In today’s society, we routinely rely on devices of mobile technology such as cellphones, iPods, laptops, digital cameras and handheld games. Of course, these devices are usually powered by rechargeable batteries or the kind you have to replace right away. As a result, consumers can end up spending quite a bit of money every year on batteries for the times when they can’t use special cords and adapters to power their devices. But what about a new innovation that eliminates the need for buying batteries?

Once again, Chinavasion is here to satisfy your needs, dear readers. They have developed a device called the Solar Vest. As its name implies, this vest actually is designed to absorb and store energy from the sun when worn by a person. The vest is equipped with 5V, 6V, 9V and 12-20V output, eight power connectors and seven device connectors. Furthermore, the vest does have a failsafe option for cloudy days. AC and USB inputs can be used to increase the vest’s energy reserves.

The Solar Vest is available to the consumer for only $126. Such an investment could be a long-term means of saving money you would have spent on batteries. However, you should consider how practical wearing this vest would be on a very hot day. Would hours of sweat and discomfort really be worth saving battery money?

When it comes to cleaning carpets in the home or on the job, vacuum cleaners are usually the weapon of choice for doing such a task. Of course, well-known companies such as Hoover, Eureka, and Oreck all claim that they have the best to offer in terms of vacuum cleaner technology. However, I wonder if any of them has ever tried or even thought of creating an automatic, self-operating vacuum cleaner with a camera for capturing live footage of your carpet while in use.

Well, Chinavasion has already built this carpet-cleaning innovation. They call the G182. It is actually a smart robot designed to function as a vacuum cleaner. It comes with a recharging base that it can dock with automatically. It also has a wireless IR virtual fence that prevents it from going into places that the user considers undesirable. Another feature of the G182 is a tilt IR-equipped web camera that can be operated by remote control and a net connection. The camera can be linked to your home Wi-Fi network to give you live footage and audio capability when the robot is in active use.

You can have this new smart vacuum for only $500 if you like spending that much on home cleaning appliances. But before you pull out your wallet or checkbook, dear reader, be aware that this innovation has a significant flaw. Due to the webcam mounted on the top, the robot unit will not fit under most couches, so you’d still have to move the couch yourself to get at the dirt underneath. This fact certainly does not add credibility to such a new innovation that’s supposed to give great convenience to the consumer.
