The science world is currently fixating on those uber cool Zinc-air batteries that are set to debut next year, but the really cool technology is further ahead still. Batteries of late have one simple problem: fast discharge times, length charge times, and short life span just to name a few. Did you ever think that something so abundant and widespread as paper could be a mobile energy saving grace? Yes, normal paper has been turned into a battery thanks to the many great...
The big cities of the world are often some of the prime locations to see breakthroughs in technology and gadgets tested. They are also one big trash bin. Why people can’t walk two more feet to the trash can to throw something away is beyond me. Apparently the ground looks better to them. To each his own. It’s no secret that there is a ton of energy sitting, wasted in trash. Now we can’t just go on burning trash as that releases even more pollutants...
If I had a million dollars….*insert lofty and creative dream here…* If I had a million dollars, (or more) I would strive to build one of the most technologically advanced and green houses possible. Any way to save energy and money while being a geek haven would ensure that I never left my house. Why would I need to? While I am quite far from such results, having a green home can be relatively affordable and cheap. You can take one small step at a time and...
You may thing there isn’t anything “technological” about a parking lot. It’s a simple mass of various minerals and compounds that are unmoving, unchanging, and wholly static. People, it’s a concrete slab for crying out loud. What could it do. While all sorts of energy regenerating technologies can be incorporated into the concrete floor that covers large swaths of cities, one thing that many people tend to over look is how to prevent waste...
Think electrical outlets are about as technologically advanced as they can get? I hope not because the standard electrical outlet as we know it is about as old as dirt. Though this new concept simply titled “Switch” is a green, universal electrical outlet that gets my geek radar all kinds of giddy. Who knew an electrical outlet could be cool? As the diagram illustrates above, the device stays plugged in 24/7, but isn’t always on. On/off operation is...
