Sea Raider is a futuristic concept boat that is specially designed for the next millennium. This entertaining boat comprises a friendly finished design and is powered with both fuel and solar energy. The inspiration of this boat came from racing cars along with few boats and most amazingly, Jack Sparrow, the leading role of ‘Pirates of the Carabian’. The solar energy panel is placed on the roof to offer direct contact with sunlight and there is a small pool at backside of the boat where the passengers can hang out with some fun fishing or just seat back and relax.

The innovative wind and solar powered hybrid street lamp concept can not only produce light by using renewable energy, also it’s a boost to an everyday object that can operate completely off-grid. This concept was derived from the effort of designers to create a more sustainable future that integrates a range of reusable energy technologies into everyday life objects. These lamps comprise a solar array connected with a wind turbine, and can produce up to 380W of power.
These wind/solar powered street lamps are fitted to locally made, usual galvanized steel poles and can be easily swapped with previous street lamps. The turbines can be either a horizontal axis wind turbine or a 2nd generation 300W vertical axis wind turbine. Two solar panels are mounted on the side of the pole that is capable of producing up to 80W of power.

Bionamic is a single seater, electrically powered concept speed car specially designed with stunning visual and great functionality. The black part on the body of this car is actually an active surface made of Carbon Nanotube Muscle Suit and the silver body part is passive elastic sheathing made of Carbon/Metal Nanotube Alloy. All over the active muscle suit, there are millions of energy cells lying on to get direct contact with sunlight. Moreover, the Ion Intake absorbs the ions from the environment and utilizes them to produce the required energy to run the car. This car is driven by two joysticks instead of conventional steering wheel and a good arrangement is there to keep the hands in right position when driving.

Considering the flood rescuing issue, Rez-Q has been developed to use it in post-flood conditions where the waters became calm, but the roads are still blocked. It can be deployed by boat or helicopter and numbered to track it throughout the rescue effort. Don’t take it as a simple watercraft; the different features of Rez-Q have made it a useful relief as well. This rescuer is opened by an immediate release lever in the boat’s back and the pneumatic cylinders open the kayak. An elastic urethane material stretches out from the main hull which gives the kayak an additional 3 feet of length. This light urethane is extremely UV stable, energy absorbing and abrasion resistant.
