Sub-Nano Platinum Particles Make Fuel Cells 13 Times Better
Nano-sized machinery makes me shiver. Thinking at a molecular and atomic level when speaking about technology makes me wonder even more. Even if I consider myself a logic person, extremely small and extremely large objects impress me.
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.
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.
Yahoo Will Build the Most Green and Efficient Data Center
Yahoo is going green! This news was presented at a press conference in Buffalo, New York, by Yahoo representatives a few days ago. In a world where everybody needs to turn green and needs to make use of as much as possible clean energy sources, Yahoo is making a big step.
Hydrogen Easier to Extract from Urine Than from Water
I know - it sounds gross, but obtaining hydrogen from urea is actually cheaper than obtaining it from water, through the same electrolysis process. The study is being led by Gerardine Botte of Ohio University and it all started from an idea to recycle the wastewater.
SunCatcher's Stirling-Engine Based Solar Concentrators to Start in 2010
Tessera Solar and Stirling Energy Systems (SES) have unveiled new designs of their SunCatcher system at Sandia National Laboratories' National Solar Thermal Test Facility (NSTTF).
World's First Aircraft Powered Entirely by Hydrogen Fuel Cells
A team of German engineers has unveiled the world's first aircraft powered entirely by hydrogen fuel cells.
