This new concept by Jason Hill and Nathan Armstrong is carrying forward the philosophy identified in Aptera 2e. This environmentally sound beauty made for zipping on the waters is a concept that Tamarack Lake Electric Company would like to be associated with. The energy variant in this boat is solar powered Loon and this giving the boat a new signature look. Also since, the twin hulls have been integrated to the deck, it is more rigid but the weight is also kept on the lower side. The best thing being that everything right from the wood to the solar panels all are made of eco friendly material. A nice and cool design though!

If looks could kill, then the new concept car Helios by Kim Gu-Han can be said to be a killer. On the first look it looks more like a frill necked lizard waiting for its prey which is nothing but cells to soak solar energy. By looks of it, one can say that the designer has been inspired by nature as just like the reptiles spread its wing out to control the temperature and the solar energy is captured in the same. It’s an electric car, powered by solar energy and when in motion, it is more of a sleek vehicle with traffic stopping looks.

The new bonsai like PhotonSynthesis designed by designer Vivien Muller is a device which seems straight out of designer text books. The device consists of 54 mini photovoltaic leaf panels which are needed for charging various gadgets. The connecting power cords are hidden beneath the tray that holds the overall plant. The so called branches of this tree consist of solar panels which store the electric energy from the sun in the battery which can be produced at the time of recharging the electric device. Thus it’s a nice utilization of natural resources to take care of our daily needs though it’s tempting enough to say that power does grow on trees.
