WHAT IF A GADGET COULD suck all the carbon dioxide (CO2) from the atmosphere to address the climate crisis? What if our gadgets could stay on for six months without the fear of getting batteries discharged? Well, a solar-powered world seems to have such a potential.
For instance, Australia-based AspiraDAC is building a modular, solar-powered direct air capture system to accelerate the development of carbon removal technologies.
The rising population, global warming and depletion of the ozone layer could give us a reason to shift to solar powered devices, and the advent of solar-powered gadgets in a tech loaded-world can help adopt a greener approach to life. Simply because solar powered gadgets are energy efficient and convenient to use like any other gadget. Let's take a look at some of them: The Tissot T-Touch Connect Solaris the original Swiss connected watch powered by the sun's energy. It has real-time live score updates from the NBA and the world's leading cycling events, 'bring me back' navigation technology is of interest to hikers, mountaineers, trail cyclists, and upgraded, cross-platform activity trackers. The watch is expected to have a software app launch soon in India.
Skagen's Sol watch is a recycled stainless steel and powered by clean solar energy. Sol is available for both men and women with sustainability as the key focus.
