Living in a Capsule



This is something i've always wished to own...a mobile home! where i can do 'normal' things without interference.
The Ecocapsule was created by  Nice Architects a company based in Europe. Its a small egg-shaped house which has both basic and premium features one would need. It has a built-in kitchen with running water, its got a  flushing toilet and even a shower room.
How it is powered? Well as seen in the illustration below, its source of energy is the Sun and the Wind.

This is made possible with the built in wind turbine and solar cells. With dual source of energy, and its high-capacity battery, one can be rest assured of enough power even during periods where there's no sufficient wind or solar activities.
It also has a Water collecting system as seen above with built-in water filters to ensure rain water is equally utilized.
According to the company, the energy system of the ecapsules can support living for almost a year even in remote areas.
Though it can only be transported by attachment to a moving vehicle, the company says its working on a self-wheeled version for easier portability.
And lest i forget, it is capable of housing two people at the same time ;-)
