Coca-Cola Powered Phone
Due to the constant increase in industries is leading to the increase in various pollutions and some common polluted things are water bodies, our atmosphere, lands etc. leading to a growth of the unrestricted Global Warming causing holes in the ozone layer to enter ultra violet ray directly in our world and creating bad health .
So the people are starting to take initiatives to stop this pollution planting of trees, using cycles instead of vehicles and recently, an Eco friendly car was launched by Maruti Suzuki and getting inspiration from it, Designer Daizi Zheng has created an exquisite new design for Eco friendly Nokia phone which can surely create a new revolution in cell phone industry which not only reliable but much cheaper then a normal cell phone.
His main idea behind the concept was that since cell phones have been made, the batteries which are used as its power source are not only really expensive but they even consume valuable resources during manufacturing and when disposed, leave a really harmful impact on the environment.
He researched and it proved fruitful as he found a new way to generate power for the cell phone in the form of carbohydrates in form of sugar and even enzymes are utilized as the catalyst, making it an Eco friendly biological battery to generate electricity.
This one will not only generate energy from the sugary drink like our regular Coke or Pepsi, it will generate water and oxygen too as by products which is positive side about this concept and this bio battery will have to potential to operate the phone for three to four times longer then a normal, single charged lithium battery used today. It’s really a different concept to create a better world.
Now if you would belive that YOU WONT BELIEVE THIS - THE LEAF PHONE
If you are a sucker for eccentric, mind-boggling concept designs, you have the perfect gratification in the Leaf Phone, a model that could end up being the most practical gadget of the future. It has been built with a strong understanding of modern day needs, while making sure it beats convention in every form. Take for example, the design of the leaf. With the eco-revolution gaining ground, the best way to sell a product is by incorporating elements of nature in the design. The ‘leaf’ in this case, hits the bull’s eye. As far as ergonomics is concerned, you have a phone that understands the dynamics of your muscles. Yes, it smugly fits around any part of your body without leaving you discomfited.
The Leaf Phone designed by Anastasia Zharkova is an expression, and a tribute to theories on multi-utility. It combines a communicator and a mini PC into the phone. To access the Internet or to use the computer inside, all you need to do is direct the laser keyboard on to any part of your wall and watch the magic unfold. It runs on solar energy, so you would never have to worry about power. Alternatively, you can use electromagnetic batteries when there is a cloud cover. Well, you couldn’t create a more practical or futuristic cellphone than this!

A cool trick we found that could have helped us in the past and may prove useful to you. If you spilled water on your phone, there is a very easy way to salvage it. Take out the battery and put the cell in a bowl of dry, uncooked rice overnight. The rice will absorb the water and moisture, and could possibly save your cell.
Any tricks that worked for you in the past?
BMW has always been at the forefront of leading innovative design, functionality and reliability, and now they have gone ahead and did it again.
Introducing the BMW Concept ActiveE.
As you may have guessed, with the emphasis falling squarely on green, efficient vehicles these days, BMW has also stepped up to the challenge and have developed their own 'green' vehicle.
The BMW Concept ActiveE is based on the BMW 1 Series Coupe - in terms of looks that is. The drive train however is an entirely different story altogether. Being a zero emissions vehicle, it is an entirely electric vehicle. But not quite an ordinary electric vehicle.
Plenty of power is available in the form of a high performance electric motor that provides 125kW, or 170 hp, and 250 Nm of torque. All this power accelerates the Coupe from 0 - 60km/h in 4.5 seconds, and 0 - 100km/h in 8.5 seconds. A couple of years ago some normally aspirated and even fuel injected vehicles were fortunate if they could boast that type of performance. How technology has changed...
The electric motor is powered by a lithium-ion battery, and with the combustion engine, transmission and fuel tank removed, there is still more than enough space with four seats and 200 litres of boot space. And the car's range? 160 kilometres on a 3 hour charge. Not bad if you're planning on using it for city driving. The Concept ActiveE will be available in 2011.

One has to wonder though...Are Electric vehicles the future of automotive transport, or will it be hydrogen based? Or will there be a mixture of the two?
