Top 10 Eco-Friendly and Green Gadgets!

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Earth, Energy, Gadgets, Household, Solar by max on the April 23rd, 2008 at 6:59 am

Hi All,

I must have had my watch set to a day earlier, Earth Day was yesterday but I figured 1 day late is never too late for eco-friendly gadgets.

So here’s a round-up of various different eco-friendly and green gadgets you can buy to save the world:

solaralarm

Solar Alarm Clock - Great stuff, they should make all alarm clocks with a solar panel. How hard is that? Probably not that hard, look at all the caculators made today, they come with a solar panel. I think it’s just a simple matter of “thinking” by engineers. (Yes, engineers should really focus on making the environment better too, not just numbers…)

solar-powered-usb-bikini

Solar Powered USB Bikini - This is great stuff, more celebrities like Pamela Anderson should promote solar-powered bikinis. (Think of how many hot girls would do the same…)

Recycled Bike Chain Clock

Recycled Bike Chain Clock - At $20, you can beat any other recycled bike chain clock out there, if there is any… Now, if you can make this thing solar powered by adding a small solar cell hacked off a calculator, it will complete the masterpiece.

Recycled partbs bike

Recycled Parts Collector’s Motorcycle - As a motor-head myself constantly trying to go fast on my 2007 GSX-R600, this one is a thing of beauty, simply priceless…

via Make

solar-cooker

Satellite Solar Cooker - This one is classic, you could probably cook almost anything as long as you have sunlight.

solar-skateboard

Solar skateboard - Wow, I love finding new inventions that people invent through Google Patent Search, this one is my favorite.

Solar Fan Cap/Baseball Hat

Solar Cap - Make sure to get one of these for your next ball game for sheezy.

solar-powered-jackets

Solar Power Cells for your jacket - You can now convert your jacket into a “solar-powered” jacket simply by lugging this device and re-charge all your daily gadgets such as cellphone, iPod, etc…etc…

solar-roof-1solar-roof-2

Solar Roof - That’s right, if you own a home, it’s time to get that Photovoltaic energy from your new Solar Roof. If you can afford it and you don’t have it, it’s time to serious think about getting one…

solar-laptop-charger

Solar Laptop Charger - Ha, this one is basically a gigantic collection of solar cells but hey, you can power your laptop using the sun’s energy. It’s a must if you are thinking about heading out to the desert and go camping. Make sure to bring a broadband card with you too so you can access the internet or use a blackberry as a broadband modem like me.

Yey, that completes our plethora of gadgets dedicated to the Earth day and making our Earth more green.

Why are you not sleeping well? Sleeptracker will tell you

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Gadgets, Storage by max on the November 21st, 2006 at 3:14 pm

Looks like a cool gadget that will automatically keep track of when you are sleeping and how much sleep you actually get!

This product really was a pleasant surprise. Most of the things we review at Gear Live are gadgets with interesting or fun gimmicks that make them must-haves or horrible failures. The thing about the SLEEPTRACKER is that it doesn’t provide anything “fun” or “cool” per se. Instead, they have developed a product that actually improves your quality of life. Waking up fully energized on a daily basis is just amazing. It is almost as if there is no lost time, and you just want to seize the day. The product did exactly what it said it would do, and because of that, it gets our highest honor. This one comes very highly recommended.

Flying Alarm Clock wakes you in incredibly annoying way, cheap enough to destroy

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Gadgets by max on the November 19th, 2006 at 9:48 pm

http://zedomax.com/image/200611/flying_alarm_clock.gif

Here’s a cool alarm clock that will fly via techdigest!

To heck with broken flying clocks, the Flying Alarm Clock is the real thing. It goes off at the appointed moment, and then takes off into the air, continuing to siren, until you catch it and turn the little b–qz–ing off. Not recommended if you sleep with the windows open or your partner is a sniper given to ‘Nam flashbacks. £19.95. [GT]

Philips Smart Light Alarm Clock

Posted in Consumer, Cool by max on the October 6th, 2006 at 8:24 pm

http://zedomax.com/image/200610/zedomax_phillips_light.gif

Cool light, I need this since I cannot get up easily and can get very cranky in the mornings…

You may still be reeling from that jarring alarm that scared you out of bed this morning, so here’s a concept from Philips that could change all that, an alarm clock with a soft light that fades up over a half an hour. You can adjust its ultimate brightness, and we’re assuming there’s some kind of alarm at the end of that cycle, just to make sure you’re awake.

Philips says this simulates a natural wakeup with the sunrise, when sunlight gradually begins to peek through your closed eyelids. That sends signals to your brain to stop producing melatonin, that sleep-inducing hormone that sometimes seems to kick in at the most inopportune times. The clock will be available in France this month, and everywhere else in 2007.
