by: EnviroGadget, 2011-05-30 09:00:15 UTC
This H2O Water Powered Shower Radio allows anyone to enjoy a good sing a long in the shower, safe in the knowledge they are not needlessly wasting batteries to do so. The radio is powered by the water moving through the shower, allowing you to enjoy music in an energy efficient way.
The H2O Water Powered Shower Radio makes use of a micro H2O turbine to produce the electricity to provide you with a radio in your shower. The easy to install device simply needs attaching to your shower unit to allow the water that runs to your shower head to pass through the device.
This FM shower radio is able to remember what radio station you last listened to, ready for the next time you step into the shower. The power produced from the turbine is stored in an internal Ni-Mh rechargeable battery and does allow you to continue to listen to your station once the shower has been turned off for a short period of time.
The H2O Water Powered Shower Radio is a wonderful device for those who love to listen to the radio in the shower but who hate to think of the amount of batteries they drain doing so. The shower makes use of energy already being provided, making it an energy efficient and eco-friendly way to listen to your favorite stations. Just try not to spend too much extra time in the shower enjoying it!
The H2O Water Powered Shower Radio is available from Gizoo for just £34.95 with free delivery.

Personal Electric Vehicle collapses into a trolley for easy transportation

Jaazhh:
With ever-increasing traffic on roads, the personal means of transport is becoming popular day by day. But how about an EV, which can be snapped and carried anywhere? Keeping the pollution factor and traffic chocked roads in mind, designer Alan Fratoni has designed a compact means of transportation, dubbed the “Personal Electric Vehicle,” which allows clean and brisk commutation on packed out intercity roads.
Alan wanted to craft a vehicle which could carry a person from one point to the other, like from their home to a bus stop, metro station or subway. Normally, a person is expected to park his automobile before boarding a bus or train, but not in this case. You can easily collapse the vehicle and carry it with you with ease. The cute vehicle can be used as a trolley to carry luggage or for that matter of fact anything. Once you reach your destination, erect the vehicle and ride on it again.
Crafted in a sleek manner, it has three wheels that provide a great balance. It can be charged anywhere without the restriction of pumping it with life only in a garage. Personal Electric Vehicle is an answer to all the short distance travel, and that too the eco-friendly way. Easy to charge and comfortable to ride, it will roll into your heart in no time.
[Thanks Alan]
Curbing the E-Waste Problem

It's easy to get excited about getting new
gadgets, but we rarely give an afterthought to what happens to our old laptops or cell phones after we put them out on the curb. Some of us might be more responsible and bring them to the nearest recycling facility for proper disposal, but the fact of the matter is
e-waste -- which includes any discarded or end-of-life appliances that used electricity or has electrically-powered parts -- contain both valuable and hazardous materials such as lead or mercury. And like other toxin-containing goods,

Kitchen Waste Heat the Home
by: Yanko Design, 2011-05-31 07:02:11 UTC
The Celcius re-thinks the purpose of waste disposals and recycling units in the kitchen. The idea is to have a workflow where enzymes breakdown the organic waste to create energy, which is sufficient to heat up your home. Filed under the Re-Source project for Domus Academy, the concept is in sync with the dynamic expectations of our evolving kitchen appliances.
