Car designers Jaap Van Der Voort, Tiemen Stelwagen, Janne Leppänen, Roope Kolu and Tuulia Miettinen have designed a zero-emission concept car that can run on any type of road, including on water.
Florida's needs of electricity have made scientists think about never energy solutions. The needs of 4-7 million homes are so big that conventional energy would be too expensive and pollutant to still be used.
It is true that we have the world's largest rooftop solar array, being an important step for our future but the problem is that all that energy is no good until we possess the world's largest battery bank as well.
Shelby SuperCars, the makers of the â€Ã…“World's Fastest Supercar†the Ultimate Aero, have announced their plans to produce the world's â€Ã…“fastest EV†this summer, with the development of a hybrid motorhome.
Geothermal energy has a lot of potential worldwide. As it is not dependent on many factors, geothermal energy could be the cleanest power source of near future. Two scientists from University of Oviedo, Spain, have concluded that geothermal energy could be provided by mine shafts.
Glycerin in its pure form is used to manufacture soap, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals and many other products, but the crude glycerin is an impure form that is unsuitable for these products. But what if we could use it putting back biodiesel in its correct position of green alternative power source?
Israeli start-up ETV Motors, located in Tel Aviv has invested about $12 million in this technology that combines a car, electricity and a jet engine. The prototype of a modified Prius will be ready next year for testing.
Africa's most ambitious project of renewable energy will be the installation of 365 giant wind turbines around Lake Turkana in northern Kenya. The project will be completed in 2012, when the £533m project will have a capacity of 300MW, a quarter of country's current capacity.
Last year, we reported in an article how scientists discovered that the moth's eyes could increase the efficiency of solar cells. Thanks to the super-transparent coatings, windows in homes and cars, computer screens and other consumer products could be improved. Now, new figures show the advances in this nature-mimicking technology.
Analyzing stability of hawks' wings during high turbulent winds, danish scientists have come up with an idea to further develop turbine blades. The idea will be implemented in such a way so to reduce the impact of strong wings on the blades.
