james bond's green gadgets<i>Skyfall</i>, the newest <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/James-Bond/">James Bond</a> movie, just opened today in theaters across the United States. For action movie fans, and Daniel Craig lovers (you know who you are), this movie promises to deliver more of the hard-hitting, martini-swirling, plot-twisting, villain-thwarting entertainment we love. In honor of enjoying life "shaken and not stirred," we decided to let our imaginations run wild. What if this time, when Q brings Bond into the inner chamber to reveal his newest gadgets, they are just as eco-friendly as they are cool? Here, for your eyes only, are eight of the most James Bond-worthy green gadgets and vehicles we could find!1
James Bond Lockheed BlimpWhen trying to observe a villain from long-distance, any self-respecting spy would love to get their hands on the <a href="http://inhabitat.com/lockheeds-hale-d-blimp-is-a-solar-powered-spy-satellite/">HALE-D (High Altitude Long Endurance-Demonstrator) solar-powered blimp</a>by Lockheed.2
James Bond Invisible Bike HelmetDesigned by Swedish industrial designers Anna Haupt and Teresa Alstin, <a href="http://inhabitat.com/an-invisible-bike-helmet-that-keeps-your-skull-and-hair-intact/">the Hovding helmet</a> is perfect for our favorite secret agent, as it remains hidden inside a fashionable collar until its the moment it's needed.3
Bond Seiko Astron WatchThis <a href="http://inhabitat.com/the-solar-powered-seiko-astron-watch-even-boasts-a-mini-gps-receiver/">solar-powered Seiko Astron watch</a> features a low-energy GPS receiver that allows it to recognize all 39 time zones on earth via a global network of GPS satellites without ever needing a new battery.4
Bond One 77 Cycle PromoWe think 007 would be right at home atop this two-wheeled version of the iconic (and expensive) Aston Martin One-77 Coupe – <a href="http://inhabitat.com/the-aston-martin-one-77-bicycle-if-james-bond-was-a-cyclist-hed-ride-this/">the One-77 Cycle</a>. Featuring a high-tech computer system, a complex array of sensors, and a carbon fiber frame to keep the weight down, this is hardly your normal bicycle.5
James Bond FlyNano PlaneOf course, you can't ride a bike on water, so Bond would need another type of vehicle when chasing villains out at sea. We think the surprisingly compact <a href="http://inhabitat.com/the-flynano-electric-seaplane-would-make-even-james-bond-jealous/">FlyNano</a> should fit the bill quite nicely. With electric motors and a powerful lithium-ion battery, this single-seater electric seaplane can soar through the skies in relative silence and land on any body of water with ease.6
James Bond Mission 1 MotorcycleJames Bond needs a nimble vehicle, something that can let him move quickly, yet undetected. We think he'd look perfect on <a href="http://inhabitat.com/mission-one-motorcycle-by-fuse-project/">the Mission One</a>, the world’s fastest electric production motorcycle.7
James Bond Pedal-Powered SubmarineSince villains find it hard to resist the underwater secret base, we think this <a href="http://inhabitat.com/french-engineers-design-a-pedal-powered-submarine/">pedal-powered submarine</a> is a must for the MI-6 arsenal. The mini-sub, nicknamed the ‘Scubster’ is entirely human-powered and is designed so that the ‘driver’ only has to pedal to propel it underwater.8
Bond Solar-Powered Code X YachtPowered by two Ilmor Marine 710 horsepower V10 Formula 1 engines, along with a bank of solar cells that store power in on-board lithium ion batteries, this <a href="http://inhabitat.com/code-xs-solar-powered-yacht-the-ultimate-hybrid-luxury-boat/">solar-powered luxury yacht</a> contains a Kevlar/carbon fiber hull, a canopy that tilts up to the rear swim deck, and a hot tub for unwinding after a hard day of spy work.9
