  • MajorJJH, on 05/05/2008, -1/+2Give me something that cooks meat, and I'm happy... see, removing one more cow, and using solar heat to cook it!
  • WCL23, on 05/05/2008, -3/+1POWER PURSE
  • davidrools, on 05/05/2008, -1/+10I don't care how much I get made fun of, I'm gonna start carrying that purse!
  • fsjenkins2000, on 05/05/2008, -0/+4"6. Crank your Gadgets"

  • davidrools, on 05/05/2008, -0/+15I wish my office would install that fiber optic sunlight piping system. these fluorescent lights are very slowly driving me insane.
  • axiomflash, on 05/05/2008, -2/+23He's a more renewable idea: Stop buying stupid ***** you don't need!
  • Beatmiser, on 05/05/2008, -2/+2I really liked the solar powered Fiber Optic lights. Kind of novelty and not very practical, but then again, I guess that's largely what describes 'Gaget' these days now that things like mp3 players have moved from 'gadget' to 'everyday'.
  • Shots, on 05/05/2008, -2/+3My bluetooth headset powered wirelessly by the solar charger / briefcase.

    Where's the solar-powered beer cooler for hot days by the beach?

  • objectcode, on 05/05/2008, -7/+1***** renewable. i need latest and greatest
    • lmf49, on 05/05/2008, -0/+4or haven't you noticed, the latest and greatest is "renewable."
      • altcountryman, on 05/05/2008, -0/+1Green is the new scratch-prone, glossy white.
  • TheDowntownKing, on 05/05/2008, -1/+68. Fridge Without Power

    It is literally, simply amazing
    • BlackStrain, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2I wonder if it would be possible to gather the water as it evaporates and somehow feed it back in in a closed system making it work without using more water.
      • bentrinh, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2You'd be feeding the heat back then.
    • Black6x, on 05/05/2008, -0/+1I'm surprised that it was only #8 on the list. It's a world-changing idea, and shows a lot of ingenuity, unlike some of the other ones. I mean, how much thinking does it take to slap solar panels on the outside of something?
  • santiago1, on 05/05/2008, -8/+1 ....***** hippies....
  • XxtraLarGe, on 05/05/2008, -1/+2Capitalism will succeed in cleaning up the environment when it becomes more profitable than technologies that pollute the environment.
  • atrophic, on 05/05/2008, -2/+0It's nice to see some more publicity for the power purse by Solarjo. I'm excited to see it hit the market.
  • bincoder, on 05/05/2008, -1/+1A swamp cooler to keep your food coolish while at the BBQ? Ice itself hardly does the job. If I had the money, I would jump all over colemans cooler that uses a very small but very expensive sterling engine to turn a few 10s of watts into brutal cold in an extremely efficient manner.
  • sackmana, on 05/05/2008, -1/+1Ummm...I guess whoever wrote this didn't think that as heavy a cooler full of ice may be, a cooler full of wet sand is a hell of a lot heavier.
  • Beowulf2112, on 05/05/2008, -2/+1[url]ttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9JdnF6HUo5s[/url]

    I Promise its not Rick Roll
  • woofers07, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2The Nalgene lantern cap is definitely the coolest on the list, although I'd imagine the light in fairly minimal... still perfect for backpacking though
  • altidude, on 05/05/2008, -0/+2All ten items on one page? I am impressed!
  • zenithmbr, on 05/05/2008, -1/+1dugg for sexy muscley biceps
  • DaviDaviDaviD, on 05/05/2008, -0/+1Holey *****, is this a tech story on Digg?

    To the point nice list, I really hope more gadgets become environmentally friendly soon.
  • SSCrow, on 05/05/2008, -0/+1We need Solar Panels on our roofs dammit.
    Why is it taking so long for Solar panels to become quite affordable in large amounts of Square footage?
  • pefnam, on 05/06/2008, -0/+0A way to power all of your gadgets and look cool:
