Green is the way to go and now you can look for ‘greener times ahead’ by sporting an eco friendly and green watch. You no longer need to worry about your battery weakening, as you can power them with solar energy. Batteries keep getting disposed in the most inappropriate manner and eventually end up overspilling landfills. You can show your responsibility toward the environment by buying yourself a battery free watch. Not only are these solar powered watches eco friendly, they are visually cool too. (more…)
Batteries as you know them may become a thing of the past for your Apple products as the company hopes to use hydrogen cells to produce lighter batteries that could last for weeks.
The company is staying on the cutting edge as they have recently submitted applications for patents to create new energy sources for their products.
The filings that the company submitted seem to have rather bold promises of allowing electronics to run for days or weeks without having to be recharged.
Disasters and accidents might happen anywhere in the world, as they could neither be predicted nor avoided. Though we cannot escape from such natural disasters, we may survive with the help of some emergency gadgets that rely on clean sources of energy so you don’t have to worry about gadgets that don’t have any juice when you need them the most.
If you’ve ever owned a laptop or a netbook, you know that their batteries come with a finite lifespan. But what about a longer lasting alternative to powering up your computer? Fuel cells, namely hydrogen fuel cells, not only boast a longer useful life, but they are also capable of running for weeks without requiring a recharge. Not surprisingly, it is reported that Apple is looking into using this technology, recently filing two patents incorporating the cells.
With the big strides of green technology covering the recent years, we have come across some fascinatingly innovative concepts. But there are few even among them that have that essence of adroit practicality combined with inherent credibility. In simpler terms, these seldom conceptions have the potential to appeal to the common man, and benefit him on a large scale. In relation to this, in our book the intriguing yet uncomplicated piezoelectric energy harvester certainly falls under this exalted category. According to industrial designer Benjamin Wright, the project entails the usage of emerging materials to efficiently contrive a sustainable and efficacious end product.
The growing effects of global warming, resulting from the rising of earth’s average temperature, caused by increasing concentrations of greenhouse gases which in turn is a result of consistent deforestation and burning of fossil fuels, has to be brought to a standstill without further delay to protect are planet from its evil and scrupulous actions. The expansion of sub-tropical deserts, change in the pattern of precipitation, thawing of glaciers, permafrost and ice-caps, extreme climatic behavior, drought, heavy rainfall, shifting temperature regimes, all of these include the endless evil effects of global warming on mother earth.
With all sorts of iPhones, iPads and tablets coming our way, would it not be fun to be a lane apart? To be equally stylish, but with a twist. Those who have already ‘upgraded’ themselves are going to regret for having been in a hurry. Had they waited a bit more, there was fortune coming up for them. There are many cool gadgets that would work when charged by the Sun. This is possible nowadays. Style up your lives in an eco friendly way to cope with alarming global concerns coming up at such a fast pace. This will help in keeping the environment clean.
The solar voltaic cells are one of the widely used source to produce energy. The energy produced using these photovoltaic cells is completely an eco-friendly energy and has become so popular that every people wants to try their hands on it. This way of producing energy is one of the simplest and easiest ways as you just need a few array of cells to start producing energy. These solar panels are widely used these days to produce energy in some or other way. Here is a list of seven coolest uses of photovoltaic panels that are being used by people across the globe.
After a year of testing in a remote village in India, researchers are ready to scale up production of an ultra-low-power $35 tablet called the I-slate.
The I-slate is designed to teach math and other subjects to students whose schools lack electricity or to students who don’t have access to teachers at all. The device will enter full-scale production next year, and will be the first device to apply a low-power technology called probabilistic CMOS (complementary metal-oxide semiconductor) to achieve a longer battery life.
The probabilistic CMOS approach is simple: run an ordinary microchip less stringently, sacrifice a small amount of precision, and get huge gains in energy efficiency in return. Probabilistic CMOS (CMOS refers to the technology behind most of today’s chip technologies) works particularly well in graphics and sound processing, since human vision and hearing aren’t perfect, and small errors are therefore undetectable.
