Solar energy is one of the renewable energies that is growing. Man has developed inventions that do not require electrical energy and that contribute to the preservation of the environment. Here are 5 inventions that work with solar energy:
1. Solar shower: Sunshower is created by the New Zealand company s.p.u.d. and it is characterized by having a solar panel on the side of the tap that collects the light, transforms it into energy and in this way the water is heated. This modern design, made of aluminum, has ecological benefits and measures 2.5 meters wide by 2 meters high.
2. Portable solar cooker: The GoSun cooker is a solar gadget that reaches a temperature of up to 370 ° C and allows cooking in 20 minutes any food for 6 people thanks to some reflectors that capture sunlight. This development works without the need for an outside temperature of 15ºC. GoSun cooks on cloudy days and also in the snow.
3. Solar plug: The designers Kyuho Song & Boa Oh are the creators of this invention that includes a small solar panel with photovoltaic cells on one of its sides. On the opposite side, it adheres to the window to accumulate energy; which is transformed by the same device and can be used at night.
4. Solar laptop: SOL is a laptop with Ubuntu operating system, which is powered by solar energy. Thanks to the deployable solar panels that it incorporates, it can recharge in two hours enough to work for ten hours in a row, and has Wi-Fi connectivity, Intel hardware, "HD" screen, and an optional module for satellite connectivity.
5. Solar backpack: This development has solar panels on the outside to receive and store sunlight. The device generates 4 watts enough to charge the cell phone, camera, ipod or any other mobile device.
