SALt Lamp Provides Light Using Only a Glass of Salt Water

Mila Luleva — Tue, 28 Jul 2015 20:00:13 +0000

SALt LED lamp can provide light in the most remote places using only a glass of salt water. In many parts of the world, the most simplest of gadgets can make the biggest difference. Projects, such as the WakaWaka lights, and the similar initiatives in Haiti are already providing more than enough evidence for that. […]

Analysis on Pressure-Retarded Osmosis Reveals High Energy Generation Potential

Guest Contributor — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 08:59:33 +0000

River mouths have recently been reported to have the capacity to produce renewable electricity that could support over half a billion people. A river mouth is where a river drains into the ocean. At that point there is a process termed as pressure-retarded osmosis (PRO) that takes place. According to the new analysis, the pressure-retarded […]

As the world's potable water resources thin each year, scientists strive to decypher ways to use the immense amounts of water that abound the oceans and seas, and to make them drinkable. All that desalination process consumes energy resources, and that makes water more expensive to produce and drink in some parts of the world.

63-year-old John Kanzius was looking to destroy cancer cells when he stumbled upon an effect that split salt water and released oxygen and hydrogen. His invention was tested at a local lab and uses radio frequencies to do this. Check this video out: An accidental discovery of salt water fuel while doing cancer research
