The new all electric L1 Lightship RV Trailer

Posted on sustainedandable

‘The Lightship L1 is a tow-behind trailer rather than a drivable unit. You can pull it with a gas-powered or electric vehicle, but in either scenario, it has a major advantage over competing products: an on-board battery system that helps the trailer propel itself and preserve fuel efficiency on the vehicle in front.’ Source: https://www.pcmag.com/news/head-out-on-the-highway-first-look-at-lightships-electric-rv ‘The L1 was tightly engineered for zero emissions, for comfort, and built to last. We started with aero principles to create a near-zero range loss for EVs and lower costs at the gas pump. From the battery and solar roof down to appliances, every decision was

The Source Hyrdropanel

Posted on sustainedandable

‘SOURCE® Hydropanels™ replace the need for plastic bottles or costly water filtration systems. Make your own renewable, perfectly balanced drinking water without any additional infrastructure.’ Source: https://www.source.co/residential/ ‘First, the hydropanel takes in ambient air via fans and collects water vapor from that air onto a hygroscopic material (that can absorb moisture). With heat from the sun, the hydropanel converts water vapor collected into liquid water, “made pure.” The pure water is mineralized with magnesium and calcium to achieve an ideal taste profile. Finally, sensors in each hydropanel monitor and optimize the water to maintain quality. Sounds refreshing. The hydropanels produce an average of 3-5 liters of clean drinking water per day (or up to 1.3 gallons). They

CANDELA C-8 Electric Hydrofoil Boat

Posted on sustainedandable

The brand new Candela C-8 is an electric hydrofoil boat that fully lifts itself out of the water on the polestar electric drive system. This reduction in drag makes the green electricity-powered boat super efficient. ‘The C-8 uses hydrofoiling technology controlled by high precision custom-designed flight control software that allows the boat to fly nearly a meter above the surface of the water. That significantly reduces the boat’s drag by taking the hull out of the water, using around 80% less energy than conventional boats. With higher efficiency, the C-8 can go farther with a smaller battery pack and less

Portable Countertop Induction Cooktops

Posted on sustainedandable

Portable induction cooktops offer an inexpensive way to make a quick switch to energy-efficient cooking. Combine them with a renewable power source, and you can cook with a clean conscience. Unless you are frying stuff… That will still make you feel guilty. What makes induction cooking climate-friendly? Energy efficiency. Rather than heating the surface of your cooktop, induction cooktops use induction heating to warm your pots and pans. They are more energy-efficient because they transfer heat directly to your cookware. Your pot or pan is heated quickly and evenly, and you waste less energy during cooking. Greenhouse gas reduction. According to a
