Wind Up Walkie Talkies
July 2, 2009
What is it?
This is no “Wind Up”, ha ha (had to get that joke in before anyone else). What you’re looking at is a set of walkie talkies that are powered through the age old art of winding. Like clocks of old, to make these little eco-gadgets work you simply flick out the wind handle, take a firm grip of these Wind Up Walkie Talkies and “wind” like a good-un. The wind to power ratio works out quite nicely: One minute of winding equates to 10 minutes of standby or 2 minutes of talk time and if you wind your way to a full charge it will give you 8 hours of standby or an hour and a half of talk time!
Solar Mobile Phone Charger Keyring
February 2, 2009
We love it when some bright spark takes good, complicated technology and makes it easy and portable for us “average Joes” to use. This Solar Keychain is a cracking example. Mobile solar charges are not exactly new tech, but we always found them to be a bit too bulky and far too much effort to use (pull panels out of here, twist centre section there, etc…). This new gen version is much more “average Joe” friendly. Its simple instruction pamphlet (yes, we used the word pamphlet) should really only have two instructions: Attach to key ring and attach to device when needed.
