Sure it may look like a regular Porsche GT3 wearing a tinfoil helmet so aliens can’t read its mileage, but it’s actually a pedal-powered scale mockup . HOHO! Now I don’t know about you, but I’d pedal that sucker around town and holler at all the fly honeys . Things like, “HOLY SHIT LADY, GET OUT OF THE WAY I CAN’T STOP!!” She will be so turned on. It’s like taking candy from a baby plowing through the Farmer’s Market in a pedal-car. Hit the jump for a ton more pics, and the link to a whole bunch more.

This is a conceptual solar powered BMW . It may look like a fish , but it’s not, it’s a car , silly! Well, not a real car, cause it’s only a concept . Like me. I ONLY EXIST YOUR INTERNET! Created by 24-yo German designer Anne Forschner, the Lovos stands fo Lifestyle of Voluntary Simplicity. Each of those scales–which are replaceable and turn constantly to align with the sun–is covered with solar cells. Now I’m no aerodynamicist, but that shit looks like it’ll slow you down. AND I CAN’T DRIVE 55, know what I’m saying? It’s against my law! The Geekologie law of awesome. Which, honestly, makes gravity look like a little bitch. Hit the jump for a bunch more shots of the craziness.

The $200 Solar Power Shower can heat up to 8 liters of water to 140 Fahrenheit in as little as two hours, provided it’s outside in the sun and not in your basement . It’s a lot more sophisticated than a simple camping solar shower, because this one mixes that 140 water with cool water from the garden hose, giving you plenty of toasty warm water at just the right temperature. Impressive, but I don’t really have a need for a solar powered shower. I do, however, have a need for that chick in the picture. Seriously, I’m getting hungry. HIYO! Solar Shower heats water in two hours [dvice]

The Grass Wheel was created by David Gallaugher, Kevin James, and Jacob Jebailey of the Dalhousie School of Architecture, and provides a comfortable, shoe-free mode of eco-transportation in the concrete jungle ( grass-sandals guys, just saying). And I think we can all agree, it makes a very powerful statement. One about renewable energy or something. No? Human hamster wheels? A-ha — space technology and growing grass upside down! Yes, very thought provoking. How DO they do that? Grass Wheel [neatorama] Thanks to Armando, who is all man and refuses to walk in anything but a broken-glass wheel. Nice, Armando, but I’ll stick to my burning coals wheel.
