Seven ingenious water powered gadgets for the ideal eco-friendly home

As non-renewable energy resources across the globe continue to deplete at an alarming rate, technology and researchers are left with no option other than looking for greener, cleaner, and eco-friendly methods to generate electricity. The good news is that recent research and development has proven that water can be used effectively to generate electricity, with water power technology slowly setting its foot into the world of electronic gadgets. What follows is a list of seven ingenious water powered gadgets to help you go green at home!

Liquid charging batteries

Ever heard of a battery that works on liquid? Well, here it is! The NoPoPo liquid charging batteries are the coolest and meanest batteries you will ever come across! As crazy as it may sound, NoPoPo (No Problem Power batteries) can get charged with the help of any electrolyte fluid. Be it lemon juice, salt water, or even a rather bizarre and innovative combination of water and urine, any of these can get your NoPoPo batteries charged! Basically the electrolyte fluids catalyze the magnesium-aluminum reaction that is required to generate the necessary power.

Eco-friendly clock

The coolest and greenest clock ever, has got to be the eco-friendly water powered clock! There are a number of companies out there such as Bedol and H2O that make these incredible clocks. Available in a number of shapes such as cans, bottles, sci-fi gizmos, as well as in a host of spunky bright colors, these clocks will leave you spellbound. These clocks run on water, or even a dash of lemon juice can keep them running for 8-12 weeks without a refill. Most of these clocks come in transparent colors, which make them look all the more cooler. Furthermore, the water powered clock is also equipped with an in-built memory chip that remembers the time, just in case the water runs out and the clock goes dead.

Water powered calculator

Even the most boring and nerdiest of geeks that you know won't be able to avoid this marvelous piece of innovation. Yes, innovation that is being talked about is a water powered calculator! We've all heard of solar powered calculators but calculators that run on liquid is something truly extraordinary. Available in an array of different shapes and transparent colors, these awesome calculators need electrolyte fluid like lemon water, salt water, or any common energy drink to get the job done. This is definitely a great step towards going green by reducing environment pollution caused by lithium batteries and other harmful chemicals. And for all you know, this whacky innovation might also help revive the calculator and stop it from going extinct!

TubeBot Pipe Robot

If you're looking for nifty ways to go green, TubeBot Pipe Robot is one hell of a robot that you definitely need to know about. This ingenious innovation is essentially a robot that monitors leakages in water pipes. A major cause of depleting energy and water sources is dues to water leakages that go unnoticed in millions of homes worldwide. The TubeBot pipe is capable of efficiently detecting leakages and can also repair urban drinking water systems. It operates or generates electricity by using the existing water pressure, which enables it to keep moving.

Water powered lantern and flashlight

Yet another brilliant product from NoPoPo, this device is basically a two-in-one device that not only works as a handy flashlight, but also doubles up as a lamp by just sliding the cover up and down in order to change the mode. The device is fully eco-friendly and runs on water, and the battery can be recharged anywhere anytime effortlessly. Whether you're a regular camper, or even if you are looking for eco-friendly gadgets for your home, this incredible two-in-one flash light and lamp is a great way to throw away those harmful lithium batteries and switch over to water power!

Mini hydro turbine

How about using water to power your cell phones, hair dryer, and other portable electronic gadgets? Well, this is exactly what the mini hydro turbine will help you do! This is a fantastic concept that relies on hydraulic pressure in order to generate electricity. Right from your cell phone, to your hair dryer, to your electric shaver, the electricity generated by this turbine is enough to charge your portable electronic devices.

HydroPak – a water-activated generator

Developed from Horizon's Fuel Cell technology and Millennium cell's hydrogen generating technology, the HydroPak is an outstanding water powered charging device which can easily charge your laptop, and other electronic gadgets. The device uses low cost, high capacity energy storage cartridges that provide long shelf life when stored and do not self-discharge. Overall, a great low cost alternative to harmful batteries!
