A US company called Husqvarna has just announced the release of an eco friendly gadget, the AutoMower Solar Hybrid, which is basically a solar-powered (topped up with mains electricity) automated robotic lawn mower. Once a garden is set up with an underground perimeter fence, the AutoMower Solar Hybrid can manage cutting lawns up to half an acre unattended. (more…)
If you like useless, but eco-friendly gadgets, then you’ll love the Solar Powered Dancing Panda. This ornament is suited to any window ledge or office workstation that gets a little bit of sunlight. The panda will slowly dance when it receives a bit of light. (more…)
Sheds are usually awkward things, as they’re often dark, damp and a fair distance from the house (if you’re lucky enough to have a large garden). So if you want a light for your shed, getting electricity from the house is a lot of hassle and expensive. Using a solar-powered shed light means that you don’t need to worry about that. The solar power charges a NiMH battery in 8 hours, and gives you up to 3 hours of bright light in the shed. A great eco friendly gadget, that’s useful too. (more…)
Sometimes there’s a trade off between having a useful gadget and it’s energy requirements. So if you’re interested in home security, it would be fairly likely you’d want a motion detecting flood light. However, if these lights are coming on several times in an evening, it’s probably going to cost a bit in energy costs so you also want an energy saving gadget. The Solar Powered Security Light eradicates that issue, as you charge up a battery using solar energy, and still get the security light functionality you want. (more…)
Solar power can be used for the essential things in life, such as replacing your primary electricity source. However, due to the small amounts of energy generated by solar cells, it makes sense to use them for the more novelty eco gadgets, such as these Solar Fairy Lights. On a 5 hour charge, these fairly lights can twinkle away for up to 8 hours on one of six different flash patterns. (more…)
The team over at Tom’s Hardware Guide have had a flash of inspiration and created a new eco gadget, a solar powered Wii gamestation. Using a high-def screen, a Wii, solar panel, inverter and heavy duty battery, they’ve created a slightly odd looking portable and green entertainment device. The whole system gives them an estimated 8 hours of playing time, however, the charging time via solar panel is a little longer than that. (more…)
With the summer season in full swing, restaurants and bars with outdoor gardens will be in popular demand. Even if you’re entertaining friends and family at home, you’ll probably be heading outside at some stage this summer. These Solar Umbrella Light Globes from Hammacher are perfect for lighting dining or drinking under an outdoors umbrella. The lights are charged by a 10 inch diameter solar panel that fits on top of the umbrella. (more…)
A British company by the name of IDC has announced it’s about to release a new eco gadget, a solar panel product designed to replace hot water tanks. The SolarStore product is designed to heat up to 3 full tanks of water a day by harnessing heat energy from the sun and storing that warmth in the water within the inflated solar panels. (more…)
Sometimes inventors create strange devices in the name of the environment. The solar underwear is supposedly designed to show that you can generate electricity from virtually any clothing. The underwear generates electricity for a mini electric bulletin board to display messages. (more…)
