Venturi Eclectic - Solar and Wind Powered Electric Car

Venturi is known as the maker of beautiful electric vehicles like the Fetish and the Astrolab. Now they come up with this electric car at the price of $30.000. We can expect this cart in stores starting June 2007. The Venturi Eclectic is powered by either its photovoltaics, or the wind through a “force wheel”. Moreover, Venturi will be adding a single-seat variant in 2009. One more pic after the break.

Solar Powered USB Bikini

The iDrink swimware line is perfect for beach lovers who enjoy good music and cold drinks, but who don’t want to get wet! You can also charge an iPod shuffle using this bikini. Its photovoltaic film panels allow a fashionable fit while supplying the 6.5 volts @ 1.5 Amps needed to power a peltier junction and an iPod and keep you double cool!

I wonder if they’re gonna come up with more colored bikinis?
