5. Green Technology Tower with Wind Turbines

The concept of “Clean Technology Tower” is brought to you by Adrian Smith and Gordon Gill. This building will be built in Chicago as highly efficient building. They plan to put the wind turbines in each of the corners of the building, to make sure it captures the wind at its highest velocity as it accelerates around the tower. At the apex, where wind speeds are at a maximum, a domed double roof cavity directs the wind towards an array of wind turbines. The negative pressure created by the turbines will be used to ventilate interior spaces. The dome itself is shaded by solar cells that capture the southern sun. These systems provide both comfort and energy to the space. Building on principles of biomimicry, Clean Technology Tower utilizes advanced technologies and climate-appropriate building systems to foster a symbiotic relationship with its local environment.

8. Twinned MP3 Player

Are you in love? Are you in love with music too? Don’t accuse me of being personal.

The Twinned MP3 Player concept is actually two mp3 players, capable of holding only one playlist each. The same one. Period.

When twinned in intense postures (lol), they can be plugged on to your computer and you can get songs from your PC as from normal mp3 player. But when they are separated, they will act as individual mp3 players in your and your lover’s ears but with one common playlist. That is it.
