Is Nitrogen a Climate Savior?
National Science Foundation proved after a long study that nitrogen added to soil can make forests absorb more dioxide carbon. But even if nitrogen is one of the most abundant element in the atmosphere, it's still a pollutant and can have a dramatic influence on the planet's environment.
DIY: How to Build the Simplest Electric Motor in Your Kitchen (video)
Electric motors have simple designs, are easy to operate and have a great resistance to various environments. That's why they are to be chosen as alternative to internal combustion engines. This is a trivial experiment showing how you can feel you made a real electric motor yourself. Just for fun.
Study: Spraying Water In The Air Reduces Global Warming
New patent to reduce global temperature: inventor Ron Acer said that spraying ocean water in the air around deserts, major arid areas or windy places near to water will cool down the Earth temperature.
Leeds University: Melting Icebergs Could Stop Global Warming
Lead researcher Professor Rob Raiswell, from Leeds University, said: "The Earth itself seems to want to save us". He discovered a shocking truth: melting icebergs can trigger a reaction that naturally sinks the CO2 out of the atmosphere and create an equilibrium by feedback to the global warming and CO2 emissions.
James May from Top Gear Driving a Honda FCX Clarity Hydrogen Car
James May evaluated a Honda FCX Clarity, with a positive attitude towards its environmental purpose. We don't enter the discussion as of how eco-friendly is the making of FCX, or its price, because these are all going to change in a few years to accomodate to the markets.
Everything We do Emits Heat – Bad in the Long Run, or Not?
I don't know what to believe anymore, sometimes. We seem to run of global warming, we reduce pollution and try to "green" ourselves through electric cars, solar cells and wind mills, yet scientists (as if all this global warming mess is all on their football field) say there will still be global warming due to the heat our machines, as a whole, emit in the ecosystem.
Study: Salt Water Can Keep the Injected CO2 Underground
We are now trying to bury the CO2, get rid of it somehow, and if fossil fuels came from down below, we think that by sending CO2 from where it came, we will solve the problem partially. And that may be true, regarding that sometimes the patchy solutions are best. So, let's try to patch our trouble.
Video: 2011 Chevy Volt Test Drive
Here's a video we've been expecting for so long: a real image of a real car, expected by so many electric vehicle enthusiasts. Enjoy...
Vatican Started Installing Their New Solar Panels
The workers say that the newly installed solar panels will save about 200 tons of CO2 in just 2 weeks (the equivalent of 70 tons of oil). It's just nice. In fact, the Vatican is the only place I don't think these expensive things will get stolen. The project is estimated to about $1.5 million.
100 Year-Old Aerodynamics Problem Solved: Could Increase MPG Dramatically
MIT researchers discovered the solution to a problem put 100 years ago by Ludwig Prandtl. It refers to the situation when, for example, a car accelerates up and down a hill, then slows to follow a turn, and the airflow around it cannot keep up and separates from it. This aerodynamic phenomena creates an additional drag, slowing the car, and forcing you to push harder on the pedal, consuming more gas.
