Solar cell

We got used to see solar chargers appearing all around especially before summer. We’ve seen and reviewed a good slag of them. Mostly, solar chargers require a bit of compromise in day-to-day usage – freedom they offer can be bogged down by taking care of them like leaving the thing in the sun and carrying extra weight. Anyway, here is a one more solar power gadget, the one for iPhone and iPod this time.

KDDI is very well-known wireless provider in Japan. Now KDDI starts its second solar-powered cell phone – the SH002 built by Sharp. The handset has a built-in solar panel. Just turn the SH002s back side to the sun and after 2 hours the handset will be charged for 140 minutes in standby mode. The charging efficiency is shown on a 1.1-inch display. Also the handset is water resistant.

Probably one of the most futuristic branches of modern hi-tech are cyber gadgets that imitate form and assignment similar to human's organs or the human's body overall. Or maybe not only human's but animal's or insect's bodies. Anyway the issue is to create a robot. Why to copy a human or an animal? – because natural incarnation is the ultimate one. One of those institutions struggling to fill a common form with piece of technology is I-SWARM project. I-SWARM project is founded by EU and receives to some serious sponsor's support – all to develop a small army of robotic fleas. Their number is supposed to be at most finitely many as a thousand and what's more, they must have a collective artificial intelligence.

Solar power has to be a long term investment to make an individual better off. Solar cells or panels are small productive and reliable today, they are not reasonably priced only. And what’s more, installation of a fully assembled solar cell complex will cost the same as the gears price and will take you intolerably long to finally set it to work for you. This is exactly why we have PICNIC Green Challenge and similar concourses giving money prices to people or enterprises that have figured out one or two environmental problems. Verdana Solar was one to get 100,000 Euros for its easy to install hence cheap solar panel. It is not yet on the market, but we hope the price will help to unleash it before summer.

Start getting prepared for summer days today, because now we can have one more solar gadget to play with. This is Solar ChumAlong solar panel which is not a breakthrough of course. We have seen a lot of these things along summer seasons, liked them frankly speaking. Solar ChumAlong is a bit different however. It has borrowed some of its features from huge and expensive solar power stations and yet has missed some everyday needed stuff. So ChumAlong is a compromise for free of charge solar energy but not a great whole-rounder with 400 USD price tag.

Is not it good to live in clean and green world. Solar powered space station appears to become the reality with its new project from PG&E. This amazing space station which is powered by the sun is something that became a reality nowadays. There will be satellites powered by the sun with a range of 22 000 miles over the Earth’s equator. Principle of operation is that generated energy is transformed into radio waves to finally convert to an Earth station.

The developers of solar power absorbing paint claim that they are developing a solar cell that can be painted on flexible plastic sheets. The paint's base is Buckyball molecule, this is the one that makes all the magic work.

The UVEE solar charger - The cheapest, most eco friendly way to charge your mobile devices.

In direct sunlight UVEE's solar panels convert solar energy into electricity which is automatically saved to its integral Li-ion battery.

When there is no sunlight available simply charge the UVEE with the supplied AC adaptor or car charger so you will never be caught out with a flat battery again. Charge virtually anything portable, UVEE�s are supplied with 16 power adaptors and can charge a huge range of portable devices including:

Mobile Phone, PDA, Ipod, Digital camera, Sat Nav, MP3 Player, DS Lite, PSP and many other small electrical appliances.

Requires sunshine and a solar cell battery (included).

"We are burnin' daylight" we got used to say as a proverb when we want to speed up someone and not lose time any more. A very high appreciation of the sunlight our ancestors put in this simple sentence sounds today in a totally new way. We should not only use sunny hours wisely, but to store energy from the sun when possible. Solar cells are now installed in many devices, buildings and gadgets to save energy. Even your had can become a part of it. This cap is also equipped with a solar panel. It is right on its peak. You will never feel it while walking in your baseball cap or draw any public attention (which you may someone find either good or bad) before you turn it on after sunset. Then you will get two LED light rays right in front of you.
