This solar powered ventilated cap is meant to keep you cool during the hot summer months.
The hat reminds me of the propeller hat that you saw geeks wearing in teen movies such as Revenge Of The Nerds. With the ecofriendly solar powered hat, you aren’t going to win any beauty competitions or high fashion awards, but if you don’t care about your personal appearance and just want to say cool, then this geeky hat may do the trick.
The Glow Brick is a solar powered light bulb situated within a glass brick. This green gadget uses solar cell technology to store the energy generated from ambient daytime light.

This cool gadget is available through Gizzo for $21.75.

However, when it comes to bird feeders, they seem to be items that are used by birds during day time hours. How cute is it to see the little finches and other critters pecking away. What about those nocturnal birds? They always seem to be forgotten, probably because while they’re awake, we’re sleeping.
Over time, we’ve seen some really crazy gadgets such as the R/C Dead Fred Zombie and the Coffin Car, but from the world of practicality, here’s a gadget that I like quite a bit. Called the SunTable, this device is a solar table that harnesses the energy of the sun to keep your gadgets running.
Yet another gadget that uses the power of the sun to provide comfort to sun worshipers, rinsing away sunscreen, chlorine or just providing a nice cleansing shower at the end of the day.
Gardening can be an amazing source of relaxation and therapy. Just getting your hands in the dirt can be a euphoric feeling and there is a certain level of pride and accomplishment that one can receive from a well manicured lawn with plants.
Here’s hoping that we see one of the large laptop manufactures get on board and pick this design concept up. The solar powered laptop is a completely autonomous device that is standalone and due to being self-contained, it has no needs for any external connections.
