A Green Project in Abu Dhabi - Masdar HQ

The latest green project named Masdar HQ in Abu Dhabi has big planning, and I really mean it. This is going to be the world's first positive energy building, which means it creates more energy than it may consume.

The worth of this project is expected to cost about $300 million, and it will be an impressive center piece for the Masdar City, which will be a $22 billion development stretching out the Abu Dhabi. This project is the vision for our greener future.

The roof pier will be the first thing to be hosted into the place, which will be all covered with solar panels that will generate enough energy for its own construction. The complete size of the structure will be about 1.3 million square feet.
Now this is what they call Intelligent Design.

Backpacer's Diary for travelers - Concept

This new concept PC by the Backpacker is quite good for the travelers to log and share their experiences. This electronic diary takes the idea of a notebook to the next level. Portable just as a laptop, the diary change its functions depending on which page you have it on.

This diary is of flexible and seems just like a book, one prettier thing is it has solar cells to get it charge while you are just moving.
Therefore, this concept device is for outdoor usage and it is good for bloggers to share their experiences.

Motherboard fan powered by waste chip heat

In Taiwan, Motherboard manufacturing company MSI is working on an interesting technology with new powerless cooling fans in their labs, which harvest the heat from processor with a small Stirling Engine. It all falls under the ECO friendly project, which we hope to see in near future. Since power saving green gadgets is hotly discussed topic, MSI has employed the Stirling Engine Theory to power a cooling fan without the need of electricity.

Heat is transferred from the motherboard northbridge chipset and according to the Stirling Engine Theory it is able to spin the cooling fan and that cools down the heatsink. MSI said that they would put world’s first powerless air cooler to an Nvidia motherboard.

Here is a demonstration video explaining how it actually works.

Gravity lamp - works 200 years

This is one of the coolest gadgets ever made, Gravia - the gravity lamp. A student in Virginia won the Greener Gadget Award for his LED lamp that works on the gravity. The lamp has a weight that needs to be raised everyday; the weight is connected to a rotor by a cord. The electricity is generated by the slow fall of a weight that spins the rotor and powering 10 LEDs inside the acrylic column, which sets whole acrylic lens on fire. The light output will be around 600-800 lumen almost equal to a 40 watt bulb.

As Gravia lamp works on it’s on, so there are no cables on the outside, which makes it clutter free and you can easily place it anywhere. Unbelievably, the lamp can be used for 200 years, if used 8 hours a day, 365 days a year. You will never buy another lamp again; it does not get much greener than that.

Calculator powered by Water

Cellphones do well most of the calculation needs today, but there are still many people who prefers to work on a calculator whether scientific or just normal. There is a calculator, which is powered by water; actually, it uses water or any other electrolytic solvent for power. The solvent or liquid creates a chemical reaction in the fuel cell with zinc anode and cathode produces electrical current that can power this water calculator for a month. I hope to see this kind of some cool innovations in laptops and cell phones as well and who knows they might be working on it right now.
This water powered calculator costs $19.99, and it available through computer gear's website.
