Nereus: Kite Driven Watercraft
Mathias Koehler, a German designer, is behind the Nereus. This is a kite powered watercraft that is able to submerge for short periods of time. With a behaviour similar to a jet ski it promises hours of fun in the sea and all in an ecological way as it is essentially powered by the wind.
This scooter is equipped with fins, which are steered with the feet and joysticks (handlebars) that control the kite. There is no information regarding its price as it is still a prototype.

This is part of a NASA experiment regarding the effects of microgravity on the human body. The tests will run at the Human Test Subject Facility in Johnson Space Center.
Its not going to be all fun there, you will have to spend 16 hours being awake (in bed) and 8 sleeping. During this 80 day long experiment you have to stay lied down, slightly tilted downward (with the feet up).
Participants will spend 90 days lying in bed, (except for limited times for specific tests) with their body slightly tilted downward (head down, feet up). Every day, they will be awake for 16 hours and lights out (asleep) for 8 hours.
