Sphere Hotel

This sphere hotel is presently a prototype Designed by Milla Rezanova, visitors will be transported in a helicopter because the hotel is located on a cliff. There are 200 rooms on this unique hotel and its designed for the adventurous. I think that this hotel will face many safety challenges but if it is constructed then it will see successful profits. It is definatley very interesting and one of a kind!

A New design of Paddleboat!

This paddle boat is called ‘1Liaison’ , it runs on an onboard battery, charged by the paddling only, when the user feels too exhausted to paddle the boat himself. The pedals are connected to a dynamo that juices up the battery. As the users paddle out the battery charges kind of like you some of todays moped/bicycles.The sensor system of the paddleboat measures and guides about the speed of paddling required for charging the battery. It was designed by Manuel Schneider.

The Gyro Car

This gyroscopically stabilized car was designed by US designer Carlos Pilonieta. Its an electric vehicle that only has 2 wheels! It is controlled by a joystick which makes it unusual and fun to frive! Its intended for urban and rural environments and it can get into an upright position for cramped city roads as seen in the picture below! This car is a very interesting design!

Luminous Christmas decorations


I thought that these luminous christmas ornaments were a really nice idea. I just think that there is a hazard hanging these on a tree. they are made from metal and provide natural light to brighten up the tree!   

Mobile home for trendy nomads






This mobile home van was designed by Andrew Maynard. Mr. Maynard called his invention 'BOB'. Its gearbox, engine and drivetrain are neatly placed under the front seats, making the mobile house spacious. I think this is a really cool invention almost half way between a tent and car. It is a great idea for the more adventurous couples!
