Someone at the Canadian company Bombardier Recreational Products was thinking way outside the box when they created this futuristic Embrio Advanced Concept one-wheel motorcycle. This unicycle-on-steroids concept is powered by hydrogen fuel cell and gives a glimpse of what the future of transportation may look like in the year 2025.
The Embrio Advanced Concept oddly enough is […]

The U. S. Navy has teamed up with Versa Power Systems to develop a solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) for use in one of its new unmanned underwater vehicles (UUV). Typically, SOFCs are used in stationary devices and run at very high temperatures (up to 1,800 F). Because of these high temperatures, there is no need […]

Thanks over to our friends at Inhabitat for alerting me of this story. The Interstate Traveler Company is developing a solar-hydrogen powered MagLev (magnetic levitation) rail system that will mean zero emissions for public transportation.
The idea is to built this MagLev railway system “along the right of way of the US Interstate Highway Systems” where […]
