But what if there is a refrigerator once a week is enough to absorb the electrical energy to cool the compartment in it? [...]]]> Nowadays, the refrigerator has been widely used in every home. In addition to air conditioners, refrigerators are also one of the largest electric energy absorber because of the workings of a 24-hour non-stop.

But what if there is a refrigerator once a week is enough to absorb the electrical energy to cool the compartment in it? Of course it would be the best alternative as a replacement refrigerator that exist today.

Currently, a company already makes True Energy. Sure Chill owned technology companies get the most high-density polyurethane as insulation. In addition, a phase change material technology”innovative”- True Energy’s no secret the details – capable of storing energy until the time required.

Actually, these refrigerators only takes approximately 5 hours per day to recharge. Once fully charged, then the secret material it uses will work to maintain the temperature of the compartment remained stable until the next ten days. This ability makes it able to cool the refrigerator consistently without regard to loss of electricity supply.

In addition, the refrigerator is also equipped with intelligent monitoring system that will detect the presence of warm-temperature objects in the compartment and react with the hot issue that arises, and keeping the temperature remains between 4′C and 6′C. While other products, according to True Energy, often freeze some object while trying to maintain the correct temperature for these objects.

Although True Energy to deploy this technology on the design of the refrigerator to store vaccines, but did not rule out the refrigerator that have energy efficiency are two times better than similar products that will be applied to other cooler cabinets.

Electroluminescent technology called quantum dot LED (QLED) was first introduced by QD Vision [...]]]> Not long ago, television technology with organic LED (OLED) is introduced and many people have now a new technology developed by QD Vision and LG Display are ready to replace the OLED to be applied in a variety of plasma and LCD screens.

Electroluminescent technology called quantum dot LED (QLED) was first introduced by QD Vision in 2004. QLED developed at MIT is getting the first position in the event the International Nanotechnology Business Idea Competition.

QLED, although currently still in development stage, shows a better characteristic of the OLED itself. Even the OLED itself is already saving energy can still be exceeded by QLED, in addition to a richer color, high brightness and can be printed on very thin materials, production QLED also cheaper. QLED these advantages thanks to the use of nano technology.

If QLED technology can reach its final stages and could be brought to the stage of commercialization, then televisions with OLED technology which is currently still very expensive price will find a competitor with many advantages it has. OLED research also should re-think to continue to allocate funds in OLED research.

Logitech, a company based in Fremont, California, United States, which produces equipment such as computer [...]]]> Trends in environmentally friendly electronic devices look more clear. After a variety of electronic products using solar cells as a source of energy, now turn your computer keyboard that install small solar cells to supply electricity into the battery in it.

Logitech, a company based in Fremont, California, United States, which produces equipment such as computer mouse, keyboards, speakers and remote control, has recently introduced its K750 keyboard to type that relies entirely on solar energy. It looks like Logitech does not want half measures in designing these new products. In order to seem more environmentally friendly, Logitech uses a plastic material that is fully recyclable.

Logitch_K750Pada some previous keyboard products, Logitech has designed it as a wireless device. In this way alone Logitech has reduced the use of communication cable between the keyboard with the computer. The same design is also applied to these new keyboards.

Small solar panel that is placed at the top of the keyboard is worth 80 U.S. dollars are solely responsible for charging the battery in it. A luxmeter to detect the intensity of light there is also accompanying the keyboard. Simply use the keyboard light is able to recharge, but it certainly will give maximum results when exposed to sunlight.

Logitech AUOptronics_keyboardInovasi is not the only one. Not long after Logitech announced its new keyboard product, a company called AU Optronics launches its own keyboard that also uses solar energy as a resource. AU Optronis which stood since 1996 has been experienced in the design, development, manufacture and assembly panel thin film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD).

Not much different from K750, AU Optronics keyboard can also recharge the battery with light in the vicinity. The biggest difference is that solar cells are used. Logitech uses solar cells mounted solid and only in certain parts of the keyboard, while AU Optronics using solar cells in the form of 2.1-millimeter-thick sheets that are sensitive to touch and serve as the keyboard itself. AU Optronics own design for a laptop keyboard.

Raptor Eton prepared for emergencies and adventure enthusiasts.

One of which will release next year is the Raptor. Multifunction radio that it is intended for emergency situations and could be an option for those who like adventure as well as officers or volunteers of natural disasters, equipped with solar panels on the back to recharge the battery in it, although it can also use the other DC voltage source.

A USB is also attached to the radio. According to the press release Eton, USB functions as a medium to supply power to recharge cell phones.

Coated with a thick rubber material and waterproof – precisely anti splashing water -, the Raptor could be brought in rainy conditions. An LED flashlight that uses enough to torch in dark conditions. And if you need to open a bottle, then simply by using a bottle opener that also exist on the Raptor.

Clearly, such products will begin to flood the market. And the possibility to reduce global warming just a choice for each individual.
