It would be made of entirely recycled materials, and be recyclable itself, would have photovoltaic cells atop the wings for energy for eco-friendly propulsion and have an aerodynamically-efficient body. The body too would be made from a flax-based bio-compound that Read more… »

In order to save a negligible amount of power from your monthly electric usage, Buffalo has come up with a perfect solution – the solar-powered Japan-based Buffalo Wireless Keyboard, named BSKBW01SB.
Placed on the upper right portion of the keyboard, an adjustable solar panel captures to capture sunrays for charging. It is said that even a cubical rays will keep the keyboard charge. Read more… »
