Green Algae: A New Method To Stop Global Warming
Monday, January 5, 2009 2:40 No CommentsI am happy to tell you that a team of UK scientists have discovered a method that could stop global warming. They have found that millions of tiny particles of iron are released into the southern Ocean after the melting icebergs off the coast of Antarctica.
Video: Who says that water can’t burn?
Sunday, December 28, 2008 3:50 No CommentsIs very easy to realize this experiment. You need some things: cup, matches and batteries. After you got these things you must to fill the cup with water and drop the batteries in the water and leave for 30-40 minutes.
Solar Energy Can Be Accumulated In Concrete
Monday, December 8, 2008 13:38 No CommentsConcrete could be used for thermal energy storage, according to researchers from Arkansas University. They have won a prize worth 770,000 dollars from the U.S. Department of Energy, within a programme for supporting the projects of cheap solar energy accumulation.
Solar panels are used to pull the heat that to be stored than in concrete. [...]
Weather Could Be Changed By Wind Farms
Friday, November 28, 2008 2:22 No CommentsTwo American researchers at the University Maryland have discovered that a huge wind farm could change the direction of storms.
In this moment, the United States is supplied with 1% of our total electricity from windmills. The Department of Energy intends to raise this percentage to 20% by 2020. Therefore, to achieve this goal, requires [...]
Tree-Generated Electricity Helps Detecting Fires
Friday, November 21, 2008 12:32 No CommentsTrees produce electricity, confirmed American scientists. Moreover, they have found how much electricity produce these trees. The fact that the trees produce a small amount of electricity has been known for some time, but recently has been discovered the way in which this energy is produced. Thus, the trees generating electricity from an imbalance in [...]
“Black Silicon” Could Change Solar Energy Generation
Monday, October 13, 2008 0:10 No CommentsRecently was discovered a new material named “black silicon” which could be used to change the solar energy technology because in comparison with conventional silicon is between 100 and 500 times more sensitive to light.
Look how this material was discovered: a team of scientist from Harvard University, before adding sulphur hexafluoride, they shone an ultra-powerful [...]
