Solar Luggage in the market

samsonite_solar

Solar panels are integrated into everything from telephone booths braziers, why not in the luggage?
Find sources of energy for electronic devices is a problem that affects everyone, regardless of shade of green. Although the bags and backpacks with solar cells to recharge capabilities have been released in the past (some experts says that the power can steady charge Inspiron 6400 battery),  companies are relatively unknown and have led to price tickets reduced to little more than an illusion for many travelers. This summer, however, leading the industry Samsonite suitcase, has announced that it is a new line of handbags appears in the News March Techies green.

To create bags, Samsonite is in Ascent Solar, a company that Colorado has the reputation of working light and flexible thin film photovoltaic technology. In the future the Solar laptop bag can charge your laptop battery.

The lightweight CIGS (copper indium gallium diselenide) modules used in products Samsonite produce enough power for small mobile devices like mobile phones, GPS navigation, media player free to Ascent Solar.

The bag would be a 15.6-inch laptop, but not yet able to recharge the Inspiron 1545 battery.

And the bag of green resource, not only with its capacity of solar energy. NewLaunches.com reported that the body bag made from recycled polyethylene terephthalate (RPET) plastic, which has the power to two thirds less exercised. Other studies show that the production of recycled plastic, two-thirds less sulfur dioxide, nitrogen 50% less oxides necessary, and use of almost 90% less water than virgin plastic. Hope that the bag can reduce us taking the external Latitude D620 battery when travelling.

And the best news? This bag may sell brilliant idea for under $ 100 when it hits the market later this year.

Nintendo DS here in Extra Large

In the pipeline in the country of Rising Sun and expected 2010 in EuropeThe Nintendo DSi LL (In the West will be renamed DSi XL) will become the older brother of the Nintendo DS , boasting the world an extraordinary success in HP Pavilion DV6000 battery, thanks to the likes of testimonial Nicole Kidman grappling with the Brain Training in a spot known pubbilicitario .

nintendo_dsi-363-x-300But what differentiates the XL version of the console ? In terms of capacity there will be news , since the hardware is identical to the original DS . In reality, the changes will be purely logistical to expand the park users, by developing the confidence to those who have always found a way too small and therefore not convenient to use PA3534U-1BRS battery: in the LL version instead you will find two large screens around 4.2 inches against 3,2 native of the DS . Will be maintained in the same resolution , 256×192, So the increased visibility will not create hardships for people with sight problems .

The other change concerns the inclusion of a second pen for touch screen : the classic one side there will be bigger like a ballpoint pen. Naturally this leads to an increase of approximately 100 gramsBut absolutely insufficient to compromise the usability of the product Lenovo/IBM ThinkPad X41 battery. In short, the DSi LL seems to be always the same console but only bigger, designed for people who , besides playing, also wants to surf the web and listen to music in comfort.

In Japan, the price will be around 20,000 yenAbout 150 euros and $ 220. The three versions will be marketed , the Dark BrownThe Red Wine and Natural White, equipped with two versions of Brain Training and a dictionary.

Christian Estrosi lifts the veil on a thermodynamic solar plant at Llo in the Pyrenees-Orientales

On the occasion of the inauguration of the prototype solar thermodynamic CNIM in La Seyne-sur-Mer, Minister for Industry, Christian Estrosi, played on the fiber nostalgic is souvenbant 80s, “when a solar power station was built on the site Themis Targassonne in the Pyrenees-Orientales. At that time, I recall, we were ahead of all others …. We can again be at the forefront of innovation in the field of solar energy as we exemplified this new equipment, the only prototype solar thermal power plant operator to the process of Fresnel mirrors operating in France. This equipment will be the reference that we need, showcase our expertise in solar energy. It is now a jewel of our industrial and environmental excellence, which will be more decisive for the export of this technology throughout the world, “said Minister Cannon.

He continued: “The company has been able to take CNIM the turn of renewable energy, a powerful vehicle for growth and employment in the years to come. I also want to salute his strong commitment to innovation, participation in competitive clusters and CAPENERGIES DERBI, as well as its commitment and success in export markets. ” The Minister also recalled the spirit of future investments that include a component demonstrators renewable energy and green chemistry “with 1,350 billion euros, of which one third and two thirds of grants repayable advances.

“These funds will finance research demonstrators in the continuity of the fund demonstrator ADEME, platforms testing or collective testing centers, and support for experimentation park equipment before their industrialization . It is in this context that the draft CNIM to achieve an industrial demonstrator of 70,000 square meters in Llo, near the historic site of the solar cooker Topics Odeillo CNIM which has designed and manufactured the boiler . The prototype presented to us we will validate a number of technical choices. But through this opening today, I want to say that our political will to promote renewable energy is not subject to adjustment! “He was firmly told.

The minister will split a mea culpa for renewable energy development in France: “Unlike the very strong ambitions have always been ours on nuclear, it must be acknowledged that France has long been slow to adopt a real vision on renewable energy. We lacked a comprehensive vision. We thought we could save ourselves a vision of long-term future. The choices we make today should have been made twenty years ago in the wind, ten years ago in the PV field. Meanwhile, our competitors have taken us before heading into new markets that are now carrying. We are paying the price. Today, France is obliged to equip themselves with these technologies to maintain its own consumption with mostly imported materials.

This July 26, Christian Estrosi had decided to tell the truth: “The truth is that we have failed to take full advantage of the movement that was beginning then. The truth is that if we created jobs, they were only in service jobs, while these are real manufacturing jobs our country needs! The International Energy Agency estimates that in 2050, 11% of global electricity production will come from solar thermal. Morocco, a country bordering the Mediterranean in France, decided to invest up to 2 Giga Watts of solar energy with a first tranche of 500 Mega Watts which will be built by 2015. Much of the Mediterranean Solar Plan will be conducted in solar thermal. The market for solar thermal concentration is emerging in countries with large sunny Southern Europe, Middle East, North Africa, the United States or the deserts of India and China. ”

“How could we suggest that France would be in a worse position than other countries to meet these needs, so it has its own soil similar resources and above all a very strong capacity to innovate? How could it be that our French companies take away from this tremendous source of growth and employment? There is no time to procrastinate. Today is that French industry must be ready as the U.S., as the Germans, like Spain and Israel. I wish that we take advantage of the last great research potential, skills and knowledge that is in our country, “he concluded. The prototype CNIM has apparently it inspired the Minister Christian Estrosi now totally committed to the cause of solar. Speech facade or philosophy of funds, time will tell!
