The GoSun Stove Cooks With Just The Power Of The Sun Fire is for prehistoric man. The modern man uses the sustainable and renewable energy of solar power to cook meats an veggies – like the GoSun Stove. The stove is clever. It uses a unique design that directs sunlight towards a cylinder, which the company says can heat up to 550 degrees in some models in 10 to 20 minutes. The food cooks inside a solar evacuated tube that absorbs more than 80% of the sunlight reflected onto the tube. The design captures light from a broad range of angles, allowing the GoSun to keep on cooking while the sun moves across the sky. The stove is efficient enough to even work in the winter. And if clouds cover up the sun, the GoSun Stove stays warm enough to even continue cooking food.  This model is much larger than the Sport and can even cook whole chickens or bake a cake. There’s a model that features a USB recharger that harvests energy from the stove’s heat to recharge electr...

The Science Behind the Samsung Galaxy Note 7's Battery Fires  The Samsung Galaxy Note 7 is suffering the same fate as countless hoverboards — there are reports that some phones have been bursting into flames, prompting Samsung is issue a recall and the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration to strongly discourage passengers from carrying the device on planes, news sources report. Why is this smartphone such a fire hazard? The answer has to do with its lithium-ion battery , a common power source that isn't just used in cellphones but also in computers, power tools and toys.  Well-made electronics have safety measures built into their lithium-ion batteries, but faulty ones with poorly made electric circuitry can meet with fiery ends. For instance, faulty batteries can be overcharged. Well-made batteries will stop charging automatically once they're full, but that's not always the case for faulty batteries. If left plugged in for too long, the lithium ...

Asthma Inhaler Shrinks to Credit Card Size in New Design People suffering from asthma may soon have a sleek alternative to traditional — and bulky — inhalers. The Bloom Inhaler fits in the palm of your hand, and is approximately the size and shape of a credit card. Asthma medication is delivered through a tiny nozzle that flips into place atop a circular hole in the top half of the device; users place their mouths over the hole to administer a dose of medicine, just as they would when using a traditional inhaler's mouthpiece. Any standard inhaler canister can be used to fill Bloom, the product website said. The device holds six doses, each dispensed with the push of a trigger, and can be refilled an infinite number of times. The flat, steel inhaler fits easily inside a wallet, and its trim design allows users to carry and use the device discreetly, unlike bulkier models that can be awkward to carry.  Bloom's creator, James Cazzoli, is a mechanical engin...

The iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus, Reviewed Apple's latest iPhone 7 and iPhone 7 Plus look a tad familiar, yet they pack a host of novelties underneath their glass/metal bodies. Those include waterproof construction that's a first for an iPhone, stereo speakers, an all-new home button (which is not a button), and lack of standard audio jack. The last one is a rather controversial bit that, even though long-rumored, is bound to shape the personal audio industry going forward due to the overwhelming popularity of the iPhone.   Both iPhones will capture much better photos than any of their predecessors, courtesy of improved cameras. The iPhone 7 Plus takes everything up a notch by packing a second camera with a telephoto lens that sets it apart from any of its competitors.  The storage options are another crucial and welcome change made by Apple in the ninth iPhone iteration. Gone are the 16GB and 64GB memory variants, with the 32GB and 128GB taking their place...
