Further to my earlier Post explaining how Small Solar Gadgets could help reduce the demand on the Electrical Grid and the use of old CO2  Emitting  technologies these are a few more awesome Solar Gadgets that I use on a daily basis.

They are especially useful if you are still on the Grid and the Power goes out.  We have had several Blackouts over the past few years, mostly due to increasingly Powerful Wind and Ice Storms. These devices allowed me to get the Latest News and update on the situation, including the location of a nearby Tornado. They also allowed me to keep my phone and other Devices Charged.

The thing I like best about both of these very affordable devices is the Dynamo Crank that allows you to create Power even when there is no sun ... ie: In the Middle of a storm.

I do not understand why more Inventions have not been created to use this Dynamo Technology to create Trickle Charging Stations in every home.

Why do we not have Stationary Bikes set up with a Dynamo charger that could keep large Lithium batteries topped up. Rather than going to the gym for exercise ... go to your Stationary Dynamo Bike and Trickle Charge your Home's Power Source ?

Why not ?

My next favorite Solar Gadget is this LED  Solar Lantern with Dynamo that I use to keep my phone, camera and other electronic devices charged whenever Off the Grid.

Any Electrical Engineers and Inventors out there ? 

I would love to see what else is possible .... In the mean time I will keep reducing my own Electrical Grid Consumption and Carbon Footprint by charging everything I can with Solar and Dynamo Technology.   

This is the type of Technology that gives me Hope !
