Regeneration: International Green Computing Design Competition


Dell’s first Regeneration: International Green Computing Design Competition encouraged designers to create a broad range of design concepts and innovations for technology products that demonstrate refreshed approaches and responsible solutions for green computing technologies. Vas Obeyesekere, IDSA, of Dallas, TX, stood out at the competition with his design of Evolve that won him a $25,000 prize. The Evolve is versatile `laptop/PC` designed to change over time and adapt to a variety of uses. It is made using material that is biodegradable, renewable and even reusable to a certain extent, battery is a LEES capacitor that does not require chemical reactions to produce energy. It has components that are modularized making it easier to upgrade individual parts minimizing waste. The Evolve also allows the user to expand the system to suit his or her own personal needs, hence reducing environmental impact, as it does not become outdated when the user needs a more sophisticated system, but can adapt accordingly.
