World Environment eco-savvy with these gadgets
Environment-friendly PC
The Acer Aspire L310 desktop PC has a box capacity of three litres as opposed to the usual 10-litre desktop box CPU. It sports a sleek and portable form factor. Smarter component placement leads to better thermal management, resulting in efficient fan speed control for quiet operation (only 26 dB idle). In addition, it boasts a 3.5" SATA 3 Gb/s hard disk drive with up to 400 GB of storage space for speedy data access.
Sun-powered wristwatch
This Casio tough stainless steel men's watch (MTP1227E-5AV) is solar-powered, charging in either sunlight or indoor light. The stainless steel watchcase is topped by a raised bezel with elapsed time markings. The brown dial face is complemented by silver triangular markers, thin silver hands and a digital day/date function. (Approx $89.99)
EMW Reader
Long-term exposure to high-powered electromagnetic fields may be hazardous to your health. The Ban-Yu 026 EMW Reader is specifically designed to read the magnitude of electromagnetic field radiation generated by power lines, computer monitors, TV sets, video cassette recorders and home appliances.
Pollution monitor
SQUIRREL, a mobile device being developed at the University of California and the California Institute for Telecommunications and Information Technology, can sample pollutants with its on-chip sensor. It measures carbon monoxide and ozone, but eventually it will be able to sample nitrogen oxide and sulphur dioxide in the air, as well as temperature, barometric pressure and humidity. Using a Bluetooth wireless transmitter, it connects to the user's cell phone. A software programme called Acorn allows the user to see the current pollution alerts through a screensaver on the cell phone's display.
Solar phone
Japanese cell phone maker NTT DoCoMo is prototyping this hybrid mobile phone with solar panels. As this device is powered by the sun's rays, you can put an end to travel chargers and emergency batteries.
