    SunDanzer make a few low energy refrigerators and freezers as well as some more wacky refrigeration stuff. They make the DDR165 which can be hooked directly to a solar panel bypassing the need for batteries and other equipment. Very cool. Around $1000.

    Company selling solar stuff. Ranks well on search, heavy on marketing a little light on technical information. They have some seemingly good deals. Sent tech question, auto responder, we cannot help, try online. BASTARDS

    Hand well pumps. Can be motor driven with a small DC motor. Great for wells, they need depth. Pump can supply head pressure but cannot pull water uphill.

    A Guatemalan NGO that build all kinds of whacky devices from bicycles including water pumps, blenders, nut shellers, mill / corn threshers. Incredible stuff.
  6. http://www.instructables.com/id/How-to-create-a-human-powered-bike-blender-for-les/
    Step by step instructions on how to create a simple bike powered blender. Instructions are really simple, make a little wheel that contacts the tyre with a long bolt that goes into the base of the blender and replaces the motor. Simple and easy. :-)

    Old fashioned, off-grid or at least off-electric appliances and other tools for Amish and other households. Gas refrigeration and other really cool stuff, although expensive.
