Ryan Skelley conceived the concept of The Sunbeam Tiger during his Transportation Design course on Coventry University. It is an electric drivetrain with a pack of lithium-titanate battery which takes fewer times to charge than a lithium-ion battery. A fully charged battery can last around 4 hours along with the discretionary 3-phase charger which have made the maximum range of this car around 800 miles. Skelley has shown theoretically that the car can go 0-60 mph within 2.3 seconds and the top speed would be just around 160 mph. Moreover, the proposed materials for constructing the Sunbeam Tiger are extremely recyclable and eco-friendly.

These bins are designed to absorb heat of explosions, collects trash and recyclable materials in different compartments and there is a weather-proof LCD screen displaying news and travel information. These New Bombproof waste bins will be installed throughout London keeping in mind the city’s safety concerns. This is not a cheap or small project because each unit of bombproof bin will cost $50,000. Whenever there is a threat, the police remove public trash cans as a security measure because they can contain explosives but with these bins, police officials can be more relaxed.

Uber Shelter is an amazing concept for a portable housing unit that would help people in meeting their immediate shelter requirements created by disastrous events.

I believe these types of concepts are very useful for unpredictable disasters.
