POPSGreat Idea - Now Make it Even Better This bike, despite its cost, looks like a pretty great idea. It's much lower scale than getting a moped or scooter, but still provides power to get you around. Now if they really wanted to make this a great bike, they'd set it up so that if you pedal instead of using the motor, your pedaling charges the batery. Maybe that'll come in the next version?

POPSWorld 1st: Wave-powered Boat Completes Journey from Japan to Hawaii
This guy is my hero! Horie told reporters in Japan: "The sea was so calm, and the weather was so great throughout my journey. That's why it took me so long," Kenichi Horie said of his historic voyage. The vitals are that Kenichi left Honolulu March 16th, arrived in Wakayama, Japan last night (which by our calculation makes 110 days), and covered over 3,400 nautical miles via wave power. "When waves were weak, the boat slowed down. That's the problem to be solved." !n 1996 Ken-ichi Horie has already set a world record for the fastest crossing of the Pacific Ocean in a solar-powered boat, preceded three years earlier when he pedaled a boat for 4,660 miles from Hawaii to Okinawa, setting the world record for the longest distance traveled by a pedal-powered boat.

POPSSolar-powered Peddle Boat! They say that inventors should find a need and fill it. I don't know who needs a solar boosted pedal boat, but a design concept for one exists nonetheless.

POPSPower-UP for Clean Water This is a great innovation. It is reminiscent of those bike powered generators from the 1980's that parents put on TV's and electric devices to use idle energy from children/people watching TV.
