In order to reduce environmental load, we need to start thinking how to take advantage of natural energy which freely available around us. Take a look at Kazaguruma, a futuristic car that uses wind as its power. These Japanese industrial designers thought that electric vehicle indeed reduce the amount of CO2 but at the same time by generating electric, it will produce CO2. So, they decided to focus on natural energy, wind force, and dynamic lift. In order to make Kazaguruma works, they have designed a mechanism similar to a rotor ship. Wind force and Magnus effect create whirlwind at the back that makes this vehicle to move.

Designer : Ippei Iwahara, Naoki Kato, and Keisuke Fukunaga
