Greener Gadgets: Mobile Energy Solutions
Cords suck. But, y'know, we need them. We've got to power our fantastic new digital lives! But maybe some day we'll be able to enjoy the capture the energy that surrounds us daily, and our lives will get a bit more wireless. There's power everywhere. The sun's rays, the wind, the motion of our bodies. At Inhabitat's Greener Gadgets Conference last year, there was a panel on just this kind of energy harvesting. I realized that I've never shared it with the folks at EcoGeek, and so I wanted to do that now.
Featured in this video: M2E (kinetic energy), HyMini (mini wind chargers), Solio (portable solar chargers), Boston Power (long-life batteries), and MTI (fuel cells). The summary video (above) is definitely worth watching, while the full-length panel is also available for more diehard ecogeeks.
