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?
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".
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...
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.
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.
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.
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.
Ferrari has unveiled in 20th of January 2009 a solar system which was installed over the roof of the Engine Mechanical Machining facility in Maranello, Italy. The system has 1,075 solar modules from Mitsubishi Electric which provides 213,895 kWh of power per year. The module used is a 185 Wp Mitsubishi Electric. The peak power of the photovoltaic system is 198.85 kWp.
Instead of focusing on state-of-the-art, smiling and richly-tied burglars, federal prosecutors in Sheridan, Oregon have convicted a man for something he did (or did not do) during his study of cleaner and cheaper fuel cells.
The company IST Energy has developed a shipping container called Green Energy Machine (GEM) which can turn trash into electricity and heat. The machine is very useful for office parks, universities, hospitals and town municipality which could get their electricity from their own garbage disposal. A major factor is reduced costs from garbage disposal and as well reduced CO2 emissions from combustion. The machine does pollute as it's using a process called gasification but not as much as combustion.
