I stumbled on a gadget that I find really cool as much on the technological side as environmental. It is actually a pot with a real plant that can recharge at least twice a day a smartphone! I think it’s just amazing!

BIOO, THE PLANT THAT RECHARGES YOUR SMARTPHONE WITH PHOTOSYNTHESIS

Bioo, is the name of this product that I admire enormously. This is a pot where you grow a plant and transform the energy that it produces during its photosynthesis. Then, a small mechanism at the bottom of the pot will recover this energy to turn it into electricity that will then be used to recharge a mobile phone, tablet or other electronic gadgets.

WHY AM I A FAN OF THIS NATURAL RECHARGE MODE?

As indicated in the subtitle above, this method allows recharging a phone using natural energy. Which can have big impacts on our society. First, it will reduce our electricity bill, because we will be able to produce electricity ourselves (it’s all very well renewable energy, but let’s be honest, what interests us the most is the cheaper electrical bill)!

Second, with all the new technologies, more and more buildings, bigger and bigger cities, which mean fewer trees, fewer plants, and so on. And with Bioo’s approach, it could just make you want to have more Forest Plantations around you (push us to save the trees and protect the planet for our grandkids).

THE FUTURE OF BIOO: GENERATING ELECTRICITY ON THE LAWN

Moreover, the founders of Bioo do not intend to stop at this small pot and they do not hide their ambitions. Their long-term goal is to encourage cities to plant more trees so that they produce enough energy to meet our needs. And even design a system to produce his near energy thanks to the lawn of his garden or even on his balcony. And that, if it could happen one day, I would find it really great!

LET’S ENCOURAGE THIS GREEN ENERGY!

Naturally, this conversion to “green” energy will not happen overnight and it will not be done by one person. For this reason, the startup has set up a page to receive donations. So, if clean and renewable energy is something that interests you, if you would love to generate your own electricity to reduce your electricity bill or to relieve the planet, or if you find it cool to recharge your phone with a plant, so feel free to visit the donation page to help get things done .

When comparing computers on Windows and Mac OS X, many prefer Macs for the simplicity, elegance and above all the security they offer: that’s why, when it comes to choosing An all-in-one computer, iMacs make a lot of people happy – even if the price is sometimes is a bit high.

In recent years, Windows PC vendors have renewed their product line to offer computers that offer multitouch capability as standard on their screens.

Unfortunately for Apple fans dreaming of a touch-sensitive iMac, it seems that this company does not really want to offer this feature which, although it may seem superfluous to some, could, however, make proud service to others.

Zorro Macsk, the framework that makes the iMac Touchscreen

As pointed out in the previous paragraph, Mac OS X is not traditionally tactile.

And according to Phil Schiller, vice president of marketing at Apple Inc., it may even be the case because the use of such a machine would be anything but comfortable.

But it should be noted that like many users, the manufacturers of accessories do not necessarily share this opinion.

This is shown by the Chinese manufacturer Lumiaview with its product Zorro Macsk, a framework to create a touchscreen on iMac 21.5 and 27 inches.

Henceforth, no need to try to replace the panel of the screen to expect a touch iMac.

Just install the Zorro Macsk frame on the screen of its iMac and voila. It behaves like a trackpad so that all the gestures usually used on the trackpad are compatible.

How does Zorro Macsk work?

Zorro Macsk is a frame that magnetically attaches to 21.5 and 27-inch iMac screens, making them tactile and multi-touch.

Its operation is based on an infrared system. Indeed, diodes have been arranged all around Zorro Macsk and generate a beam.

When one interrupts said beam by touching the screen or even touching it, a point of contact is detected and considered as a click at the precise location.

The Zorro Macsk installs very easily, in just a few seconds. Just place Zorro Macsk on the iMac screen (it attaches magnetically) and then connect it to USB on the back of the screen. 10 seconds later, the system is ready to use.

It can be removed just as easily if you want to stop using it.
