In the late 1980s, during the Montreal Protocol that set rules for the chlorofluorocarbon emissions, methyl bromide was about to become a target, to reduce it for saving the ozone layer. So, from a poplar compound used in agriculture, it became an “outlaw”.

Certain bright minds say we should throw trillions of mirrors into space to slow global warming. It doesn’t seem like a bad idea at a first glance, but other enlightened thoughts say we should release chemicals into the air to do just that.

Cold fusion has been a milestone in the discovery of a potentially new unlimited source of energy for almost two decades. Since the scientific community’s first report of it in 1989, by Martin Fleishmann and Stanley Pons, searching for it has been the ultimate dream of researchers spending millions of dollars by making high technology [...]

Solar and wind energy are two very important sources of energy that could save us when conventional fossil fuels are finished. In comparison with fossil fuels both of these sources are dependent on the climatic conditions of the place they are used. This is the reason why researchers, designers and scientists are trying to find [...]

Iowa State University started a new project of developing a thermochemical system that combines production of ethanol and thermal energy. With a low-emission burner and a new catalyst for ethanol production, the technologies use synthesis gas produced from discarded seed corn, switch-grass, wood chips and other biomass.

New York Auto Show 2009 will bring to attention a lot of new cars, a lot of manufacturers that will want to sell green technologies as this seems to be the future for the automotive market.With similar specifications as the Tesla Roadster, Liv Inizio is an electric sports car made by EV Innovations formerly known [...]

Our world is full of brilliant designers who take everything their minds envision and transform into reality… or models, prototypes. Designers complete the engineers’ work. One without the other would be like a carriage without a horse.

Approximately 60,000 alternative fuel vehicles will run on the streets of China until 2012. The initiative is part of the effort to reduce emissions and save energy, announced the Minister of Science and Technology of China, Wan Gang, quoted by Xinhua press agency.

Nowadays, vehicles manufacturers need to improve their standards to decrease fuel consumption and CO2 emissions. Reducing pollution is not anymore a question, it’s a must!

If we pursue the road towards the full electric car, we must find ourselves the energy storage that can bear at least the power of gasoline. As far as today, batteries, supercapacitors and hydrogen have been the ways to follow for powering an electric car. Of the three, the supercapacitors have a great advantage: they [...]

A company called Lilliputian Systems has developed a fuel cell to replace Lithium-Ion Batteries in electronics industry. It will be very interesting to see how science will be able to evolve from this point on as the new fuel cell system that runs on butane cartridges is able to replace heavy laptop and mobile batteries.

The wave turbine is a free energy device and is presented here. How it works is very simple, as anyone can imagine. Waves hit the shores, they enter a cavity, in the cavity there is some air, and the air pushes the propellers of a turbine which produces electricity. That type of turbine has been [...]

A long time ago, nature set its oceans and the living things in them. There were plants residing on the bottom of the ocean, plants who sway back and forth, as the water moves around them.

I received a message today from a reader suggesting a particular website. I read the information on that particular website, and there was presented a hybrid energy producing system by using the waves as a “catalyst” for the operation of a diesel-powered generator.
In short, their inventions’ descriptions are these:
“1. Wave Air Pump - WAP:

Francis Farley, an experimental physicist (I like them much more than the theoreticians), has invented the “Anaconda” wave powered device. It can mainly be described as a large distensible tube, made out of rubber, closed at both ends and filled with water. The Anaconda tube is designed to be anchored just below the sea’s surface, [...]
