My eneloop
I bought eneloop with digital camera, and I am surprised about the power of them. They have almost no discharge, so I can use it anytime. They are filled up by four hours charging. Digital camera consumes a lot of energy for their driving, and I can not keep it without eneloop. Eneloop runs out by three or four days using of digital camera. If I bought dry cells whenever I want, it would be waste of money, and it would increase garbage. This invention is good for both our wallet and the earth.
The left picture is my eneloop. The simple design is very good. I bought eneloop in a set of four with the charger. The price was about 3,000yen in Amazon. Right is the charger. It's also simple. The cover is a consideration not to mar the beauty of aspect. It's recommendable product for everyone.

They focused on equipments like a digital camera to stop driving when the discharging voltage falls even if their capacity still remains. It became more efficient by raising the voltage. The life span was also improved to charge 1,000 times. They realized the capacity of 2,000 milli-ampere hour. That is same as the high capacity alkali dry cell. The price is 1,155yen with tax.
They considered how to sell the batteries having some additional values. Some members, who worked for design, business, advertisement, joined with the technical members, and they elaborated the project.
In last November, eneloop wrapped with the Gaea-blue package was on sell, and the inquiries rushed. The sales of the cells in the next three months recorded 2.4 times of last year.
"Not only men, being familiar with the techniques or mechanics, but also women takes them with interest." "It was worth while straining with everyone." Mr.Tadokoro smiled.

"Reducing disposable waste, being tender for the earth." The consideration of the developers is in the simple design unlike dry cells. Sanyo boosts the sales of dry cells, accompanying by the sales of digital camera or other digital equipments, and they are the top of this realm; however, the proportion of chargable dry cells in Japanese dry cell's market is only 1%.
"Why usual dry cells is popular rather than the chargable." Mr.Tadokoro, a technical manager of Sanyo Enagy Twicer, had considered for twenty years. On the basis of online questionnaire, they started to develop chargable dry cells which was used soon after buying, or after leaving them for a long time.
Chargables is more apt to discharge than usual dry cells for the reason of the mechanics. The capacity used to be 0% one year later from last charging. Converting the alloys or composition in the electrolyte liquid, it was improved to keep 85% electricity one year later, 75% two year later.

Red sky
I could see such beautiful red sky today. When I was on the way to my university, I noticed that the far of the sky radiated soft red light. I thought there must be the wonderful scenery on high place, and I sought such place around my neighborhood. The picture was taken in a square of my town. The gradation was really beautiful. I might be able to be a professional photographer, not a cameraman. Cameraman seems to be used only to a TV cameraman. I learned it now.
My grandmother had given me some rice cakes. I had no rice for dinner, so I took them out from refrigerator. I ate them with soybean flour. It was very good. I love rice cakes all year around, not only New Year's Day.
Wii
Nintendo presented that they renamed their new videogame machine Wii. Once it had been called Revolution as the development cord. To emphasize that the machine is for all people, they selected the name Wii that has the same pronunciation with "we". Mr.Perin, official reporter of Nintendo, mentioned that Revolution indicated that their direction, but Wii represents the answer. Nintendo, spread their name with portable game machine Gameboy, sights the expansion of share in the videogame market where Sony dominates in scale of 25 billon dollars.

Nintendo is a challenger. I am always surprised by the creativity of Nintendo. They must produce the new machine which other companies never conceive, as no one came up with the machine which is writable on the display.
