Concepts

That is great to be totally undependable from traditional energy sources, but unfortunately for a while it is a questionable matter, though slowly we are moving forward. Panasonic together with Sanyo brought to the light some plans how to fix this problem. They plan together to create and to supply in nearest two years lithium-ion cell battery with storage capacity that allows supply with power whole house for a week long. Though many sources are in doubts about such possibility until 2012, we keep our hopes high.

Several Indian companies are already interested in this concept, and first public available cars will appear later this year. The cost is very affordable - 3500 Euros for the cheapest model.

Since the public has come down after speculating on the iPad followed by its announcement, it is time we think remember the next gen iPhone 4G and show you some of the latest mock-ups on it. Not just that they appear in an unprogressive fashion, but that this particular one found accidentally on the Web runs pretty close to what everyone is expecting. It gives suggestions on a front camera, microSD expansion slot which will never be there but no matter, bright and happy color schemes. iPhone 4G already has a rather straight forward “must have” hardware and feature list. But from the design point of view, how could it evolve? Even free-minded sketches show no paths of alternative. Whether it is good or bad for the iPhone is quite a question for the ages, so have your say on future of iPhone's design in comments.

The report about new concept of the most compact DVD player rings true. It became possible to create such a compact device due to the cutting-edge technology.

However, Chocolate Agency, which has recently designed an absolutely new concept, thinks that some innovations should be implemented in order to make high-end cell phones even more attractive. According to their new design the whole surface of the cell phone represents a touch sensitive display.

But it is real!Student from the Virginia Tech University has made an interesting concept that has already won the Greener Gadget award. The LED lamp that uses the most infinite energy source possible - the Earth gravity! The lamp, called Gravia, is about four feet tall, and it looks like a tube made from glass.

His concept iRing represents a high-end ring, which helps you by means of Bluetooth technology and a tiny touch screen to control Apple devices, such as iPod and iPhone. Although it's available just in two colors - black and white - it can be considered as a very stylish device with well-known Apple symbol on it.

Another thing that should be mentioned is a modern stylish design of the concept. However, there is one significant disadvantage of these "rings".

Do you remember the idea of using pencils and crayons in printers rather ink cartridges, the Pencil Printer? Well, same people driven by the same idea have been working on the concept since we last saw it in early February. And they came up with this. Since it is a designer’s know-how, it looks very neat and stylish, much better than almost any printer given at random. But more importantly, not by much though I reckon, Pencil Printer saves on ink and paper. Because text and/or drawings are put on paper using only slate pencil, you can wipe them out with a normal eraser approach. This, designers say, will save paper and hopefully as the result less trees will be cut down.

What about a lighter that doesn't need gas at all?This conceptual lighter named Kool is not a usual lighter that we use every day. It is flameless, needs no gas to work and is fully electric, using resistance coils to light cigarettes just like the car cigarette lighter.

This engine is a hydrogen-powered A2 aircraft concept that would be capable of hitting Mach-5 - five times the speed of sound (3400 mph), making it somewhat the spiritual successor of the Concorde. What makes it different is range and efficiency, capable of ferrying up to 300 passengers from Brussels to Sydney in less than four hours.

History of modern automobile industry teaches us that at some point there was a three-way crossroad objectifying three possible ways of further evolution. Back then it was uncertain what propelling power will by employed: petrol, steam or electricity. What's more, all three concepts were already up and running in different regions. The reason why I bring this up is what IBM and Fujifilm have recently unveiled. That is the next iteration of their linear magnetic tape storage device development that has been going strong since year 2006 when IBM and Fujifilm presented an 8TB magnetic tape cartridge. This time though it has 35TB of storage capacity.

Kyocera developers who resident in San Diego and Bangalore have gratefully shared their groundwork that incorporates mobile phone technologies of tomorrow. At the first glance the Kyocera EOS concept phone doesn’t seem to have more than seven or ten percents of parts our eyes got used to. If EOS was an end product, it wouldn’t need to be plugged for a recharge, would feature very innovative ergonomics and tactile sensations of human’s skin. All that though is achieved by technologies that are already used today but have never before been united in a mobile phone.

Also, this is, in some way, a "proof of concept", proof that it is possible to construct Swiss Army Knife with a ton of tools inside. It is possible to make good business on them too, and Victorinox proves it: price for that knife is not so cheap - 792 dollars, and we think its sales are good enough to make manufacturers happy for their "monster knife", however it is more of advertisement move

Due to the fact that no additional information about this gadget's characteristics, design and price is given there is no possibility to say something about its usefulness, advantages and disadvantages. Yet the concept itself is very unusual and original, so after its introduction to the market some lovers of this cell phone may appear.

.. e you like expressing yourself and are a great lover of original design, you will probably like the concept that was designed by Hyomi Kim. Designer's new gadget represents quite an original lighting system ..

.. t it there already are many people who are interested in buying such a cool device. "Designer" is a concept of the future and you will be able to see the presentation of this gadget on the Consumer Electroni ..

It sounds incredibly, isn't it? As usually, nothing said about the future price of the concept, but as NEC informs it is going to be released sometime in 2008. Of course it's hard to imagine what functions this phone will be able to perform but according to the given picture it won't have even a usual digital camera.

Thus, given concept will be able to ensure VGA-quality of the image that can be considered as quite a high achievement in this domain. Moreover it is said that the diagonal of the image transmitted by this projector will reach 40 inches or even more.

Submerging a motherboard with all of the adapters and fans inside the case into vegetable oil is indeed not new and not very popular. This has fewer upsides than problems it may cause while assembling and using the PC. Makes it of course more exiting, but prime advantage of all this – liquid cooling – has found interest between overclockers and gamers. So, a liquid cooling kit for a processor alone is an average thing these days. And now we got an announcement from BFG which sais they will do VGA cards with liquid cooling.
