But this “baby” has a very serious technical indicators. It can travel at a speed of 120 kilometers per hour and pass on a full battery just over 100 km. Battery Pack Time – 3:00.
But the most interesting thing in the Opel Rak e – its appearance. As mentioned above, a large part of the body of the electric vehicle is made of durable glass. In this dome can be lifted up, sitting in the car or out of it.

Transparent Gadgets and Devices Transparent Monitor
Transparent monitors – this is not such a useless idea, what may seem at first glance. Indeed, these technologies will open before us new horizons of possibilities. For example, transparent screens can be used as a window in a room or in a vehicle windshield.The latter will allow the driver to get in motion a variety of interactive information without being distracted from looking at the road.
However, on a fully transparent and functional screens of it until it is not – the technology does not allow to achieve a similar result. But big companies like Samsung and LG regularly introduces new models of monitors that have varying degrees of transparency. At this point, it is about 75-80 percent of transmitted light that is already very close to the necessary parameters for commercial use.
Transparent phone from Polytron Technologies
The Taiwanese company Polytron Technologies first in the world realized the dream of many engineers and developers about creating a mobile phone with a transparent screen . At the heart of this device is the technology Switchable Glass (Switchable Glass), used light-emitting liquid crystals.
During operation, a mobile phone, these nano-components are scattered on the glass, reproducing the specific images and responding to touch screen smartphone that turns into a full touchscreen interface.
However, the mobile phone from Polytron Technologies is not fully transparent. As such it is impossible to make the battery of the device, as well as some of his other technical components. But when commercial production they can hide behind an opaque frame.
Moverio BT-200 – transparent smart glasses from Epson
The vast majority of modern “smart” glasses are tinted eyepieces or concealing their technical stuffing and projected video, or do without these, as implemented in the Google Glass. But Epson Moverio BT-200 – the world’s first such device, which is similar, in fact, the usual transparent glasses.
“Smart” glasses Epson Moverio BT-200 have a dual-core TI OMAP 4460 processor with a clock frequency of 1.2 GHz, 1GB of RAM and 8GB constant. Built-in device lithium-ion battery has a capacity of 2750 mAh.
Epson Moverio BT-200 – is also one of the few such devices on the market, which has not one but two built-in eyepieces miniature displays that allows you to use glasses to see three-dimensional images and also watch videos in 3D.

Luminescent solar concentrators – transparent solar panels
Most modern solar panels are best installed on the roof or in the yard of a private home, because they are large enough and does not reflect light. But gradually began to appear the devices that can be placed even on the windows in the house, because they are completely transparent.
One of the “first signs” of this technological breakthrough can be called a panel Luminescent solar concentrators, created by students and faculty of the Massachusetts State University.
However, with obvious advantages, in panels Luminescent solar concentrators and have a significant disadvantage – they stop only 5 percent of the light that while traditional solar cells can capture up to 40%.
