South Korea Plans Giant Eco Dome


The Ecorium Project, South Korea's planned nature reserve, is a stunner. The 33,000 sq. meter park includes a wetland reserve, a wild plant area. The structure will comprise a series of connected domes, each of which contains its own greenhouse. Sponsored by the National Ecological Institute of South Korea and designed by Samoo, the Ecorium Project is going to be as much an educational center as it is a preserve. It'll also be energy-efficient itself, with each greenhouse being capable of detecting external climate conditions and making the appropriate adjustments inside. The exterior will be made of metal panels, low-iron and low-e double glazing, wood and plexiglass.

This place looks really cool.

Toilet of tomorrow


The Home Core Integrated Toilet, a concept by Dang Jingwei, fits a pedestal sink and a toilet into one, eco-friendly unit with a dangerous-looking swivel. When you wash your hands or brush your teeth in the sink, the system can retain this "gray water" for the toilet. Apparently, your butt excretions are not as picky as your mouth—who woulda thunk—so mixing some toothpaste with what is already wretched waste is no big deal.

This toilet has a crazy look. But it sounds awesome.

NASA Low Noise, Electric VTOL Personal Air Vehicle


this is really cool. In the future people will fly with this not there cars.
electric-powered, super-quiet personal VTOL (vertical takeoff and landing) aircraft! NASA is preparing to oblige you. The space agency's Puffin aircraft design will be officially unveiled tomorrow, showing just how far personal, electrically propelled flight could change the ways we live and get around.The Puffin is something of a personal V-22 Osprey, complete with vertical-takeoff and landing capability. But rather than tilting the rotors forward for horizontal flight, the whole craft cockpit and all pitches forward, meaning the pilot flies from a prone position. During takeoff and landing the tail splits into four legs that serve as landing gear, and flaps on the wings deploy to keep the aircraft stable as it lifts and descends. As far as specs are concerned the Puffin is no slouch. Its 12-feet height and 13.5-feet wingspan mean it's big, but of manageable stature. In theory it can cruise at 150 miles per hour and sprint at more like 300 miles per hour. Since the craft is electrically propelled it doesn't need air intake, so thinning air is not a limitation, meaning it can reach — again, in theory — 30,000 feet before limitations on battery power force it to descend (clearly the pilot would need a pressurized cabin or oxygen tanks at that altitude, but we're just talking raw physical capability here).

Personal soundtracks on a new Nokia Phone N900


You can listen to your MP3, .wma, .aac, .m4a, and .wav files. It has a 5 mega pixel camera. It also stores meta data. It can store up to 32GB of memory. It has an on screen keyboard or a slide out keyboard. I think this phone is pretty cool. It also has a lot of cool features. It also has a good camera and I can listen to my music on it.
