gravia lamp

This concept is the won the second place at the greener gadgets design competition. It’s a lamp powered by gravity. It looks like a big tube and has a weight that can slide from the top to the bottom. It will act like a dynamo and power the lamp for 4 hours. It’s a very neat concept that I would like to see come true. So if you have a lot of money and don’t know what to do with it. Please make it become reality!

Since solars is becoming cheaper, smaller and more flexible. So Pichaya Puttorngul a designer from San Francisco had the idea to use solar panel to recharge, batteries. Just pull the panel out wait for the sun to do its job, roll it back inside the batterie. Great idea great concept. which make me think of the USBcell, but of course with solarcell you get your energy free from the sun.
