\nNot so long ago, we came across the solar powered Carousel at Hudson River Park\u2019s Chelsea Cove<\/a>. Here\u2019s yet another joy ride powered by energy from the sun using GE\u2019s ecomagination technology. Located at the 3rd Street and Congress Avenue in Austin, Texas, this carousel is a blast from the past with a generous layer of photovoltaic cells and solar technology. Hop on to one of the horses or plug in you iPad or mobile phone for a solar powered charge. Using thin film panels, the Carousel gets all its eye-catching appeal with GE\u2019s TETRA Countour LED lights. Also, this one isn\u2019t half as noisy as the Carousels we\u2019re all so reminiscent about. Using an electric motor that\u2019s silent as a mouse, the system also uses GE\u2019s inverters.<\/p>\n
