Greener Gadgets Design 2008 in New York

Third Winner of Greener Gadgets Design 2008

This is a particular one, I like most. It is called "Green Cell Battery" that makes without toxic chemicals, so safe and environmentally friendly. See The vendor machine in picture; it easily exchanges with a freshly charged battery when it run out of power on the go. Don't forget, it is a universal battery for all those gadgets, too. This could be a real change for us using the batteries, plugs, adaptors and rechargers with all gadgets (mobile, laptops,etc.,). Look at those having the same function in different sizes, the reason is simple just for the marking strategy. What happen those in the end, become the waste lives on in landfill for years. Hope, this cool device would save our environment and needs. By the way, not sure "$10 label" does mean - pay every time you exchange - if it's true, no way!!!.

It is called "Gravia" (LED-lit floorlamp). The design to light is that you have to place a mass approximately 48" above the ground and in falling, powers a mechanism, generating electricity. It provides a light in a room (roughly equal to one 40 watt incandescent lightbulb) over a period of 4 hours. Not sure for me a home use anyway, how about just blowing by a mouth to generate the power...it's going to be cool.
