. The most incredible thing is the EOS charges through a collection of nano-scale piezoelectric generators that can create energy when a user interacts with this device.
The Kyocera EOS can be used in its folded-up shape for simple phone calls, unfolds to reveal a wide screen, and we were excited to hear that the it derives its energy from human interaction. The more you use the phone, the more kinetic energy is turned into an electric charge through an array of tiny piezoelectric generators. In other words, you’ll never have to worry about leaving the house with a semi-charged cell phone again.

Novague, a Prague design studio, have proposed a rocking chair concept that will be able to produce enough power for a reading light by converting the rocking motion into electricity. The LED lamp is empowered by a dynamo that can convert the mechanic energy acquired by the movement of the chair into electric energy. A simple steam engine like kinematic mechanism is set under the seat which works with a sliding lever that pulls a flywheel disc while the chair rocks. Produced energy is either supplied to the LED lamp or deposited in the batteries for later use. The aim of the principle is to develop the awareness among mass people of producing their required energy easily by themselves.

The concept of Eol’eau has two major working principles: collecting rain water and then generating electricity by using the wind energy with implementing a wind generator. The water tank resides in the base with a capacity of 600 liter. Eol’eau offers a prospect to water flowers, fields and large areas with more convenience than other traditional watering-pot. There is also a water pump to pressurize the system allowing the device to connect with rubber hose and apply it for automatic watering. Lamps for lightening purpose can also be added since it can produce electricity. These features surely will be noteworthy in the near future of ecology.
