Sharp's Zero-CO2 Eco House Experiment Ready This Month
Sharp Corporation began the construction of a zero-carbon "eco house" that will be finished by the end of this month. By building this "eco-friendly house," the company hopes to contribute to a comfortable living environment and to minimize power consumption.
Scientists Discover Nano-Scale Superconducting Material
Researchers from the Bar-Ilan University in Israel, collaborating with the Brookhaven National Laboratory in the U.S. have designed superconducting thin films patterned with large arrays of nanowires and loops. The temperature at which they superconduct is pretty low and hard to get for the moment - only 30 °K (-243°C). Magnetic fields have proved themselves to change the material's electrical resistance in an unexpected manner.
Save 40% of Water Heating Costs with EcoDrain
The idea behind this energy gadget is simple: every time you take a shower, or wash your hands and, generally, use hot water, you waste a lot of energy down the drain in the form of hot water. That energy is really a big waste, because a lot of energy is put into heating that water.
Project ARA: Google’s New DIY Mobile Phone Could Cut Down E-Waste
Earlier this week, Google finally gave details on their latest invention during an event held in San Francisco. Under the project called "Project Ara",...

2 Reasons Why White Cars Are Environmentally-Friendlier Than Black Cars
Today I realized something I already knew, but didn't pay importance to: black cars drink more fuel than lighter-colored ones, and this is something...
Your Home`s Excess Heat Could Get Recovered by New Cheap Machine
This article doesn't talk about huge producers of energy, or doesn't mention the use of any prime matter to create energy, but instead it focuses on recycled one. Ener-G-Rotors, a company based in Schenectady, NY, is developing a heat recycler that can work with lower quantities of heat, under 150°C, unlike those of the competitors, aimed only to the higher-class, industrial energy producing stations.
New Electric Field Device Reduces Car Fuel Consumption by 20%
Professor Rongija Tao, from Temple University, invented a device that, applied to the vehicle's fuel line, near the injectors, creates an electric field that reduces the fuel's viscosity, so that smaller droplets are injected into the engine, leading to better combustion and increased fuel efficiency as much as 20%.
‘Cold Pot’: A Bio Air Conditioner That Cools Down Air Using Only Water
Ever since IPCC released their report last week, warnings for rising temperatures and urges to switch to efficient and renewable energy sources, have flooded...
