Climate Changer

How about having a garden and some percent of the plants in it collect solar power? Tech-Temple is reporting that Japan’s National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), Mitsubishi Corp. and Tokki Corp. have developed a prototype solar cell module that realistically takes on the look of a common houseplant / Read here. The idea behind this invention is very cool infact. Flowers, artificial or not are incorporated in our world widely. With this kind of technology possible at normal price i think much people will rearrange their homes, garden or whatever with this kind of stuff

Illinois’ inventor Steve Le Roy reported to be working on a device which purpose is to generate electricity from lightning. Device infact harvest energy from the electrical discharge produced from lightning. As mentioned in this month’s Business Week’s Green Tech forum, Le Roy took his cues from a coiled transformer created by Nikola Tesla at the turn of the century. We learn this from Inhabitat and thank them for the detailed information.

It is good too see actions like IKEA’s one, which shows social and environmental responsibility, with their plans to free recycle any CFL bulbs that walks through its door. CFLs and much better than incandescent light bulbs if we mean energy efficiency, but there is one issue with them. It can’t be recycled with glass bottles, thanks to its mercury content. They plan to take old CFLs off of your hands and recycle them for free. All that mercury can either get wasted in landfills, or it could get reused by bulb companies.

Watch it bellow and help us and this guy spread the word about this video.

Producing “clean energy” from the Sun is an option, which everyone of us must consider for future because of its renewable status. Scientist from Neuchatel’s Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology has designed a floating solar island that will produce both electricity and hydrogen using solar power. And even better is that the first $5 million, 100-meter-wide island is set to be deployed in Ras al Khaimah, one of the United Arab Emirates.
