One guy from down under converted a chest freezer into a fridge and consumes only 0.1kwh a day!
Yes that’s only 100 watt-hours a day. Do you know how much this consumes in 1 hour? Lets compute, 100watts-hours in a day / 24 hours = 4.16 watt-hour. Just […]
One of the latest inventions on waste management is a Solar Powered Trash compator. The aim of this product is to reduce the frequency of garbage collection. The Santa Cruz Public works Director Mark Dettle are keen into acquiring a few units.
The solar-powered, cordless design of the BigBelly Cordless Compaction System allows the […]
Check out this bad boy! The gang from the Alternative Energy Zone - which is a Burning Man community that bills itself as ‘free of stinking, noisy, polluting generators‘ (see here) - are the mad inventors behind this rather unique weiner roaster.
I guess cooking your processed meat tubes over a pile of burning sticks […]
This thing rocks! I love push reel mowers, but when you’ve got over half an acre of lawn like I do, they become a bit tedious. Most of my neighbours may have big fancy gas-powered rider mowers, but I’d prefer one of these any day.
Unfortunately, I don’t know any welders. I wonder […]
The Dutch government recently asked some designers to come up with ideas for new styles of wind mills that might better blend in with the landscape. One group - calling themsleves 100MW Mountains - suggested grouping up to 10 turbines in arrangements like a floral bouquet.
I’m not sure what to make of the idea. […]
Here’s something you don’t see everyday, and while it’s far from being any sort of efficient energy project, it’s still very cool. A dude and his buddies built a battery from 500lb of potatoes and used it to power a small sound system. They assembled it in the back of a U-Haul truck […]
Police in Manchester, England have come up with a novel idea to cut costs and be a little more eco-responsible.
They are going to take the waste generated by the force’s 40-member team of horses and use it to fuel the heating and hot water system in the horse’s stables.
The horse dung will be collected, compressed […]
I don’t know about you, but I think there’s something a little pathetic about this device.
It’s a basic universal remote control for your home entertainment system, but it features a small finger crank to provide wind-up power. 30 revolutions of the crank gives you a full charge which will last seven days.
Here’s where I […]
Here’s something you don’t see everyday. A couple of brothers out on the west coast of the US have got something really cool going with a coffee addiction and the power of the sun.
Mike Hartkop is a ‘classically trained’ coffee roaster and his brother, David, seems to be a bit of an inventor who […]
While gadgets like these won’t save Mother Earth from our power-hungry ways, they certainly are cool and I can’t wait for the day when larger appliances can be powered this way.
The Water Powered Digital Clock features a revolutionary H2O battery that utilizes two electrodes made of special alloys that when immersed in water results in […]
