Solar Energy is finding cool new ways to find space in our life and satisfy our energy needs in a simple, yet very effective fashion. Solar-powered gadgets are taking unique shapes and forms and few are more beautiful than the Lawn PC designed by David Veldkamp. The Lawn PC is a simple extension of existing solar technology with an attractive and efficient design allowing it to fit in perfectly in any modern home. The Lawn Pc powers up your computer by using an artificial lawn that can be placed adjacent to your system. The lawn looks so cool that one might confuse it for real lawn grass from a distance.
The Lawn PC has solar cells embedded in it that convert sunlight into energy and they do it despite being covered with a green fabric that gives them the look of natural grass. Lawn PC can produce energy of 876 KWh each year and that is sufficient to keep your system away from the socket forever. The best part is that you can always upgrade your PC and still use the Lawn PC set up to derive emission-free power.
Apart from reducing carbon footprint and also adding to the feel of your living room, the Lawn PC can be used to charge up many other small electronic gadgets such as your iPod, iPhone, mobiles, display screens as well. That truly is a green solution to the problem of power-guzzling modern gadgets!
