Although Apple has been working on multiple data centers than run on clean energy, the overall percentage of Apple facilities running on green energy is not too high. And that is precisely why Apple has been criticized in the past for relying heavily on ‘dirty energy.’ Now, it would seem that the company plans to change this.
Ever wondered how your email goes from your computer to the other person to whom you intend to send it? The journey it takes is a rather long one and very interesting too. Google Green has now created a very interactive and fun ‘Story of the Send’ which goes on to show the journey of an email from the sender to the receiver.
Imagine, you’re traveling through the desert. You have drank the last drop of water from your water bottle but you are still thirsty. But you can’t find any water source around. How would you feel then? Helpless, may be! No matter what you feel like, finding fresh water in the desert is hard. Keeping that in mind, a French-based technology company is working in the United Arab Emirates (Abu Dhabi) to test a wind turbine which can produce drinking water from dry desert air. Though this is not a new concept but this concept is surely different from others and amazing.
Las Vegas is such a city where night turns into day. The whole city is filled with colorful lights. To lit up the lights at night continuously, huge amount of electricity is spent. To keep the pressure on traditional electricity low, a developer of large-scale solar power projects named SolarReserve announced earlier this year that it has completed the central piece in its Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project that can produce 110 megawatts of energy, and distribute the power among 75,000 homes.
An AA battery is a standard size of battery. Batteries of this size are the most commonly used type of in portable electronic devices. An AA battery is composed of a single electrochemical cell. The exact terminal voltage and capacity of an AA size battery depends on the cell chemistry. But the power of a battery is limited. Charles Reyer, a normal human being uses the same AA battery unlimited times. He just uses solar power to charge his batteries. Check out his technique.
Cree is such a company who is a market leader in LED chips, LED components, lighting products, power-switching and wireless-communications devices. It has been making different types of LED lights for commercial lighting and streetlights for many years. Recently, Cree has released a high design and ultra modern LED streetlights that lasts long and efficient in municipalities. The new Led light has all the features like ‘AeroBlades’ LED Streetlight.’
Intensive researchers around the world have always focused on improving the performance of solar photovoltaic cells and bringing down their cost. According to Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) researchers, because the cost of solar panels has dropped so much, it is the time designing 3D structures to take in more light and boost power output. Now, MIT researchers test show, building cubes or towers that extend the solar cells upward in 3 dimensional configurations can provide power output ranging from double to more than 20 times that of fixed flat panels with the same base area. In simple word, in a confined area, get double power through solar energy rather than using conventional method.
Are you looking for something to purify the indoor air of your home or office? If yes, then what are you planning to buy? Must be an Air Purifier machine which you have to set at your home or office. But, did you think, the purifier machine which purifies the non-purified air itself impure the air? Still interested in buying? Don’t worry. Now, you can purify air through Active Modular Phytoremediation (AMP) system. It’s cheap, Eco-friendly and it doesn’t impure air.
Can you remember, in school, may be we studied Ecology or some type of Ecosystem, 3 types of layer etc? According to the rules of Ecosystem in water, the smaller and weaker ones goes into the bigger and stronger ones. What a chain! But this chain system led some of the animals like fish to be extinct. Researchers at the Polytechnic Institute of New York University have made a fish alike robot, that can behave like an original fish and can save the existence of extinct fish.
Recently, Urban Green Energy (UGE) has announced to launch its versatile technology ‘Fusion.’ Fusion is new renewable wind and solar solution system that reduces operating costs for off-grid telecom towers and minimizes environmental footprint. In plain word, it will decrease the operating costs at off-grid telecom sites with upgraded technology. No doubt, this will reduce the dependency rate of telecom tower on diesel generators.
Another milestone was achieved in getting the earth greener and utilizing the best that nature has to offer man, the world’s largest offshore wind farm opened for business. The Walney wind farm is located off the coast of Cumbria in the UK and is now the world’s largest offshore wind facility. It has one hundred and two turbines spread over 73 sq km (28 sq miles) and provide a maximum output of 367.2 MW that can give power to around 320,000 homes. Now this is some facility that can give charge to that many numbers of residences, it is actually half as many as the total number in Cumbria.
Did anyone ever imagine, cars will get natural gas produced from fruit and vegetable waste? Some people might say, I’m talking nonsense. But my friends, truth is bitter and stranger than fiction. Researchers at Fraunhofer have developed a Pilot Plant that can make methane from fruit and vegetable wastage. This produced methane can be used to power vehicles. Sounds like, Strange!
Power can’t be destroyed neither can’t be created. Rather it can be transformed from one form to another. On the basic concept of this theory, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and RMIT University have made a breakthrough in energy storage and power generation. The power generated relative to the energy source size is 3 to 4 times greater than what is currently possible with the best lithium-ion batteries.
Green energy is coming back in the front line. Since when? Well since Google and the U.S. Department of Energy decided to fund a $43 million project that will bring 24 million gallons of water into the entrails of a dormant volcano in Oregon, with the intent of generating a powerful stream that one day may be used to power turbines. They in turn, will produce clean electricity.
So far we know that, Dinosaur era is over. There is no way, that they are coming back. But what if the Dinosaur is coming to our real world? Yes, the new era of Dinosaur is coming. This time they have decided, they will appear in front of us from Junk Yard.
