Rock Lobster – Eton Ruckus Rugged Solar Ghetto Blaster

May 24, 2013

Every article I come across goes on about how great these speakers are for use by the pool (because they're splash-proof), or wonderful for camping (rugged), or by the beach (solar-powered), yada-yada... But, as far as I'm concerned, they miss the most obvious utility, which is that it can be used to jump-start my car. Actually, no, it can't do that. Although, it does look ...

Solar Focus has released a Solar Kindle Cover that looks smart and provides an LED light in addition to reserve power for your Kindle Touch. The solar case contains a 1,500mAh rechargeable battery that can be used to recharge your Kindle device, or power the 800 Fatlux LED lamp for up to 50 hours on a charge. You simply press a button to release the lamp, which swivels ...

Kudocase Solar iPad Case – Mixed Reviews

August 12, 2012

As soon as you got your iPad 3, you probably noticed a reduction in battery time. With heavy use, I don't enjoy the ten hours as advertised but get something closer to eight. Kudo has an interesting solution (originally covered here as Lilypad but now updated) - called the Kudocase. It's a solar panel case that keeps the iPad juiced from ambient light (in addition to ...

Let your iPad Sip the Sun – Lilypad Solar Case

September 30, 2011

I've used solar rechargers in the past for my iPhone and never found them to be particularly useful. They have to sit for hours in bright sunlight just to give you an extra 30 minutes of talk time. There are exceptions - like the Solar Gorilla - but they tend to be large and more cumbersome. Check out a comprehensive line-up of solar rechargers that we tested earlier in the ...

iPhone Solar Charger – Eton Mobius NSP300B

September 10, 2011

An iPhone Solar Charger makes a lot of sense. There are tens of millions of these devices in the world, sucking up power every day - so why not have them soak up the energy from the sun, rather than from our grid? Not to mention that it's more convenient to have the phone recharge itself, rather than hunt for a socket - especially in an emergency. Unfortunately, when it ...

Eton Soulra XL – Solar Powered iPod Charger Boombox Dock

August 26, 2011

Here's a way to get your music off the grid - Eton's Soulra XL is a boom box and iPod music dock that gets its power from the sun. It's a boom box and a solar iPod recharger in one. Apparently, it can recharge itself in five hours under ideal conditions, offering 8 hours of listening pleasure. There is a power input if you need it, too. It looks a bit like a portable ...

Gelert Solar Shower – 20 Litres of Hot Water in the Bush

July 14, 2011

Notice the sleight of hand here in that it's called a 'Solar Shower', as opposed to 'Solar-Powered Shower'. That's because it's basically a black PVC bag that gets very hot when left out in the sun. Still, it offers 20 Litres of water on demand that is as hot as mother nature will allow. They claim that if left out in a British summer sun (which, mind you, we haven't seen ...

Solar Recharger Rocking Chair – SoftRocker from MIT

July 14, 2011

I came across an article on ecowizer for this eco-friendly, USB recharging device: The Soft Rocker. While not very portable, it is very green. At first I thought it was a cross-section of a giant ovary but later learnt that it is a rocking chair that uses your weight to let itself be pivoted easily to face the sun. When there's plenty of light, it can recharge several ...

Ralph Lauren Solar Backpack

May 7, 2011

You have to have balls to pull this one off. Not only will it make you look like a boy scout from The Borg but it comes in a TinTin-meets-Hermes orange colour. Luxury and Tech can make interesting bedfellows, as this Ralph Lauren solar backpack demonstrates. According to the website's marketing spiel, it comes in a water-resistant material. Let's hope you don't get ...

Best Portable Solar Power Chargers Reviewed [REVIEW]

October 25, 2010

Charging your portable gadgets and mobile computing devices with a portable solar power charger is a more eco-friendly and weightless solution, when you are on the road (with plenty of daylight at your disposal). The portable solar power market is really heating up (excuse the pun) and there are a variety of portable chargers to choose from. Unfortunately, there is no silver ...
