Detergentless Washing Machine Cleans Clothes and Rivers
Rated • 1 review • gadgets • ecogeek.org
Detergentless Washing Machine Cleans Clothes and Rivers 
Yes, it sounds impossible, but apparently they've done it. A washing machine that doesn't use detergent. It's patented, of course, and it would seem that this machine converts water into a kind of detergent. Any chemist knows that soap, really, is just a way of making water wetter. And by breaking water into H+ and OH- ions, the Wash2O is able to clean clothes with a slightly basic solution, and then sterlize them with a slightly acidic solution. Then, before dumping the water, everything is mixed back together to pH neutral.
It's a pretty fantastic idea. If you could get on in America, it would set you back about $1000, but remember that you'd never have to buy detergent again, and you wouldn't have to feel bad about dumping phosphates into the rivers.
Though, I think I'll wait to hear some first-hand reports.

"The WashUP device uses the washerâ€s discarded water as the water for the toilet. Very clever as who needs clean water for flushing?"

Klimatec Base 1 AirWater Machine Extracts Fresh Water...

From the page: Klimatec Base 1 AirWater Machine Extracts Fresh Water From The Air 
Water, water, everywhere! Even in the air.
There's gallons of water hanging in the air, and the Klimatec Base 1
AirWater Machine extracts it for your drinking pleasure. It's not just
a few drops here and there, either - this beast can give you an
astonishing five gallons of fresh H2O every 24 hours. It cleans the
extracted water with an active carbon filter, runs it through an
ultraviolet light chamber to kill bacteria, and then serves it up to
you hot or chilled.The first caveat we thought of: This AirWater machine must use a lot
of power, but Klimatec fixed that, too, offering a solar power option
so the machine can keep on working even after the apocalypse. You'll
need powerful solar cells, though - it requires 480W to operate. It
even goes beyond providing mere water, offering an optional
refrigerator to keep food and beers cold.This sounds so useful, we're wonder if there's a catch. Would it
work in the desert? Could it be way too pricey to be practical? We've
contacted the company about that - stay tuned for a pricing update.Klimatec

Inhabitat & Forget the bulb: world's first illuminating...

Forget the bulb: world's first illuminating glass 
While the unit itself is dazzling, it produces a soothing light that eliminates the need for lampshades, and is better for wellbeing. Environmental improvements are delivered in part by the non-toxic gas employed: a significant improvement over the mercury-infused gas of neon bulbs. The average lifespan of a plate is 50,000 hours, which translates to 20 years of domestic use. And when it does cease to function, 90% of the design can be recycled, as it's essentially based on glass.
Currently, each 100W plate lights 40 square meters of space, an efficiency halfway between a conventional bulb and a neon light. The company is working to improve the light efficiency of the shelf, aiming to develop plates as effective as a neon light within 3 years, but without neon's toxicity and somewhat unpleasant light quality and color.

Tiny Pill-Sized Plasma Bulb is Brighter Than Streetlight...

Tiny Pill-Sized Plasma Bulb is Brighter Than Streetlight
From the page:
"Luxim labs recently unveiled an incredibly energy efficient light bulb that packs more luminosity than a street lamp into a pill-sized form factor. Each bulb is filled with argon gas, which turns to plasma when electricity is focused through it. The energy is driven to the bulb without electrodes. The resulting light is intensely bright and mirrors the quality of light radiated by the sun, yet is produced by one of the smallest, most energy efficient light sources we've seen.
Luxim, Pill bulb, tiny pill light bulb plasma bulb, halodes, super bright light bulb, eco lighting, green lighting, sustainable lighting, energy efficient lighting, lumen, pill-sized plasma bulb, argon gas, super-bulb, LED, light bulb
A substantial portion of energy is converted into light instead of heat, which makes the bulbs highly efficient. Each super-bulb produces a stunning 140 lumens per watt, doubling the output of high-end LEDs 70 lumens per watt and leaving standard light bulbs in the dust 15 lumens per watt . While cost and longevity have yet to be released, these brilliant bulbs represent a bright future for energy efficient lighting."
