Mobile energy solutions
Cords suck. But we need them. We've got to power our fantastic new digital lives!
Maybe some day, we'll be able to capture the energy that surrounds us daily, and our lives will get a bit more wireless. There's power everywhere -- the sun's rays, the wind, the motion of our bodies.
At Inhabitat's Greener Gadgets Conference in February, there was a panel on just this kind of energy harvesting. I realized that I've never shared it online, and so I wanted to do that now.
Companies and technologies featured in this video: M2E (kinetic energy), HyMini (mini wind chargers), Solio (portable solar chargers), Boston Power (long-life batteries), and MTI (fuel cells).
This summary video is definitely worth watching, while the full-length panel is also available for more die-hard EcoGeeks.
