Innovative Wind Turbine Generates Clean Water From Desert Air
A French based technology company is working in the UAE (Abu Dhabi) to test a wind turbine which can produce drinking water from dry desert air.
Large Solar Tower To Power Las Vegas
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.
Recharge Batteries Using Solar Lights : No Electricity Required!
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.
Finned LED Streetlights : Long Lasting And Efficient LED Lights In A Flashy Look
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.’
Accordion Shaped Innovative 3D Designed Solar Tower Doubles The Solar Power
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.
Giant Vertical Flower Pot Purifies Air
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.
A Robot Fish : Becoming The Leader Of The Real Fish
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.
Urban Green Energy Brings Fusion – The Ultimate Cleantech Solution For Telecom Applications
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.
Walney Wind Farm Is The World’s Largest Offshore Wind Farm
Walney wind farm is the world's largest offshore wind farm that opened recently in the UK. It is also one of the fastest wind farm construction claimed by DONG.
Natural Gas Being Produced For Car From Fruit And Vegetable Waste
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!
Researchers Found New Power Source
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.
Google To Fund A Volcano Power Project In Oregon
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.
Terrifying Dinosaurs Are Coming Back From Junk Yard
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.
New Battery By IBM Allows 500 Miles In One Recharge For Electric Vehicles
Electric vehicles have been around for some time. But a major drawback of these vehicles is that they can’t operate much long without recharging. As a result, an EV can be taken on a short trip but you can’t take a long trip on it as there are no public EV charging stations. However, IBM’s new EV battery may solve this problem. This new battery will enable EV to go on a 500-mile journey without requiring another recharge. This will surely help EVs get more mainstream.
A Recent Discovery Could Double Solar Panels’ Efficiency
According to Xiaoyang Zhu, professor of chemistry conducting research studies on the mechanisms of solar energy conversion at the University of Texas at Austin, the efficiency of solar cells could increase significantly. Zhu and his colleagues found a way to double the number of electrons harvested from one solar photon simply by using organic plastic.
