“JAQ” Up Your Phone’s Juice

We all know how easy our mobile devices lose battery juice and leave us hanging just when we need them the most! Well, someone thought that was a big problem until they invented the mobile charger – some even using the sun’s power to charge your phone – ensuring you get going without finding the nearest wall socket, if you kept the mobile charger charged that is!

Now, even better, a company MyFC has devised a slick solar charger that doesn’t use electric power to charge itself or your phone! It uses salt and water! Yes, salt and water!

We have all heard the story and we feel the evidence around us, conventional electric power we use needs to be cut down, not just to reduce our energy bills, but also to save our planet for ourselves and our descendants! As the saying goes, necessity is the mother of invention, this holds true as we have seen more and more innovations that help us curb our wasteful, destructive energy consumption to help us better harness less environmentally toxic and more efficient clean energy.

JAQ is a small device, but it is part of a movement to reduce our negative impact on our environment!

Go Green On Your Vegetables With GoSun

The sun is the biggest ball of energy we know of in our solar system. There is so much power in our sun that can last us a life time only if we find ways to use it. We are very keen on harnessing such immense and long lasting power because we have evidence around us that burning fuel is hurting our environment.

Converting solar energy into electricity, since discovered in 1839 has been in research, and we are getting better at getting power from the sun. However, today we are still theorising that solar panel used to harness the sun’s power will only be 50% efficient in the nearest future. So when there is an applied advancement in solar power generation, we take a step closer to 100% efficiency harvesting the sun’s power and a greener earth.

Meet the GoSun stove!

It is simple, the GoSun cooks your food without gas or fire! It boils, fry, or bake your food using the heat from the sun! It works by transforming solar light into heat to evenly make that delicious meal. Oh yes and it works at night or cloudy days! Amazing right? Don’t just take our word for it, take a look at the video below.

We need more of innovations like this if we are to save our planet from ourselves! We say kudos to the inventor of this nifty device, and wish to see more applied solar energy devices. One day, every electronic device we use might just run on solar power! A green world indeed!

 

Ampy Charges Your Phone As You Move!

In a world were batteries are becoming the new gold (every electronic device you carry has one). The biggest competition amongst tech giants is to make batteries that last longer and charge even faster.

While we wait for the big kahunas and the geniuses they hire to put together what will literally save us time and energy someday, a company wants to put your own energy into work.  Meet Ampy!

Ampy charges your phone as you move and according to the makers, an hour of exercise will add 5 hours battery life to your phone.

If you are less active, you can charge Ampy using your old chargers too. Ampy also comes with straps to hold it in place – on your arm or leg, and is sweatproof. The makers are so helpful that they give you a free app and even tell you the best places to strap Ampy to.

We very much wish to see inventions like this in the future that will be powerful enough to charge almost every device you want. e.g your electric car! Kudos!
