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.

Check out this cool LED Bike Light system you can make!

This can be made to be just a headlight or both a headlight/taillight bike light system.

My NiteRider light was off getting fixed at the factory and I needed something for my daily commute. I have used it in a 45 minute pouring rain commute on the way in to work and it worked like a champ.

Tow Motorcycle

Check out the tow motorcycle:

What you’re looking at here is a Honda Goldwing motorcycle with a special attachment you’re not going to find as an option at any dealership. The Towcycle (probably not its actual name) is capable of a very impressive transformation that would make any Autobot proud. A large mechanism on the back of the bike unfolds via a series of pistons and motors to reveal a trailer that can actually be used to tow cars.

Now keep in mind the Towcycle is probably no where near as versatile as an actual tow-truck but apparently they’ve been used in the UK at least where narrow roads can occasionally cause problems for full sized trucks. And while the trailer has its own braking system that is linked to the motorcycle’s brakes the Towcycle can only haul (and safely stop) cars of a certain weight or size.

Conference Bike = Bike powered by multiple bikers???

Posted in Consumer, Cool, Travel by max on the October 11th, 2006 at 10:57 pm

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

you know, i’ve seen some bikes before, but this one is great!

Over the weekend, I spotted this conference bike for the first time in my life

by In-N-Out Burgers (my favorite) near Fishermen’s Wharf in SF.

I guess the guy uses it to take people on a bike tour around San Francisco and Golden Gate

Bridge… Next time my friend comes from LA, I gotta take him on this.

Well the only curious thing is that the center axle seems to have some type of gas

tank or maybe it’s brakes… One thing is certain, this bike is awesome!

If you have a big family, you gotta get one of these…
