Sun Jar - A perfect gift for any age

Sun and Moon Jars make a great gift for anyone. Just leave them in the sunlight to charge up (they don't work so well on cloudy days) and then you have a gentle blue or orange glow at night (depending on your choice of jar).


* Winner of the Eco Friendly Gift of the Year Award
* Free sunlight forever
* Rechargeable battery
* Energy efficient LED light
* Automatic switch activates Jars when it gets dark and can be switched off
* Natural orange or soothing blue glow
* Waterproof
* Great for barbecues and camping trips
* 5 hours light from one charge

The light isn't really bright enough to read by unless you have the jar very close to the page but they are useful at night for finding your way around, plus, you save on electricity by not switching lights on and off. Being weatherproof, they make a great addition to the garden and by setting the Jar to come on automatically when it's dark, you can have an interesting glow in your garden.”

Solar Globe - Amazing and Rotating

Developed by a team of physicists, this is the globe that harnesses light and the earth's magnetic pull to rotate continuously, without cords, batteries, or human intervention. Three photoreceptors inside the globe gather incandescent light or indirect sunlight to power an internal drive. This mechanism interacts with the earth's magnetic field, providing the torque to spin the globe.

The globe is suspended in a clear liquid inside a clear acrylic shell, creating a frictionless environment (much like the earth's) that enables the globe to rotate steadily and silently at a gentle pace. The acrylic shell can spin 360º in any direction yet the globe itself will always remain upright and in proper alignment. The globe comes with an acrylic stand but it will rotate on most other surfaces, including your hand. The 8 1/2"-diameter globe portrays a political map of the world labeled with 3,500 place names, including continents, countries, cities, and bodies of water. 12" H x 8 1/2" Diam. (12 3/4 lbs.)

Solar Case for Ipod Touch

Here is an interesting case for the iPod Touch, the Surge case from Novathink, which will recharge your iPod via the built in solar panel.

The Surge iPod case features a 1500 mAh 3.7 V lithium-ion battery, that will give you up to 120% extra power for your iPod, and it can be recharged via USB or via the built in solar panel on the back.

The Surge Solar iPod Touch Case will come in a choice of funky colors, including green, pink, blue and black, and it will go on sale later this month for $70.

I think its a great idea, having a solar panel on the back of the case, lets hope they release a version for the iPhone 3G and 3GS.

Samsung's new phone is ready for sun bath

Samsung is going green with it’s first solar-powered GSM cell phone. Now you don't have to worry about your phone running out of juice again.

This solar-powered GSM mobile phone, the E1107, also known by the catchier name Crest Solar. The phone is a dual-band GSM (900MHz and 1800MHz) and can be charged anywhere the sun is shining. Other features include all the usual refinements including an FM radio and MP3 ringtones, and games. It can even work as a flashlight but you can bet that’s a battery killer which will force you to wait until sunrise to recharge without the AC adapter.

Security features include Samsung’s proprietary Mobile Tracker - which will alert the authorities in the event of an emergency with an SOS like signal, and there’s also a fake call feature for use when wanting to disengage from a sticky situation with a well timed phone call.

Well in India it is estimated to cost about $59 but there's no word as to when or if it will be available in the U.S.

This is the real Transformer Bot - Eco Friendly

Everyone likes to own a real transforming robot and guess what now you can because this is a real transforming robot and it’s even eco-friendly. It can change into a total of 6 different robots, giving you plenty of ways to keep yourself entertained. It’s a great and pretty much pointless way to enjoy solar power. Not all solar power really needs to have a point though and this would also be a fun thing to enjoy with your children.

It can change from a robotic dog, to a boat, moving plane, car, windmill and lastly a desktop plane. If you run out of sunlight for some reason, you can also charge this up by utilizing a 50 watt bulb or brighter.


There are a grand total of 25 parts and no screws. Since there are so many parts, this is probably something you should help your kids with if you give it to them. You can pick it up for £13.00 or about $21 from Red5.
