It is said that the world of technology is ruled by men. But that does not mean that women are not, in any way, part of such a world. See, many ladies still would like to learn more about technology. And a lot even do make use of technology. That is surely a fact. And it is good that Casio has recognized this.

And what Casio did was they put in the solar technology that they have been marketing in their G-shock watches for men. Now, this solar technology can be found in the Baby-G watches for women. This line is known as the Casio Solar Atomic Baby-G.

Oh don’t worry, ladies. These are not just your usual watches that can be too boring for your taste. They come in your usual Baby-G style that you have most certainly liked. Plus, they come in stupendous colors! Yey!

You can get one this coming spring.

Solar For Ladies

What has happened is that a company based in California has been working with plastic balloons to convert the sun’s rays into usable energy. This company is Cool Earth Solar. They have been using the plastic used in Mylar balloons as well as in the wraps of Pop Tarts.

Of course, they have not been blowing up the balloons to for solar power. They stitched all of them together and put on some aluminum. That has been the main ingredient so as to be able to bring in power.

This project is still a prototype though. But if this goes through, this will surely be something grand. It is going to be quite flexible and not just like the flat solar panels that we are used to seeing.

Plastic Balloons To Solar?

The Solar Electric Vehicle Team of the university is the group behind this newest solar race car. They say that this ride can zoom by at speeds of 90 miles per hour. They had spent $243,000 on this one and they call it Eleanor. Just like the vehicle that Nicolas Cage was so afraid of in Gone in 60 Seconds? I don’t know.

But anyhow, George Hansel, one of the members of the solar team, shares, “It drives beautifully. It’s fun to drive and quite a spectacle.” They are working on the vehicle already and testing it because it is going to be taking part at the World Solar Challenge which is a 2000-mile solar race for seven days through Australia.

MIT’s Solar Car

There are tons and tons of gadgets in the market right now and most of us are so addicted to gadgets that we do try to get the very best or the newest. However, did we all realize that the more we purchase these gadgets, the more our carbon footprint is? Yeah, well, let’s just say that each time you need to give juice to your gadget, you plug it right up the grid.

But if you had solar powered rechargeable batteries, then you are now lessening a good amount of your carbon footprint. And these solar rechargeable batteries is the brainchild of Knut Karlsen. He names his created the SunCat. And what he did was create solar rechargeable batteries by sticking in strips of a solar cell right around nickel metal hydride batteries.

Of course that Karlsen has done is still a prototype and he is still working out how to create better ones. He even admits that the first one that he did is not going to work that well. He is currently spending time on a second version.

Sun Powers Rechargeables

What Da Luz has done was go on a solar tour by driving around the country in his solar car. His car looks odd though because it is said to be like a UFO of some sort. Recently, he took a stop at Palo Alto and people have been learning more about solar power through his car and through what he has to say.

On what he is doing, Da Luz says, “I’ve got no wife, no kids — only a cat, and she probably doesn’t remember me anymore. I lost my girlfriend and my job because of this crazy passion. It’s bizarre, but this journey has become everything for me.”

I’m surely rooting for ya!

Promoting Solar

So okay. Looks like the mobile phone industry is going to be meeting more solar phones. Just like we just met Samsung’s Blue Earth. This time, let us meet with the Coral 200 Solar.

The Coral 200 Solar is a product from ZTE, a Chinese company which manufactures gadgets. The company said that this mobile phone is quite affordable. Plus, it has been designed so much so that users will no longer have to plug in their phones for a recharging. Well, if they do, it will not be on a regular basis. All the power that the mobile phone needs will come straight from the sun.

ZTE has mentioned that they will be showing off the Coral 200 Solar in Barcelona, Spain where the GSMA Mobile World Congress is going to happen. When will the solar mobile phone be available in the market? Rumors have it that it will be ready for you to purchase come June this year.

Meet Solar Phone Coral 200 Solar

Vaguhn Prost works for Missouri Solar Applications. On solar panels and solar shingles, he says, “If you had one of these arrays on your home, it would produce about half of your electricity that you’d need for your average home.” Okay. Just check out that statement and imagine how much you will be saving. I bet you are thinking of getting yourself one now. If you are, go ahead! It’s worth the investment.

Prost also continued to share, “In the coming years, I think that people will look at solar shingles on their house as something as normal as having plumbing inside their house.”

And I think he’s right.

Heard About Solar Shingles?

For Jenkins High School, the sun is now its new best friend. And all its students and faculty and staff are psyched about the newest addition to their school.

This high school just got a new solar panel which is going to be a big help for the school. It is going to help them save much on energy bills since it will be able to provide energy by converting the sun’s rays into usable power. It is also going to help the teachers teach the students about going green and alternative energy.

Mike Joyner is an executive of Georgia Power. He has been one of the main people behind the solar panel in the school and he says, “Green energy has become more relevant in the county and a lot in school systems are trying to save money. Part of what we are doing is providing solar panels in classrooms to give students hands on application, something they can learn from look at and it promotes green energy.”

High School Uses Sun’s Power

According to the mobile phone creator, their solar mobile phone is known as Blue Earth. The solar panel which absorbs the sun’s rays and converts it into usable energy can be found right on the back of the battery.

When tested, the company has been able to find out that when you charge the mobile phone using solar power for ten minutes, Blue Earth will allow you to make a three minute-call.

Now that is my kind of mobile phone. See, if you were out somewhere and you had to make an important call, you can easily give your gadget juice.

A Solar Mobile Phone

OWIKit calls it a building kit that has been designed so much so that it will be educational. The company did further disclose that this solar kit is going to help children create their own small motor that will run with the use of solar power. I could not even imagine how that will function but I’m pretty sure this solar kit is going to do just that.

With that, kids who will be playing with the solar kit can create various things with the solar motor that they will be creating. Six models are included in the kit for the kids to construct and that includes a car, an airboat, a puppy, two planes, and a windmill.
