Car manufacturers are not the only ones trying to contribute to cleaner forms of transport. The shipbuilding industry is not far behind in innovation, and more than convincing proof of this can be found in the form of the Kurt Strand Florida concept superyacht.
The special feature of the Tesla Solar Roof solar cells is that they act like normal roof tiles on the outside. However, their installation has become much more affordable.
With the boom in technology, humanity has increasingly started to exploit renewable energies. Solar cells are thus no longer unusual, as they are often found on various buildings. But so far we haven't had the chance to spot them on planes...
The first solar road in the world was opened in the French village of Tourouvre au Perche, which means that part of the roadway was covered with solar cells. It is supposed to generate enough energy to power street lighting.
Are you fed up with the fact that you always run out of battery just when you need your smartphone the most? If you don't want to miss 2,465 euros, then seriously consider buying Juny Watanaba's FW16 solar coat, which you can use to charge your smartphone on the go.
The LuminAID Packlite 12 solar light does not have the number 12 in its name by accident. It has a 12-part LED lighting system and provides a dozen hours of light if the light intensity is set to the minimum. If we want it to shine with all its power, the battery provides us with 6, and for emergencies we can use the third option, flashing, which extends the operating time to 32 hours. It is extremely mobile, as it turns into a "pancake" with a single twist.
After the predecessor of the solar plane Solar Impulse 2 made history several times, including as the first solar plane to make an intercontinental flight, its successor has set itself an even more daring mission, which plans to fly around the world, which has already started in Abu Dhabi. In doing so, the 2.3 tonne carbon fiber aircraft with a wingspan of 72 metres, piloted alternately by the father of the aircraft, Andre Borschberg and Bertrand Piccard from Switzerland, will be able to use only solar energy.
Wireless technology is a big plus for mobility. With this, it unlocked entanglement in cables. But a new complication has arisen, because this type of technological "nomad" needs a lot of energy to operate, and finding a power source can be just as easy as looking for a toilet in a tourist destination, when we are really pressed. We don't have this problem with Exod Helios wireless bluetooth headphones, as they harvest energy from natural light.
Bikes like to get legs. No matter how good your key or code lock is, it's not difficult for a good thief to steal your two-wheeler. But with the Skylock, the days of the unprepared are numbered. Not because it is so much stronger than the others, but because it detects movement and immediately notifies the owner of any unwanted movement on his smartphone via a wireless (Wi-Fi) or Bluetooth connection.
No matter where you go these days, you definitely take your phone with you. If you are going camping, a light source also appears at the top of the list of essential items. However, you won't find an electrical plug for a phone or a light in the wild. The small Lighthouse 250 lamp from Goal Zero will eliminate the problems that arise when finding a power source.
