It’s amazing how small that mini solar powered race car is! Can it store energy or is it limited to working under sunlight/artificial light only?

Isn’t the solar mini solar powered race car a cute little bugger. As for the solar powered headphones, that makes a lot of sense to get. However I’m worried about whether an object that is on your head and charging at the same time would cause any radiation absorption.

My worry about eco products and especially prototype products, is that whatever we do somewhere down the link there is still a trail of waste. quite simply are these things really necessary to our daily lives? If not, when produce or use them?

as much as we try to go green we are still producing useless tat which will eventually contribute to our childrens downfall.
