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 [...]

What would you say if plants would grow in deserts? Actually, not plants, but entire crops for a big quantity of food and this is not all as this project developed by a team of engineers which also claim that the Sahara Forest Project will provide clean water in deserts.
The idea is not entirely new [...]

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 [...]

My guess is that I don’t have to remind you how much fossil fuels are polluting the air and how important is to develop new clean ways to harness energy. Now we have solar and wind energy, as well as wave and tidal power. Today we’re going to talk about a new way of harnessing [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

We have always encouraged the use of renewable energies because it’s for the best. Although the installations are not so efficient, cost-effective or aesthetic, we should make use of them more and more as this is the way to save our planet.

A company that tries to introduce the use of wind power into urban environment [...]

As solar power is harnessed with the help of tiny solar cells, it seems like wind power could be harvested using nano-scaled wind turbines. A Mexican designer named Agusting Otegui has came up with the Nano Vent-Skin which is a state of the art green wall.

This concept wall consists of “different kinds of micro organisms [...]

The Australian Government had a great initiative which has the purpose to teach kids and pupils how important and how much we need renewable energy. Thanks to a design by Buro North, the Australian primary schools will get their solar power installations which will generate electricity and provide shade from the sun.

The Veil Solar Shades [...]
