The Juice Bag Solar Beach Tote

June 21st, 2009 by Ally in Solar Powered Gear

solar-beach-tote

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

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.

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.

The Freeloader Pro has returned to offer you portable power for your plethora of gadgets and gizmos, ensuring the frustration of not having enough juice to finish up that phone call will never happen again. All you need to do is to plug in your device’s battery into the Caddy and wait for the sun to do its job, thanks to the two solar panels that are revealed when the Freeloader Pro opens up fully. The Freeloader Pro retails for £69.99 and looks to be an essential device to carry around if you’re thinking of going camping this summer.

Nexus Drive Solar Pro

May 30th, 2009 by Edwin in Mobile Phones, Solar Powered Gear

nexusdrive-solarDriving with one hand one the wheel while the other is used to hold a cellphone is a big no-no, as it distracts you greatly from your task, and this is where the Nexus Drive Solar Pro is here to help - it is a Bluetooth solar-powered speakerphone that not only lets you keep both hands on the wheel, it also allows you to carry out a conversation over the cellphone legally.

The Bluetooth Car Kit comprises a sleek black car speakerphone that mounts to your car’s windscreen via suction cups and ensures you stay safe and legal when driving, without ever missing an important phone call. The Bluetooth Car Kit comes with a variety of charging options, including USB and via your car’s cigarette lighter, but the most notable is the powerful built-in solar panel. Just two hours in daylight provides one hour of talk time, which is largely thanks to this environmentally-friendly car speakerphone using less energy than standard devices. With your phonebook transferred to your car speakerphone you can also make use of the handy Text-to-Speech feature which speaks the name/number of any incoming calls so there’s no need to take your eyes off the road. Save energy and talk for longer with the Bluetooth solar powered speakerphone!

This nifty little green device will cost you £44.95 - we love the fact that there is no need to worry about whether the batteries are charged or not before we head out for our destination since the good old sun will do its part in keeping this juiced up.

The 6-in-1 Solar Robot Kit

May 25th, 2009 by Ally in Eco Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear

61-solar-robot

Now unlike those other Transformer USB drives, this is a real transforming robot and it’s even eco-friendly. It can change into a total of 6 different robots, giving you plenty of ways to keep yourself entertained. It’s a great and pretty much pointless way to enjoy solar power. Not all solar power really needs to have a point though and this would also be a fun thing to enjoy with your children.

Worldwide Atomic Solar Watch

May 24th, 2009 by Edwin in Cool Clocks, Solar Powered Gear

solar-atom-watchHammacher carries some delectable devices from time to time, and this time round they’re offering what they dubbed the first Worldwide Atomic Solar Watch. We don’t suppose they’re wrong on that, so let’s see what this timepiece offers.

This is the first solar watch that can receive signals from six atomic clock radio broadcasts worldwide, providing unerring timekeeping while eliminating the need to set the time or replace a battery. It updates itself up to six times per day from time signals broadcast by radio clocks located in the U.S., UK, Germany, Japan (two clocks), and China. The watch will attempt to receive a signal from the nearest radio clock trasmitter (based upon the home city you select). Photovoltaic cells in the watchface capture sunlight and convert it into power for the built-in battery, lasting up to seven months without further exposure to light once fully charged. It automatically adjusts for Daylight Saving Time and provides the time in 48 cities worldwide. It has a 1/100th second stopwatch, countdown timer, and four alarms. It has a durable resin exterior that resists shocks and a double sealed case back and sealed buttons; water-resistant down to 600′.

It would be a shame if you had a more accurate way of telling time and yet still can’t make it on time for your appointments! If only this $159.95 watch came with some sort of anti-late mechanism.
