Griffin Technology PowerJolt Micro For iPad Charging

I think I have solved my iPad charging woes with this little dubrey wotsit. It’s called the Griffin Technology PowerJolt Micro and enables me to get the maximum charge rate of 2.1A from my solar devices/ batteries and my car power socket etc. Before using it my iPad would say ‘not charging’ but was in fact charging [...]

MiFi powered by the Solargorilla

I am doing as much testing as I can with the Solar Gorilla in overcast conditions before the summer comes. I feel as we spend most of the year in over cast conditions I will get to see a more accurate reflection of the SolarGorilla’s uses in the UK. If you do live in a sunnier climate [...]

Portable Solar Power

Let’s make The Geeknbury Festival 2008 happen!! On the 24th to the 27th of July I will be in a field near Hambledon in Surrey whether you guys want to join in or not. I will most likely have a T-shirt on saying ‘Geeknbury 2008′ and although I don’t know exactly how many people are [...]
