We all strive to make green technology cheaper and more publicly accessible. However, with the discount comes the luxury; Surefire has a $499 LED flashlight.

Now, LED flashlights are great, and if you don’t already have one, I highly suggest picking one up. They last longer, they’re a lot brighter, and they’re a lot greener than the traditional bulb.

This LED flashlight however (called the “Titan) takes flashlights to the extreme. Not only are you getting the brightness and longevity of an LED flashlight, but the Titan can control it’s lumen output. All the way from 0 to 65. Useless? Well.. it is a bit control-freakish.

Other than that you get a all-titanium body, a “near-indestructible” LED, scratch resistant window, and a fancy end to easily connect to keychains or lanyards.

Now, if I had millions of dollars to waste I’d definitely pick this one up, but for almost $500, it’s a bit ridiculous

Ultra compact (pinky-sized), mini flashlight that establishes a whole new class of illumination tools: luxury flashlights. The Titan is the world’s only fully variable-output flashlight, with an operating range from zero to 65 lumens and all points in between. No preset levels; just total, seamless control—over 1,000 possible output levels. The Titan features an all-titanium body with an elegant satin finish, a no-look control bezel for precision operation, a virtually indestructible LED, a scratch-resistant sapphire window, an Acme-threaded tailcap, and a quick-connect/disconnect interface that easily attaches to its included lanyard or key ring. -Surefire

This is an amazing innovative idea for growing plants indoors.

The table contains several removable tiles, which when flipped provide a little indent which can be used for growing plants. The plants grow right out of the table!

These tiles can be moved around and re-arranged, and because the tiles are just indents, you can use them as bowls, little ponds,or even an m&m jar.

Brilliant design than can bring some greenery to your dining room

Green prototypes for new cars have been showing up a lot recently.

The i-Blue is Hyundai’s most recent entry into the hydrogen-powered group. The i-Blue uses hydrogen fuel-cell technology and is 100% emissions free.

Just look at thing too, I’m finally starting to think the future is almost here! From other cars like the telsa roadster and the nissam mixim, it’s evident that big car companies are putting a lot more effort into green technologies.

“The i-Blue is Hyundai’s first-ever model designed from the ground up to incorporate fuel cell technology, marking a tremendous leap forward for our R&D program,” said Dr Hyun-Soon Lee, President of Research and Development. “Our engineering team has successfully designed a more compact fuel cell vehicle, while still realising the safety, comfort, convenience and driving range of a traditional internal combustion engine vehicle.” – AutoblogGreen
