  • Abstract
    In this issue of New Products, the editors cover an energy source that provides power for emergency situations and a car that helps to train drivers to drive energy efficiently. They also examine a power strip that defeats so-called ´power vampires´ and a solar-powered robotic lawnmower. Finally, they persent a green search engine that returns only links to green companies.
