Join nPower – Presenting yet another alternative energy source – YOU!
I can’t even tell you the number of times my phone battery died at the precise moment I needed to receive an important call, or how many times my Ipod quit 10 minutes before the end of a movie I was watching. I know I am not alone in my frustration of finding a charger, or worse.. the search for an available electrical outlet. Forget about hiking or camping, okay, I’d like to forget about camping altogether, but my daughter likes it, and when she forces me to go, I have the use of my phone for what? a day? What if I had an emergency? nPower has alleviated my concern with their nifty nPower® PEG and I will never have to lose power again, no matter where I am.

Motherboard Pencil Cup
Geeks, it is about time you unite. After all, why not dress up your cubicle to reflect your interest? That’s what the Motherboard Pencil Cup is good for – it will use recycled parts from a motherboard that has been specially preserved to hold your pencils as well as other writing instruments. Retailing for $19.99 a pop, it will ensure your pencils are wrapped graphite in a copper, cadmium and lead vessel at all times, and you can also rest easy knowing that purchasing this would mean you doing your part to keep the earth green since it is made out of recycled motherboards. Measuring 3.25 x 3.25 x 4 inches in dimensions, each one of this will be unique, so you don’t have to worry about your office rival having the exact same thing a few cubicles down. We don’t suppose that those who are pretty fmailiar with DIY projects could probably come up with something like this on their own, but why do so when some money can net you a well prepared and presented model?

This Bioracer is fueled by wood pellets
This is the Bioracer from a Swedish Precer Group, and it uses biomass-based powerplants for getting vehicles in motion. It is unique as the vehicle runs on wood pellets, like a stove in a warm living room.
The vehicle has a 16 horsepower electric motor which is powered by a “24 to 96 volt, 100 to 400 amp-hour battery pack”. That is just enough power for three hours, and every 3 to 6 pounds of burned wood pellets is good enough for 10 miles of driving.

Double Solar Lamp Post Light
Lamp posts are a much more attractive way to offer outdoor lighting. They’re far more classic and interesting than just having an ordinary porch light. The down side is that it means you’ll be running wires if you do want a lamp post. That is unless you pick up a solar powered alternative, then the set up would be a whole lot faster.

I usually keep a flashlight near the backdoor of my house, so it’s handy if I need it, but this Solar Window Light would be just as useful. Instead of grabbing a normal flashlight when you need a little illumination, you could pull this light off of the window. After hanging out on the window all day long it’ll have plenty of juice to keep you from tripping over random tufts of grass in your backyard.
