9 EXCITNG GREEN TECHNOLOGIES FROM 2015.
1. Smart scooter
It's described as the world's first "smart scooter" and has been developed to meet the challenges of rapidly expanding cities. The Gogoro Smartscooter is a zero emissions, electric powered two-wheeler designed to be both user-friendly and accessible to the mass market. One of the big selling points is that riders won't need to wait to refuel or recharge it. The company has announced plans for the Gogoro Energy Network, a battery swapping infrastructure. That means when the lithium ion cells become depleted, users can make a six-second swap at any GoStation for a fully charged battery pack. Batteries can be reserved in advance, and a subscription-based payment model offers unlimited access to as many charged batteries as needed. The Smart scooter is packed with 30 on board sensors, cloud connectivity and an integrated Gogoro mobile application that enables the scooter to find the closest GoStation, deliver detailed scooter diagnostics, customized regenerative braking and track ride details.
2. Electronic 'undershoes'
Could strapping a pair of these to your feet be an answer to curbing urban congestion? Given that most traffic moves at an amble, this product from French company Rollkers is claimed to increase a person's average walking speed to up to 7 mph. Company founder Paul Chavand, conceived the idea based largely on the magic feeling he experienced when using the "travelator" or the moving walkway traditionally found in airports.
As he deemed it unfeasible to equip an entire city with travelators, he inverted the problem and focused on integrating the technology into footwear. "People drive and take public transportation that pollutes the air and environment with nasty emissions; and Rollkers helps to reduce that to some extent," he said.
The product is expected to be available for licensees in late 2015.
3. Mobility for the masses
The automotive sector is always out in force at CES and this year was no different. Ford has used the event to announce a series of 25 mobility "experiments" to take place around the world.
In Bangalore, India, Ford is working with Zoomcar to test a sharing concept that would allow small groups — co-workers, apartment dwellers and families — to share a vehicle among multiple drivers. In London and New York, the auto maker is investigating a shareable service of mini-buses offering point-to-point pick-up and drop-off on-demand with the aim of better understanding the social dynamics and routing requirements of shared transportation. Meanwhile, in Atlanta, Ford is working with Georgia Tech on technology that makes it easier for a driver to locate a parking space, reserve it and navigate to the space with the goal of reducing fuel consumption and emissions.
4. Accelerating the hydrogen future
Toyota has followed in the footsteps of Tesla by revealing at CES 2015 that it is making available thousands of hydrogen fuel cell patents royalty-free. The auto giant hopes the initiative will spur development and introduction of innovative fuel cell technologies around the world.
The list includes about 1,970 patents related to fuel cell stacks, 290 associated with high-pressure hydrogen tanks, 3,350 related to fuel cell system software control and 70 patents related to hydrogen production and supply.
Bob Carter, senior vice president of Automotive Operations at Toyota Motor Sales, USA Inc., said: "The first generation hydrogen fuel cell vehicles, launched between 2015 and 2020, will be critical, requiring a concerted effort and unconventional collaboration between automakers, government regulators, academia and energy providers. By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically."
5. Self-driving cars
For Audi, CES was a chance to demonstrate its driverless technology.
An Audi A7 arrived at CES in Las Vegas, Nev., after a 560-mile journey from Silicon Valley, much of it piloted by itself, proving its capability of driving in traffic.
The drive was made possible by a change in California's laws allowing testing of driverless cars on public roads as long as an experienced test driver was in the passenger seat. The concept vehicle used various production-ready sensors as well as sensors integrated into production vehicles today that detect the vehicles surroundings.
6. Wearable environmental monitors
Wearables were center stage at CES, including this, the "wearable enviro tracker" from TZOA.
It incorporates a sensor for measuring air quality, UV as well as other things such as temperature and humidity. Unlike traditional environmental sensors that tend to be large and expensive, this one is designed to be affordable and simply clip to your clothing or bag.
According to TZOA, particles in the air — such as those from vehicle exhausts — have the greatest global environmental effect on human health and is the top metric for air quality levels in highly polluted cities such as Beijing and Delhi. The device alerts you about the state of the air quality with a notification via your smart phone and also uses the data captured to create a street-level pollution map in your community — enabling you to avoid them in the future.
7. Portable solar charger
On the clean energy front, Solpro launched what it says is the industry's fastest portable solar charger, which enables a standard smartphone to be charged in 90 minutes — compared to the typical nine to 20 hours. Small enough to fit in a pocket, Helios Smart allows up to two devices to be charged at one time and works with most smartphones, tablets and other USB-enabled devices.
"We want to make solar charging the new way for consumers to power all of their devices on-the-go and off-the-grid," said Bill Pike, CEO of Solpro. "The idea of solar charging is compelling, but the reality for busy mobile consumers is that it is just not viable for everyday use. Helios Smart has changed all that, and is now the only charging device a person will need for all their on-the-go power. We have moved solar charging beyond the realm of specialty or limited use and brought it to the masses."
8. Smart air-conditioning
A solution to help you get more energy efficient in your home came from start-up Sensibo. It's developed a device that makes a standard remote-controlled air conditioner connected and intelligent, and saves 40 percent on its energy use. It lets users control their air-conditioning with an app that automatically adapts to your lifestyle and changes units settings when appropriate.
