BMW's New 116D (Diesel) as Efficient as Today's Hybrids
German vehicle constructor BMW is trying to show us that it can produce not only fast, luxury and fuel-greedy vehicles, but also very fuel-efficient cars.
BMW's 1 series is offering the greenest diesel experience from BMW. The 2 liters four-cylinder diesel...
Very Efficient Vertical Wind Turbine Once Thought Impossible to Build
As wind industry claimed that vertical turbines are ineffective, inventor Adam Fuller developed a project to prove this theory wrong.
Severn Estuary Will Provide a Large Ammount of Electricity to UK
UK government recently made public a plan to start harvesting tidal energy in Severn Estuary were tides rise and fall twice a day up to 12 yards.
Stephen White's Solar Powered Air Conditioning System
During those hot summer days when you don't know what to do anymore (suppose you don't use the air conditioner), you're all sweat and packed with ice, didn't it ever come to your mind to use the outside heat, which is essentially energy, to cool down the room you're in?
Fusion-Fission Hybrid Reactor: Getting Rid of 99% Nuclear Waste Cleanly
The main problem with nuclear power is that it leaves radioactive residues behind; otherwise, it would be the almost perfect solution for our energetic and climate crises. The almost-perfect solution comes from the physicists at the University of Texas at Austin, who created a way to "use fusion to relatively inexpensively destroy the waste from nuclear fission".
Plastic Solar Cells: Your Next Gadget’s Cheap Power Source
Portable electronic devices have from now on a new technology invented for making the battery life longer or making them to work completely on solar energy.
The plastic solar cells with eight square inches in size...
New Catalyst Makes Ethanol Fuel Cells Feasible at Room Temperatures
I don't know the solution to the perfect energy equation, but as long as we're producing CO2 it's not the final one. Anyway, until a new and better method is found to be feasible enough, this is a good one, too.
Shelby Ultimate Aero EV: World's Fastest EV Uses 10-Minutes Charging Battery
Abu Dhabi International Motor Show had seen a shocking surprise by Shelby Super Cars manufacturer. Shelby wanted to announce a version of it's Ultimate Aero which was just presented at this show.
Aluminum Producing Hydrogen from Water – Almost Free Energy!
Penn State University scientists and the Virginia Commonwealth University have found something that is the ultimate dream and hope of alternative energy researchers: use water as a fuel. Their findings show that water can be split into its two constituents, hydrogen and oxygen, at room temperature and without any external energy addition.
Whiskey Industry Products to Fuel Power Plant
Helius Energy plc and The Combination of Rothes Distillers Limited (CoRD) are planning to change the fuel for the power plant in Speyside, Scotland. The interesting thing is that they will change the "traditional" fuel to products resulted from whiskey producing process, in order to reduce the carbon emissions.
