Water Powered Gadgets and Designs!

1. Bedol Eco-Friendly Clock

Apparently this is the greenest and the meanest clock available in the market. Add plain water and some lemon juice and the clock is up and running for 8-12 weeks. The device has an in-built memory chip which remembers the time, in case the water runs out and the clock is dead. The Bedol Eco-Friendly Clock is completely pollution free, never asks for any electricity, and priced at a mere $16.00, it’s absolutely a great deal!
 
2. Water Powered Calculator

Although, calculators are nearing extinction some people still seem to like them. So here comes a calculator which runs on water (or any electrolytic liquid). Unlike most of the other calculators this has a really great design. By filling water in, the fuel cells will run for about a month and once it is out you can just refill with water and it is up and running again. This water powered calculator is priced at $20 and a great option if you want to stop using batteries.


3. Water Powered Cellphone Batteries

 

 Korean, mobile phone manufacturer Samsung, had announced earlier that they are working on a cell phone battery which would be running on water. Fuel cells will hold the water and a reaction between water and the metal interior will create Hydrogen, it will generate energy when it later reacts with Oxygen. It looks like it will generate enough energy to support your phone for 10 hours, however, the hydrogen cells would have to be replaced once or twice a week. More details on the water powered cell phone battery are expected to come out this year.


4. NoPoPo Liquid Charging Batteries

 This AA battery needs your pee to generate energy! While this sounds really crazy but it works absolutely fine. The images shows pee being transferred in to the battery through a pipette while there is no information of how you get it in to the pipette. My guess, you pee in a flask and use the pipette to get some of the pee and then you do what you see in the image. Weird, isn’t it? Well, don’t gross out guys, as water (also blood) can get the job done. Later, a mixture of magnesium and carbon inside the battery reacts with the liquid and powers the NoPoPo battery up to 500 mAh.


5. Water-Powered Mini Lantern and Flashlight

This again is a product from NoPoPo and thankfully as what we’ve discussed earlier it is alright if you don’t use pee. Well, this is a NoPoPo Water powered Mini Lantern and Flashlight set more specifically a two-in-one device. This product uses a refillable water battery and it is supposed to last for ten years without losing charge. This seems to be a great eco-friendly camping device and is available $39.99 without shipping.

6.  etLev Water Powered Jetpack

If you are interested in flying (not in an airplane), then the JetLev Flyer is just the right thing for you. This is a much safer and an environment friendly way than the personal jetpack. It seems that you can learn to take off, fly, turn and hover in under 6 minutes. It seems to be great fun over water and if given a choice, I will go for this one.

7. Irish Water-Powered Street Lamps

  
 Although this technique has been used for a long time on a much larger scale, the Donegal County Council in Ireland has come up with a solution to reduce the electricity used by street lights. The fact is, almost every city that has street lights contributes largely to the electricity consumption and a solution like this one can be a really great. The county plans to use water power to generate renewable energy for the street lights. It would be based on a water turbine and is expected to generate 110 watts of clean electricity which will run a 3-watt LED light. However, the cost for this is €3000 ($3921.90) each, this is really high but further research and development might bring in some effective changes.


8. Eco-Electric

 
  This is a concept product which will teach users about water conservation. It has a turbine pod which will allow the device to generate electricity using the existing grey water in the house. The display shows per hour water consumption rates and also the right amount of usage levels. The device may be really helpful but it may probably take a lot more time to become available.


9. Mini Hydro Turbine

Simply hook this up with any available faucet and once the water starts flowing through the in-built turbine it will generate enough electricity to power something like an electric shaver or even a hair dryer, if not available it is at least a good theory. It looks like the device will generate electricity depending on the pressure that pushes and sprays the water, a battery will store the extra energy while water will drop from the tap at a reduced speed.


10. Nano-Tech Water Drop Puzzle

To all those puzzle loving green heads, here’s something which may totally interest you. Simply add water into the panel and thanks to its interesting nano technology panel, the water becomes an “aqua drop.” It has four different difficulty levels and you have to move the drops in the right position. The puzzle is good to exercise your brain and it also helps you improve your IQ and EQ levels. The Nano-Tech Water Drop Puzzle is available as $22.00 and is a really great device to collect.
