Urine Could Power our Vehicles Better than Water
23 March 2011 | Alternative Energy | No Comments
Urine: alternative-fuel. We all know human urine as a waste, but how many of you learned about its utility as an alternative fuel. Scientists at Ohio University stuns with their new discovery: urine can be transformed in hydrogen. Often, we have to go to the toilet when we drive and this can be really unpleasant sometimes.
Now, this new discovery may solve the problem of bathroom breaks, anytime you leave home in a long road trip. With a little imagination, we can see how useful it can be for us. Think about this: you drive on a road where you can not “hide” to make your needs. 
In this case, your car tank is the only solution left.
Solar Panels Floating on Water
10 March 2011 | Solar Power | 2 Comments
Israeli and French researchers have found a new way to produce solar power. They planned to build floating solar farms over industrial water basins by the year 2012. In this way the panels won’t take too much land space ant they also will be cheaper.
Usually, water basins serves as water sources for irrigation. Installing these solar panels there, will allow people to produce green solar energy (each module produces 200 kiloWatts) and enhance the overall utility of the existing space.
