Two companies called Statkraft and Wetsus are trying to develop an alternative that provides low-cost renewable energy by harnessing energy from the sea water and clash of river.

Researchers at the University of Leeds aims to develop a system that can harness kinetic energy from marching soldiers. The $1.5 million plan will focus on finding a way to convert human energy into usable power for military field applications. It is part of the larger “battery-free soldier” project that also includes development of solar [...]

Human waste could be an important source of “green” electricity for cooking and heating if it is converted into methane. Hundreds of thousands of people could benefit from this amazing source of energy. For this reason United Utilities is planning a £4.3 million scheme to build sewage treatment plants that can generate sewage gas for [...]

While the military might be the United States biggest consumer of oil, the Pentagon is looking for solutions to reduce this fossil fuels dependence which will mean more money saved. Thus, on each liter of fuel saved, the convoys that carrying oil will be lower with 6400 soldiers, therefore, less accidents and more lives saved [...]

A group of Turkish researchers believes that the Black Sea which is worlds largest dead zone due to the high amounts of toxic waste could be the most unconventional and newest source of clean energy. The researchers said that the influx of toxic waste has reduced the amount of oxygen present in water and replaced [...]

How many times do you hear on TV or you read in newspapers as various “experts” trying to convince you that alternative energy solutions are not a viable solution in this moment. Because are too expensive, are not reliable and resistant in time and these do not have the potential to cover even a small [...]

The motion can be a valuable source of energy, with the help of a small generators, even the legs movement can produce electricity. The procedure is called “harvest energy” and is tested at this moment on discos floors. According to researchers, the technology will soon allow us to charge through movement, the iPods and mobile [...]

In the near future tidal power will become a viable source of renewable energy, but a engineer from University of Michigan discovered a new method to turn river and ocean currents into energy. This device is called VIVACE ((Vortex Induced Vibrations for Aquatic Clean Energy). In comparison with other water mills and turbines which need [...]

Maybe you have wondered what is a map good for? If you want to go in some particular place, take a map and with a little effort in the end you would find your way to the right address. The things get exponentially better if you can dispose of an electronic gadget, for example a [...]
