The energy harnessed by these blades is transferred to the battery plug-in that is provided at the bottom of each blade. This power supplying lawn is removable, so whenever there are major technological upgrades, you can always change the hardware in your system.
The CPU is made from plastics infused with Bio Batch additives. This material allows the plastic involved to decompose once you plan to finally let this system go after it has completed its life cycle.
This unique concept PC does not need any fan to cool its critical components. The natural air flow in between the lawn is enough to cool down the system. All you have to make sure is to place the system near a window or a vent, where it can get all the light and air it needs. Since the Lawn is removable it can also be used to power other electronic devices in your home such as your LCD TV.
Keeping in mind the green needs of the future, industrial designers are fast changing their mindset to machines that are efficient and reduce the user’s carbon footprint. Designer David Veldkamp is also on the same track that leads to greenery with his futuristic concept PC he calls the LawnPC.
This green machine creates all the power it needs from solar cells that have been embedded in the grass like lawn that sits on top of the PC. The green grass is actually made from natural cotton fabric, which carries inkjet printed solar cells. The use of natural cotton here makes these blades biodegradable. Hundreds of these blades generate all the power the system needs at the rate of about 60 Watts per hour.
