100 Percent Algae Powered Computer
This computer ran on algae power alone for 6 months Scientists have succeeded in powering a microprocessor for months thanks to the energy generated by algae. This kind of progress, still at the margins, is very encouraging for a world dependent on polluting energies. What if tomorrow, small everyday connected objects were powered by plants? […]
Documentary: How Gasification Turns Waste Into Energy
Turning waste into energy has usually meant incineration – that is, burning our trash. But this method has major environmental drawbacks. Gasification could be a better alternative. It’s an old technology that proponents hope to repurpose as a cleaner and more economical waste-to-energy solution, and now a number of companies in this space say they’re […]
Using Wood to Fuel a Generator! (How to Build a Wood Gasifier w/Demonstration)
I made this gasifier a couple of years ago now as a second attempt at the technology. My first attempt had a few bugs. The blower wasn’t able to move enough air, the unit was over-sized for the amount of gas produced, and the gas wasn’t cool enough upon exiting the gasifier, resulting in an […]
homemade gasifier uses wood pellets to run generator
Gasifier uses wood pellets to create flammable mixture that a generator can run on without gasoline. This video shows how it was constructed, how it works, and how to use it from start to finish. Great project for anyone looking for alternative energy or wanting to live off the grid. Just for some clarification — […]
SUGAR: Electric Passenger Aircraft
SUGAR Volt: Boeing’s Hybrid Electric Aircraft NASA asked a Boeing-led team to explore the possibilities of a hybrid electric aircraft. Marty Bradley, Boeing Research and Technology, explains how the SUGAR Volt concept is defining the future of flight. Learn more about how Boeing innovates at http://www.boeing.com/innovation/ How do you see the future of flight? What’s […]
Island Couple Turns Plastic Trash Into Fuel
This couple has figured out how to turn plastic trash into fuel. This seems like a gasification method used with plastic to heat them and draw flammable gasses off of them, then cool those gasses into a flammable liquid which can be used to power engines. Very clever. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TFuTCpCVSbM
What is Three Mile Island and what really happened?
The US Nuclear Regulation Commission states that the the plant experienced a failure in the secondary non-nuclear section of the plant, one or two reactors on the site. Either a mechanical or electrical failure prevented the main feedwater pumps, component in the animated diagram, from sending water to the steam generators that remove heat from the reactor core. This caused the plant’s turbine
New Toyota Hydrogen Fuel Cell Can Be Used For Anything
Fuel cells generate electricity from hydrogen, so they’re a key part of the powertrain for hydrogen-powered electric vehicles and aircraft. But they can also be useful in a range of other applications, and in order to promote developments outside its own product lineup, Toyota has packaged up a fuel cell module you can buy more […]
Cropland Use can be cut in half yet still Produce same amount of food, according to new Study
It’s Possible To Cut Cropland Use in Half and Produce the Same Amount of Food, Says New Study Restoring up to 2.2 million square miles to nature (Perolsson | Dreamstime.com) “If during the next sixty to seventy years the world farmer reaches the average yield of today’s US corn grower, the ten billion will need […]
What would happen if a light bulb were filled with a non-conductive liquid, like oil and then turned on? Would it last forever?
No. Let us assume a high-boiling non electrically conductive oil in a tungsten filament lamp, and compare this with a low pressure gas, which is the normal method (i.e. a vacuum but not a perfect one). In the case of the oil, what would happen is like an element in an electric kettle. The element would get hot […]
Will salt be the energy source of the future?
They explained the details of the experiment. “The electrolysis method was used to produce the electricity from saltwater. Water is comprised of two elements – hydrogen and oxygen. Distilled water is pure and free of salts; thus it is a very poor conductor of electricity. By adding ordinary table salt to distilled water, it becomes […]
What is NanoCrystal Electricity and how does Nano Crystal Electricity work?
The new technology of NanoCrystal Electricity. What is it and what does it mean? This Tesla dream device will power everything and make all of your power cords obsolete. “It’s about to change your life†– Stephen Hawking. Here’s a 100 year old, early prototype of a device which was designed to emit electricity […]

Exciting News, Sweden constructs world’s first electric vehicle charging road
Sweden constructs the world’s first “Dynamic Charging Road” which is a road that recharges EV (Electric Vehicles) batteries while they drive. The prototype public road is 2km long but nationwide charging road is already being drafted. The road is similar to electric trains in that a small rod slides along an electrical track which calculates […]
What is Thorium and how can we use it as an clean, alternate fuel source? [VIDEO]
What is Thorium? Thorium is a slightly radioactive metal with small ammounts naturally being found in small amounts in most rocks and soils. It is three times more abundant than uranium. Within soil, there is an average of 6 parts per million of thorium. Thorium is insoluble and unlike uranium, is plentiful in sands but not in seawater. […]
Switching to clean energy will take a massive social change
Global climate change, driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases, is already affecting the planet, with more heatwaves, droughts, wildfires and floods, and accelerating sea-level rise. Devastating impacts on our environment, health, social justice, food production, coastal city infrastructure and economies cannot be avoided if we maintain a slow and steady transition to a zero-carbon […]
Shanxi province in China attempts to save coal industry by sacrificing environment and people.
Environmentalists warn that Shanxi’s fight to save its ailing coal industry by handing out tax cuts will increase pollution, damage the environment and hurt it’s people. The centre of China’s coal industry is in steep decline. Shanxi province, in northern China, has long relied on its natural coal resources, but is now suffering […]
