Green Cycler

We all know this is a situation of global crisis for food as most of the asian and african countries are consuming lions share of the food produced.At this stage of inflation and price hiking there is a high need of avoid the food wastage.The food wastage i9s one of the most unacceptable move in this situation.


Here I would like to introduce an interesting gadget called GREEN CYCLER.It is a gadget used to recycle the wasted or abandonrd food.It can helps to create fertilizers from the waste food to help the growth of some other vegetable plants.Yes it is a concept of recycling food to produce more food.there won't be any odour .Don't worry about that,because air and the soil will absorb it.

Amazing isn't it?Why can't we do our part in reducing food crisis which is becoming a global issue which needs solution. If each one of us think in this way there won't be any food shortage problem to sort out.This is a device or product which uses the concept of food recycling mechanism.All the recycling methods used are of green importance to us.It can actually make the concept of reuse.

Dell Vostro comes with the greenest monitor



We are all in the campaign of getting back the greenery of our earth.Greenery now has a broader meaning not only indicating the forest.Yes it means the new trend of living without destroying our mother earth.So all of us must play our part in that.Here Dell once again showing their respect for the green technology
with its introduction of new desktop Vostro 410 with its greenest monitor.

Green Gadgets Expo

Here are some of the best and cool green gadgets and products.....

1.Revolving Door - a power generator


Its a cool idea evolved out from the Fluxxlab Designers to generate power from ordinary revolving doors used in the offices.The idea is to convert the kinetic energy of the turning door int electric energy by means of gears and turbines. The energy used by the people in turning the revolving door is almost wasted.This energy is trapped to generate electricity.

2.Solar Bluetooth speaker Phone

Few more Green Products

There exists always a balance between nature and its creations.Whenever some of its creatures due to its actions tries to hamper its harmony, nature itself will rectify it in the natural way.But Human Beings one of the most wonderful of its creation, progressed to control even the nature in his hands all the harmony and balance seems to lose.We need not make that happen even more . Lets make our each action so that it does not harm our environment.


Here I am introducing some more green products which does not harm our nature in its creation , use or in its destruction.

1.Glass straws Its a change in the usage of glass straws instead of using plastic ones.Glass straws don't leach toxins into your mouth or beverage as you drink .These glass are made of borosilicate wall tubing.It is unbreakable guarenteed due to its annealed type of construction.It can be used for hot as well as cold drinks.It is safe to use in microwave owens and dishwasher safe.

2.Holiday Lights-LED

Algae-the new green fuel

Can't you believe that?Yes its true the next generation fuel which could hopefully change the dependency of the non renewable fossil fuels as source of energy would be algae. Algaes are actually green aquatic organisms that through the process of the photosynthesis can entrap our solar energy to produce vegetable oil which can be decomposed into the bio diesel.This bio diesel can be just used like other petroleum oils in the combustion engine. Algaes main advantage is that it doesn't need any fertile soil to flourish.It can be grown in any ponds or tanks or in any deserts.It just need only sunlight,water and carbon dioxide to multiply like weeds. Also because of its high surface area it can absorb nutrients more quickly than any oil producing crops and require much less space than them.


Process of extraction
  • As soon as the algae colony becomes mature nullify the nitrogen supply.
  • The organisms react to the nitrogen deficiency by producing extra fats in the cells.
  • When enough fats are made the cells are collected and broke them apart.
  • With the help of suitable solvents extract the fats out from the water soluble proteins and sugar.
  • Purify the collected fats, and evaporate the solvent .
  • Now a process called transesterification is carried out to transform the bio diesel out of the fats collected from the cells.

Geo engineering-new green technology


Geo Engineering -What does it mean? what isits motive? So many questions may arise when you hear a word or term like that.The answer is simple I tell you.It is a drastic counter measure to reduce or nullify the ill effects on our planet due to various human activities like global warming,Polar ice melting etc..This branch of science tries to deal with the problem of global issues like this with a solution which can create an opposite effect on the environment to get it back to its green nature using the natural phenomenons to counter act it. This concept was actually rejected by many scientists as a 'fringe science' when it was introduced back in 1960s.But now its application or use is more clear and transparent that one can't easily avoid it.


One of the examples they trying to do is to create an artificial volcano to counter act the devastating effect of global warming due to the accumulation of green house gases like carbon dioxide, methane etc...
This volcanic erruptions can release to the atmo
sphere tons of sulphur dioxide into the stratosphere which can cause a temporary cooling effect on the planet. The sulphur dioxide would react to form a cloud of sulfuric acid droplets that would in turn reflect sunlight and helps in cooling.how these materials aredelivered to the stratosphere is not actually designed.It can be achieved by using ballons or cannons or high altitude flying planes.But these project would cost a lot of financial holdings.It can cost like about $1 billion to $50 billion a year.Also there is a problem dealing with these valcanic erruptions that it hinder the repair of ozone hole.Isn't it worth doing or just a waste of money is a hot topic in the discussions of many scientists.But really no cost would be so high if it can make a change in the global scenario that can reduce a devastating effect like global warming.

Household green products


What if we are using every thing in our houses can be made green.It would be a very good step towards the global goal of clean green environment.It can include everything like chairs tables household utensils electronic gadgets etc....



'Think chair' is a best example for this.This chair has up to 37% recycled content and is 99% recyclable. It weighs 32 pounds only which saves energy in shipping and the energy used in manufacturing this chair is very much less than as similar chairs in the market.


If there is a green chair why can't we have a green desk.Yes it is there in the market.These desks are all designed with the green concept in mind, whether they employ responsibly-harvested wood, use non-toxic substances that won't dirty your workarea , with great design ideas that just use less stuff, or all of the above.


USB flash driv
es are very common these days.But green USBs are not so common.The electronic junk or waste is exceeding at a very high rate which need to be of a area of concern.'Earth Drives' are a substitute. ATP has come up with this fully recyclable USB flash drive, that is made from bio-recycled materials and is completely shockproof, waterproof and dustproof.




When we are talking about green products we must think about all possible ways of saving energy.From the very small household utensils to elaborate projects using renewable and clean sources.So what about a cooker?Its an easy one.One can simply own a solar cooker or can just make it.

A few green products....

The elctric car 'Roadster' from Tesla motors is the new trend in the green technology. The greatest advantage of these car is that it need not depend on the non-renewable fuels which are at great stake now.Its look is also amazing that no one hesitates to buy a green car.



The Wind-Up-Phone Charger is another amazing cool green gadget that you can use to charge your phone with just elbow grease.




Water Powered Alarm Clock is another wonderful green gadget that uses a gravity sensor that lets you switch from function to function just by changing the clock's position.





The Solar Roll is a 58-inch long roll-up solar panel that can be used to power anything from satellite phones to video cameras to GPS devices.It is very useful device that can be used to charge any mobile devices just with our green source, our Sun .










Concept of Green Latop



What do you think when you look for laptop which is green.What all things one must consider.Though green laptop products are not very popular, these things to be considered more seriously these days.Here are some important concepts to be considered.
  • Future laptops could knock 10 percent off their energy use just by replacing hard drives with solid-state, or flash, memory, which consume less power.
  • We can avoid toxic wastes like the lead in solder, for example, is now being replaced by silver and copper.
  • Use of new bioplastics-plant based polymers consume less oil and energy to produce than traditional plastics.
  • Displays made of or organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs), form images with electroluminescent films can be used instead of power consuming LEDs.
