People are starting to aware of the crucial phase of power-crisis, and more products are launched in the market that use solar energy as its power. Take a look at this Solar Driveway Light, it gets the sun energy during day time, and light up at night time. Just because this solar driveway light use solar energy doesn’t mean that the light is weak. This solar energy driveway light is strong enough to bear heavy weight of a vehicle. An ecofriendly and energy-efficient way to add to the safety and beauty of our surroundings.

Wang Yigang has designed flow, a wind solar energy system. This solar and wind energy collection system uses arciform photovoltaic cells to enable a better collection of sun light. At the same time, the shell, which is composed of six photovoltaic cells, can be used as wind concentrator. The wind forms a whirlpool within. This acceleration of wind speed increases the performance of the rotor. Through movable joints, the angles of the photovoltaic cells can be adjusted so that different orientations can be made for the maximisation of sun exposure, and to vary the amount of wind entering the system. The wind energy system uses a Darrieus-type vertical axis wind turbine. It can operate normally even when the wind is not very strong. In addition, FLOW?s small size makes this system suitable for family use.

Autonoma, This solar public lighting pole is totally autonomous and presents the advantage to be placed in any isolated area where electricity is not available. Built with power LEDs which offer lighting performance and energy saving it also can be programmed. Smart with its detector of presence, when a pedestrian comes close, the light intensity of the pole raises to full power and decreases to a third only to spare itself, when there is nobody around.

This combination of drier and cleaner can be a great help if we can have it, thanks to Qian Jiang & Feijun Chen that came up with this concept. The form of the work derives from the towel in our daily life. It appears ordinary, but it can unintentionally take care of our health. It can be recharged by the solar energy. And when we don’t use it, we can place it in the balcony to absorb the sunshine. It is our habit to use ultraviolet as disinfector in our daily life, when drying the towel, clothes and others. We hope that users continue to form the habit through the use of Drier and Cleaner. After washing hands, if we only use the hand drier, many bacteria will still remain on our hands. However, Drier and Cleaner will solve this problem in a healthier and greener way. This product is mainly suitable in the future family.
