This is the flashlight to have around if you’re heavily paranoid about running out of juice and being left in the dark. It does things a bit different than your average flashlight, it doesn’t even contain batteries. It’ll make sure that you always have a bright light to see your way and does it in an eco-friendly manner. Sadly there is one serious downfall with this flashlight, it comes at a high price. Then again, all devices featuring new and cutting edge technology do seem to be that way.
The Battery Wizard promises it can recharge even disposable batteries.
Although initially more expensive, the advantage of rechargeable batteries has always been that they cut down on buying more batteries and they cut down on depleted batteries clogging our landfills. And as anyone who has tried it can testify, trying to recharge a disposable battery usually ends up in a chemical spewing explosion. But the Battery Wizard claims it has overcome all those obstacles.
Vers has just rolled out eco-friendly hand-crafted wood cases for the iPod and iPhone, where it will merge the natural beauty and strength of Walnut, Cherry and Bamboo into a single product, making them the most environmentally thoughtful cases that are on the market at the moment. The use of wood gives each case its own natural character, and bamboo offers superb toughness compared to any plastic. After all, bamboo is highly renewable due to its superior growth rate, and most of these cases, if not all, won’t look alike due to them being hand-crafted. Style won’t come cheap though, as the Vers wood cases for iPhone, iPod touch and iPod classic will retail for $39.99 while the iPod nano version is $5 cheaper. This ought to be the case for you if you happen to drive a Prius and use a MacBook…
This case is definitely for those of you out there that like to keep things nice and minimal while still giving your iPhone at least a little protection. It also would work great for those of you that spent every last cent you owned on your precious new iPhone and seem to be running short on funds. No matter what the reason, now you can own an extremely affordable iPhone case to keep your iPhone nice and safe.
One of the problems with getting energy in developing countries is where to get it from. Some have resorted to silicon solar panels, but Milan Karki has found a simpler form of solar power that uses human hair instead of silicon.
That’s right, I said human hair. Renewable energy is possible with something that everyone but Lex Luthor has. The secret is in Melanin, the pigment in hair that makes color, and its electrical conductive qualities are the secret to hair solar power.
While houses are getting greener, here’s the Solar Powered Bamboo Dollhouse that takes eco-friendly to a smaller level, especially when you have many daughters under your roof. Forget about the traditional dollhouse that is made out of wood or plastic – this one uses sustainable bamboo and even boasts solar-powered LEDs that can be used to illuminate its fully furnished interior for added effect.
An adjustable solar panel housed in the roof collects enough energy to power five LEDs (three in the “media” room wall and one in the wall of two rooms on the first floor), providing ambient yet realistic scale illumination. Composed of nine total rooms, including a spiral staircase, the dollhouse’s entire frame, walls, and furniture is made of bamboo, treated with a light water-based stain, then polished with beeswax for a natural, satin finish. Three acrylic panels slide into grooves to form partitions; they can easily be removed to customize the living space. Furnishings include beds, sofas, bookshelves, tables, and chairs–it even includes pillows, rugs, and childrens’ toys (dolls not included).
No idea why this $499.95 purchase comes with a quartet of AAA rechargeable batteries though – perhaps it is for moments when it is perpetually cloudy and you can’t get the dollhouse up and running to show off to visitors?
There is never a shortage of various portable ways to charge the iPhone, mostly due to people being very unhappy with the battery life. However, for those of us using an iPod Touch, it seems like there are far less options. Which is bad for those like me that are notorious for forgetting to charge their iPod while they’re at home. This Surge case will help out those that are always on the run and always forgetting to plug in their iPod. It’ll make sure you can get a charge no matter where you’re at.
Solar chargers are thankfully getting smaller and smaller, which is good for those of you that prefer to use renewable energy every chance you get. It’s also great for those that just would like to have a small solar charger in case of an emergency. This one is plenty small enough that it could even easily fit into your pocket. It’s ideal for all of your smaller gadgets to give you a charge when you’re in dire need of one.
