Flexible Solar Cells: SolarRolls by Bruton

Justin — Fri, 20 Apr 2007 19:41:17 +0000

Brunton makes a range of flexible solar cells they call SolarRolls. These weather-proof solar cells can be rolled up quite tightly, and attached to a backpack. Seen here is a 14W model — it produces DC power even during low light conditions. SolarRolls come with a range of plugs, including a standard car lighter socket. They can also be attached together if you need more power. See a review and more photos of the SolarRoll at RainyDay Magazine. It’s available from Amazon for $399.

A Keyring-Sized Multitool by Swiss Tech

At first glance, this keyring tool looks just like any other key. When you open it up, you’ll find that it’s actually 6 tools in 1. Here’s what it contains:

straight knife blade
a serrated cutting surface
a micro-sized screwdriver
a Phillips screwdriver
an eyeglass screwdriver
bottle opener

The whole thing weighs in at only 0.5 oz, so you won’t notice it among your other keys. While well made, the Utili-Key is not suitable for heavy duty tasks. Swiss Tech also offers an 8 in 1 keyring tool.

It’s available from Amazon for $6.29

These are the best pocket-sized “survival kits” we’ve seen. They are a collection of minimalist survival tools packed into a tiny case — handy to have during wilderness travel or any other time a emergency situation could arise. They also include “Survival Instructions” with 33 illustrations printed on waterproof paper. The packs were designed by Doug Ritter who runs the Equipped to Survive website. There’s a detailed explanation of these packs here, and you can see a close-up of the contents of the kit on this page. They are from Amazon for $27.
