Solar-powered Ecocapsule lets you live off-the-grid anywhere in the world
Egg-shaped eco-capsules let travellers set up camp anywhere... and generate power with a mini wind turbine and solar panels
It is the ideal way for travellers to ensure they wake up with the perfect view - a portable eco-capsule that can be set up anywhere in the world.
The innovative, egg-shaped pods ensure travellers can camp in the most extreme corners of the world, with all the luxuries of a hotel room.
Powered solely by solar and wind energy, the tiny home has lets you live off the grid wherever your wanderlust takes you, and even has its own shower and toilet, sleeping area for two, and kitchenette.
Looking like something in a sci-fi movie, the pods are equipped with solar panels, a retractable wind-turbine and can even capture rain water.
It may look like camping, but at least with the EcoCapsules you can look forward to a hot shower and running water on your travels.
The 3306lb pods can be transported on your travels in a sea-container or can be towed on a trailer, meaning the possibilities are endless.
Bratislava-based Nice Architects are behind the quirky sleepers and said they initially designed them for people who stay in the nature for long time, for example scientists, photographers, rangers or extreme tourists.
However it quickly became apparent that they could be opened up to the wider public and even used in urban areas to combat high rent, and placed on roofs for studio space, or living quarters.

Owner and co-owner, father and daughter, Immo Stroeher and Cordula Stroeher
'Turanor PlanetSolar,' the world's largest solar powered yacht, Brisbane, Australia - 29 May 2011
The world's largest solar boat, Turanor PlanetSolar arrived on its first Australian stopover at Riverside Centre Pontoon, Brisbane, part of its quest to become the first fully solar-powered vessel to circumnavigate around the world. In its record breaking attempt, Turanor PlanetSolar will cover approximately 27,000 nautical miles in its effort to prove that current renewable energy technologies are reliable and effective and to demonstrate the potential of environmentally responsible mobility concepts.
The multi-hull catamaran measures 31 metres by 15 metres and has a solar photovoltaic surface area of over 537 square meters, hosting 38,000 high-efficiency solar cells, making it the biggest solar-powered ship in the world. Founded by 'Turanor' co-skipper Raphael Domjan, Planet Solar will use the expedition to prove that current renewable energy technologies are reliable and effective, and to advance scientific research into the production and storage of solar energy. After embarking from Monaco on September 27 2010, the 'Turanor' has already broken two records: fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by solar boat and longest distance ever covered by a solar electric vehicle.

The world's largest solar boat, Turanor PlanetSolar arrived on its first Australian stopover at Riverside Centre Pontoon, Brisbane, part of its quest to become the first fully solar-powered vessel to circumnavigate around the world. In its record breaking attempt, Turanor PlanetSolar will cover approximately 27,000 nautical miles in its effort to prove that current renewable energy technologies are reliable and effective and to demonstrate the potential of environmentally responsible mobility concepts.
The multi-hull catamaran measures 31 metres by 15 metres and has a solar photovoltaic surface area of over 537 square meters, hosting 38,000 high-efficiency solar cells, making it the biggest solar-powered ship in the world. Founded by 'Turanor' co-skipper Raphael Domjan, Planet Solar will use the expedition to prove that current renewable energy technologies are reliable and effective, and to advance scientific research into the production and storage of solar energy. After embarking from Monaco on September 27 2010, the 'Turanor' has already broken two records: fastest crossing of the Atlantic Ocean by solar boat and longest distance ever covered by a solar electric vehicle.
