A Remote With No Batteries

Brian Yalung — Wed, 18 Nov 2009 22:39:07 +0000

We have seen a lot of innovative designs for remotes for our home gadgets. But if there is one thing common in them is that they make use of batteries. This is of course excluding the crank-style remote controls we have seen come out recently. But now we have one that doesn’t make use of any batteries at all. These new remotes being developed at the moment get their power from a small source called piezoelectric power.

The prototype TV remote control being shopped around to various manufacturers works on the “piezoelectric effect”, which in a nutshell converts mechanical stresses like pressure and vibration into electrical energy. These prototype remotes will be displayed at the Embedded Technology 2009 exhibition on November 18 through 20 at the PACIFICO Yokohama convention complex.

Brian Yalung — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 21:33:32 +0000

Starbucks has been known to take its own initiative as far as being eco-friendly is concerned and apparently this development should be considered the big switch. Over 8,000 stores will now be lit up by LED lighting which many may see as a great initiative to save on some energy costs and of course preach LED light alternatives.

The LED light swap will cut energy consumption by about 7% at each store, and is part of the company’s goal to cut total energy consumption by 25% by the end of 2010. With a company this size, there are a lot of ways the carbon footprint can be cut down inexpensively.

The SolarVoice 908 Bluetooth Headset.

The problem with using mobile phone headsets is that some of them are good enough only for a specific number of hours. But that would depend on where they get their source of power. As far as SolarVOice 908 released by i.Tech Dynamic, soliciting its energy from solar power makes it technically an infinite powered Bluetooth headset device add-on.

The SolarVoice weighs only 13.5g and features a built-in solar panel that harnesses solar energy whenever the panel faces the sun. A complete recharge is done through 15 hours of sunlight that in turn offers 5 hours of talk time. However, charging from a USB port or via AC mains when using the device for the first time is still recommended. The SolarVoice 908 retails for about $73 and will become available by September 10.
