A team of South Korean researchers have developed a piezoelectricity-based technology for charging a tablet as the user presses its touchscreen. The tablet, dubbed as Ecopad, truly justifies its name. The device well portrays a great vision of green computing. Thanks to the piezoelectric film embedded below the tablet’s touchscreen, the device will harvest power from the pressure an user deploys on the touchscreen.
The Plantbook or the ‘oxygenated notebook’, a concept designed by Seunggi Baek and Hyerim Kim, is a laptop whose technology is largely inspired by the bamboo plant that derives its nutrients when soaked in water. The design of Plantbook is amazing and unique. It comprises of a cylindrical structure with two rollout screens (for the keyboard and monitor). The green color of the notebook is a representation of its ‘green’ capabilities. There is no need for you to charge the notebook as it uses hydrogen generated by electrolysis of water as its energy source.
Making good use of the water you use for bathing, designer Victor M. Aleman has designed a concept shower/spa combo that recycles waste water and uses it to give you a nice massage. The personal shower recycles water and distributes it to provide a massage. It consists of a system of purification that includes filters and electric systems that keep the water in constant flow and temperature.
Created using a combination of sophisticated green technologies is the innovative ROLL ME, a green personal computer meant for mobile use. It gives an intuitive new/old experience of writing as well as reading old-fashion style with the use of e-paper. The use of Nanotechnology concept makes it ergonomic and innovative. The flexible low-powered electronic paper permits the user to read in high light and roll the e-paper around the computer. SolarRoll is yet another highlight where the stretchy solar panel can be rolled into the computer’s shaft.
Starting the day with a green bath is not at all a bad idea. The new Indulgence shower from Pensar is a brilliant idea to help save energy and water. This new item helps you conserve water that is wasted while bathing. By introducing a mist cycle, water and energy consumption can be lowered up to 56%. In other words, a rinse-mist-rinse sequence is repeated again and again.
