Magical Thinking Breaks Amarpreet Gill�s Bristol Car Concept

I really wish industrial designers would leave the engineering to, you know, engineers. Nothing irks me than a designer trying his or her hand at conjuring up some magical, black box powerplant for their vehicle design studies. Take Amarpreet Gill for instance, a Leicester-based designer and the brains behind the blandly named Bristol Car Concept.
Using a combination of piezoelectric �threads� as well as photovoltaic paint and glass, the Bristol Car Concept �harvests energy from the surrounding environment, rewarding the consumer with the gift of free energy�.
