CO2-Capturing Molecule Discovered by Accident
Accidental discoveries have always been the most groundbreaking discoveries in the entire history of science, because magnificent things were found without us thinking of them, not taking the usual way to see things, and therefore unleashing new possibilities.
Australian Magnetic Motor Inventor Claims 440% Efficiency
Here's a Sky News Australia video about an inventor who claims he got to obtain overunity in something that resembles a magnetic motor at a first glance.
Solar Stirling Engine System Working in Colder and Darker Areas
Stirling engines become more and more used and promoted among alternative energy circles. The interesting fact with them is that they can be fueled by any source of heat, and the cleaner the source is, the better the stirling engine does to the environment.
Scientists Developing Artificial Leaves to Produce Energy
Mimicking nature has been man's dream since he tried inventing the airplane, and even earlier. Mimicking a leaf for obtaining energy from the Sun has been even more challenging than learning to fly, though, until now, nobody succeeded imitating the evolution or creation or whatever our nature is made of.
Arab Oil Company Acquires 4% of Tesla Motors
I don't want to cross the decent border of believing in a conspiracy theory, but when the oil business is threatened these days, it's normal that oil magnates wouldn't sit back and watch electric cars and alternative energy providers take their piece of meat from right in front of them.
Adding Lime in Seawater Could Reduce Atmospheric CO2
Some people check every possibility to reduce pollution, to make us live our lives in a clean and healthy environment. At a press conference about climate change solutions in Manchester, Tim Kruger, a former management consultant, announced that lime and salt water could stop or reverse CO2 accumulation in the atmosphere.
DIY: Rick's Cheap Solar Panel Installation Powers His Home
A lot of people want to be green in using energy but they don't know where to start, or they don't have enough money/time at their disposal to actually start making something useful.
Cheap Printable Batteries Designed for Low Consumption Applications
A team of researchers from Fraunhofer Research Institution for Electronic Nano Systems ENAS in Chemnitz and their colleagues from TU Chemnitz and Menippos GmbH have recently developed a printable battery which is environmentally friendly as it contains no mercury.
Water Desalination Plants Powered by Renewable Energy
Due to the freshwater crisis from places like Dubai and Australia, inventors around the world have started looking for ways to convert seawater and make it potable. Most of these desalination plants require a huge amount of energy, being powered from non-renewable sources.
Low-Cost Way to Convert Sugarcane Juice into Useful Fuel
The company Amyris Biotechnologies opened a plant in Campanis, Brazil, with a capacity of more than 10,000 gallons a year, to demonstrate large-scale production of hydrocarbons from sugarcane processed using its engineered microbes, which will convert sugarcane into conventional diesel fuel.
