Please clcik play to see Graham Smith on Spanish TV demonstrating the Solar Powered Vending Machine.
SMITH BENCH - Graham Smith has now perfected (Patent Protected) his latest light box which uses just 10 Watts of power to provide light through a clear honeycomb array to disperse the illumination evenly across a large area. Using Solar Power, a regulator and a battery this new concept provides perfect lighting for our Solar Powered Advertising Bench which is made of recycled plastic. This is the only 0 Carbon Footprint advertising medium available and many large companies are using or in discussions with GRAYhatch about using it.
GRAYhatch Inventors are commited to creating Environment Saving Products which we
all use in everyday life. The UK Government Body for Water Saving - Waterwise has
teamed up with us to promote sensible use of water incorporating our Patented Products.

Quotation from Sainsburys
“Save the world while brushing your teeth ” Most people leave the tap running whilst brushing their teeth. This wastes up to 9 litres of Water a minute or 26,000 litres of water per family, per year.
This means your street alone could fill an Olympic size swimming pool each year. Which wastes huge amounts of water and is a bit stupid – it’s like having the toilet flush the whole time you’re on it.
“I have been using the (GRAYhatch Water Filled) toothbrush for a couple of weeks and I quite like it. I do find that I turn off the tap after I have filled it and that is good. “
Every time someone drives a car with badly worn tyres, they are subjecting themselves and other road users to increased risk of an accident and injury, possibly even death, from not being able to stop within a safe distance, not being able to control the car properly in wet conditions or simply from the increased risk of a blow out or puncture whilst driving because of a badly worn tyre. In addition to this, the driver risks being fined and given penalty points on their driving license if stopped by the police and found to have a worn tyre or tyres that have a tread depth less than the legal limit of 1.6mm for cars or 1.0mm for motorcycles.
It is also a proven fact that badly worn tyres can cause additional drag and friction between the road and the car which in turn leads to increased fuel consumption and increased CO2 emissions.
Another fact is that one of the most common causes of MOT failure is because of badly worn tyres. The GRAYhatch Permanent Tyre Depth Gauge or Green Gauge is a simple and easy to fit design that enables the driver to easily visually check the wear of his car tyres without the need of having to use a separate measuring device. The Green Gauge indicates to the drive that he is Good to Go, the tyre is just legal and needs changing, or the tyre is illegal, dangerous and needs changing.

By installing two Green Gauges, one on each side of the tyre, the driver can easily check the tyre wear without having to move the car.
Motorists are failing to check the condition of their tyres, which could have fatal consequences, Although tyres are critical for the safety of all road users, many motorists are in breach of, and, oblivious to, the legal 1.6mm tread depth requirement. Many may have tyres classified as severely worn or damaged. With a maximum fine of £2,500 per tyre with discretionary disqualification including three penalty points, motorists could be in for a nasty shock, if caught driving with illegal tyres.
Continuing to drive on a severely worn tyre or tyres can lead to serious control, braking and drivability issues. The tyres are the only contact with the road and if they do not work together to grip the road securely, the driver’s ability to control the vehicle can be impaired.
Hydroplaning starts sooner.
The faster you drive, the greater the risk of hydroplaning, since higher speeds allow less time for water to escape through the tread grooves. Shallower tread worsens that situation by allowing more water to stay beneath the tyre. Half-tread tyres begin to skim over the water's surface at as slow as 40 mph in hydroplane testing, about 3 to 4 mph slower than the full-tread tyres. That’s nearly 8 percent drop in hydroplaning resistance compared with the same model tyres when new.
The Green Gauge is manufactured from extruded rubber, basically the same material used in tyre manufacture, and the glue provided is specifically for bonding rubber products.
