In the year 2015, hopefully we can find Beyflo in every house with a garden. This garden watering system idea was to create a product that relate to domestic ritual activity. Beyflo have the ability to navigate itself and charge its water and electric. The power is located on top, make it easier for users to turn it on/off. Plants location is not a problem for Beyflo, because it can reach further by increasing its water pump pressure.
The main body case is made from ABS, this is due to the outdoor and the rough terrain in the garden that need extra durability. Using PCB as its central processing unit, makes Beyflo can control the motor, pump, and power portion to each component.

To address the increasing verticality of urban centers and the zero impact mentality, Natalie Bonebrake started by raising the transport of the terrain thus removing its footprint. The vehicle hangs from a magnetic levitation track; this removes the need for the vehicle to have an on-board power source eliminating localized emissions, except for the electromagnetic radiation and dramatically lightening the vehicle. There is also an option for a drive train for tracking use.
Once in the pod, a destination is entered and the rail system powers the pod through the city along the appropriate route. This allows the users the comfort of taxi or subway but without all the waiting and expensive fairs.Alone the pod allows the users to travel effortlessly through the city, but once connected to the chassis it becomes even more dynamic! This system allows the user to enjoy the freedom of having a car without all the responsibilities of having a car!
