The Powerfilm Solar Battery Charger
June 3rd, 2008 by Ally in Eco Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
Many of us have wireless mouses and other random gadgets that require batteries and for most of us we have resorted to rechargeable batteries. Well if you’re going to charge them up every other day, you might as well do it the eco-friendly way. This way you seem environmentally concsious, even if you do spend your entire day on your computer, at least the batteries that keep your mouse running will be a bit more energy efficient. Also anyone who will be out camping or hiking this summer and has a flashlight or other small gadgets that need to keep going this solar charger can go anywhere with you.

Solar Keyhole Light
June 1st, 2008 by Edwin in Eco Gadgets, Electronic Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
It is bad enough that your porch isn’t lighted up at night, making it hard to open the lock on your door, but things get even worse when you’ve had a wee bit too much to drink, so even finding the right key can be quite the challenge. The Solar Keyhole Light could help alleviate some of your troubles by offering a green way of powering your door area so that you can get in soonest possible during the night.
An energy-saving white LED is powered via an integral solar panel that harnesses the suns rays to recharge the internal battery – great for you and the environment. The solar light stays on for 10 seconds, giving you plenty of time to unlock and open the door before the solar key light automatically switches off to conserve energy.
For folks who like choice, this one comes with a trio of interchangeable covers that provide a greater variety of mix-and-match combinations. The Solar Keyhole Light will retail for £12.
Solar powered speedboat
May 25th, 2008 by Edwin in Eco Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear, Vehicle Gadgets
Solar power looks like it is here to stay, and we have so far seen solar powered cars being the Holy Grail in the fight to be independent of black gold, or rather, oil. Hybrid cars aren’t exactly catching on as fast as environmentalists prefer, and solar powered cars have not made the impact they were supposed to mainly because the technology is not yet there for a powerful, conventionally shaped vehicle that runs entirely off the sun’s rays. Never mind modes of transportation on land - here we have a solar powered speedboat that will slice through water pretty much in the same way an ordinary speedboat does, save for the fact that this one relies on the sun to power its electric engine instead.
Solar Powered Cordless Fan uses the sun to keep you cool
April 29th, 2008 by Chris in Electronic Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
Until this past weekend came, the area where I live was experiencing near summer-like temperatures outside. I was even forced for a couple of days to kick on the old A/C for a little bit. Most of the time I made do with just some fans around the house, which got me thinking about how much power I must be using running those fans all the time. If I had one of these Solar Powered Cordless Fans, I wouldn’t need to wonder.
Backpack solar heater could help the planet
April 28th, 2008 by James in Miscellaneous Gadgets, Mobile Phones, Solar Powered Gear
It looks like one of those inflatable pool loungers you use to soak up the sun. However, SolarStore panels are meant for a more practical use. Backpackers can use them to store up to 3 full tanks of water per day while heating the water at the same time. Easy to fold, easier to use, SolarStore panels are now being looked to provide not only heated water, but also solar energy to low income and third world housing.
Solar Breeze Pool Skimmer takes some of the work out of pool maintenance
April 22nd, 2008 by Chris in Electronic Gadgets, Home Gadgets, Solar Powered Gear
When I was a kid, I was lucky enough to have a pool. I was excited when my parents informed me that we would be getting one, and it was awesome jumping in it that first time. Of course it also meant that I had the task of keeping the pool clean. What I wouldn’t have given back then to have a couple of handy gadgets to do my work for me.
Keep your car fresh using solar power
April 10th, 2008 by Chris in Solar Powered Gear, Vehicle Gadgets
Cars tend to attract odors, especially when several people are crammed in one for long trips. Add in a couple of smokers and the smell can become overbearing. Thankfully I don’t smoke, and most of the people that ride with me don’t either, so I just stick with the occasional pine tree air freshener. However, if you want something a little more hi-tech cleaning your air, you might try out this little gadget.
