Looking For Good Ways To Organize And Store Power Cords And Adapters From Electronic Gadgets?

August 20, 2009 · Filed Under Gadgets · Comments Off

Love your username!
I’m still struggling with this issue, too. I have a plastic set of small translucent drawers for USB cords, battery chargers, and small gadgets for home storage. Cost me abotu $20.
I’m about to take too many gadgets on vacation, as usual, and I’m considering Ziploc bags as I have used them on previous vacations. I’ll probably use snack bags for USB cords, then put them with the gadget in a quart sized or gallon sized Ziplocs.

Should I Turn Off Unnecessary Electronic Gadgets During A Power Outage?

July 22, 2009 · Filed Under Gadgets · 4 Comments

Let’s say thousands of people in your state have lost their electricity due to a natural catastrophe. But you still have electricity at your house. Should you turn off devices that use alot of electricity for entertainment purposes (HDTV, video game console, portable DVD player)? Will that have an effect on the regaining of your neighbors’ electric power or not?

The pump will harness the sun's rays to provide a relaxing gurgle in the middle of your water feature. The 5-watt solar panel produces up to 360 liters per hour of water flow, with five different fountainheads providing a diverse waterfall design.

Solar fountain pump

Review Date: August 14, 2010

Reviewer: S. Scott, California, USA

This pump works well when the sun is shining directly on the solor panel. Works well for a remote location without power, or to have it automatically start when the sun shines and stop at dusk. No battery to replace as there is none.

Good enough

Review Date: August 2, 2010

Reviewer: P. Vaughan, California

This little solar ensemble is good as long as the panel is in the direct line of the sun's rays. Best to get a battery to go with it unless you want to keep walking out to the panel and repositioning it as the sun changes direction. It also does not come with anything to hang it on, so you also need to figure that out when you get it. We lean ours on a rock. I'm not sure if you can get the panel wet. We have automatic sprinklers, so we bring it in just in case.

The product can not work alone even under full sun around noon time

Review Date: December 13, 2009

Reviewer: D. J. Ko, Cupertino, CA USA

I purchased this product and thought it will work just like the product described. However, after it arrived I found out it cannot work without spending much more money on other necessary components. When I first got it, I was very excited and tried out immediately under California's sun around noon time. I had tested the DC water pump with a 9V battery and it ran fine in clear water and raised the water about 2 feet high. Then, I also measure the solar panel with a multi-meter. Although it did give a 12V voltage, but the current was much less then it described on the product (.34AH). The current cannot even shown on my .25AH multi-meter. So, I had put them together and of cause the water pump didn't work. I had asked my solar engineer friends and found out it will need other components including a rechargeable solar battery (such as a 12V/5AH sealed lead-acid battery for approx. $50), a solar power controller (probably a MPPT type in winter, approx. $200) just to make it work in California. I may also need to have an outdoor housing for these components, a mounting rack for the solar panel and many different type of connectors (approx. $300 combined). I was very disappointed after knowing that I still need to spend much more money than the kit itself just to make it really working!

Poor custermer service

Reviewer: H. Smith,

After many contacts with Happi Sun I still do not have the pump and they have not replied to my email of 10 days ago!!!

good while it worked and the sky was blue

Review Date: September 28, 2009

Reviewer: Douglas Birbeck, akita, japan

the solar panel only works with strong sunlight and blue skies. there's a nice jet of water then, maybe over 2 feet. however mine has stopped working after only a couple of months, but i haven't checked why yet, could be a loose wire or something. anyway i bought it just as an experiment, so i'm not worried. if it was still working i'd give it 3 1/2 stars
