The Fastest High-Speed Electric Train was Built in China
China is one of the countries that succed to amaze us daily with its new technological inventions. Chinesse researchers have succeedeed many times to achieve some notable performance more than American researchers performances for example. Few days ago China launched what they call “the fastest electric train in the world”, and it seems that this train is as they say, because it can reach a speed of 350km/h.
Dew Drop Artificial Leaf Water Plants Automatically
If you read other articles on MyGreenTreasure.com you may notice my attraction towards biological systems and especially towards plants and how they influence our lives. Growing plants around our homes and even inside our homes offers some very important advantages. Two of these advantages are: improving air quality and the unique design offered by various ornaments. Growing plants is not always an easy task, because the plants require special treatment depending on the species and on the location.
Green Treasure – Algae Being Used For Making Ultra-Thin Batteries
Algae come in great variety and are one of the most abundant life forms on the planet, so it would be very unpractical, not to find a use for them, even in today’s technologized world. But people have acknowledged the great potential of this organism, and after trying to develop a algae-based biofuel or building solar cells out of single-celled algae its time for the algaes to get involved in creating biodegradable batteries.
AirPod – The Car That Runs On Compressed Air – Has Some “Air Leaks”
In the last days of the gasoline-powered vehicles, the competition for the car of the future is harsh and open for surprises. There is still no definitive winner, although the electric car has won some important “battles”. Yet other technologies await recognition and some attention from the public. For example, the pneumatic-propelled engine technology has taken some major steps towards the big stage.
Rewave – A Portable Water Desalination Device Which Uses Wave Energy
Let’s say you plan to take a trip somewhere in the vicinity of the ocean but sometime along the way your water supply rans out. With only salty water around you, you might need some equipment to try make it potable. Why not take the Rewave with you ?
Fraunhofer Institute Introduces 23.4 Procent Efficient N-type Solar Cell
The famous German research and technology center, the Fraunhofer Institute for Solar Energy Systems, have managed to make a breakthrough in the field of Photovoltaics, achieving a remarkable conversion efficiency of 23,4 procent, by creating a thin p-type semiconductor layer on an n-type semiconductor substrate.
Solar Roadways Could Power The Entire World
We all know how hot and how much heat the roads dissipate during summer times. We all have seen the hot road mirage on the highways, where the road seems soaked in a pool of water. Well, what if this heat and energy can, in some way be extracted and stored as electrical energy ? This was the idea that captivated Scott Brusaw’s imagination since childhood. Now, as a grown man, after he acknowledged the dangers of global warming, he came up with the concept that enables him to use this, once lost, energy. After years of development, together with his wife, they introduced Solar Roadways, a company designed for a fully digitized roads, that could ,theoretically, someday power the entire world.
Diabetes treatment with Teas made from Herbs
Diabetes mellitus is a very complex problem for many of us and solving this problem is also very difficult because involves much effort, a strict treatment and a strong will. Treatment of diabetes can not be reduced exclusively to phytotherapy. Diabetes treatment always involves radical measures and perseverance in adapting to disease conditions and to the entire lifestyle of affected patient. Apart from therapy with insulin or antidiabetics, I have to mention two very important factors, often unavoidable and strictly necessary to complet diabetes treatment: diet and physical activity.
How Forests Improve Human Health
We talked in some older posts about forest influences on global warming and the influence of vegetation on climate evolution.
Today I will present some special qualities of forests, and more specifically, the role of forest on human health (health role).
So I will continue to list some of these special qualities:
NOAH – Spectacular Green-Designed Architectural Complex
This morning, I looking for something interesting to post on “My Green Treasure” and I accidentally found something that could represent the result of technological evolution in the last dozen years.
Marine Cloud Whitening – Artificial Created Clouds to Prevent Global Warming
An important factor influencing climate evolution and global warming on our planet, is represented by solar radiation. Many countries consider solar radiation as a very important alternative energy source but it seems that radiations emitted by the sun can have negative effects on our planet.
$40 Air Filter Could Reduce Fuel Consumption by 20%
![corneliu]](http://www.mygreentreasure.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/corneliu.jpg "corneliu]")
Nowadays, researchers find different ways to improve the efficiency of our cars, by reducing consumption, increasing power or change car design (lines and shapes). Sometimes big discoveries may come from small countries. Same thing happened with the product I will present in this post.
OLED Technology Evolution and New OLED Applications
In this post I will present some historical data about the well known lighting system OLED, some OLED applications, and the OLED’s evolution. First OLED systems( Organic Light Emitting Diode Display) were used in 1960. When OLED appeared, display technology was revolutionized, because this new system was more efficient than usual displays.
“The Contortionist “ Compact Bike Can be Folded in 20 Seconds
In a previous post we presented a special designed bicycle, made by Mercedes-Benz, a folding bike, easy to carry anywhere and perfect for someone who is striving to protect the environment and reduce CO2 emissions.
New Indoor Gardening System is DNA Molecule-Inspired
I think that many of us have a small garden around our homes, where we can find different vegetables or fruits, vegetable foods for daily consumption. But many people live in urban areas, in big cities, where building a garden is not so easy .Most people in urban areas buy their food from supermarkets, and this food is not so healthy compared with food from your own garden.
Global Climate Could be Influenced by Jellyfish Movements in Water
Global warming problem is a very complicated problem today, a problem influenced by many factors, a problem that can be solved with a huge effort, with willpower, technology and also with love for nature.
Sahara Desert Could Change World’s Energetic Future
Nowadays, solar energy is the most important alternative energy source on the planet. Solar centrals will be the main electricity suppliers in the near future. The perfect areas, where these solar centrals would work at maximum capacity are deserts. In deserts the intensity of solar radiation during the day is very high and solar systems would reach maximum efficiency.
Shweeb – The Bicycle On A Monorail
Shweeb is a interesting new concept, where you push your way in a capsule mounted on a monorail, using only the power of your feet. Built in late 2007 in Roterua, New Zealand, Shweeb is suspended about 4 meters in the air and is 200m long. To add more to the excitement, the designers thought it would be more fun if two persons could race one another, so they build two parallel monorails.
Samsung – Major $4,3B Eco-Investment
Eco, Eco, everybody Eco ! A green revolution is taking place ! It seems they can’t get enough of it. Another major Korean electronics company, Samsung, is ready to do a major $4,3 billion (5.4 trillion Korean won) eco-investment into more environmentally-friendly, energy-efficient products for company’s plans to reduce carbon gas emissions in the production section, by 2013, Samsung officials announced last week.
Solar charger for iPhone and Blackberry
With all this current hype about environmentally-friendly products, it seems that Apple, with their iPhone and the Blackberry phones have been left behind. Well, that is about to change. A company called Motion Touch, announced a new eco-friendly product called “Powcell”, a solar mobile phone charger which works for iPhone’s and Blackberry’s.
