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.

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.

Volvo with their busy looking at other types of renewable energy sources for trucks for sure deserve our applause. The recent demonstration of new generation trucks which the Swedish vehicle manufacturer says are carbon-dioxide free needs to be considered as attempt in right direction by other truck manufacturers, especially by those in US. Volvo produced seven trucks equipped with Volvo’s own 9-liter engines, modified to operate on seven different types of renewable liquid and gaseous fuels. Volvo said that these trucks can “be operated on a number of different renewable fuels and/or combinations of fuels: biodiesel, biogas combined with biodiesel, ethanol/methanol, DME, synthetic diesel and hydrogen gas combined with biogas.”
