iCharge Eco

2010 Lexus LS 600H The LS 600H is the flagship hybrid model by Lexus. The 2010 version of the LS 600H by Lexus does so many smart things to conserve fuel, that you are only allowed to control half the car. For example, if you accelerate too suddenly, the car does not speed up as much as it should to conserve fuel, and reminds you to drive more smoothly. The air conditioning system also works on it’s own, depending on fuel economy and ambient temperature, ignoring any setting that you might key in. Put the car in the Eco mode, and the car adjusts various aspects to maximize fuel efficiency. Unlike hybrid super car concepts, this one is on the streets and you can get one for a paltry US $108,800 (Rs. 49,37,343) – without the duties that is.

The iCharge Eco is a pocketable solar charger, with support for a wide range of devices. The iCharge Eco is built around a lithium polymer battery and a 100x50 mm solar panel. The charger supports mobile phones, portable gaming consoles and PMPs, or basically any device that can charge up using a USB interface. The chargers are available in six colours. The battery can be charged using a USB interface itself, or a traditional adapter as well. If you are thinking of picking one of these up, you will have to go to Japan and shell out Rs. 4,541.

Mavizen TTX02 The Mavizen TTX02 is an electric-electronic superbike that packs a punch – not only on the streets, but over the web as well. The bike is powerful enough to compete at races and rallies, so this is not one of those electronic scooters you see crawling down the road. The superbike can move itself at speeds of 130mph (209kph), but much more impressive is the fact that it has a dedicated IP address along with a configurable web server sitting inside. You can also get into the bike over Wi-Fi, and even plug in USB accessories. Only 50 models are planned, each customised according to the needs of the buyer. You can pick one of these up for Rs. 16,94,350, and if you crash it, you can use it as a seedbox or something.

Callender Designs Soliloquy The Callender Designs Soliloquy is a super-yacht with all the regular features that any luxury yacht should have. However, it is designed in a way to leave behind as small a carbon footprint as possible. The sails are rigid solar panels called wings, and these are enough to move all 58 meters of the yacht at zero emission. Additionally, the yacht also taps into wind and hybrid marine power (HMP) as sources of electricity. That’s not all the technology packed in though, there is a touch button control system that reduces the amount of crew on board, affording more space for the capacity of 12 guests.
