Awesome Concepts

Remodel on the fly with Amirkhan Abdurakhmanov’s Change It! concept; it’s basically a wall made with three-sided pixels that rotate between black, white, and colored sides.

870 feet tall, totally silent, and pollution free, the Aircruise is a uber-lux airship that runs on solar power and hydrogen fuel cells; it’ll carry 100 people from London to NYC in 37 hours.

Peugeot celebrates its return to cycling with the concept B1K; its ergonomics are questionable but there’s no ignoring its looks; it boasts a chainless drivetrain and carbon fiber bits.

We’ll actually be disappointed if Apple’s Tablet doesn’t look like this MacView concept; it features two multi-touch LED screens, 1 TB SSD, 4 GB RAM and docking into an iMac-style stand.

Trexa aims to offer the first fully-electric vehicle platform; the base AWD unit includes a battery and transmission with a 0-60 of 8s, 105 mi range, 4 hour charge time, and 100 mph top speed.

Like something Optimus Prime would wear, Design by 8’s Artime watch concept features small plates that reshuffle, pulse, and move according to the wearer’s body rhythm.

Riding your bike on a tightrope looks precarious, but Kolelinia is actually a well thought-out and safe half pipe and cable system that lets riders avoid dangerous auto traffic.

Introducing Iron Chef: Inkjet Edition; Cornucopia: Digital Gastronomy is an ongoing project by two MIT grad students to develop a 3D printer that mixes, deposits, and cooks food.

We wonder about long-term accuracy, but kudos to Lin Wei and Marcella Maltese for their simple yet brilliant Gravity Ruler Luggage Scale; the bungee cord stretches to indicate weight.

It may not get your pulse pounding, but there’s no denying the clean, Audi-like lines of Volkswagen’s Compact Coupe Concept; the hybrid TSI/electric is roughly the same size as a Jetta.

GMC’s Granite is skinnier than the Fit, shorter than the xB, and lower than the Cube, but looks like it’ll eat all three for lunch; it’s made for tight city streets and sports a turbo 1.4L 4-cylinder.

Remarkably tame for a Peugeot, the SR1 concept is a green, AWD-capable Grand Tourer; it makes 313 hp and 48 mph thanks to a 1.6L turbo 4-banger mated to a 95 hp electric motor.

We really shouldn’t like Tao Ma’s 2Oct2031 concept watch; it’s tough to tell time on and it could probably kill you with its edges, but it’s one sweet look into the future–2031, to be exact.

Atila Rossito’s LOP concept is a 21st century version of the disco ball: it not only serves as a party-sized iPod speaker and dock, but streams movies and images along its surface.

No, your phone is not haunted: Mac Funamizu’s Floater Phone concept features a curved bottom that lets it sit up by itself or wobble whenever it receives a call or text message.

No, it’s not an excuse to tailgate, but Art Lebedev’s Transparentius concept is a simple (although pricey) way of seeing around a truck: a camera up front projects video on the back door.
