The Solio Charger

Solio Chargers are small solar battery chargers. They have their own internal batteries, which can store solar energy collected from the sun.

A Solio charger is different than a simple solar panel. This is because it has an internal battery which can store the energy collected through solar cells. This energy can then be used later, to recharge small electrical devices such as cell phones, MP3 Players, PDAs etc.

The Solio Charger acts as a solar rechargeable battery, which can then be used to recharge other devices.

The advantage of this is that you can have the solar battery charge during the day, and then use the built-up energy to recharge a small electrical device at night or on a rainy day.

In other words, you are not stuck to outdoor sunny daytime hours for the use of your solar charger.

The Solio Charger features a fan-blade design, which helps it to receive maximum coverage from the sun, yet remain small and compact, for easy storage and transportation.When you wish to charge your Solio, simply spread out the 3 solar panels and expose them to sunlight (either outside, or at a window). The Internal battery will recharge within 8 to 10 hours.

Once fully charged, the Solio will charge your electrical device at the same rate as if your device was plugged into a regular charger in a wall socket. It will charge the average cell phone at least twice, before it needs to be recharged again in the sun.

An additional feature of the Solio Charger is that you can also charge it with a regular electrical wall socket. When charging in this way, it takes the Solio 4 hours to be fully charged and ready for the road. Once the Solio is fully charged, it will keep its charge for about a year without the need for recharging (if unused).

The Solio can also be used to charge an electrical device directly from the sun. When it is used this way, 60 minutes of sunlight will provide about 25 minutes of talk time and 10 hours of standby on the average cell phone. Charging an iPod directly from the sun for 60 minutes will provide roughly 60 minutes of playtime.

The following article is from a series of alternative energy-related articles, tips and information on the benefits of solar power …

As solar technology advances, the more compact a solar power system is becoming, which is increasingly attractive to homeowners who want to reduce their utility bills. In addition to being cost effective, choosing to install solar panels into your home is very friendly to the environment. In this article, we’ll explain how solar power works and how you can use it to your benefit.

Photovoltaic means electricity from light. This solar power system uses daylight to power common electrical equipment like household appliances, computers and lights. Having your own solar photovoltaic (PV) system means that you can generate your own electricity from the free and inexhaustible power of the sun. A photovoltaic system never needs refueling, emits no pollution and has a normal life expectancy of twenty to twenty-five years with little maintenance needed. A typical PV system on a home roof can prevent over 34 tonnes of greenhouse gas emissions during its lifetime.

The electrical output of a PV cell depends on the intensity of the light to which it is exposed. Thus, PV cells usually generate more electricity on bright days than when skies are grey. This does not mean that your solar system will not work when skies are grey. Over the last few years, PV technology has also started to be introduced into urban areas, incorporated into the roofs and facades of homes, offices and factories.

There are a few ways to determine what size a solar power system for your home or business should be. You can install as many solar energy modules as will fit on your roof. This will increase the solar power generating capacity to completely eliminate your electricity bill. Initially, installing more solar energy panels increases the overall value of the system. However, installing more modules beyond a certain limit ceases to be cost effective. It is necessary to do a careful solar site survey using a Solar Pathfinder to work out the net energy output of partially shaded modules and then decide if it is economically beneficial to install modules in those locations.

Investing in a solar power system for your home or business is a wise decision, both economically and environmentally. A properly designed and installed solar system can pay for itself in as little as 5 to 10 years — and even faster if you take advantage of manufacturer and government rebates. Solar electricity can raise the value of the home and create a brighter outlook for the future of our planet.

Renewable energy is the past Cinderalla now invited to the ball, and the rapid expansion in renewable energy will be, and needs to be, massive in order to help alleviate the worst effects of global climate change.

Solar panels use the renewable energy of the sun.

There is even renewable energy in the organic waste (biological waste), such as food scraps, wood from sustainable forests, and paper/cardboard manufactured from trees grown in sustainable woodland, and sustainable materials in the rubbish we throw away at present. This energy could, and should, be re-used to provide energy, and recycling and in many nations separate collection of municipal (household) waste is being developed all the time to enable this to take place.

Looking at the investment potential for renewable energy from both the electricity, and road transport sectors, and adding the value of both from a recent report by Shell (UK), suggests that at a total of ?1300M (USD$2600M), investment is likely in the next 10 years in the transport biofuels and renewable electricity generation sectors in the UK, alone.

So it seems that a Renewable Energy News blog, will be in demand and there must be a need to report the great opportunities to be made for those that are “nimble” as being likely to arise in the renewable energy sector, in the next few years.

My cell phone is my primary phone. On it, I receive both personal and business calls so it is a vital piece of technology in my life. My family lives all over the country so it helps me feel connected to them. The cell phone also is my business phone. Clients know that I always answer my cell phone when possible and promptly return my calls. So when I saw the voicemail feature on the new iphone, I was hooked.

This feature allows you to choose which voicemail you would like to hear. The amount of time this could save you would be worth the cost of the phone. Now I do not have to sit through the long first voicemail, to get to the next one. I can see who called and left a message and check that voicemail. Today I don’t need to hear all of my sisters five minute voicemail on the red dress she bought, just to get to my clients message about a order they need to place. Or it works the other way, I don’t need to listen to three clients voicemails just to get to my sisters call about her important medical test results.. As I said before this feature alone makes me want to get this phone.

Autism is a rare disorder that is often, but not always, associated with autism. It is characterized by developmental handicaps accompanied by certain extraordinary mental capabilities. There is much that is not known about Autism, but studies of savants such as K. Peek have led to an increased understanding of the syndrome.

Kim has a photographic memory, among other outstanding mental abilities. He is not autistic, but has brain abnormalities that apparently caused his case of Autism. script writer Barry Marrow met Kim and wrote the Film Rain Man based on him and his condition.

The fame gained from the Film helped Kim overcome his lack of social skills, and he has since been traveling the world with his father to promote acceptance of people who are differently abled.

Kim Peek and his fascinating life have been an inspiration to many people with and without Autism. He is living proof of what the human mind is capable of.
