The Arctic Marine Fauna is not just a commercial construction like a railway link or a bridge bonding one continent to another, this proposal entails more audacious, active and sensitive issues considering the amplitude, geopolitical context and the global ecological conscience.
Because of the relatively shallow water levels of the Straits, the proposed structure can descend to the base of the ocean with just a few meters floating over the water level. Compression is the main working principal of this structure that features two parallel walls cut through the adjoining water bodies, held apart with bracing, which is habitable at times. Each wall is 10 meters wide and respectfully provides vehicle and train infrastructures at its apex. The trait is used only to give simplicity to this massive structure that features a direct line to connect the two sides.

[Update] HST II is a concept long-distance road haulage envisioned to transport high volume containerized and palletized cargo units with a proposed overall 29 meters of length and 65 tonnes of maximum gross combination weight. If you still remember our post about HST, than you can see that HST II is a better version from the previous HST Truck. This vehicle can be operated with a comprehensive yet straightforward computer just like a modern passenger car. The large 2.90 meters long cab provide a comfortable living and working environment that cannot be imagined in the contemporary trucks. Aside from the considerably larger size, HST II is different from usual articulated trucks by extraordinary fuel efficiency, a higher level of safety, extensively improved driving experience, enhanced infrastructural and environmental considerations.

The Muecke, name driven from mosquito, is a concept single seater easily transportable lightweight helicopter which is actually a combination of lower weight and fewer flying costs. The design comprises three stands instead of wheels to balance the chopper when grounded and a short tail without the conventional rotor. This small chopper will meet the need of ultimate personal aviation, proposed to be powered through a turbine driven by the shaft and features counter rotating blades. Therefore, a tail rotor is no longer required for this chopper to change directions; rather it utilizes the movable paddles at the tilt of the rotor blades. With the production of this helicopter, the recreational aviation market surely will boost up to an extraordinary level.

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.
