Eco Factor: Concept sleigh runs no batteries.
Santa has always been thought to ride on a sleigh powered by reindeers. This year GE has a green innovation for Santa Claus. The company has designed a concept sleigh that is both high-tech and zero-emission.
The futuristic sleigh boasts icephobic coatings to prevent any ice buildup, energy-efficient OLED lighting for illumination at 30,000 feet. The sleigh features sodium batteries to store supplemental power for the sleigh and a wireless medical sensor as well. The sleigh blades are made from ceramic matrix composites that enable an efficient flight.
