Sanyo's back, adding more prestige to the Eneloop brand by offering the Eneloop Portable Solar panel that can be used to juice up a slew of USB devices as well as Sanyo's very own Eneloop Mobile Booster. Perfect if you want to give your device a little pick-me-up wherever you are, as long as the sun doesn't set, that is. We wouldn't recommend you placing your gadget attached to this under direct sunlight as the former might just wilt under the intense heat. It has yet to be seen as to how much the Eneloop Portable Solar panel will cost, nor which markets will it appear in.

Posted on July 27, 2009 6:06 AM
Sanyo's CY-SPJ220 is a folding bicycle that boasts 20" tires, allowing you to tote this green traveling machine with you even in smaller elevators. Sounds like the perfect companion for Ikea fans as that would mean this bicycle can also be stowed away in an apartment foyer. This hybrid bicycle will come with a Two-Wheel Drive System, where conventional pedal power will be applied to the rear wheel, while the electric motor makes sure the front wheel is able to keep up. This means both wheels will grip the road in a secure maner to introduce a stable feeling when riding. We can expect to see this arrive in Japan by September 21st for an undisclosed fee.
Sanyo Works On Rain Water Purification System
Posted on July 23, 2009 7:05 AM
The folks at Sanyo are fed up with how plenty of rain water go to waste in most residential areas, and they have come up with a new system that uses its original ozonation technology for purifying, sterilizing, and effectively utilizing rain water saved in a tank. The simple act of sprinkling purified/sterilized rainwater on various places such as a rooftop or on the outdoor units of showcases and air conditioners will help reduce heat penetration into a building, resulting in an increase of operating efficiency. This will ultimately help one save energy - nifty during the hot and sweltering summers, cutting down one's expense where electricity is concerned at the same time. Currently, the Rain Water Purification/Sterilization System can be installed in the buildings of commercial facilities in Japan for field testing purposes, so hopefully it will yield favorable results to see action in residential homes in the near future.
