Off Grid Technologies on Behance. Multi-Touch Keyboard and Mouse by Jason Giddings. What are Multi-Touch peripheralsMulti-Touch keyboards and mice are the next generation in computer peripherals. These elegant well made devices are composed of quality tempered glass, a solid metal base, and the finest components. They are designed using simple existing technology and have no moving parts. They have rechargeable Lithium Polymer batteries and are completely wireless. The tactile sounds and lighting can be turned on or off per the users' preference plus they are coffee and doughnut resistant! Open source software That's right, the software is open source! I believe in order to realize the true potential of a multi-touch keyboard and mouse we are going to need everyone's great ideas! Simple technology! The design is based on a touch screen technology known as FTIR or Frustrated Total Internal Reflection.
The Name Game? Extra IncentiveI am also offering an incentive for the KickStarter who gets the most new contributors to back this project! What is the money used for? What is a Smart Home? Video Example of Smart Home Technology in Action... How to Solar Power Your Home / House #1 - On Grid vs Off Grid. Batteries. Solar Power 101: Batteries Part 1 by Jeffrey Yago, P.E., CEM. This article is the first in a series of what will be a beginner's course in solar electricty.
Simultaneously we have instituted a Home Energy Information (www.homeenergy.info) section on our website where you can ask questions of Jeff Yago, the author of this series. Yago is a licensed professional engineer and certified energy manager who has writtten many energy articles for BHM. He has extensive solar thermal and solar photovoltaic system design experience, and is author of Achieving Energy Independence — One Step At A Time, which includes many solar system wiring examples.
Those interested in solar electricity will want to save these articles for future review when planning your solar system. I am getting numerous requests from readers wanting very specific guidance on how to install their own solar electric systems. Many have already found that this process is a little like trying to build an automobile by purchasing parts from a NAPA dealer.
