Self-powered house/pod lets you live almost anywhere

Ecocapsule is a tiny, 86 square-foot living capsule that, as soon as next year, will enable owners to live virtually anywhere. Each mobile pod comes with sleeping space for two, a mini kitchen, a fully functional toilet and shower, storage space, a desk and two windows.
The pods, which are currently in pre-production, harvest rainwater and remove bacteria all on their own, while powering themselves with sun and wind. The capsule's battery can also charge electric cars, Gizmodo reports, making the location possibilities breathtakingly endless -- from beaches to jungles to wide-open prairies.
Pricing for the Ecocapsules is not yet available, but Slovakia-based Nice Architects do know that shipping the pods to the U.S. will not be cheap -- it's estimated to cost about $2,400 to have a pod shipped to New York City.

They need wheels so we can tow them.

Would be great for deer camp. You could even charge a jacked up golf cart with it

That would be one hell of a camp. Put that bad boy on a trailer and take it down to the river.

It has a respectable electrical system. 750 Watt wind turbin plus solar cells. Nice concept. Rainwater is collected from roof and stored below unit.

We are fricking viruses, there I said it
Posted on 5/27/15 at 9:57 pm to LSU1NSEC
But where would I keep my clothes and shoes?

agree. i love campers, especially inventive hi-tech ones. but this is basically a nice Airstream with energy upgrades you could do yourself (+ add hydroponics), for a lot less money and have wheels. Did I miss the wheels?

I'd like to see the specs on it just out of curiosity. Wondering about climate control, potable water heating, durability of frame from expansion/contraction, etc. Just curious how well this thing's made. Will probably see a lot of these in parts of Europe.

Looks like an old-school Airstream trailer with a bunch of gadgets:
