Roberts SolarDAB Radio

In the office, kitchen or even in the garden we all ways like listening to the radio. Therefore you guess why we like Roberts SolarDAB Radio which also comes in 5 eco cool colours. As well as being stylish, sleek and compact, in good conditions the integrated solar panel can generate sufficient power to charge the batteries and power the radio. To monitor the power level being generated and consumed, there is a handy ‘level indicator’ on the display screen.

Once the rechargeable batteries have received a full charge via sunlight, solarDAB’s low power consumption allows the battery to power the radio for up to 27 hours. During this time, you can use your radio away from sunlight or mains electricity until further recharging is required. Should sufficient sunlight not be available when the radio is needed, you can always recharge the batteries via the supplied mains adapter.

Due to its large battery capacity and compact style, the solarDAB radio is ideal for use in gardens, on windowsills, in greenhouses, or even further afield while camping, travelling, or on holiday. To add to the solarDAB’s eco-friendly credentials, it is packaged using cardboard produced from recycled waste paper.

Alkaline Battery Regenerator

If you are good at recycling house hold waste then we would expect that you will have a box in the garage with loads of old batteries it. The questions we ask ourselves what do with them as our local council recycling centre does not take them. Then we came across this eco gadget, the Alkaline Battery Regenerator. It sounds crazy but this eco gadget enables you to reuse your normal batteries up to 100 times.

To summarise:

Advanced processor control for simple plug and go operation.
4 charging docks for regenerating AA and AAA
Simultaneous regenerating of mixed types and sizes
Completely safe; protection against overcharge, overheat, short-circuit, and polarity reversal
LED indicator turns off when renewing process is complete
Regenerates most of brands of batteries
Saves money

The main reason why alkaline batteries lose their charge is down to a build-up of impurities and foreign matter on and in the positive electrode and the coating of the active material. The resulting build up reduces the efficiency of the battery and gives the impression the battery is dead or wasted.

This eco alkaline battery regenerator offers a new alternative as rather than throwing away dead alkaline batteries you can now bring them back to life. This is great news as we can now reuse loads of our old batteries and avoid placing them in landfill and save money.

Firewinder® – The Wind Powered Outdoor Light

This product is so cool and will wow your friends this Autumn. If you are going to have some fireworks at home, add some of these to your event.

The Firewinder® Wind-Powered Outdoor Light is a sculpturally designed outdoor light, which harnesses the wind to create a beautiful upward spiralling light every time the wind blows. In the daylight and when the wind isn’t blowing, the product looks unobtrusive. But at night and when the wind blows, it creates a silent wind-powered firework show, illuminating an amazing ‘never-ending’ and completely mesmerising twirl of light.

Tom Lawton inspired and developed this funky garden feature, The Firewinder® in the UK, in the hope that it would help people think about the invisible beauty, awesome power and endless resource of the alternative energies that encircle us. Tom’s dream is that the Firewinder® will be adopted as an international symbol of sustainability throughout the world.

A Buddhist teacher, from Java Indonesia, who took considerable interest in the Firewinder’s creation, made a suggestion to improve the design. His important and insightful snippet was, ‘The Firewinder® must turn clockwise to evoke the good spirits’, so Tom re-engineered the mechanical design and every Firewinder® now spins in a clockwise direction, itself in turn calling forth on the good spirits, every time the wind blows.

Sun and Moon Jar – Free Sunlight Forever

The team at Eco Trend Spotter just love these two products which make great affordable and cool gifts. The Sun Jar products were the winner of the Eco Friendly Gift of the Year Award.

Made with a traditional Mason jar and high tech energy efficient lighting! Captured inside the jar are a highly efficient solar cell, rechargeable battery and low energy LED lamps.

When the jar is placed in sunlight the solar cell creates an electrical current that charges the battery over a few hours. This energy is then used at night to power the three LED lamps inside the jar.

The light is diffused by the frosted jar and give the appearance of sunlight emitting from the (warm coloured LED lights are used to give a more natural and warm light).

You may have noticed that there is no switch on the sun jar – in fact there are no visible controls at all – there is a clever light sensor inside that automatically activates the lights when it gets dark or lights are turned out!*

Mason Jars are not only beautiful but by their very nature they are completely water tight – so the Sun Jar can happily be left outside in any weather conditions.

The Sun Jar makeres a perfect garden light or night light for a kids bedroom.
