BEST COOLER FOR ENERGY SAVING DEVICES

EMILY CUMMIN'S BEST COOLER

This invention is probably the best cooler for energy saving devices because it doesn't use energy. It doesn't use electricity, solar photovoltaics, or batteries.

It was invented by a 22 year old British student who has a history of creating innovative, award winning products.

Made from household materials her cooler invention maintains a temperature that preserves perishable foods and medicine.

It is a solar cooler that consists of two tubes with one inside the other. 
It uses solar heat and evaporation to create natural biological cooling best cooler. 
The principle is similar to how perspiration cools our bodies.

The inner tube is made of metal and is the receptacle used to store perishables. 
It also keeps the contents dry.

The outer tube is made of any sturdy material such as wood, plastic, bamboo, ceramic or clay and has holes in it.

The inner tube is fitted inside the outer tube with a gap between them which is filled with sand, wool, soil or any material that will absorb water.

Solar energy (sunshine) heats the tube causing the water to evaporate from the gap material. 
This evaporation removes heat from the inner tube lowering the temperature inside to about 6ºC (42ºF).

Renewing the gap material with water keeps the cooler operating.




 When she was 16, Emily Cummins from Keighley, West Yorkshire, won the Young Engineer for Britain Award for a toothpaste container she invented to help people who suffered from arthritis.

The following year she won the Sustainable Design Award for a portable water carrier she invented to help people in developing countries transport water.

A year later, Emily's best cooler invention won the York Merchant Adventurers Award.

"I wanted to keep it really simple and so I set about researching how we cooled things years ago. 
The simplest method of cooling something could be seen when you look at how we cool biologically - through sweating or evaporation," says Emily.

Emily has traveled to Africa to distribute her invention to those communities most in need of her cooler, where she is known affectionately by residents as "the fridge lady".

LIGHT GLOWS WITHOUT ELECTRICITY

GRAVITY LIGHT

It's called a GravityLight™ and it works without needing electricity.

It doesn't use any batteries. 
It doesn't use any fuel. 
It doesn't need solar power.

This means that 2 billion people who don't have electricity can use this invention to light up their ho

Bill Gates called this $6 invention "a pretty cool innovation".


Over 2 billion people on earth don't have electricity but these simple inventions are helping.
This is the most efficient and effective way to resolve the problems of those people who do not have the electricity on the earth.
Most live in rural or remote areas that are off the electrical grid but others can't afford electricity because they're poor and live on less than $2 a day.

Inventors have been working on this problem and have created effective, inexpensive, simple inventions that don't require electricity.

Jane Chen and Rajan Patel are co-inventors of the award winning incubator pouch for premature babies.

Jessica Lin, along with co-inventors, Hemali Thakker, Julia Silverman and Jessica Matthews invented the sOccket, an award winning innovation that uses a soccer ball to harness and store electrical energy when kicked.

Multiple award winning inventor Emily Cummins created an inexpensive, simple, natural biological cooler that refrigerates perishable foods and medicine.

image of gravity light inventionThe latest simple invention to address this electricity problem comes from co-inventors Jim Reeves and Martin Riddiford.

They spent four years developing their award winning GravityLight™, which is a light that requires no electricity, no batteries or solar dependency to operate. 
Instead it uses the force of gravity to create light.

A weight is connected to the end of a rope that loops through the light casing. The light is hung from any structure or tree.
 You pull on the rope to lift the weight to the casing.

When you let go of the rope the weight gradually falls and pulls the rope through gears that turn a small generator to power LEDS on the light.

The light shines for about 25 minutes and it only takes 3 seconds to pull the rope to restart the cycle again.

To demonstrate the feasibility of their invention they decided to raise funds for field testing. 
They launched a crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo to raise $55,000 but received close to $400,000.

photo of Bill Gates Jim acknowledges that the success and support for the campaign was helped by an unexpected endorsement from Bill Gates who tweeted, "GravityLight is a pretty cool innovation which could be a source of cheap light in developing markets."

