Industrial designer Matthew Smith is working to reduce our dependence on non-renewable forms of energy to power our electronic gear. Since these gadgets are a part of mostly everybody’s life, the total electricity required to keep them ticking is substantial. Matthew is providing solutions by designing gadgets that can be powered by renewable forms of energy, such as kinetic energy.

The designer has come up with a concept MP3 player, which allows the user to enjoy music while running. The player features a built-in kinetic energy generator that eliminates the need to charge the device or change batteries. The player features a joystick that eases navigation through various menus. Moreover, the built-in metal pads on the handgrip allow the user to read their heart rate while exercising.

For example – the user could choose which two app’s show first (more app’s are available by scrolling up or down), and the keypad button/icon could be changed for something else like favorite contacts etc.

In the years to come, technology will take us to a level that become difficult to predict or think about at present. Nevertheless, there are designers who every now and then come up with a vehicle that seems fit enough in the future scenario. Here is a vision from Brazilian designer, Thiago Vieira, who has envisioned a vehicle for 2050.

He has named his vehicle 2 for 2 (also 2f2) which is a design study of a futuristic vehicle intended for 40 years from now. This vehicle is powered by 90hp electric motor and features aluminum body structure for urban use. The concept uses less energy to help prolong your ride and is equipped with various equipments that improve driver’s interaction with the other vehicles.

Improving on gadgets is one thing, but there’s a fine line between improvement and over-the-top futurism. This Japanese vending machine is firmly over that line with its insane 47-inch touch screen, cameras and built-in stereotyping.

When a potential customer approaches the machine, the cameras identify the person’s gender and age, then the super stereotyping software displays recommendations for drinks based on what it thinks people like you enjoy. The next time you approach one of the machines, it will remember your purchase history and make appropriate suggestions.

The first of these crazy machines was unveiled in Tokyo’s Shinagawa Station; it’s just the beginning of a 500-strong planned team of wildly unnecessary drink vending machines to be installed in and around Tokyo in the next two years.

While they may not be entirely practical, these machines are all kinds of pretty. They look more like huge TVs than vending machines, and we have to admit that choosing a beverage from a gigantic, crystal-clear screen is much more inviting than the traditional method. Hopefully they attract the 30 percent in additional revenue that they’re expected to and gain enough popularity to spread to the rest of the world.

Eco-friendly concept device harnesses kinetic energy.

The Touchpot is an eco-friendly artificial plant pot that harnesses kinetic energy whenever its artificial leaves are moved by hand or by the wind. Designed by Aydan Design, the concept features leaves that can be rotated and moved in any direction. The leaves respond to human touch by harnessing the tiny amount of energy that will be generated during the process.

Moreover, whenever the plant is placed outside the window, it harvests wind energy to recharge an onboard battery. A fully recharged battery can be used to power a LED light panel integrated within the pot. The energy stored can also be used to power rechargeable batteries of other electronic devices as well.

Here’s another new concept watch from those guys over at TokyoFlash. They call it Night Vision and it actually looks pretty good, thanks to the bright green lights on the face of the watch.

The folks over at Tokyoflash never ever sleep. They don’t rest at all. They just spend all of their time coming up with unusual new watches. And that’s what we love about the company. Their latest crazy watch concept is the Night Vision concept.

This one looks pretty cool and Sci-Fi like with bright green lights. As usual, it’s hard to figure out how you tell the time at first. The outer bars indicate the hours, while the minutes are shown in the center in large digital numerals.
