Nils Ferber from ECAL in Renens, Switzerland’s Micro Wind Turbine aids navigation in the remotest outposts as it operates in the harshest weather conditions, even at night. Energy is stored in an integrated battery, and it features a USB port, so no more dead phones or devices when you’re exploring any hinterland.
The Window Socket by Kyuho Song and Boa Oh from Samsung Art and Design Institute in Seoul generates solar energy from any sunny window, even in planes, cars and buses thanks to a suction pad and a simple plug socket.
Frederik Ausinsch from Umeå Institute of Design in Sweden has invented an Algae Harvester which cleans water through suction and converts the collected algae into a biofuel to power itself.
The Raiden superpower glove by Kourosh Atefipour from the Royal College of Art in London is by far the most futuristic design. Through a series of Tesla coil drivers, it creates an exoskeleton for hands and arms that can harness up to 12,000 volts of raw electricity to spark from the user’s fingertips.
