The system is the first to offer consumers a simple way to charge their EVs with the ease of hands-free, automatic technology.
Google is famous for giving the digital generation what it wants, so it only makes sense that the search giant would branch out into other technologies it feels are worth of its attention. So it shouldn’t come
A Dutch architectural company wonders if wind turbines can be transformed into objects of desire.
As desperate as the world is for consistent, renewable energy, some people have voiced opposition when the construction of a wind farm is proposed in their area. Apparently, everyone wants to reap the
Downloadable from the Android Market, the app will allow customers to control their ecobee Smart Thermostats anytime, anywhere.
Have you ever left your home for a business trip or vacation, only spend your time wondering if you’d left the heat or unnecessary lights on?
Inspired by LEAF technology, the ESFLOW concept will be unveiled at the Geneva Motor Show 2011.
The Nissan LEAF made a splash as the most affordable, mass-produced, all-electric car on the market, and now its creators are determined to prove you can be an environmentally-friendly driver
Searching the internet is an essential part of daily life, but are you aware of how much energy you’re using every time you surf?
We are experiencing the peak of the information age, and thanks to wireless internet technologies, it’s happening in a less resource intensive way. Instead of printed books we have eBooks, and
A Swedish train station is harvesting energy from human heat to warm buildings and lower energy costs.
Central Station in Stockholm is Sweden’s largest rail station and the busiest in Northern Europe with almost 250,000 passengers per day. All those bodies in motion create excessive heat in the building, despite the chilly climate.
Using a bio-digester, the plant will derive energy from waste products including milk, cream, proteins, syrups and pieces of fruit.
Now, there’s another reason to scream for Ben & Jerry’s ice cream: one of the company’s plants in Holland will soon supplement a significant portion of its energy needs with power generated from
Thinner and stronger than steel, graphene already outperforms all other known materials as a conductor of heat.
Graphene is a thin flake of ordinary carbon – a mere one atom thick, yet 200 times as strong as steel. Researchers at Columbia University’s Foundation School of Engineering said that “it would take an
The ecomagination team at GE is pushing renewable energy limits with heat capture and hybrid dynamic braking on trains.
The energy that’s generated when stopping a train is quite substantial and GE’s ecomagination team is discovering ways to capture that energy. In a conventional train engine, that energy is
A Skystream 600 could provide up to 80 percent of an average home’s energy requirements.
Southwest Windpower recently unveiled its newest and most efficient small wind turbine at the 2011 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas.
The Skystream 600 is the most efficient
New research suggests protocell “skins” could be the secret to building carbon-negative architecture.
Researchers in Europe are collaborating on a project to develop materials that could eventually make it possible for buildings to produce water in desert environments or harvest sunlight to produce biofuels.
Methane is one of the most harmful of all the greenhouse gasses, but new research could be the secret to harnessing this energy for common electronics.
Electrochemical fuel cells have always been viewed as a clean source of power, but using them in any other setting than the laboratory has been hindered by their high cost, reliability issues, and temperature.
Enjoy the safety of a bike light without worrying about dead batteries!
