Imagine never having to mow your lawn again. Well thanks to the Swedish gardening brand Husqvarna this dream can become a reality with this Solar Hybrid mower. Husqvarna has been making robotic lawn mowers since 1995. The new Husqvarna Automower Solar Hybrid combines electricity and solar power to take lawn mowing to the next level while being safe for the environment.

This high performance mower is environment friendly and will cut your grass all by itself. The Automower uses the same amount of energy as a standard light bulb and is constructed from 90% recyclable materials. It also eliminates the need for fertilizers, its almost silent, and has absolutely no exhaust at all. The Automower is outfitted with solar panels and does not require oil or gas to operate.

It works by cutting the grass into small blades and it finely cuts leaves which act as a fertilizer for the lawn. The mower follows an easily laid cable which sets the boundary for the cutting area. The cable is similar to those cables used to protect flowerbeds. Once the Automower is finished cutting the law, the cable helps the mower find its way back to the charging base. The mower can be set up on a timer so that it automatically cuts the lawn at the desired time. It has been calculated that on average you can save 40 hours a year by letting the Automower do the work for you.

Ever since W.C. Coleman began selling his brand new gas powered lanterns back in the year 1900, the Coleman name has been synonymous with quality outdoor recreational equipment. Now, more than a century later, the company continues to create a line of innovative and durable products including an array of coolers, tents, the ever popular camping stove, and now, their absolute brightest family-sized lantern, the Coleman Retro Rechargeable Battery Powered Lantern.

Coleman Retro Battery Powered Lantern Features and Highlights

Run by a recyclable, rechargeable battery, the Coleman rechargeable lantern offers a number of notable benefits for both the casual camper and avid outdoorsman alike. In terms of convenience alone, this retro styled battery powered lantern provides users with up to nine hours of light from one full charge. And, recharging is as simple as plugging into either a 120-volt AC outlet or your vehicle's 12-volt DC port with the included adapter, which easily stores in the base when not in use.

With the Coleman rechargeable lantern you also won't have to worry about being left out in the dark should a power outage occur. The lantern features a separate emergency-on circuit that will automatically activate if the lantern is plugged in while the power goes out.

Today more and more of us are looking for eco-friendly products to lessen our impact on the world around us and this particular Coleman rechargeable lantern is the ideal "green" camping accessory. Because it doesn't burn any type of fuel and never needs new batteries, the lantern is totally environmentally friendly and there's nothing worse than being out in the wilderness and realizing you need new batteries or another can of propane.

This particular Coleman battery powered lantern also features a reflector that helps to project its white light upward and outward, allowing it to be far more efficient by illuminating the most space possible. The lantern will operate for nine hours when used on the low setting and for six hours when on high.

In addition to these highlights, the Coleman rechargeable lantern provides functionality as well as it projects quite a bit of light with its eleven watt, fluorescent, spiral shaped U-tube light bulb. And, because the bulb is fluorescent, it and the lantern itself remain cool to the touch regardless of how long it's been on making it safer to have around the little ones and less likely to be a fire hazard.

Then, when it's time to change the Coleman rechargeable lantern bulb, the unit's quick release lever makes it simple. And there's even a replacement included with your purchase so you won't have to worry about forgetting to buy another bulb before your next camping trip or outdoor adventure.

This battery powered lantern by Coleman also features a built-in nightlight. Although it does weigh well over seven pounds, making it a bit on the heavy side in terms of portability for backpacking or hiking, the extra weight allows it to sit sturdily on a variety of surfaces and helps to keep it from being blown over easily.

The SL-1 from SunNight Solar is a solar flashlight that provides up to 6 hours of illumination on every charge. It is powered by 3 standard AA rechargeable batteries that charge in 8 hours. The flashlight has a hard ABS plastic exterior, which means it is highly water and shock resistent.

There are two things I should tell you upfront about the Backpacker's Diary: (1) it is really, really cool, and (2) it's just a concept. Sorry, this puppy isn't available yet. But brining you the latest in energy saving gadgets sometimes means giving you a glimpse of tomorrow. And here's what tomorrow may look like for hikers.

The Backpacker's diary is a PC that can be used like a laptop or read like a book. With internet access, hikers can check weather conditions and find area hotels and restaurants. The GPS Navigation System allows you to check your route on the way to the trail. The Backpacker's Diary would also come with a "bookmark," a handheld recording device that would allow you to document your trip, and then transfer your voice recording to the PC.

The Backpacker's Diary is powered by the sun with folding solar panels. The panels allow you to charge the device while you're hiking. The Backpacker's Diary is 10"x12"x2".
