Two of the finalists in this Thursday’s Greener Gadgets Design Competition that I’ve featured thus far — Rocco, the Energy Pal (a kinetic energy-generating rocking horse for kids made from recycled plastic) and the Automan 500 Subwoofer (a speaker cabinet/ottoman for adults made from recycled car tires) — boast a certain eco-aesthetic appeal: They’re both tech-y, cool looking, and made from recycled materials.
Today I’m highlighting an entrant, the Smart Grid Home Controller from Philadelphia-based BuLogics, that has zero design-y elements (it’s a green gadget through and through) but serves quite an impressive purpose: the seamless integration of emerging smart grid technology with wireless technology.
