Creative and Unusual Solar Gadgets. The solar panel, which is 5 inches by 4.5 inches, powers the fan, which exchanges hot air inside the car for the presumably cooler air outside. If you park in the shade and want to use the fan, there’s a plug-in adapter for the car.

Creative and  Unusual Solar Gadgets
This nifty little solar device has a battery built in that charges itself using the sun’s rays. Powerful sonic waves are produced at 20-40 second intervals, which in turn scare off rodents in the surrounding 4,500 square foot area. This product eliminates the use of harmful toxins which would normally be used to get rid of rodent inhabitants.

The repeller operates off a NiCad battery, which has a low discharge rate when not in use. The internal battery is recharged by sunlight collected through the solar disk protruding toward the sun, saving electricity. The repeller is conveniently weather proof, but results and durability vary based on location and wear and tear. These babies are being sold at the low price of $ 59.95 each or at a reduced price when you buy them in twos.

The HSL3010 model, delivering 50,000 lumen of sunlight, is set to be available for commercial buildings early 2007 and won’t begin to be tested for residential housing until 2008. Until this product is produced in mass quantities, which will drive costs down, will this technology be implemented into every day living.
