The passengers of this mammoth yacht may get a sneaky feeling from time to time that they may become dinner. I can understand why. ?The yacht, which is currently just a concept, is shaped like an undersea fish with a gaping mouth.

The yacht will accommodate 12 guests in extroadinary comfort and will cruise at a speed of 25 knots.

The interior includes a 12 foot ceiling in the main salon and double-height ceiling in the dining room.  Source: Schopfer Yachts.

I have an exclusive scoop on the source of the inspiration of the design of the yacht below.

Roofus is a radio-controlled snow plow designed to remove snow from roofs of buildings (thus, the name Roof-us) where it would be particularly risky for a human to do so.  Personally, I would like to employ it for my driveway during the winter and sit back with a warm coffee, directing it’s efforts.

Roofus also has additional attachments for use in seasons other than the winter, converting it to a remote-controlled lawnmower, or cleaning machine.

Roofus ranked in the top twenty among 300 entries at the International Design Competition 2007/JDF in Osaka.

Russian designer Nikolay Suslov has designed a disposable bed for the homeless that can be quickly assembled and produced at an acceptable minimal cost.

The sleek design shades the head of the person sleeping in the bed and keeps them 7.9 inches off of the ground, isolating them from moisture and transfer of ground temperature.

The suspension-oriented design should provide a comfortable, if not springy, recline.

The bed can also be used like a chaise for attending outdoor events such as concerts and sports events.

Recently in the Netherlands, the worlds largest biomass power plant has opened. It’s capable to producing 270 million kWh of electricity a year, which has enough power to deliver electricity to 80,000 homes.

Whats great about using chicken manure is that there is no release of methane gas which means this biomass powerplant is “carbon natural.”

This new power plant will contain 440,000 tons of chicken manure a year, which is about a third of whats of what’s produced in the Netherlands. This way chicken manure can go to a good cause instead of polluting the Netherlands and the surrounding countries.

This amazing new concept was developed by architecture firm MZ & Partners who call their design “The Wall.” The idea is to have a large lawn with the stadium below ground level. It’s a revolutionary design that holds in cool air to keep the athletes fresh. Also due to the cashing on the ground the overall sound will be an improved as well. With a capacity to seat 11000 this idea could become a reality in 2010.

Some say longboarding is as close to having a “surf” feel as you can get. But recently SoulArc released a brand new skateboard with a rigid top and below-deck composite spring that provides the action and feel of surfing (and shredding). Mitch Mulder partnered with Salvaore Vilardi to bring the board to market. Check out the video after the jump…

We’re smack dab in the middle of the summer and there’s no better time to lug your cooler around the beach. Except Rob Pfischner’s “Trochotote” does just that for you. It has an embed Coleman cooler that fits perfectly inside the rotating wheel, so you no longer have to carry your cooler around. Once you hit the beach you simply have to push this around as if it was a shopping cart. A great idea!

Introducing the Shadow Caddy, a fully autonomous golf club carrying cart that trails behind you automatically. The three-wheeled cart works by following a signal from a transmitter worn on the golfer’s body. Switching the caddy’s setting from “Follow-Me” to “Park” makes sure it never accidentally follows you into a bunker or onto the green.

As of now, trials are being run in a few golf courses in Australia. One reason why this concept is so great it because it’s a clever design, but will also be cheaper renting then a 16 year old snotty kid.

The Virtual Wall provides a barrier made up of plasma laser beams depicting pedestrians so drivers know for sure that they need to stop. Clever idea which could reduce some injuries, although I’d say it’s not a top priority for any city.
