As an avid motorcyclist, I don’t really worry about my gas too much as it gets as much as or better than most hybrid cars at 55MPG+, but this inventor decided to make motorcycles even more efficient by focusing on aero-dynamics. Based on his studies, 90% of drag at 55MPH is caused by air, not your wheels. So the above design was born, which gets 214MPG going 55MPH!
Now, I don’t see how I could ride that thing and look cool but I guess the point is about going far here. T
Here’s something I missed at CES 2010 but gladly this could be the invention of the decade, a water-to-hydrogen converter. Not only does it convert water to hydrogen, it stores the hydrogen efficiently in solid matter. This means that we could possibly forego gas stations in the future, perhaps just dump some water into your hydrogen-powered car. Exciting!
Named HYDROFILL(TM) unveiled at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. The small desktop device simply plugs into the AC, a solar panel or a small wind turbine, automatically extracts hydrogen from it
You know every year, solar power is getting cheaper by the dozen, solar lights are everywhere including front yard of many homes that I see in my neighborhood. Well, there’s a way you can hack those cheap solar lights into solar LED bricks, this instructable shows you how. Brilliant.
With this in mind, I combed craigslist for some suitably shaped glass blocks, went to Home Depot for the appropriate solar light, stocked up on speaker wire and came up with the Solar Pow
Here’s another cool DIY involving recycled water bottles and some creativity, learn how to build a kayak! I think this is certainly great to know in case you shipwreck and end up in an island. Cool!

Well, CES 2010 was pretty darn big and 3 days of walking didn’t help me but it looks like Shinymedia bloggers got a good demo of Yogen Eco Chargers, good! I missed their booth because CES was just so freakin’ huge but next year I will be more prepared.
You can get it here for $39.95 at the YoGenStore.com.

Yogen green gadget chargers will be over at CES 2010, I will make sure to take a video of product demos when I am there!
I will try to get some samples so I can give them out as prizes. (or keep them myself hahaha!)
By the way, this will be my very first CES attendance, I think it will be a lot of fun. Don’t get jealous, you can still book a ticket to Vegas!
My mom has a rather large collection of Classic vinyl records, she practically owns the whole Classic genre. In the 80s, my mom used to run a Record store, think of it as a mini-version of Tower Records. (I am just glad she profited off that and got out before CDs became popular.)
Anyways, if you are like my mom who loves these vinyl records and still swear by them, you probably want to stop reading here. For anyone else who wants to re-use your vinyl records into something more useful, how about turning it into classy room dividers for your roommate’s open room a
The scientists at Sandia National Laboratories have found a way to recycle CO2 (carbon dioxide) into energy using the sun. Of course, it’s true that plants and trees have been doing this for thousands of years, turning carbon dioxide into our breathable oxygen. I think could be definitely worthwhile to keep a watch on. Who knows, we might have cars in the future that literally run off human breath. By then, we should also have cars that run purely on solar power so, more the merrier!
The machine is designed w
With so many things happening to our world right now including global warming (it’s REAL now…) and our current consumption of earth’s limited resources, it makes complete sense to build yourself DIY solar panels so you can power your consumer electronics or even add to the energy mass.
If you have enough room for solar panels (or even on your roof top), and you have some skills with electricity/making, I highly suggest you to try experimenting with solar power on your own. (but d
I have to applaud designers like this who re-use and recycle old airplane parts to make a fantastic Airplane Bed!
Since recycled furniture is popular these days, how about one recycled from an old aircraft? This bed is built from DC-9 and C-130 airplanes. Measuring 11′ long x 7′-6″ wide x 4′-6″ high, accented with plexiglass and a LED lighting, this is truly a modern addition to the bedroom.
