With more and more people taking up the green initiative, there is hope for the next generation just yet. After all, the idea of driving around in an electric car is appealing, with the engine being super quiet while knowing that you’ve done your bit not to enlarge the hole in the ozone layer by too much. Solar power is another aspect that more companies are looking into right now, but the conversion efficiency isn’t exactly up to snuff. i.Tech Dynamic aims to change things a little bit in the world of gadgets with its SolarCharger 906. Yes, you’ve guessed it – the SolarCharger 906 will rely on the sun’s rays to keep its internal batteries going and juiced up, but that doesn’t mean you can’t plug it into a power outlet when you need some rapid charging instead of waiting for a favorable weather report.

Buying rechargable batteries is always far better than purchasing the disposable ones. However, it’s still not a perfect method. It helps so that you’re throwing away less batteries, but at the same time you’re still plugging something into the wall and using your electricity to charge the batteries. Instead of plugging a battery charger into the wall, this ReNEW would allow for your rechargable batteries to become even more eco-friendly.
Race In a Case: Better than your average slot car racers
October 21st, 2009 by Mark R in Eco Gadgets, Toys
I never had one of those slot car racers when I was a kid, and I don’t think I would buy one for my kids now.
These things always had track that would take up way too much real estate on the floor, and you’d have to take it apart to store it. Then pieces of track would get lost, and you’d have a shorter track, assuming you could get a complete track out of it.
However, the Race in a Case is a terrific alternative to traditional slot car racing, as it packs all the racetrack including the background into one case that folds up very neatly with a handle for carrying.
It also doesn’t require any electric power. Those controllers are hand-powered. This means the faster you crank, the faster the cars go.
Kiran Solar Lantern provides affordable lighting
October 21st, 2009 by Ally in Eco Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
There are quite a few solar gadgets out there and unfortunately a lot of them can get a touch pricey. Well for once, this lantern is incredibly cheap. Instead of grabbing the kerosene or battery lantern when you head out into the world, you could grab this eco-friendly solar one. Surprisingly it’s actually said to shine brighter than your old kerosene lantern would. Plus it’ll give off light for several hours when it has a full charge stored up.

There are a great deal of solar lights that go down with the plants and make your garden look that much better. Well instead of sprucing up your plants, you can add a little mood lighting to your deck or porch. This could even be used indoors, you’d just have to make sure it stays close to a window to get the full charge it needs to run. It’s not your usual solar lamp that you find in someone’s garden, which is exactly what makes it so appealing.
Ceramic Solar Sphere Lantern seems disguised as candle
October 7th, 2009 by Ally in Eco Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
Here’s a solar lamp that almost appears to disguise itself as a candle. If someone were to walk past this lamp without paying attention or see it at night, they’d very likely write it off as a candle without giving it a second thought. Well this glazed ceramic sphere will keep on giving you eco-friendly light, without you having the same concerns as you would a candle. Things like looking for a lighter and then attempting to remember to turn it off again. You get all the soft glow you want and no risk of burning down your front porch.
Brondell Perfect Flush conserves water
October 1st, 2009 by Ally in Eco Gadgets
It’s not uncommon in some areas for people to be choosy about when they flush. Well for those of us that are in areas where water hasn’t gotten quite so scarce, such a habit almost seems archaic and just plain gross. It’s not that we don’t believe it’s necessary, but sometimes old habits are hard to kick. Well instead of completely converting to flushing less often, you could give this gadget a try. As far as water conservation goes, it’s kind of a happy medium. It has two different choices as far as the type of flush you’d like to use.
Helix Wind Turbines offer alternative clean energy
October 1st, 2009 by Edwin in Eco Gadgets
Interestingly enough, while we’re thinking about how to cut down our energy consumption, did we ever pause and give thought to just how much juice cell towers require around the clock so that you are always within reach of a signal? That’s where the Helix Wind Turbines comes in, offering an alternative source of clean energy to keep your cell towers going round the clock without emitting any additional carbon footprints onto our ecosystem. The use of this will help reduce cell tower operating costs and lower the CO2 impact of cellphone use, coming in an elegant yet unobtrusive design. They’re naturally quiet, and are able to pay for themselves within half a year by generating enough energy. Trials will start from this November in the US and Africa, so hopefully the rest of the world will catch up as well.
