This kit includes 16 different pieces that you will have to put together to get your favorite tunes on your solar-powered FM radio. You will also get a couple of AA batteries, but may I just remind you that you can run this device on batteries or the solar panel. Although this doesn’t look that much modern,…

I’ve seen a lot of solar chargers out there, but this is one of the first time I came across a solar-powered iPod speakers. The nice thing about this device is that this won’t require you to carry spare batteries and chargers as it can get power directly from the sun.

And with the size of its solar panel, I daresay that this will juice up pretty quickly. It’s not waterproof and water-resistant though, so make sure you take it away from pools and such. This…

According to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration’s (NASA) Jet Propulsion Laboratory, days will now be shorter because of the “quake’s hit shifted the Earth’s axis by three inches.” As you very well know, the axis determines the length of time for each day.
