10 More Cool Green Gadgets to Help You Save Energy
<<– Small devices for saving energy on page 1
Large Devices
Fit PC 2.0: Saving ~96% of the power used by a standard desktop computer, this PC is supposedly “the most power efficient PC on the Energy-Star list.” It is smaller than a soda can and is the smallest PC available. (Prices & options range. Starting from $294 ordering direct, on Amazon, or on the Book PC)
Spin-X Dryer: “The Spin-X can remove one quart of water from clothes taken out of the washing machine, using the same amount of electricity the Clothes Dryer uses in 15 seconds!” Seems like a win. The efficient dryer also removes soap, detergents, perfumes & chemicals rather than drying them into your clothes. Drying times for hard-to-dry items (i.e. jeans, towels) are cut in half with this dryer. “Research showed that the SPIN-X Spindryer reduced Electricity costs by $1,104.96 during a 3 year period, at an average of $368.32 per year electricity savings.” ($600 + $40 shipping in Continental U.S.)
Vornado Heaters: Space heaters that don’t just heat the area directly around it, but heat the whole room. Cam also keep a room at an even temperature with an electronic thermostat you can set. Can reportedly save $150 or more a season using these. (Cost varies, many models and options: $40 to $200)
Wiser Home Control (Australia): Monitor and control nearly every device in your home from your computer or cell phone with this system. From your lights to your security system to your stove to your air conditioning to your irrigation system, you can keep an eye on your electrical devices and save energy from nearly anywhere.
