Caravan Pod is a portable mini-RV that looks like peas to be attached to the rear of your vehicle.  With 12 volts of DC powering the pods, you have basic amenities available to you.

It seems a little dangerous for anyone to actually be inside while the pod is being towed but does provide enough “modern” comfort for those short week-long trips to Burning Man.

Overall, I think these will become more popular if they could make it affordable for your everyday working man/woman.

These Caravan Pods are collapsible and can fit into standard car parking spaces. They are designed to be cool city-getaway for young professionals, while being light enough to be towed by small cars. The Pods are divided into two compartments, The Comfort Pod which provides seating and sleeping space for two adults, with a 12 volt power supply and audio system and the Service Pod offers a water system, power supply and storage space for personal items.

Imagine yourself in this BuzzBall and going down one of the big hills of San Francisco at 40-60MPH. From the video that we can see the driver doesn’t actually rotate 360 degrees while traveling, proving the Buzzball could substitute your daily commuter to work. However, we highly recommend you get a life insurance before taking on the road with these “balls”.

Once the Buzzball is in motion the pod maintains an upright position until the pilot turns, causing the pod to rotate inside the ball against the direction of travel, which applies a braking force and the pod to lock with the ball. This causes the pod to rotate with the ball until the weight of the pilot and pod overcomes the inertia forces and causes the Buzzball to change direction.

Here’s a cool tent that can power your gadgets through its wind turbine and solar panels at the top of the tent.

Although this concept looks to be for commercial use right now, they should really make a mini-version for consumers like me who take their tent to the beach. Perhaps some bigger, lighter solar panels covering the whole 1/3 of the tent might be good for solar beach laptoping.

you’ll be able to power your phone at a dedicated renewable energy tent. Built by Orange, the ‘recharge Pod’ is a seven-metre high tent with 500 watt solar panels and a 500 watt wind turbine on the roof that’ll generate electricity for dead mobile phones.

You just know that you can have a real good laugh with this one. Not only be having a few goes in this, but best of all watching all of your friends trying to either get in or out of this contraption.

The body pod is inflatable so it is great for storage etc, and does look to be fun, but I am not sure. Oh and the speed boat is not included in the price, sorry!

The Inflatable Body Pod will cost $107.14.
