Swimming pool gadgets are the best kind of gadgets. Unfortunately, not all of them can keep people who lack buoyancy afloat.  Fortunately, for the lethargic, the “PC of the Swim-Rings” has a flotation device around the computers base which is reminiscent of a LifeSaver candy. The amphibious PC is fitted with a solar power driven processor, water-cooling system, GPRS receiver, Bluetooth wireless solutions, finger-touch input, magnetic charging interface and it’s even water-proof (go figure).

It could be used as a desktop for in-home use, but where’s the fun in that? At the moment the “PC of the Swim-Rings” is only a concept. A concept that, by the sound of the specs, is said to be better geared than any PC I’ve ever owned.

You won’t ever live to see this floating ecopolis. This concept, designed by Vincent Callebaut, is straight out a science-fiction film with its ability to float. Dubbed “Lilypad,” this amphibious city can hold around 50,000 people and protect them from floods and bizarre plate tectonics.

The city is designed to draw power from solar, wind and tidal means, which enables it to live in the depths of the ocean like that alien-race in The Abyss.  Concepts like these will hopefully evolve mankind into a half-fish half man species like Kevin Costner in Waterworld.

If an alien and the Embrio Unicycle were to find a way to have a freaky love child, the offspring might resemble the Cerva MC08. Sporting what appears to be an evil grin (no doubt thrilled to have just slaughtered countless humans,) the MC08 is an oval-shaped conceptual transport vehicle which offers modular design to integrate various means of getting around.

The Cerva MC08 is modular in the sense that there is a three wheel axle extension that can be mounted on the vehicle for use on the hard road. The designers say it can carry up to two people at once but we have no idea how. We’re guessing one passenger would have to ride with his legs around the drivers shoulders, unless there is a separate modular piece for an extra seat. (more…)