9. Connected homes
At CES, Nest announced a raft of more partners to its "Works with Nest" concept. This makes Nest devices compatible and able to interact with other things both inside and outside of your house with the aim of making a smarter, more connected home.
Partnerships have been developed with third party companies including electric vehicle charging company Charge point, which means your thermostat can let your charging station know when energy is in high demand so you can avoid charging your car when electricity is most expensive.
Also, the Kevo Smart Lock from Kwikset Kevo can tell your Nest thermostat who is at home and what temperatures they like or when no one is at home so your thermostat doesn't waste energy.

SIX EXCITING NEW TECHNOLOGIES...
Technology
moves at an ever increasing pace and last
year was no exception. Whilst we saw
many emerging
technologies, 2014 is set to bring them into the
consumer
marketplace....
This
article takes a look at some of the most exciting
technologies you can expect
to see more of in the
coming year.
4k Resolution
4K resolutionis a type of high definition display for
devices.
The name refers to it’s horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels.
That’s
double the resolution of devices that have been available
until this year.
4k
content will start to become readily available with Netflix
showing off their
internet-delivered service at the Consumer
Electronics Show (CES).
Netflix is also now able to stream 4k
video at a rate comparable to current HD
streaming.
With
many manufacturers producing 4k TVs and monitors,
2014 is set to be the
year that 4k TV becomes consumer ready.
There has also been a significant drop
in price, making it a
more accessible offering for mass market consumption.
3D Printing and Scanning
This year will see a vast amount of 3D printer
manufacturers
with many new kickstarters to boot. 3D printers are becoming
easier to obtain for the average consumer with models now
available under
£1,000. Users can now create 3D models or buy
them premade from various
modeling sites. Companies like
Makerbot are at the forefront of delivering high
quality ready
made 3D printers that are making it more accessible for
everyone.
There
are also developments in 3D scanning technology. The
Sense 3D scanner allows
users to scan anything from small
consumer products including footwear to much
larger objects
and even themselves.
Car Technology
Self driving cars seem like something from the
future,
but recent developments in autonomous driving make it
a much nearer
reality. Audi’s concept A7 Autonomous
car drove itself onto the stage at the
CES show,
stopping in front of hundreds of spectators. The vehicle
scans the
road ahead using lasers, radar and cameras
on the windshield which check blind
spots. The
autopilot technology is intended to give drivers a break
on long
journeys. It can also read data from its inbuilt
GPS to automatically switch
indicators on before the
next turn.
Audi
has also developed its Connect system that allows
the car to have built in
Wifi, allowing up to 8 mobile
devices to connect in car. The inbuilt 3G
connection
allows the car to connect to Google Maps for high
definition photos
of the surrounding area.
Wearable technology
With Google Glass still awaiting a sensible
priced release,
smaller firms will be showing off their own tech-enhanced
eyewear.
Another pair of smart glasses is the Glassup. It superimposes
alerts from your
phone, directions and other information onto
the user’s right eye.
Much
of the other wearable tech we’ll see this year will be
focused on fitness with
many brands producing bracelets.
Razor’s Nabu integrates two OLED screens that
monitor
information including your heart rate, how many steps you’ve
taken and
your sleeping habits. The Nabu also sets itself from
the rest by including
motion gesture control which can help
you
navigate your smartphone with the
flick of a wrist. Many of the
smart bracelets available give you goals and diet
tips along the
way. Some even incorporate games to compete with your
friends so
you can track who has travelled the furthest or
burned the most calories.
Augmented Reality
Augmented and virtual reality could be one of the fastest
growing technologies this year. A few devices were developed
in the 90’s
including the Nintendo’s Virtual Boy. However, it
failed due to low resolution
and motion graphics that caused
dizziness in users.
Oculus,
the company behind the Oculus Rift, started as a
Kickstarter campaign and after
gaining investment now has a
vast amount of early adopters. The new Oculus Rift
Prototype
dubbed the ‘Crystal Cove’ improves motion tracking, allowing
for a
better and realistic head movement. The added 1080p
OLED screen provides a much
higher resolution. Motion
sickness has been addressed with users now being able
to enjoy
the Rift for sustained periods of time.
PrioVR
have developed a full body exoskeleton suit which users
can wear to provide
full motion capture capability. You can
run, jump and even crawl with natural
movement. Paired with
the Oculus Rift, this enables a sophisticated experience
of the
virtual world.
Home automation
Homes are also starting to become smarter,
tracking
information about how we live and using that data to provide
better
solutions to our everyday routines. We can expect home
automation to improve
vastly on the devices of last year. In
2014, the home automation market will
rapidly expand as home
owners find the latest gadgets more accessible.
We’ve
already seen many robotic cleaning solutions, but one
big upgrade we can expect
to see this year is the Moneual Rydis
H68-Pro with the dual setup of hoover and
mop combined. This
robotic cleaner navigates its way around whilst hoovering
and
cleaning up debris. After a thorough clean, it will change into
mopping
mode using cleaning fluids built into its storage tank.
Home
security is making progress too, in the form of automatic
door locking systems.
There are already a number of systems
that can remotely open and lock doors
from your smartphone,
but this year we will see devices that will be compatible
with
more locking mechanisms.
That’s
our round-up of technology to keep an eye out for during
2014. Let us know if
you spot any other exciting technologies
throughout the year!
