This beautifully designed building project looks pretty impressive and especially the looks given to it are stunning.

4. The Eco-Egg sky scraper

The green egg is now being implemented on green structures. The sky scrapers out there are mostly considered to be a major cause of pollution due to the various toxic elements used in their construction. And not only this, they are also estimated to be a major element in terms of carbon footprints released. So this new green technology building can be a good alternative. This huge green building is made completely Eco-friendly and also is capable of generating green energy using the renewable energy system installed in it.

5. Stackable public transport

The next big thing in the green industry is the green and Eco-friendly cars that are not only designed to keep up the green nature but are also designed to reduce the crowd and the space covered during the parking place. These are the stackable public transport vehicles which are capable of considerably reducing the parking space by a whopping 30%. Not only this, the vehicles are completely Eco-friendly and come along in cool and stylish looks which are pretty hard to ignore. These vehicles are also provided with the basic requirements of a car and also have a two-seater capacity.

Sony develops eco friendly battery powered by waste paper

If you think the walkman was Sony’s greatest innovation, think again. The Japanese multinational electronic giant has upped its game once again and this time it has brought us a great planet-saving idea. Sony has developed a new kind of battery that can be run using paper. Paper which we all thought was only gonna be used for wrapping food, since we do all our paperwork via texts and emails in the new millennium!

Paper powered bio battery

Engineers from the corporation debuted the technology last week at the Eco-Products 2011 exhibition in Tokyo where they showcased an improved bio-battery that uses paper to make energy. In the demo, Sony’s engineers used some paper pulp (something like what we all used to make papier-mâché in art class) and put it into a mixture of water. The bio-reaction produced was the combo enough to power a small fan at the demo.

Created by researchers at Sony, this bio-battery produces electricity by using a special enzyme called cellulose to convert paper into glucose in a process that is much like the digestive system of the termite which eats wood. The researchers said that cellulose will only serve as a catalyst so that it can be used multiple times making the battery recyclable and sustainable.

Currently, this bio-battery is only powerful enough to run a small fan. Sony’s researchers claim that the waste paper-run battery can generate electricity up to 18wh that would be enough to juice most digital music players currently in the market.

Eco Friendly Hybrid Cycles

Need for change

Though hybrid bicycles are eco friendly, they have significant limitations too. These battery powered bicycles have to be recharged frequently especially for daily riders, thus makes them less preferable. If newer technologies averts these limitations, definitely, hybrid bicycles are likely to become the most preferred vehicle in the future.

Trends

1) Grace

Grace Bicycle

a) What's new:

Grace resembles a conventional bicycle in its design with two wheels, a sturdy frame and a seat. However, the materials used in making this bicycle is its highlight. To be specific, this bike is made from materials which are currently used in Euro-fighter planes and formula one cars. Amazingly, Grace is touted to become the most successful legal street bike, especially due to its high strength and rigidity.

b) What difference will it make:

Grace is a realistic modern bicycle that can cruise up to 45kph on normal roads and 65kph on race tracks. A 1.3KW electric motor is responsible for churning out this amazing power. The bike's zero emission is the differentiated feature, which sets it apart and helps in supporting a pollution-free environment.

2) Electric bike blacktrail

Electric bike blacktrail

a) What's new:

Blacktrail bicycle possesses an extra-ordinary design that captivates viewers at the first glimpse itself. The bike's body is made up of some of the most successful aerospace materials like carbon fibers, magnesium, titanium and carbon. Its wheels are broad, dynamic and sturdy enough to absorb abrupt shocks. Blacktrail has a disc-brake system similar to the motorcycles.

b) What difference will it make:

Blacktrail is regarded as the fastest motorcycle in the world. Its CM 48V Lithium-Ion battery packcould allow the bike to cruise up to a top speed of 100kph. The battery could be fully recharged in about 150 minutes. In short, Blacktrail is one of the lightest, fastest and most powerful bicycles ever manufactured, making it a highly efficient and preferable bike.
