Designed by Seunggi Baek  & Hyerim Kim, the Plantbook is inspired from the water-soaking  abilities of a bamboo plant.<a href="http://www.tomsguide.com/us/slideshow/plant_book3,0101-300338-0-2-3-1-jpg-.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/Plant-Notebook,Q-Q-300338-13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>    This device itself looks like a bamboo stick in which the 'screen'  can be rolled in and out, splitting into two to become a virtual  keyboard and a screen. As if the whole portability factor of the  Plantbook wasn't cool enough, it charges itself using water! Much like a  real plant, the Plantbook concept utilizes an external water tank and  the process of electrolysis to produce electricity to charge the device.  <a href="http://www.tomsguide.com/us/slideshow/plant_book6,0101-300340-0-2-3-1-jpg-.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/Plant-Notebook,Q-S-300340-13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>We  all know that water and computer hardware aren't exactly the  friendliest of combinations, but the Plantbook definitely defies all  logic in that regard. It may sound completely ridiculous, but the  designers seem to have it all figured out:    “The system uses an external water tank, hence the Plantbook  continuously absorbs water when soaking it in water and generates  electrolysis using power stored in a solar heat plate installed on the  top. In this process, it is operated using hydrogen as energy source and  discharges oxygen. If you put it into a water bottle while you don’t  use the laptop, it automatically charges a battery and discharges  oxygen. A leaf-shaped strap hanging on the top is made with silicon. It  plays a role of a hand ring and a green LED indicates when the battery  is charged. Using this LED, users can check how much spare capacity the  batter has.”<a href="http://www.tomsguide.com/us/slideshow/plant_book4,0101-300339-0-2-3-1-jpg-.html" target="_blank"><img src="http://media.bestofmicro.com/Plant-Notebook,Q-R-300339-13.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" /></a>Unfortunately it is just a concept, so don't expect to be carrying your laptop in a water bottle any time soon.</blockquote>
