If you’re headed out for a picnic, you don’t have to go for the usual wicker basket. Instead, you can let your tech loving side show through with this Picnic Plus Cooladio Solar Cooler. It will be far more convenient than just packing all of your food in your average picnic basket.

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.
New Sole curved solar tiles promise to improve solar power generating efficiency ...
Last year, we reported on the development of solar roofing tiles which can take the place of asphalt based roofs and do double duty. But in California, many of the roofs use clay tiles which are layered onto another and give a Spanish style hacienda look. So, while solar tiles have been an intriguing (but sadly, not very efficient) solution to generating solar power, a great many in the Southwest couldn’t embrace the technology. Then came along the Solé.
My gardening talents have always been somewhat limited, it seems that every year I kill a few less plants, but I’m still definitely not skilled. I’m sure I’m not the only one that envies the perfectly symmetrical plants that hang at the homes of people that aren’t so bad at gardening. Well now instead of attempting to remember to rotate your plant, you can have a gizmo to do it for you. You won’t even have to remember to change the batteries.
The advantages of having a small solar panel are endless. I know mine has saved my rear on numerous occasions. However, even though mine is one of the smaller ones out there and it collapses to an even smaller size, it’s still just a little too big. I don’t like to have a lot of heavy items weighing down my purse and it does exactly that. Something as small as a luggage tag and just as flexible would make things a lot easier. Especially for the guys, at least I can stash my clunky solar charger in my purse. There’s no way a guy could carry it in his pocket. With this, it could easily slip into a larger sized pocket.
While you’re out traveling, especially if it’s in the great outdoors, your gadgets don’t always get the charge they really need. Which makes having a solar panel around extremely helpful. Well with this, not only would you have a way to charge your gadgets, but something to store them in as well. Be it while you’re out camping or just going from work to home, this would make things a little more convenient and not to mention eco-friendly.
It might seem odd for someone to design a household product after an onion, especially a product that is meant to sanitize the interior of your home. However, that’s just what one designer, Yun Li, did. As to what possessed them to create an onion shaped UV light, I have no idea. No matter what the shape of the gadget though, it will sanitize your home. The best part is that it does this in an eco-friendly manner, which is always a bonus.
Of all eco-friendly gadgets, a lot of the eco-friendly lights are my absolute least favorite gadget. Specifically the flashlights that are powered by being wound up. They always seem to be far too dim to actually see what it is you’re doing. Hopefully since this one is solar powered as opposed to the type that you wind up, they’ll be a little on the brighter side of things. Certainly the number of LED lights that they crammed into this flashlight will help at least a little bit.
