The E.Capsule is a concept designed by Alex Dumler that will store energy in the form of a tree. The E.Capsule generates and accumulates energy into a [reuseable capsule](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fire-capsule-oil-lamp) which can be used in specially designed vehicles.

In the future, these energy trees will replace the conventional gas stations (termed as [Energy stations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/enginuity-portable-power-station)) that can provide better energy supply. E.Capsule uses natural energy sources like [wind, rain and sun power](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-electric-pavilion) to accumulate and store energy.