TALKING WITH APPLIANCES

THE ENERGYHUB DASHBOARD

One of the cool new gadgets to hit the market is a touchscreen device that allows you to communicate with anything consuming energy in your home.

Inventor Seth Frader-Thompson's new invention has been named one of the "best new gadgets" and "breakthrough ideas of the year" by Time Magazine.

The EnergyHub Dashboard is a device that allows you to wirelessly communicate with all your appliances.

The touch screen device receives wireless information from "plug-ins" in your electrical sockets and provides details of usage for every energy consuming product in the home - everything from your furnace and air conditioner to a specific light bulb, cell phone or alarm clock.

It even tracks leak current (the power used by devices that are plugged-in but not being used).

Although many of us are motivated to reduce our carbon footprint and power consumption by changing our lights or upgrading to Energy Star appliances.
This doesn't tell us exactly what's happening with consumption.

Our utility bills give us total power usage but nothing about what would happen if our thermostat was reduced by a few degrees or if a specific appliance was replaced, shut-off or used on a certain schedule.

The EnergHub provides this type of information and allows you to control and schedule the energy usage of anything in the home.

GESTURE RECOGNITION BRACELET

MYO - ARMBAND

This gesture recognition bracelet is one of the cool new gadgets that lets you control devices by moving your hands.

Invented by Stephen Lake, Matthew Bailey and Aaron Grant. 
The MYO armband (derived from the prefix "myo" meaning related to muscle) can identify hand gestures by interpreting biometric signals in your arm.

When making a particular hand motion such as pointing, the armband can identify the gesture, It allows the pointing motion to be associated with a specific command for a digital device.

You can use hand signals to interact with televisions, computers, phones or any smart technology system. 
The importance of this technology is that it enables you to interact more naturally with devices by reducing the need for input peripherals like mice, keyboards or touchscreens.

MYO armband The problem with current gesture recognition technology like Wii by Nintendo or Kinect by Microsoft, is that it requires you to be in a specific location.

This is because motion sensors and cameras require positioning coordinates to accurately intrepret your motions using complex algorithms.

gesture recognition The MYO technology does not require positioning coordinates and therefore allows greater freedom of movement.

Gestures are identified by muscular and electrical activity in the forearm. 
This detection occurs without any electrodes touching the skin, and the recognition is instantaneous.

MYO currently recognizes about 20 gestures. For example, it recognizes the swiping motions we use to scroll a page on a touchscreen.

MYO is designed as a one-size-fits-all device. 
It uses Bluetooth 4.0, features on-board, rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and works out-of-the-box with your Mac or Windows PC.

The launch of approximately 25,000 units is expected later this year.

WATER POWERED CLOCK

WATER CLOCK

You fill it with water and it operates as any normal LCD digital clock - displaying the date and time in easy to read digits. 
The water powered clock doesn't require any batteries.

In fact, you can fill it with any pop or fruit juice, even coffee or beer and it will still work. 
A clear casing allows you to see your beverage of choice inside the clock.

Here is how it works---

The secret is that the water clock is a battery.

Inside is an electrolyte cell with two metal posts.

An electrolyte battery or cell (see: organic battery also: baghdad battery) needs two dissimilar metals - one copper and one zinc - and a connection between them to complete a circuit.

When the posts are immersed in a liquid that conducts electricity (water) then electrons flow from one post to the other creating a current.

The electric current powers the clock. If you add fruit juice, or soda pop, it makes the liquid more conductive.

WORLD'S FASTEST MOTOR

CELEROTON

A new motor developed by researchers at ETH Zurich's Department of Power Electronics and marketed by the Swiss company, Celeroton, can spin in excess of 1 million revolutions per minute.

As a comparison, collapsed stars spin at 60,000 rpms, a blender at about 30,000 and high performance engines at around 10,000 rpms.

The matchbook-sized motor has a titatnium shell, ultra-thin wiring and a trade secret iron formulated cylinder. 
The need for smaller electronic devices requires smaller holes, which means smaller, faster, more efficient drills.
