Use the power of the sun to charge your gadgets with this ultra thin solar charger

Paying your electric bill every month is a real drag when you can get as much power as you want from the sun – for free. Ok, it’s not totally free because you need a solar panel to collect the power and they aren’t free. But if you are interested in going green, consider starting out with a small solar charger like Solar Paper from Yolk Station.

No, the Yolk Solar Paper doesn’t use eggs or chickens and it’s not made from paper. Solar Paper is a thin lightweight dual solar panel that will charge all of your USB gadgets.

It’s 3.5 x 7.5 x .43 inches when it’s folded and outputs 5V, 500mA per panel. Need more power? No problem, you can add additional solar panels which connect to the array using magnets.

The only downside to this product is the price. It starts at $148 for a 5W Solar Paper and goes up to $348 for the 15W version. Want more info? Head over to yolkstation.com and be sure to check Amazon where you can order a Solar Paper at a discounted price.

Burn more calories wurfing in front of your standing desk

Standing desks have obvious benefits. They promote standing to do your daily office work instead of sitting in front of your computer all day. I’ve tried a couple standing desks and like them just fine for a few days, but then I either get bored standing or my feet and knees begin hurting. The Wurf Board has been designed to solve these issues.

The Wurf Board is an anti-fatigue mat that has been designed for people who use standing desks. The Wurf Board is a fully adjustable air spring platform that you control from springy to firm.

When you stand on the platform, you’re compelled to make lots of micromovements that help with your circulation, standing comfort, and according to the people who make the Wurf, you’ll be burning 32% more calories than you do when you’re just standing stationary behind a desk.

Wurf Boards come in different sizes to match your weight and shoe size. They are priced from $199 to $299. You can find out more by visiting wurf.com and Amazon. We’ll be reviewing the Wurf Board in the coming weeks.

Focal Clears things up with a new high-end headphone

A year ago, I said the “The Focal Elear headphone may be the best headphone available for the money today.” However, it was (and still is) 1000 bucks—no small amount for headphones regardless of budget. But that—as they say—was then. Today, Focal has swapped the E in Elear for a C and has released the Clear headphone. Price-wise, Clear sits between the slightly less expensive Elear and the uber expensive Utopia model.

Like its siblings, the Focal Clear is an audiophile circum-aural open-back headphone, meaning it has a more open sound but leaks sound so anyone next to you can hear what you hear. According to Focal, this open back speaker design provides unparalleled dynamics.

The Clear headphone speaker’s aluminum/magnesium alloy features a new copper voice coil and offers a combination of low weight with high rigidity. This provides wide dynamics over the entire audio spectrum and is capable of revealing the tiniest details of a recording. Bass is controlled—even at high volumes.A new generation of perforated micro-fiber ear cushions helps give an impression of a very open space. The sensation of listening in the room—and not through headphones—is intensified. Listeners may think they are listening to the best loudspeakers on the market.

 

The Focal Clear comes with a hard carrying case and 3 different cable connections. An optional stand is available. The Clear headphone is available now and sells for $1,500 US. Visit www.focal.com/headphones for more information.
