This is hydrogen 7 from BMW. Announced only 2 weeks ago, it’s the first luxury hydrogen vehicle to jump out of the concept stage and become available for everyday use.

This vehicle is incredibly flexible, allowing it to operate on either liquid-hydrogen fuel or traditional gasoline. The driver can decide which fuel to use, and power and torque remain  consistent between fuels. This allows a seamless transition between fuels.

It’s tank allows it to hold 17.2 lb of liquid hydrogen, giving it a hydrogen range of 125 miles, or 7.2 miles per pound efficiency. This can be combined with a 16.3 gallon traditional gasoline tank for an extra 300 mile range, giving the hydrogen 7 a total range of 425 miles when completely fueled-up. The gas efficiency could be improved however, as a 16.3 gallon tank giving a 300 mile range comes out to a modest 18.4mpg.

Performance wise, the 12 cylinder engine produced 260hp, allowing the Hydrogen 7 to accelerate from 0-60 in 9.5 seconds. The top speed is electronically limited, however, to 143mph.

Unfortunately hydrogen is still a difficult fuel to find, but the option to use traditional gas as well is brilliant. Allowing you to use green fuel when you can, and not making your car useless if none is available.

This is a big step forward for hydrogen-powered cars, but unfortunately you’re going to have to be pretty important the get your hands on one. BMW is producing the hydrogen 7 in limited quantities only, and the ones which are produced are sold only to select customers.

 One of the easiest ways to make your car more efficient and save gas is to ensure you tires are properly inflated.

The Accutire is a digital pressure gauge that allows you to easily tell whether your tires need inflating. It features programmable memory so you can input the recommended pressure for comparison. It allows you to input information for both front and rear tires

It measures 5-99PSI in 0.5 pound increments for accuracy, and a large, blue backlit LCD screen.

Ensuring your tires are properly inflated can improve your gas mileage up to 3%, which saves 20 pounds of CO2 for every gallon of gas saved.

This is a cheap way to save money on gas, and the gauge will only cost you $11.99

In the truly weird invention files, this is a folding urinal.

This is the Mister Miser, and no, you’re not seeing things, it folds right into the wall! Perfect to save space in any less-than-huge bathroom.

So what’s green about this invention?

It uses a mere 10 ounces of water per flush, about 5% of a standard toilet, or about 66% of a standard urinal. That’s a lot more efficient! (even if that’s still ridiculously wasteful compared to the waterless urinal.)

You can get it for $295 from Mister Miser.

This is the Stade De Swiss, in Berlin, Switzerland. It’s the largest solar-powered stadium in the world.

It contains a total of 10738 solar cells, thanks to a recent addition of 2808 cells. All these cells generate an impressive 1.3 megawatts, and get this, it’s expected to generate a whopping 1.134 gigawatt-hours of electricity.

All this electricity is designed to power the stadium, but could power as many as 350 homes. It will help to reduce 630 tons of CO2 annually.

This kind of dedication to green energy is impressive, and I congratulate the owners of the stadium for embracing the technology. Considering the amount of power taken up by stadiums, this is a big step forward.

…and who knows, with that kind of power they could even generate another source of revenue for the stadium and supply green power to the neighborhood.

Their website is not exactly in English, but check it out here
