Electronic Cars – Concepts But No Cigar
As reported here on Crunch Gear, concepts for Electronic cars are popping up all over the place. Some look like the creations of a sci-fi fiction writer. But you know what? Some seem like viable forms of transportation.
The thing that annoys me about all this jazz concerning global warming and emissions is the fact that the politicians are addressing all the right problems bar one. The most important one at that.
The image. As of now, it’s not cool for an 18 year old to hop into a tiny lithium powered car to go to college. But I think if they spent more time creating a sense of image and maybe lowered the driving age for electronic vehicles (in European countries) to sixteen and slashed insurance costs because it’s not like they’re going to be speeding any time soon, then these things would take off as cheap, viable forms of transportation. Right now, they’re hippy mobiles and uncool.
Unfortunately for mother nature, we don’t live in a dictatorship and nobody is just going to go out and buy these things to solve what is an invisible and speculative problem. What we need is for three-wheeled electronic, two-seater cars to be cool. Much like the Volkswagen Beatle and camper van were popular back in the 50s and 60s.
Power Consumpton Gone Green
The iGo Green Power Smart Tower can save up to 85% energy consumption.
Being “Green” is all the rage these days. I don’t know where this insurgence of care and concern for the environment sprung from, but it’s here in full force and all of sudden people are becoming aware of their carbon footprint on the planet. Don’t get me wrong, I do my part in many ways, but sometimes I think companies or people are expected to go to unrealistic levels just to be green.
Well the iGo Power Smart Tower is one of those instances where going green is made easy. It’s not unrealistic for tech users to have power strips filled with plugged in devices all running dangerously throughout the day. The iGo power strip is definitely innovation in it’s own right by monitoring our power consumption and also reducing consumption from devices not currently in use.
In some tests up to 85% of power is reduced simply because the strip is smart enough to identify which devices are not being used and which are. When you need to access your device, there is no lag, the iGo is quick to make sure power is there for when you need it.
Two of the plugs are stationary the rest are movable, rotating to fit all needs and sizes of plugs to ensure ease of use. Other features included with the iGo are an internal cable management system, two front mounted USB connectors, and a 6-ft power cable to ensure it can be place anywhere in a room and still reach a wall plug.
