A product design is not just an isolated object, but also the complex network of relationships that constitute it for what it will be understood in context. This work wants to build a network of environmental sustainability and putting the individual at the center of this network.
José Vicente has designed SOLARIS, a sun shading system.
Designed by Bon Seop, Solar Plant is a flowerpot-shaped device that encourages natural alternative energy by converting infinite sunlight into electrical energy.
As a real plant, this Solar Plant can help people by providing alternative energy to run portable electric gadgets. When the battery signal is low, put the cover of Solar Plant by your hand. The cover feature solar panels that generate electrical energy through photosynthesis and store energy to the battery. When energy is fully charged, connect the Solar Plant with a certain electronic gadgets such as laptop, audio player, mini video player, etc and it will recharge the batteries of the device only in a few minutes.
Vlada Davydova utilizes the solar panels and lights in a new way, Chaise lounge with solar energy.
Description from Vlada Davydova:
This is a concept how to use free solar energy. With this chaise lounge, that have three different positions, you can turn solar energy into electricity and use it, for example, as a backlighting at evening or night, charge your laptop or phone, if you want to work outside, or even use it for another places.
Harnessing the biggest source of free energy in the whole solar arrangement, the Sun, the “Solar Lamp” by Mike Hages is an environment friendly lighting that other than lighting your desktop or study table as well doubles as a power source for your portable appliances. The lamp contains a photovoltaic panel to charge the battery, at the base, applying ambient sunlight. A power input allows card power supplement the power from the solar energy panel when battery charging or supply an secondary power source, in case the batteries run out during night hours. While a power output lets the user to connect another rechargeable devices to the Solar Lamp for charging over solar panel. Both power connectors apply USB-mini format to let compatibility with a number of existing adapters and to let charging via a laptop or other device.
The Solar Lamp is designed to allow the user with the means to easily customise and enhance available light. The portable design creates it a natural trip fellow for a laptop, and the utilise of rechargeable battery power ways that the Solar Lamp’s utilisation isn’t limited by the availability or accessibility of a wall outlet. By integrating the solar panel for recharging, the Solar Lamp is capable to further free itself from electric cords and outlets while getting advantage of free, renewable energy for charging itself and other devices. The light source includes an array of 12 LED lights and would rather include both yellow and blue LEDs to supply a balanced light.
Executive Summary about Solar Battery Charger by Anna Stone
Solar Battery Chargers are used to charge your batteries when you are not connected to the power grids and do not have access to another form of electricity. The way a Solar Charger works is simple. The solar panel of the battery charger collects energy from the sun and converts this into electricity. Now, there are many different types of solar battery chargers, as well as different types of batteries you might want to charge. Some solar chargers are more powerful than others. As all solar battery chargers use some type of solar panel, the amount of power they generate generally depends on the size of the panels. Solar panels are made up of individual solar cells. Solar cells are the units which create electricity out of sunlight. The more solar cells there are on a solar panel, the more electricity they create. So you will generally find that bigger solar panels produced more energy, and smaller solar panels produce less.
Some solar battery chargers work with simple AA batteries, like those that you would use to run a flashlight. Some charge the batteries of your equipment, such as the battery in your laptop computer.
You might ask why one uses a solar charger to charge a battery, instead of just directly running one’s equipment from a solar panel.
The sun’s heat might damage your cell phone. There are a variety of solar battery chargers and other portable solar power devices available on the market today. Further information and answers to common questions can be found at Solar Chargers and Portable Solar Power Devices.
How Solar Powered Battery Chargers Can Ease Your Everyday’s Life
Executive Summary about Solar Battery Charger by Assaf Katzir
Solar battery charger is one of these devices that became a necessity once we have all these electric devices that we use on a daily basis. iPod, laptop, mobile phone, PDA, GPS etc’ just name it.
