Its time to fasten your seat belts and get ready for a much greener drive because some people at Georgia Institute of Technology have created a compact car that capture, stores and eventually recycle carbon from vehicles to prevent the pollutant from finding its way into the atmosphere. This sustainable transportation system uses a liquid fuel and traps the carbon emission in the vehicle for later processing at a fueling station.

The Georgia Tech car can run on conventional petrol or diesel, but has an on-board processor to separate out the hydrogen in the fuel. The hydrogen is used to run the car, as in a fuel cell vehicle, giving zero-emissions operation (the only waste product is water) and the carbon is stored in a liquid solution.

In an age when recycling is becoming more and more a necessity, it always amazes me how people can build stuff like this with a pile of spare metal. What is junk for a layman is a source of an artwork for the green minded. Check out the picture above and a couple after the jump to see how trash can be turned into treasure. The model featured here is a Bumble Bee made from recycled motorcycle parts. Structures like these create a unique style of art and are a source of delight for the viewer’s eye.

Just like Josh Owen of the United States even you can create your very own CD Jewel case chandelier. Not only does it look pretty but it is much better than sending all of them to the landfill isn’t it?

Why just a chandelier, you can even make photo frames out of these jewel cases – an ingenious way to decorate your walls indeed! If you want a step-by-step tutorial then click here.

Now, that you have recycled the jewel cases so well, what you can do with the old unwanted CDs? Simple, use them as coasters or better still use your vivid imagination to make something out of them.
