The Future of Green Electronics
Freeplay Energy’s new digital radio has looks inspired by modern design—and electronics inspired by rural Africa. The radio, for sale in Britain, uses low-power tech similar to that in the company’s wind-up radios for developing countries. That means it uses 10 times less electricity than an ordinary digital radio, so it can run entirely off a solar panel on its cover. And according to panelists at today’s CES session on “Greener Gadgets,” it’s an example of a how products designed for places with little electricity—products that have to be energy-efficient if they’re going to work at all—can lead to more eco-friendly gadgets for everyone.
