Powertrekk | A fuel cell charger for instant power anywhere. WADI > Home. WADI™ is an easy-to-use and cost-effective UV measurement device that visualises the process of solar water disinfection. WADI™ is solar-powered, operates without the use of chemicals and filters, and can help reduce waterborne diseases thanks to the power of the sun. Solar water disinfection is approved by the United Nations (UN) for being a simple and cheap water disinfection method and is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as a viable method for household water treatment: When contaminated water is filled into a transparent polyethylene terephthalate (PET) bottle and exposed to the sun, the UV radiation of the sun kills pathogens in the water.

Measuring the UV radiation and comparing it to scientific data, WADI™ visualises solar water disinfection by letting the user know as soon as the water is safe to drink. The device can be used and shared by several persons and families since many bottles of water can be purified simultaneously. Tendances - Honest By: la 1ère marque éthiquement transparente...

© iBamboo When we first saw the concept for the iBamboo speaker, we thought it was the most sustainable solution around for boosting the volume of sound coming from your iPhone. After all, it's just a stick of bamboo, one of the most quickly growing, sustainable wood materials around. The idea was also well loved by consumers, proven by how the Kickstarter project took off in its fundraising efforts.

Now, iBamboo is expanding into other materials. Is it still as sustainable? The creator behind iBamboo is looking into creating a model the same size and even shape as the bamboo version, but made out of recycled plastic. iBamboo writes, "A plastic iBamboo would serve a different niche. So while this version would have a higher carbon footprint than the bamboo version, it would still be more eco-friendly than many other options out there. Sit, Shelf & Sleep: 8 Low-Tech, Multi-purpose Chairs Transform Into Bed.

© Seung-Yong Song Small spaces benefit enormously from furniture that serves multiple purposes or which can be tucked away or transformed in the blink of an eye. Hi-tech transformer apartments aside, Korean designer Seung-Yong Song's set of transformer furniture is simple and low-tech, consisting of eight white-lacquered chairs which perform specific tasks alone, but when put together, form a bed. Each chair is open-ended in form to accommodate its prescribed function: one is a desk, featuring a storage cabinet; another chair has its backrest extended into a wardrobe hanger; another chair is acts as a shelf, while another holds the bed roll. When assembled side to side, the chairs create a base platform for the bed roll. Saving Food From The Fridge: It Will Taste Better, May Even last Longer, And Reduce Your Energy Bills.

© jihyun ryou Fridges are a recent invention; for thousands of years, people lived without them, but had many low-tech ways of making food last. Today most fridges are filled with stuff that would last just as long and probably would taste a lot better if it was never lost in the back of the fridge. They are expensive air conditioned parking lots for what Shay Salomon called "compost and condiments.

" Some are looking at alternatives to such an expensive and wasteful model. Kris De Decker of No Tech Magazine "refuses to assume that every problem has a high-tech solution," and shows the work of Korean designer Jihyun Ryou, who says "we hand over the responsibility of taking care of food to the technology, the refrigerator. We don’t observe the food any more and we don’t understand how to treat it. " © Jihyun Ryou Here is an interesting and complicated example.

Sleek Portable Water Condenser Draws Drinking Water out of Humid Air. © Reymin Deleon, Marco Tortorici and Austin Sedlbauer For those who've ever lived in humid climates and have been amazed at the buckets that one will sweat, here's one way to take advantage of a hot and sticky situation. This portable water condenser is made to condense the moisture from humid climates into drinkable water as the day progresses, in contrast to other similar but bulkier devices already available on the market.

Designed by Canadian industrial design students Reymin Deleon, Marco Tortorici and Austin Sedlbauer, the device is called NJORD after a sea god of Norse mythology. This concept "portable water creator" would boast some cool features to ensure that water is produced, says Yanko Design: An internal thermostat monitors air temperature and adjusts an internal polar polymer to create the needed conditions for condensation to occur inside the bottle. . © Reymin Deleon, Marco Tortorici and Austin Sedlbauer The designers say that.
