Alternative energy car

Alternative energy car designers seem to be hard at work creating the next cool car that can be run off pretty much anything. This one is really great, magnetic energy car. Now it is a bit small… but it uses magnetic energy, how cool is that?

The magnetic energy Concept car was designed by car designer, Harsha Vardha. Harsha thinks that cars could be manufactured using technology that no car manufaturer has ever tried, yep, magnetism.

The concept magnetic / electric powered car generates power in the form of electricity from magnetic fields and the power generated from those.

Eco Factor is the design, it’s a Zero emission concept car powered by a magnetic field that is converted into electricity to power the car.

Pretty cool…eeahhh

Love having your video close but tired of lugging around that clunky Ipod? If so, then here’s a gadget just for you. It’s a very techy video watch that plays all your favorite videos and maybe even tells time. The telling time part I am not clear on since the manufacturer left that part out of the description.

The crazy watch below has a 1.5 inch video screen, 8 Gigs of memory and supports multiple video and image formats including support for e-books. Good luck reading that e-book on a 1.5 inch screen though.

Seems manufacturers are trying to stick an lcd screen onto just about everything these days, so why not a video wrist watch? The picture may be a bit too small to see clearly and forget about trying to decipher the titles on any music videos. The idea is that it looks ultra hi tech and you will look either very cool or very geeky wearing it.

Here is another model of the video watch…

This hi techpower watch is made in China, go figure, by Chinavision. China is great for hi tech useless gizmos.

The crazy watch supports media files of AVI, MP4, WMV, ASF, MPG, MPEG, DAT, RM, MOV, MP3, WMA, WAV, JPEG and BMP formats with 8GB of memory. The display size is 1.8 inches, making it a very large and manly watch.

Tata motors created some buzz when they first showed off the air car some time ago, now seems the project is picking up steam with plans on bringing the air powered car to the US next year.

The models were called oneCat and miniCat and rumor has it that those same models that were slated for Indian roads may hit U.S. roads as well.

The company planning to bring the air cars to the U.S. is called ZPM (Zero Pollution Motors).The first air-powered car to hit U.S. streets is supposed to be priced at around $17,800 with about a 75-hp engine. There are also plans for a 6 seat,  large version for the U.S. market.  The Indian models, OneCat and MiniCat are 2 and 3 seat models.

The air cars are said to be able to go as fast as 95 mph and have a range of 1000 miles on each fill up of, well, air. As it stands now, the cars should be available in the U.S. by early 2010.
