Robotic Fish Detecting Water Pollution
A team of researchers at the University of Essex has received European funds worth 2.5 million pounds to complete a project to construct a robotic fish shaped like Carp able to monitor the pollution from ports.
Google Releases Free Energy Monitoring Software
Google announced free software that allows users to monitor their home electricity use and mitigate the effects of global warming, without paying anything extra for the effort.
Throwing Chemicals Into The Air – Solution to Global Warming?
Certain bright minds say we should throw trillions of mirrors into space to slow global warming. It doesn't seem like a bad idea at a first glance, but other enlightened thoughts say we should release chemicals into the air to do just that.
EV Innovations Brings Liv Inizio Electric Super Car to Market
With similar specifications as the Tesla Roadster, Liv Inizio is an electric sports car made by EV Innovations formerly known as Hybrid Technologies.
New Supercapacitor Can Give 1MW/kg/sec of Electricity
If we pursue the road towards the full electric car, we must find ourselves the energy storage that can bear at least the power of gasoline. As far as today, batteries, supercapacitors and hydrogen have been the ways to follow for powering an electric car. Of the three, the supercapacitors have a great advantage: they can charge and discharge very quickly, giving instant torque to the electric car's motor.
BMW Develops Hydrogen Powered ICE Based on Diesel Technology
It's a known fact that diesel engines are more efficient than the gasoline ones, and that is because they work a little differently on the ignition side. Diesel engines compress the fuel to a point where it heats and explodes, a process known as self-ignition. On the other hand, diesel engines are still polluting the atmosphere.
Cleantech`s Water Purifier Using Basic Physics Principle
Water purification is not a myth anymore. It can become the reality we've always dreamed of and this with low costs.
New Solar Powered Polymer Makes Self-Healing Plastics
We normally use solar power to juice things up, and to create pollution-free electricity. Normally, we wouldn't think of anything else when it comes to energy usage, recycling, but scientists prove us there's much more to do with sunlight. Even recycling... in a way.
Thermochemical System Combines Production of Ethanol and Thermal Energy
Iowa State University started a new project of developing a thermochemical system that combines production of ethanol and thermal energy. With a low-emission burner and a new catalyst for ethanol production, the technologies use synthesis gas produced from discarded seed corn, switch-grass, wood chips and other biomass.
"Oyster" Device Harnessing Near Shore Wave Power
The Oyster is basically a steel oscillating wave surge converter. It is fitted with double-direction water pistons, deployed near-shore at depths of 10 to 12m. As waves activate it, the pump delivers high pressure water through a sub-sea pipeline straight to the shore, as seen in the picture above.
