Solar Powered Giant Calculator
Remember the giant remote control? Wouldn’t it be great to have a calculator to go with that? Ok, maybe not. But it is possible with this Giant Calculator ($19) from GreatBigStuff.com.
H20 Multi Function Alarm Clock
Ecogadget has put together a list of Water Powered Alarm Clocks.
The one that stands out from the crowd is the unique H20 Multi Function Alarm Clock ($20) - running on a replaceable water-battery.
By just adding water you are providing the clock with an endless source of energy, never needing conventional batteries again! This clock also incorporates an innovative method for changing between modes - simply rotate the clock through 90-degrees to automatically change funtion from Time, to Alarm, to Temperature (F and C), to Coundown timer. The display automatically changes orientation with clever use of Newton’s gravitational theory!

Wind-Up Keychain LED Torch
There’s no stopping the steady flow of hand-crank powered gadgets. And why would anyone want to stop that, it’s fun and good for the environment.
The product name of the Wind-Up Keychain LED Torch ($8) pretty much says what it’s all about. Unfortunately, there’s no information about how many minutes of power XX minutes of cranking will give you.
Anyway, it looks like handy little tool to bring along in the camping backpack.
Wind-Up Radio with Flashlight
When we saw the Orla Kiely radio, who would have thought it would only take another month until the next hand-crank powered radio with a built-in flashlight should show up?
The battery-free and eco-friendly Fun Radio-Nightlight ($30) comes with AM/FM radio, flashlight, and a light cap to create a soft bright nightlight.
1 minute of cranking will give you 20 minutes of radio or 40 minutes of light.
Available in three colors: Fresh Orange, Lime Green, and Pure White.

Eco-Friendly Pig LED Flashlight
The Dynamo Flashlight ($16) is a cute little light source in the shape of pig, small enough to carry with you at all times.
No need to worry about running out of batteries either - simply squeeze the lever on the side and pump for 20 seconds to receive 8 minutes worth of light.
Dynamo Flashlight is available in green, blue or pink and comes with handy wrist strap. Made of plastic and measures (in inches) 3.75 L x 1.5 H.
Wind-Up Multimedia Player
Yes, it’s time for yet another eco-friendly wind-up gadget that runs without the needs of using any batteries whatsoever (there is an USB charge option).
The Trevor Baylis Eco Media Player ($346) features an 1.8 inch LCD screen, 2 GB of internal memory and a SD Memory Card slot for external memory.
Solar Palm Radio with LED Flashlight
The environmental friendly Solar Palm Radio with LED Torch ($16) measures 6.5 x 10.5 x 1.5 cm and lets you enjoy listening to radio from both the AM and FM band. You have three different sources of power to choose from: Solar Cell, Rechargeable built-in battery and/or one AAA battery.
The LED flashlight is located at the bottom of the portable radio.
Staple Free Staplers
How about having a desktop gadget that will keep your paper stuck together, saving you both money and environment, and is also looking good/cute on your desk? That’s pretty much what these staple free staplers will do:
- Environmental Friendly Staple-less Stapler - Silver Color ($6)
- Doggie and Kitty Staple Free Staplers ($8)
These staple-free-staplers cut a small flap and a notch in the paper, then it folds the flap back into the notch which keeps the paper stuck together.
