Mercedes Zero Emission Car unveiled

As a physical demonstration of the ‘invisible impact’ of the vehicle, it is certainly is an eye-catching publicity stunt. It was achieved by Mercedes placing hundreds of individual LEDs across one side of the vehicle, and a Canon 5D Mark II camera was then mounted on the opposite side. What the camera ‘saw’ was then projected on the opposite side, creating a real-time ‘invisible’ cloaking device effect.



As you can see, audiences loved the trick, and it allowed the F-Cell car to make its impact on the general public. The F-Cell works by converting compressed hydrogen into electricity to deliver a range of up to 240 miles (the equivalent of nearly 90 highway mpg). What is even more amazing is that water vapor is the only emission it produces.



Mercedes hope that the F-Cell will bring forth “a future of mobility that’s unconstrained by range anxiety, nonrenewable fuels or worrisome emissions.”

The paper is printed with two different colors on each side, so the final form has a dynamic appearance that changes as it is viewed from various angles. Check out a few videos of the vase in action after the jump!

Curved kitchen island

Italian kitchen company Pedini produces a sinuous wonder named Dune, which is modeled after “flowing forms found in nature.” The cabinet system uses no handles, which keeps the profile clean and smooth—much like the sandy waves of beachfront dunes. To open the base unit cabinets, simply reach into a groove on the edge of the extra thick 23mm front panel. To open the tall uni... read more
