A Desert Turning Into ‘Green’ In Qatar
You might have read my other articles like scientists turning air into petrol, machine for filtering toilet water into drinking water etc. And today I am going to represent another amazing article like these two, briefed below, for you. There are many deserts in this world, and among them one desert in Qatar is going to be turned ‘green’. This means this desert is going to have life.
Uprise Energy Developing Portable Wind Turbine
The wind turbines we see around us are permanently built into the ground. But the Portable Power Center (PPC) by Uprise Energy is trying to develop an adaptable and portable Wind Turbine along with power solution that can fold itself and fit inside a standard shipping container and be pulled by truck.
Mando Unveils The World’s First Chainless Folding Electric Bike
Folding bicycles are not a novelty and have been around for quite a while. However, a folding electric bike is definitely something very novel. Mando’s ‘Footloose’ is a first in this arena, doubling as both an electric bike as well as a normal bicycle which you could pedal. Moreover, it neatly folds over so that you can easily carry it around.
Helium Reserve Declining, Scientists Warn Against Wasting Helium In Balloons
Flying balloons are filled with Helium, the second lightest chemical element in the Universe. But the irony is there is a global shortage of helium gas in the world. Knowing the fact, still gas balloons are found. Scientists have realized that we should try not to waste Helium in unimportant things. Otherwise, in future we as well as next generation will be in big trouble. Hence scientists have spoken out against wasting Helium in balloons.

Build A Recyclable ‘Mini House’ In 48 Hours! [Photo Gallery]
It takes at least a month to build the world’s thinnest house (47-inch wide). But, if you still think, a month is a long time to build a house, then it’s possible to build a gorgeous recyclable mini house in less short time than one month. Yeap! It’s true. You can build a recyclable “Mini House” in 48 hours. See the details and photo gallery with 18 stunning photos.
Apple Almost Finished Working On Its Gigantic Solar Farm
Apple got the permission from the North Carolina Utilities Commission to build a 20-megawatt solar photovoltaic electric generating farm at 6028 Startown Road, Maiden, North Carolina. The company’s target is to complete the solar farm before November 2012 and run it by December 21, 2012. According to the video clips of the ongoing solar farm captured by WCNC-TV, it seems that the work is nearly complete.
Report Says Wind Alone May Supply The Entire World’s Total Power Demand
Recently, researchers at the University of Delaware and Stanford University’s School of Engineering have created a model to determine just how much energy could be harvested with wind turbines at multiple elevations. They revealed a report on Monday, September 10, that there is enough energy available in winds to meet all of the world’s demand.
Generate Electricity From Salt Water Using This LED Lantern
Japanese company Green House Co. Ltd. has designed a LED lantern that needs no battery to run; rather it needs purely salt water. It generates electricity from salt water. This specially developed LED lantern is called GH-LED 10WBW.
Robots To Reduce Cost Of Solar Energy Production
While the entire world especially U.S. is busy in adopting solar tech in order to keep the pressure off traditional electricity sources, at that time, why robots which is entering almost every sector should be lagged behind in this sector? California based startup QBotix Inc. has come up with a system to move solar panels using a robot so that the panels could track the sun in a cheaper way than standard systems. The new system bets to cut the cost of producing solar electricity by up to 20 percent. The company is preparing to release its so called solar robots next month.
A Solar Cell That Can Produce Electricity At Night
One of the major problems with solar panels is, they can’t produce electricity during the night. That means, a solar photovoltaic plant works only for 12 hours on average per day. Scientists have a solution now. Solar panels can now produce electricity, indirectly, at night, without sunlight. A new solar panel technology will produce hydrogen gas along with electricity during the day, that will power fuel cells at night. That means, smooth generation of electricity 24-hour a day.
Eliodomestico – A Solar Oven That Transforms Salty Water Into Drinkable Water
Two of the largest problems in the world are food supply and fresh clean water. Three-forth of the world is filled with water. Most of these water are dirty, salty and therefore undrinkable. In fact, of all the water on earth, only very few percentage of water is available for us to use and drink. On the other hand, finding drinking water in this polluting world in a very easy way is a nightmare. But an Italian designer Gabriele Diamanti doesn’t believe that. He has made a solar oven called Eliodomestico that can transform salty water into drinkable water. 5 liters of salty water can be transformed into drinkable water daily.
Bluetooth Bulb – The Ultimate Lighting Experience With Your Phone
I am going to introduce new light bulb which should be called Bluetooth Bulb. It will surely simplify your life with its amazing technology integrating the bulb with your phone. You can control it through the app installed in your phone within its range. It is the ultimate lighting experience at home.
US CO2 Emissions Lowest In Last 20 Years
According to a report from the U.S. Energy Information Agency, the amount of carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions in the U.S. has dropped to a 20-year low. The drop comes as surprise to officials and scientists practicing related trade. The main reason behind the surprising drop in carbon dioxide emissions is said to the result of recent shift to natural gas by some power plant operators from coal.
Fujitsu Recycling Wasted CDs And DVDs To Build Shiny New Notebooks
What do you do with CDs and DVDs? Listen music, write Data, watch movies & lots of entertaining attributes to enjoy. Have you ever thought of any other alternative idea? Japanese electronics giant Fujitsu came up with an idea of recycling the CDs & DVDs into laptops. Aren’t you surprised!!! Well it’s not necessarily to be the disks that you needed. You might have old/damaged disks in your home which you are not using since long. Those wasted & unused CDs will be used in the recycling process for the generation of the bodies of the new Fujitsu notebooks.
Silent Falcon: Solar-Powered UAV That Can Fly For 14 Hours On Battery
Last Monday, Silent Falcon UAS Technologies officially announced the Silent Falcon solar electric Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) at the Association for Unmanned Vehicle Systems International (AUVSI) conference in Las Vegas. This solar-powered unmanned vehicle can fly up to 14 hours in the sky.
