oregonscientificeco

Weather stations are one of those gadgets that are always handy to have around.  You don’t have to watch the news to let you know the forecast for the day, instead you can just glance at this gadget.  With this though it even keeps you posted on the temperature and humidity indoors at various places throughout your home.  Which could come in handy in the winter to help you make sure that the whole house is staying plenty warm.

The Solar Power LED Vintage Camping Lantern

July 5th, 2009 by Ally in Solar Powered Gear

When it comes to camping lighting you typically get to choose between one that requires buying batteries or the slightly more old fashioned versions that require you to light them.  Well this camping light features a vintage look, so you can feel like you’re using an old lamp.  However, it uses solar power to keep the LEDs burning brightly, instead of running on the same thing a vintage lamp would run on.  It’s definitely the best of both worlds, old look and new technology.

Solar Vest isn’t fashionable but charges gadgets

June 30th, 2009 by Ally in Solar Powered Gear

vest

This vest is probably not something you would wear if you’re even remotely worried about fashion.  However, if you really just couldn’t possibly care any less, it would be useful.  It is a solar vest, which would be blatantly obvious to anyone around you, purely due to the giant bold white lettering that states “SOLAR VEST”.  That was kind of them to add that, just in case anyone should get confused.

Glastonbury Solar Tent from Orange

June 26th, 2009 by Mark R in Conceptual Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear, Sport

tent-night_jpg_autothumb_w-550_scaleThe Glastonbury Solar Concept Tent definitely qualifies as Coolest Gadgets material, as it has more gadgets on it than MacGyver’s knife. The U.K. company Orange has called the Glastonbury as “the tent of the future”, but this is one that I want to take “out on the rough” right now.

The tent has photovoltaic fabric, specially coated solar threads woven into the fabric. It can capture the rays of the sun and use them for some juice later. Yes, you don’t worry about your GPS or mobile phone going dead on your next camping trip. Not only that, the tent has a wireless control hub that keeps track of the energy generated and consumed. This hub has an LCD screen and even has a wireless Internet signal.

Now that weather is nice and warm outside, spending a day at the beach might be nice.  If you live close to one and are out there on a regular basis, you might want to check out this bag to take with you.  It’ll hold all of your necessary beach essentials, all the while giving your technology a little boost.  After all, spending all that time at the beach might drain your battery and give you little opportunity to charge your phone or iPod again.  You might as well invest in a way to charge your gadgets while you’re on the go.

The Solar Powered Bird-B-Gone Bird Repeller

June 15th, 2009 by Ally in Garden Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear

bird-b-gone-solar

I usually like birds, that is as long as they’re in the proper environment.  I’m not exactly fond of them when they decide to use my car as target practice though.  There are just those times when birds go from being pretty melodious creatures to being a pain.  Well if you have a situation where the birds are causing trouble on a flat surface of some kind, that’s a little out of reach for you, you could pick up this solar device.  It’s a great alternative if you aren’t ready just yet to whip out a gun and camp out.

The 4-Port USB Hub with Solar Charger

June 12th, 2009 by Ally in PC Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear, USB Gadgets

This is one of those gadgets that would be great to just toss into your laptop bag.  It’d make traveling easier and when your cellphone is dead, due to you forgetting to charge it, you’d have a backup method to charge it up again.  Whereas owning a solar charger is usually on the expensive side of things, this keeps things affordable.  Which is fantastic when you consider it’s both a solar charger and a USB hub.

June 2nd, 2009 by Ally in Solar Powered Gear

Everyone has that one item in their home that they find so incredibly awesome that it should be in a display case.  Be it your latest Lego creation or a signed action figure of some sort, your favorite items should get the special treatment.  There may be little to no point to having a table that turns, but it makes you and your special items appear important.  Plus it is sort of eco-friendly, after all it is solar powered.
