1, bicycle fender juice mixer
Who says that life without electricity means not drinking freshly squeezed juice, tequila and frozen drinks? Maybe this device is a bit bulky, but this gadget called "FenderBlender" is driven by a bicycle and can really be used as a juice drink. Whether it is a stationary indoor exercise bike or an ordinary running bike, you can have a cup of delicious freshly squeezed juice when you are tired. The device has simple structure and low technical content, but it is quite creative and environmentally friendly.
2. Solar panel luminous water bottle
If you want to take a bottle of water when you go out, why not use it to absorb some sunlight for lighting at night? This water bottle named "Light Cap 200" looks no different from our common portable water bottle, but it can use solar panels to collect solar energy and convert it into electric energy. When it is dark, the built-in photoreceptor will automatically control the lighting of the colored lights, and then it will automatically turn off the lights after dawn to continue to store new solar energy.
3.DIY wind turbines can be installed in the backyard or on the roof.
Unplugged modern life needs a kind of renewable energy that can provide enough electricity-unless you think about/kloc-the' ancient life' in the 7th century. Wind power can provide a lot of energy, but for most residential areas, using wind power to generate electricity seems out of reach. However, the cost of this DIY wind turbine is low and the parts used are easy to find. It can be placed in your backyard or on the roof to provide you with the electricity you need for your life.
4. Unplugged farm in downtown Seattle.
Living unplugged in the city can be challenging because there is not enough energy storage space. And this genius-designed urban farm, which can be located in the center of Seattle, can solve this problem. It has 365,438+0,000 square feet of rainwater collection and recycling roof, more than 34,000 square feet of solar panels, dense "farmland" for crop growth and 365,438+08 housing spaces, and can be completely self-sufficient in electricity and water.
5. Dutch bathtub
Although this Dutch bathtub looks weird, like a big boiler used by witches in fairy tales, this portable hot pool runs entirely on wood burning. Although some people question that the behavior of soaking in the bathtub itself is not green enough, it is understandable for life lovers who are "unplugged" to enjoy luxury occasionally.
6. iSolarX jacket for collecting and storing solar energy
Like the sunshine bottle introduced earlier, this iSolarX jacket can absorb solar energy. This jacket adopts iSolarX technology of interactive clothing company, and some solar cell modules are installed at the apron, which can collect and store solar energy for later use, and can also directly provide power for some equipment. This jacket can also adjust the output voltage (5V-6V) as needed, and has built-in LED light, so that you can easily check the charging status at any time.
7, "transfer energy" rocking chair
This ultra-modern "MoveYourEnergy" rocking chair has a practical and intimate function-the energy generated when you swing on the rocking chair can be transferred to a lever wheel similar to the wheel of a steam locomotive, and the wheel rotates to generate electricity, providing power for the built-in LED desk lamp, so that you can rely on your own strength to illuminate the reading on the rocking chair.
8. Aleutian minicomputer with a power of only 20 watts.
Life "unplugged" does not mean being far away from the world and isolated from the world. If you want to surf the Internet, you have to use a computer, and the computer needs a lot of power, which will bring a heavy burden to the solar or wind energy household power supply system. However, this small computer device called Aleutian has only 20 watts of power. It is specially designed for special professionals in third world countries, such as aid workers, meteorologists and engineers. Of course, it can also be used in modern houses to meet people's "unplugged" environmental protection needs. The whole device consists of a processor, a memory, a keyboard, a mouse and a 12 inch display screen, and only a small single solar panel is enough to power it.
9. The concept of new rural housing-wind power tree house.
This tree house designed by British architect Sybarite is a brand-new sustainable design scheme, which can be built in rural areas. This concept puts forward a more planned rural housing scheme-building a house on a tree. The tree house is made of fluctuating dynamic partition materials, which can use wind power to generate electricity. This tree house is easy to install and can be built in two weeks. Most of the materials used are renewable, environmentally friendly and very light.
10, manual charging electric shaver
Many people think that the unplugged life is as terrible as the original life, but it is not. Men who love "unplugged" life will not grow beards like men in primitive mountainous areas. This electric shaver named PowerPlus uses a built-in crank instead of AC power. Similar to our common hand-operated rechargeable flashlight at present, the built-in battery can be easily charged by shaking the handle to generate electricity manually.
1 1, self-sufficient "unplugged island" for wind power generation.
Residents living in Samso Island in Denmark have successfully replaced thermal power generation with wind power generation, greatly reducing carbon dioxide emissions. Every resident on this island has his own wind turbine generator, which not only meets his own needs, but also provides electricity for other parts of Europe. This is the largest carbon-neutral residential area on earth, and this self-sufficient and environmentally friendly way has set a good example for other parts of the world.
12 Flat-panel TV that saves more electricity than light bulbs.
Even if you use solar panels to generate electricity at home, you can enjoy the luxurious life of a large flat-screen TV. This 42-inch eco-friendly TV launched by Philips has excellent energy-saving characteristics, and the running power is only 75 watts. Its biggest feature is that it can dim the backlight up to 5 times, and the traditional energy-saving mode can limit the peak light output. The power in standby state is less than 0. 15W. All the materials used are lead-free, renewable and environmentally friendly.
13 solar mini fan baseball cap
This baseball cap looks a bit weird, but it is very interesting and practical. Especially in hot summer, it can bring you more comfort-solar mini-clip fan, which relies on sunlight to drive a small electric fan to cool down and prevent heatstroke. Although there is the word "mini" in the name, it is not the case from the picture. However, cool is enough! Besides, it's really environmentally friendly.
