Lifebook Leaf The Lifebook Leaf has been designed by Americans Laura Karnath and Carl Burdick. They have participated with this design concept and won the Fujitsu Design Award for “a life with future computing”. While it has a Matrix feel to it, the laptop is actually a wonderful alternative to contemporary technology, offering a solution that dismisses regular power sources.

The Lifebook Leaf uses a single and flexible OLED touchscreen that you can flat out or fold into a notebook form. Because the exterior is covered in rubber, it is well protected against unpleasant events that lead to scratching. It’s also completely waterproof when shut. Featuring a small OLED panel on the back that shows charging data and notifications, along with a 4G module for integrating communication, 3 cameras that can shoot 3D images and allow depth sensing (for a gestural control). But the best thing about the Lifebook Leaf is that it can be charged by sunlight. It’s a beautiful way to make use of the latest technology while preserving nature.

Of course, this could be a concept that’s years ahead of its time. But hopefully, some day, the Lifebook Leaf will be a popular choice and maybe even inspire future, more advanced eco-friendly technologies.

Nokia comes with a great product which is ecological, too. It’s about a possibility of charging your phone riding the bicycle.

When you have more than 6 km/h the charging kit is an effective way to generate power and at 12 km/h it charges as efficiently as common Nokia mains chargers.

It’s very easy to install this kit and using phone will have no environmental impact. It gives you electricity supply from your own pedal power and it resist to any weather circumstances.

It will cost around $18 and will be available at the end of the year.

Power generation:
• Compatible with bottle type bicycle dynamos with 6 V/3 W and 12 V/3 W output
• 5.0 V/450 mA/15 km/h. Maximum current 70 mA
• Charging starts at ~6 km/h and maximum output is achieved at 25 km/h. Charging stops when the speed reaches 50 km/h.
• Charging time depends on cycling speed, for example a Nokia 1202 with a 860 mAh battery can be charged with about 20 minutes of cycling at a speed of about 10 km/h (for the Nokia 1202 this would mean approximately 57 mins talk time or 74 h standby time)
