Solar Powered Automatic Gate
Most automatic gates try to open the gate using leverage at the hinged end of the gate, which requires a lot of power. This new gate opener uses a wheel-mounted unit to pull the gate open from the other opposite end. Solar energy provides plenty of power, with no need for outside electricity.
  A 75-watt solar panel charges a battery mounted inside a box attached to the wheel. The battery operates an electric motor, which drives the wheel. A remote control is used to open and close the gate.
  Sells for $3,500.
