The Bedol Water-Powered Clock is an inexpensive way to go green. The clock runs on salty water, which corrodes the clocks electrodes causing them to generate electricity. This green gadget comes in a variety of shapes and colors to fit your homes décor.

Phillips has made an Eco friendly television, which features a dimming back light. Sensors built into the TV adjust the televisions back light as they sense the room is dimming. The Eco TV consumes less power than its LCD counter parts.

Re-chargeable batteries save landfills, but they still have to use a charger. A new kind of re-chargeable AA battery is the Mint Battery. It has an internal coil and magnet, which creates an electrical current when a person shakes the battery.

A new solar charger is the Solio Universal Hybrid Charger. This little charger is compatible for over 3,200 devices. It gets it power from the sun, but it comes with a USB cable to plug into your PC.

Robotics are becoming useful and energy saving. The Solar Breeze is a pool skimmer that runs on solar power. It catches the debris in the pool water before it has a chance to sink. The Robomower is another robotic gadget that uses no fuel, so there are no emissions. The re-chargeable mower runs on a guide wire system that mows the boundaries of your yard.
