Smith and Gordon Gill have created the Clean Technology Tower concept.They propose to to have wind turbines positioned at the corners of the building to harness the high velocity winds that accelerate around the top of the tower.A domed double roof cavity positioned at the apex, where wind speeds are at a maximum, a domed double roof cavity directs the wind towards an array of wind turbines.
This tower includes over 1.8 million square feet of office space along with a 300,000 square foot hotel, a spa and street-level retail rounding off the complex.
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.

Pedal and Solar Powered Green Boat

Jonathan Mahieddine is a french designer who has designed the human and solar powered concept boat which works both by pedaling and by the solar power offered by its panels.Jonathan Mahieddine has already developed defined concept boats and this new concept is going to be pretty luxurious too, because of the comfort the boat will offer, wherein you can relax with your family and friends, and you can even take a sun bath.
This boat has a wide deck wherein you can relax with your family and friends, and you can even take a sun bath. It is not huge, but is enough for a family to have a good time. The boat gives you both exercise and when done with that, you have the option of solar panel energy that can be used.
The designer conceptualized the project in high school, but it is not a concept anymore as the designer has further developed the project with the Numero Design agency.
