From Vincent Callebaut Architects, this impressive project is meant to navigate through the rivers in Europe in order to clean water and make it drinkable. Its name comes from “Physalia physalis”, meaning “water bubble”. It is a project whose idea came from a major global issue which is the fact that one billion people nowadays don’t have access to drinking water. The giant bubble will actually be a floating garden, completely independent in terms of energy. It is said that the prototype will even make more energy than that consumed. Solar cells and a double pneumatic membrane will form the roof of the construction and similar technologies will be used in order to reach its energy goal. Inside there will be four amazing gardens called “Water”, “Earth”, “Fire” and “Air”. The giant Eco gadget, once built, will be present on the waters of Seine, Thames, Volga, Danube, Escaut. We do not know when this incredible looking structure will be let lose, however we are looking forward to it.

CES , Lenovo made its biggest splash since it acquired IBM’s PC division in 2005. Among the company’s new product announcements was the Ideapad U1 Hybrid–a category-busting laptop designed for the age of Transformers. From the outside, it looks like a curvy 11.6-inch netbook. But once you open it, you realize the screen pops right out of the body. When you hold the screen in your hands it becomes a touch screen tablet. Presto change-o. Yet, it gets better: when the screen is attached to the body of the netbook, it operates as a computer with an Intel Core 2 Duo processor, 4GB of RAM, Windows 7 and a 128GB solid state drive. But the screen is outside the body, it operates as an independent tablet computer, complete with a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor, a Linux OS, 512MB of RAM and 16GB of flash memory. The 2-for-1 U1 won’t ship to consumers until June, and should sell for about $1,000.

Just unveiled at the TED2009 conference, the Mission One from Mission Motors, a hi-tech California startup company, building what is about to be the world’s fastest production electric motorcycle. How fast? 150 mph. Range? 150 miles. Torque? 100 foot pounds, instantly available whether you’re standing still or cruising at 60 mph, no gears, just roll it on … I think the game just changed.

We don’t live in Utopia, traffic snarls and packed commutes are the stark realities that we live with. A lucky few get to satisfy their urge of zipping down empty streets, past peak hours. Those not so lucky, vent their fury by tinkering with their vehicles and displaying their prowess in arenas. Others like Norio slip into the fantasy world and conspire to ride/glide on a Jet Powered Bike!
