Taking off with solar powered aircraft has just become easier than you might have thought! Solar Impulse is a Swiss aircraft project that only uses solar power to achieve the World’s first fully solar-powered intercontinental flight starting with a Successful simulation of a 72-hour (3 days and 3 nights). The aircraft was piloted alternately by two Swiss men, André Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard  from from Payerne (Switzerland) to Ouarzazate (Morocco) with an intermediate landing Read more [...]

These days , we all are looking for  renewable energy sources and solutions such as  wind power, solar energy or Generating Energy From Sea Waves...but did you know that you can use your own body heat a san ultra-portable power source?! A startup in Corvallis, Oregon, has developed a small chip that can turn body heat into electric energyIt's True! What once was  Science Fiction or Fantasy have now become true! Perpetua Power Source Technologies, Inc has made  a unique thermo-electric Read more [...]

"Solar energy can be considered “green” energy in the sense that it’s readily available and that it doesn’t release pollutants to be generated. Solar cells and batteries aren’t exactly new technology. There are already a lot of released products and gadgets where the sun is their major (and sometimes, only) power source. However, the idea of putting your device under the heat of the sweltering sun isn’t very appealing because it might overheat and end up getting fried if you don’t Read more [...]

"If you think that you need a piece of mind, this gadget is a must for you. A solar battery charger for your cellphone. It comes from Japan. This little cell phone strap from Strap-Ya is actually a small solar cell that can store energy and charge your phone. It can be charged up to 500 times–and if it’s cloudy, three hours on an AC adapter will give you a backup battery anyway. The  solar charger even comes with an AC adapter that allows it to be charged up and used as a spare battery.  Read more [...]

Styled on the look of a small bonsai tree this charger uses twenty seven solar panels on the end of each branch to produce energy from the sun and then charge the internal battery. Once charged it can provide thirty six hours of charging power for all sorts of portable devices and the great thing is that it keeps charging so long as there is sunlight. This how the Electree Solar Bonsai works; The 27 solar panels installed at the tip of the branches capture the solar energy which is then stored Read more [...]
