As our dependence on fossil fuels will be reduced, we will need new ways of harnessing renewable energies. Actually, there are lots of ways to get energy - wind, solar, wave and tidal will replace oil in the future. The problem is that we have to find efficient and cheaper options to get power from [...]

Here is an interesting concept wind turbine that could solve all the problems of conventional wind turbines. It’s small, beautiful, quiet and it catches winds from all directions. The conceptual wind turbine is called Natura Levo and it was designed by Laura Sink from the Art Institute of Pittsburgh.
The wind turbine can be installed on [...]

Ever since we found out that the speed of light is 300,000,000 meters per second, the human kind wanted to travel faster than the speed of light. Despite the fact that we never came close to reach this speed, two scientists, Associate Professor Gerald Cleaver and Richard Obousy, from Baylor are developing a technique that [...]

A few days ago tidal power “entered on the market” as the first ever tidal turbine power station was put on the National Grid in Strangford Lough, Northern Ireland. In a test, the £10million turbine designed by SeaGen was able to power 150 homes and in a few weeks (when it will perform at full [...]

In a world full of machines and buildings that have a negative impact on the environment there are needed green and sustainable structures therefore architects started to design buildings that protect the environment. London is a city where a sustainable office building will be built on the Southbank of the River Thames at One Westminster [...]

Everybody knows that the wind is an incredible source of power therefore researchers are trying to find new ways of producing energy using its force. One great project is BroadStar’s AeroCam which is a very powerful micro-turbine that spins on horizontal axis to allow its blades to intuitively track wind’s path.

These micro-turbines are the first [...]

Green architecture has been around for a while now and this is a good thing because they consist of state-of-the-art techniques and they are helping us to take care of our planet. Eco-structures are also very cool and another great example is the Habitat 2020 which was designed by Philips for China as a sustainable [...]

A partnership between Duke University and Boston College turned out to be very beneficial for the science world, as they obtained a metamaterial that absorbs all the light it gets (no, it doesn’t make things invisible), thus capable of generating more energy even than the solar cells.
It can’t be used as a camouflage, as it’s [...]

Santa Monica’s main attraction point, the Ferris Wheel, has now received a complimentary update consisting of 160,000 attached LEDs. The upgrade has pulled $1.5 million from the city’s fundings. The 90-foot ride was built in 1996 by Chance Morgan Rides and was the world’s first ferris wheel to use solar power.

Thanks to the energy it [...]

As we saw more and more devices that use solar power being launched, we could easily anticipate that it wasn’t going to be long until the free energy resource was to be enhanced in the cellphone industry. This concept phone designed by Eddie Goh spares you a few bucks from the electricity bill, as it [...]
