A couple of days ago, we told you about a bike that can charge your cellphone while you pedal. Here is a much better concept dubbed Navitas. This concept bicycle trailer offers power generation in three different ways. Designed by Paul Smith, a final year degree student at the University of Derby in England, this bike trailer literally doubles as a renewable energy generator.
The rear wheels of the trailer splits 3 ways to become a vertical axis turbine that is capable of generating wind energy in addition to wind power. The design also incorporates a compact solar panel to provide enough energy to run and charge small devices like your iPod or cellphone. This panel also charges an onboard 24V battery that runs the lights on the bike.
