Friday, July 11th, 2008MIT has just announced a new breakthrough when it comes to solar panels that should be able to make them much more cost effective as energy sources in about three years. Awesome.
So the technology that has been developed? MIT coined the tech development as “organic solar concentrators.” What they do is collect light over [...]
Nano Vent-Skin Provides Renewable Energy And Looks Cool
Wednesday, June 4th, 2008Many people say that wind turbines are ugly, but I don’t understand why they care more about aspect rather than doing something to save Earth. Well, thanks to Agustin Otegui, this concern will be forgotten in the future. The Mexican genius came up with a different approach regarding the harvesting of renewable energy.
Renewable 91 Octane Gasoline From Algae
Sunday, June 1st, 2008Sapphire Energy announced that they have successfully used a breakthrough process to produce renewable 91 octane green gasoline, crude oil, from CO2, sunlight and algae. Jason Pyle, CEO and co-founder of the group, stated that Sapphire’s aim is to become ‘the world’s leading producer of renewable petrochemical products’, and their new achievement places them one [...]
Solar Cells With 44% Efficiency Are Possible
Thursday, May 29th, 2008A team of collaborating researchers from the Foundation for Fundamental Research on Matter and TU Delft brought proof that electrons produce the ‘Avalanche Effect’ in a certain type of semiconducting crystals. This effect, combined with the energy obtaining process via solar cells, could result in a high improvement in their output.
Veil Solar Shade To Teach Kids About Renewable Energy
Tuesday, May 27th, 2008A good way to teach the kids about global warming and the importance of replacing fossil fuels with renewable energy is to design something they like and understand. An interactive solar power installation was designed by Buro North for Australian primary school yards with many purposes like to generate electricity, teach kids about renewable energy [...]
