We’re all trying to be a bit more green these days, I know I am. The Solar-Power Shower is a relatively affordable device that is the perfect accompaniment to any pool or beach house owner. Instead of delivering blistering cold showers after a dip in the water, its solar base can heat up to 8 liters of water to 140 degree F in just about 2 hours. With the plugged in hose, you can adjust the temperature to the perfect level and take comfort in knowing that you saved a few pennies. At $199, though, it will take you a many a summer to recoup your cost.

Now this might not be as ridiculous as it first sounds. This human washing machine could actually have some benficial uses. From homeless shelters to military outposts, showers and clean flesh are always hot topics of discussion when they are unavailable. Aptly titled, the Avant Santelubain 999 is sort of like a contained carwash that cleans the human with spraying soap and water and uses infrared lights for steam heat. Other features include audio and aroma therapy and seaweed wrap options. Say what now? That is yet to be explained but could it actually save water if the operation times were short? Sterilizing itself after each use, it still seems too expensive and bulky at this point to be incorporated at the places where it would be needed the most.
