This is fantastic and there are so many applications!! I love this whole green revolution that seems to be occuring. I hope the innovation keeps on coming! Sainsbury’s market of England has installed ‘kinetic energy’ plates in the parking lot of it’s store in Gloucester. The plates are an experiment with a newer energy producing [...]
It’s coming. Slowly but surely, alternative fuels are coming to the biomasses. I’m figuring in about 20 years, we’ll have a significant portion of our daily fuel (gasoline and diesel) combined with biofuels. A tiny microbe found in the Chesapeake Bay is the focus of intense study for a biotech startup in College Park, MD. [...]
Justin Graham of the Windows Server Team announces Windows Server 2008 SP2 release candidates. Hello everyone, Justin Graham here again! We’ve been hard at work here in Redmond on Service Pack 2 (SP2) for Windows Vista and Windows Server 2008. I’m happy to share today the Release Candidate (RC) of SP2 is available to MSDN [...]
I love reading stuff like this. Solar technology has made such strides in the last few years and it’s just accelerating. I am excited by President Obama’s initiatives to repair and improve the national electrical transmission grid. With that fixed, solar electricity farms can be created using cool technology like the Light Guide Solar Optic [...]
Makes those mylar balloons at the grocery store look like punks. There are many new forms of alternative energy but maybe none as interesting as the Cool Earth Solar “Balloon.” The concept behind this design is that they create an “inflatable plastic thin-film balloon (solar concentrator) that, upon inflation, focuses sunlight onto a photovoltaic cell [...]
I personally think that the path of capturing kinetic energy from daily operations is very exciting. I posted today about the hamsters and now this about the shock absorbers in cars. It’s exciting to see how much energy can be harvested from the parts that are already moving on our cars. Now the trick will [...]
It would seem that some researchers over at Georgia Tech have pulled the hamsters out of their assespulled the hamsters out of their asses and put them to more creative use…generating electricity. Read on… In a paper published online this week in the journal Nano Letters, Wang’s group describes using the nanogenerator to harvest different [...]
