  • Cronos Yacht by Madella and Berselli
    We're not completely sold on the excess so often associated with yachting, but <a href="http://titans88.blogspot.com/">Simone Madella</a> and <a href="http://lorenzo-berselli.blogspot.com/">Lorenzo Berselli</a> have designed the wind and solar powered Cronos yacht that is made almost entirely out of <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bamboo">bamboo panels</a>. Still in the design concept, this svelte machine will glide through the water without leaving behind a trail of gas fumes, and very little waste is involved in the construction process.
