iTouchless Bag Re-sealer

We’ve all done it at least once. Okay, probably more than once, and it’s not our faults because we were just busy, but leaving an open bag of chips out seems to happen somewhat frequently. We don’t always have a chip clip for our bags, so we just roll up the open end and hope they stay good for as long as possible. Well, never again my friend, for there is the iTouchless Bag Re-Sealer. This ingenious device will seal…

Build your own solar FM radio for $3

In the event of a major disaster, it’s always good to have a radio on hand. You might think that your cell phone is going to get you through a crisis, but if it’s something on a large scale, such as an earthquake, you might have trouble getting calls through. Generally, you can flip on your radio and find some sort of up-to-date information on what’s going on. But how many of you actually have a radio that’s battery-powered? And…

Recycled Vinyl Record Guitar Picks

There are a surprising number of things you can do with old records. Since the vinyl is easy to heat up and mold, people make all sorts of things with them. The most common to see are bowls, as you just heat one up in the oven while sitting on top of an upside-down bowl. One really cool idea is to turn them into guitar picks. These Recycled Vinyl Record Guitar Picks are brilliant. You’re making music with something that…

Recycled Cardboard Cooler Boxes

We all like to go an a picnic here and there. The only problem with that is the heat of summer wanting to spoil your food. Now we can’t have that happening, can we?

Sprout Biodegradable Watches

It�s always nice to have a hobby. A common hobby is to collect something; oftentimes it is very materialistic, such as hats, shoes, or watches. It seems that there is a growing want to become a �greener� country. However, if we really want to embrace such an endeavor, we need to support products that have the environment in mind. At least watch collectors out there can breathe easy with Sprout Biodegradable Watches. These come in a myriad of colors, and…

Turn an old bottle into an ordinary drinking glass

While we don’t promote drinking here at the Red Ferret, there are plenty of instances where one can encounter a glass bottle. My favorite root beer actually comes in brown bottles. So what does one do when they’ve finished their drink? Or perhaps you’ve collected bottles by the side of the road. Sending them off to a recycling center is much better than dumping it in the trash, but you can also re-purpose them at home. The video below will…

Erbe Planter/Grill combines grilling and gardening, for some reason

I’m all for the idea of combining two different products into one dual-purpose item. Many times this results in one device that is far more useful than either stand-alone items. However, sometimes you’ll come across one that just leaves you scratching your head and wondering why they thought this was a good idea. Falling in the latter category is the Erbe Planter/Grill. At first glance, this will look like your average planter, complete with whatever lively greens you decide to…

The 10.1 inch Atom powered computer will feature a 1.66GHz processor, 1 GB of RAM and a bunch of solar cells built into the lid.

Charge your phone using a pot of boiling water

How many times have you been out camping, just enjoying the wilderness, when you realize that you really need to make a phone call? Sure, using technology might seem to defeat the purpose of �roughing it�, but having some sort of line back to the civilized world can be a good thing to have in an emergency. So if you’re out on a particularly long camping trip, how do you keep your phone charged? Solar power is an option, but…

Razorpit – sharpen your razor blades, save money and save the planet

Razorpit is a razor blade sharpener which apparently maintains the sharpness of your used blades by ‘removing excess oils…and other residues’. The blurb claims you’ll get up to 150 shaves with one blade, and it will even sharpen disposable shaver blades. More than 600 million dudes (and presumably dudettes as well) use razor blades which means a lot of blades in the trash, so if this Danish designed tool can really help cut down that number it’s got to be a…
