The No More No Less Faucet

Posted: 25 Sep 2010 09:21 AM PDT

Here is another handy concept that should help you conserve water or at least try to find out how much you are using (or wasting). Designer Jasper Hous designed the No More No Less faucet basically for cooking but you will agree that this can be used even for washing or maybe even bathing.

A simple countdown which shows users much water comes out of the tap on full blast times will show how much water they are using on a measured basis. It features an LCD screen for control (which is powered by water), temperature, and a 30 second on time.

The 30 second meter turns the faucet off 30 seconds after the last use to make sure there's no flooding and to assure low energy expenditure.

Regen Reverb Speaker Docks for iPods

Posted: 24 Sep 2010 10:19 PM PDT

iPod docks are not spared from energy consuming issues but the Regen Reverb Speaker docks should be something more sensible. They draw power from solar energy which are in turn used to juice up the lithium-ion batteries that power the dock.

The Regen Reverb docking station can be used up to 12 hours and comes with a 3.5mm input jack, two 25-watt digital amplifiers, dual two-inch mid-range/treble drivers, a 50-watt digital amp and a single six-inch woofer.

It stands 34.5" in height and costs a cool $2,299 if you want to get it.
