Have you ever wanted to do your part to save the planet but just didn’t know where to start? Well good. Because we just started it for you.

One More Gadget checked out a great new invention from Sauer Energy that helps you save energy and money. And let me tell you, it’s definitely easy to be green with one of these residential Vertical-Axis Wind Turbines!

Every month the cost of energy goes up. And we all know it won’t be getting cheaper any time soon. So if you are looking for some reliable alternatives, this just might be the answer to save some dollars off your monthly bill. And on the bright side you’ll have some left over cash to spend it on something else…like more gadgets for example!

The Goods

1. It’s green. Really green. The first benefit is the obvious one, these residential wind turbines can generate electricity for only 6 to 8.5 cents per kilowatt-hour. That’s practically what we pay our interns.

2. On a larger scale, if everyone used wind power, it would impact the environment equivalent to taking 2/3 of the vehicles off the road and actually preserve water power and free up more than 450 billion gallons of water per year. That’s basically like the size of an Olympic pool! Okay, it’s actually bigger. Like a lot bigger.

3. Unlike the traditional fan shaped turbines, this VAWT (vertical-axis wind turbine) is uniquely designed so there is no noise pollution, no dangerous sharp blades, works with wind from any direction and to top it off only takes a 5mph wind to get it going. What a breeze.

4. It saves you money. And that’s just the bonus part because what it’s really saving is the earth.

Overall, the new design of wind turbine makes sense. And cents. Personally I think every home should have a good alternative source of energy to reduce the monthly bill and save the environment. And I’ve come to the conclusion that a hundred hamsters in a generator wheel just isn’t viable. They probably wouldn’t all run in the same direction. So these wind turbines are the best idea, and there’s even a little spot on the top where you can stick your rooster.

How to pick your nose at parties

Published by OneMoreGadget June 27th, 2011 in Gadget and Kitchen.

If you’re anything like me you’ll think these party cups are awesome possum! The bees knees so to speak. The cats meow if you please.

You get the idea.

Now you can drink your favorite beverages and look like a crazy party animal when you throw one back. So with this in mind, I’ve put together a handy little guide on how to choose which animal snout is right for you:

• If you are the type to get tipsy and heaver, you should probably pick the beaver.

• But if you’re in it to win it and don’t plan on going home alone, I definitely recommend the Tucan. Because really, I can, you can? Tucan.

• If you’re the type of person to blend in with your surroundings, your best bet is the Chameleon cup. Hide out in the corner by the pile of jackets while you’re at it. No one will notice you, plus you might pick up some loose change.

• If you are self professed apple geek, you probably should pick the leopard. But don’t try picking up ladies by talking about how OS X.5.1 upgrade slowed down your desktop. Just because you have the cup to match – doesn’t make it cool.

• If it’s a poker party, definitely use the shark, but if it’s not a poker party, never use the shark. The only type of people that use the shark are people that wear white sunglasses and we all know that means you are a douche-bag.

But anyway, whatever you choose to be, each awesome package comes with 6 different animals and 24 cups in total. It’s basically an animal farm in each package! And right now, these bad boys are on sale! Saweeet! {Buy It}

Most reviews are telling people to flush the iPhone 4 down the toilet. And just in case you did. You may need a life-sized plunger to bring it back. But if you rather, just to use this gadget. It’s the iPlunge. A cute little plunger that you can stick to the back of your iphone to prop it up. What’s that smell? It’s the smell of genius.

Not only is this gadget useful for the iPhone, it’s also an essential new tool for performing the Heimlich Maneuver and cleaning out really really small toilets. And probably in that order.

If you’ve never heard of Veebeam before, it’s officially the most affordable way to stream HD video from your PC straight to your HD Television. It’s also the easiest, which makes me happy because it saves a lot of time and stress. And less time worrying about how to get it working and more time watching movies is a good thing. I like it.

We checked out the Veebeam HD and did some research so we could share it with you. The biggest difference between the Veebeam and the AppleTV is the price. SD starts at $99 and HD is just $149. It also streams FULL 1080p and not 720p like the Apple TV, so the quality is fandiddlytastic. (Coupon Code Below!)

What does it do?

The Veebeam streams all your video from your PC Laptop or Apple computer and it even lets you use popular movie applications like YouTube, NetFlix, ESPN360 and plays everything you have in iTunes.

How does It work?

The Veebeam is simple. It comes with a USB antenna to plug into your computer or laptop and it wirelessly connects to the station that’s plugged into your TV.
