Doggy Poop Collector

 

I am a dog lover; if I pass one in the street I always stop to give them a stroke. However, as for having one of my own I just cannot see myself having the time to take them for a walk a couple of times a day. I also feel a bit sorry as the dog would be left in the house while I was at the office all day with nobody to keep it company. Finally, the one thing that puts me off more than anything would be the having to pick up excrement. Now I am sure I am not the only one who does not like the idea of doing that and for this reason the Doggy Poop Collector has been developed.

The Doggy Poop Collector is currently a concept by Kukil Han and Min-sung Kim and attempts to integrate a poop collector into a dog leash. By combining both a leash and a poop collector the designers hope people with a fear of picking up poop will be interested in buying this pet gadget as it “kills two birds with one stone” or solves two problems with one solution.

The poop scoop has been integrated into the handle of the pet leash so that the poop can be scooped up and stored until a convenient place to dispose of it has been found.  The Doggy Poop Collector features an auto leash control button and an excretion cleaner button for discarding the poop.

My personal opinions are that this pet gadget looks a little bit bulky, but I guess some bigger dogs have big poops. No matter what sized dog you have I am sure if a range of different sized Doggy Poop Collectors are developed then numerous people would be interested.

Solar Fountain Birdbath

 

The technology industry has not forgotten green bird lovers. It has produced the Solar Fountain Birdbath which utilizes solar energy instead of electricity to power up the garden decoration, thus helping to conserve energy and also cut down on electricity bills in the process. This is possible thanks to the solar panel placed in the center of the fountain which harnesses energy from the sun to power an internal pump.

This pump enables the continuous recirculation of water through a filter and up to the fountain to produce a spring of gently cascading water while eliminating stagnant water which can become a breeding ground for insects. The sound of the trickling water will also attract birds to the Solar Fountain Birdbath, as it is a well-known fact among bird lovers that birds are especially attracted to running water.

The Solar Fountain Birdbath can be set up anywhere in the garden. Take note though that some minor assembly will be required. It also requires an 8-hour charge, but it can last up to 6 hours after each charge. Do not fret if you do not get much sunlight at your place as only moderate sunlight is needed.

In terms of looks, the Solar Fountain Birdbath does not look too shabby with its wrought iron black base which is forged by hand. This is reinforced with an iron hoop for more strength and stability. The fountain’s aluminum bowl comes in a rich copper finish, giving it a touch of elegance.

Oil Cleaning Guard that Feeds on Oil

 

Since the Deepwater Horizon oil spill also known as the BP spill, more research and development has been carried out on methods for oil removal from the environment. I think it is clear to everyone that no matter how careful we are, and how many precautions we take, there is always going to be spills. Therefore, rather than wasting time developing safety measure to stop it happening (which sometimes fail), we need to concentrate our efforts on better and quicker clean-up methods.

The Oil Cleaning Guard offers a solution.  Providing a one stop solution, the Oil Cleaning Guard is able to contain the spill, preventing it from spreading and damaging wildlife and environments. In parallel to preventing the spread, the Oil Cleaning Guard emits a series of light beams that aim to scare birds and aquatic wildlife away from the spill.

As a bonus, the unit is able to perform onsite filtration of the oil droplets in the water. Due to reducing the spread and damage to the environment, and being able to recover the spilled oil, this concept looks like it could pay for itself over time. Of course we hope that we never have to use a device like this, but better to be over protected than under prepared.
