With energy costs rising and government taking stringent action against energy defaulters, it would make sense to be conscious about our energy consumption. The Energy Detective is a unique and efficient device, which lets you know what your electricity bill is, long before you even get it, and thus allows you to tale measures to either reduce or avoid unnecessary costs.
The TED home energy monitor quantifies electricity and the results are displayed on the LCD screen. This simple and affordable device helps homes to understand their electricity consumption and in fact works like a speedometer. They have launched the TED Footprints too, which is software that allows you to graph, chart and create load profiles of the electricity consumption on the computer.

The increasing anxiety about the deteriorating condition of the environment has turned almost every person uber eco-conscious. This has lead to not just better caring of the Earth, but also to a host of new products and concepts along the line of eco-friendliness.
Frattini brings us the Elettronico Electronic Faucet intended to bring the rising problem of water shortage, and wastage, into check. The faucet comes with a touch-operated control panel that would control the amount of water used. It works like a master control panel by controlling all the faucets in the house, thus giving us the opportunity to switch off all water taps by the touch of a single button. Temperature of the water can also be preset via the control panel, for all faucets simultaneously, so that water is not wasted as you fumble with old-fashioned hot-and-cold taps.

Here is something that may interest all the robotic suits fans out there. A new robotic suit aims to help disabled people move by reading brain signals and this would have far reaching benefits for the disabled and elderly as well. The device is known as the HAL or Hybrid Assistive Limb. It is a computerized suit, which comes with sensors and it, reads brain signals and directs limb movement through the skin.
It is operated by a 22-pound battery and is worn as a belt around the waist. A Japanese company Cyberdyne, will manufacture these suits and may cost $1,500 for a monthly rental fee. What it does is, it goes ahead and captures the brain signals and relays them to mechanical leg braces strapped to the thighs and knees, which then provide robotic assistance to people as they walk. It still is not known when and how the HAL will go on sale and what it’s pricing is going to be.

Here is something to cope with the water shortage prevalent in today’s times. This time, a smart alec has gone ahead to develop a gadget that seems to provide water out of thin air, literally. The wall-mounted Watermill from Element Four produces up to 3.2 gallons of water per day and uses an ultraviolet sterilizer.
It can provide clean and healthy water for up to 6 members of a family for just 35 cents a day in power. However, we do not know how much the gadget will cost when it released. The gadget can also cool the water and make sure your water is tasty, fresh and chilled and above all, green.

So what if we can’t seem to be able to contact extra terrestrials or aliens? They very well could do so, thanks to a specially prepared slab of rock, which was launched into space by the University of Aberdeen with the help of a Russian spacecraft. This was part of an exercise conducted by the European Space Agency Mission.
The Orkney rock holds evidence to the fact of life on earth thanks to the biological deposits on it. Even though it experiences extreme temperatures while going and coming back to the earth’s atmosphere, the rock can hide chemical information which hold clues to life and biology. Called the Orkney rock, it was part of the unmanned Foton M3 mission.

Radioactive waste has been giving nightmares to a number of people and in times like these when people could smuggle radioactive material for terrorist purposes, it becomes all the more necessary for us make sure the movement of radioactive material is curbed and detected at the earliest. Radiation detection technology, which has been developed by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory, could be used to detect radioactive material present in vehicles on the highways.
Adaptable radiation Area Monitor could help detect nuclear material at vehicular entrances. ARAM can detect nuclear material as tiny as a grain of sand and even when a vehicle is moving at a speed of 45 miles per hour. Another device is the RadTrucks, which can detect radioactive signatures emitted by uranium, cesium, and plutonium. ARAM can be installed in a number of places such as a portable detector in a SUV, vehicle monitor alongside motorways, pedestrian portable monitor, luggage or package detector, and the possibilities are endless.

If you thought Annabelle on Real Player was the coolest sheep around, think again. Mower, the lawnmower in a sheep’s form bleats, sings and talks and does quite a job at clearing your green patch.
The Mower was designed by Osman Khan and the sheep is flanked by signs of “Sheep at Work, Please Do Not Disturb”. The robotic sheep is designed to work as a lawnmower and also provide the user with some cheap thrills. It is products like these that make a gadget worth writing about or even considering buying. The Mower can even prove to be educational to children who need to learn the basics of greenery, ill effects of ruining garden ecology etc.

I have a job that demands me to sit in front of the computer screen for many long hours, which not only strain my eyes, but also increase my electricity usage. In fact I must be one of the most uncool out there, to be using so much of energy without any qualms. However, here is a green PC that may not only save electricity bills but also help reduce energy usage and contribute to the greater well being of the society.
The Advent Eco is an awesome computer that runs on just 25 watts and has a fan-less cooling system, which according to me is uber-cool. The computer is mostly made of recycled materials, which makes it pretty green and environmentally friendly. However, this computer will run only basic programs such as email, surfing and word processing.

The scientists at Tel Aviv University and MIT have joined hands to build homes using trees. Unlike the traditional topiary airophonics, the idea is to the use a technique where in plants are grown without soil and then use these live plants to build homes and structures. This would allow architects and scientists to create basic structures such as park benches and bus shelters from plants.
These ecological homes come along with more of greenery to control pollution and save trees. Designed by a group called PlantWare these homes are made in an eco friendly way, and are equipped to convert massive quantities of carbon dioxide to oxygen, use solar panels and wind turbines for generating power and special composting septic tanks that convert human waste into nutrients for the tree.
