Powerskin’s SolarCharge still believes in the sun

On January 11, 2012, In Gadgets, by chenlili4869

Remember when Nokia poo-poohed the idea of solar charging as a viable way to keep a smartphone juiced? It seems that no-one told XPal Power, since its PowerSkin brand has just launched a new photovoltaic kit as part of its 2012 lineup here at CES: SolarCharge is a silicone-wrapped brick with a solar panel on one end that’ll charge most devices via a microUSB port. The 1000mAh battery tucked inside is rated to pony up around 350 minutes of talk time for your average smartphone.

Onyx develops 330-watt ‘plug-n-play’ solar panel with built-in AC outlet

On January 5, 2012, In Gadgets, News, by helobka23

Onyx’s new 330-watt solar panel isn’t the first to offer a “plug-n-play” solution for getting power to your gadgets, but it may be the first to include a standard US power outlet, and enough output to juice up a computer, light or any other appliance (within reason) through its built-in micro inverter. “You can literally point the panel at the sun and plug an extension cord directly into the panel for immediate power,” according to the Onyx PR, which you’ll find in full just past the break.

Cheap electronic skin edges us closer to cyberpunk future

On December 15, 2011, In Gadgets, News, Technology, by oliverwilliams65

Researchers working for the Department of Energy’s Berkeley Lab have figured out how to create relatively inexpensive “electronic skin” comprising carbon nanotubes enriched with semiconductors. Their process involves an enriched single walled carbon nanotube (SWNT) solution embedded in a honeycomb pattern of hexagonal holes to make it more flexible and stretchable – it’s so limber, they wrapped it around a baseball, as you can see in the photo above. Combined with inkjet printing of electrical contacts, the technology paves the way for making flexible, wearable computers and a host of other cool things that William Gibson and other cyberpunk authors thought of back in the 1980s: smart bandages, flexible solar cells and electronic skin that can sense touch

Inhabitat’s Week in Green: 5 megawatt solar roof, driverless electric cars and ten of the world’s craziest Christmas trees

On December 12, 2011, In Apple, Gadgets, News, by Lobo

Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week’s most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us — it’s the Week in Green. Solar-powered buildings heated up this week as Inhabitat reported that Apple will crown its new Cupertino headquarters with a 5 megawatt solar roof , and we took a peek inside a sun-powered prefab pod home set in the Italian Alps. We also showcased several fresh examples of wintry architecture this week as we brought you six amazing buildings made from ice and snow and we learned that BIG’s waste-to-energy ski slope incinerator was scrapped due to environmental concerns.

Inhabitat’s Week in Green: electric airplanes, CO2-storing bricks and solar-powered bags

On August 15, 2011, In Gadgets, News, Technology, by klubetor

Each week our friends at Inhabitat recap the week’s most interesting green developments and clean tech news for us — it’s the Week in Green. This week green architecture boldly went where no buildings have gone before as Inhabitat reported on Jordan’s plans for a $1.5 billion Star Trek theme park that will be powered by alternative energy. We also showcased plans for a spiraling self-sufficient skyscraper that generates its own water, food, and power, and we took a first look at a shimmering office complex in India crowned with a digital eye

Indian $70 solar slate joins XO-3 and Sakshat in vaporware race

On August 6, 2011, In Gadgets, by waciejos13

Another day, another phantom budget tablet: today’s unnamed low-cost model is manufactured by Bharat Electronics, out of India. The Bharat slate runs Android 2.2, sports solar charging for back-up power, and sings for only 3000 Rupees, or just shy of $70. No word on processor speed, RAM, or storage, but Hindu Business Line states that the Froyo pads will “allow data to be stored and uploaded in real time to a central server,” suggesting a cloud-based storage system.
