Energy Blinds to power your fans, lights!

Did you ever think those blinds covering your windows could produce energy? Well, most of us won’t think like that. But then, most of us are not celebrated as design revolutionaries. One such revolutionary is designer Go jin gwon – the mind behind Energy Blinds from IIDA.

The concept: The inspiration for these energy producing blinds comes from the observation - they are exposed to sunlight for longer periods of time, hence they can work as solar heat generators and produce green energy. Bingo!

Green features: Just Imagine! Without shelling out a penny, without producing any pollution and without harming the environment, something as common as your home décor idea to block sunlight – a blind - can be a great source of electricity to just anything - from charging your cell phones to turning fans! That's not all, the enrgy produced can be used immediately and can also be stored for later usage. Isn’t that great?

What more? They are specially designed to facilitate quick connection with fans and tube lights as they feature a vertical hole for the electric plugs.

If you are already kicked-up to get a set of Energy Blinds for yourself...you'll have to wait, for there's no mention of the price and availability.
