Roto Charger – The world’s First Truly Sustainable Cellphone Charger
We all know that when we start to have problems with our cellphones, the best thing we can do is to buy a new one, because when something is damaged and than repaired, it will never be the same, as when it was new. Although, we can not afford to throw these mobile phones every day, so we have to use them in these conditions.(with inefficient batteries or other similar problems). For example in India, millions of old mobile phones are daily used to connect thounds of rural Indian Villages with the rest of the world.
Six Minute Charging Technology for Electric Vehicles
If you have an electric vehicle, you may know that the most frustrating moment is when you want to recharge your batteries. Recharging batteries often takes several hours and this is not a good thing because today time is very precious. For these reasons, researchers have tried to find more effective ways to solve the problem and it seems they have succeeded. The EDISON project was initiated by Siemens Energy Sector in Denmark and its main purpose is to develop more efficient charging technology for electric vehicles.
Chizhevsky Chandelier Harvests Static Electricity from Air
Lately, researchers have found plenty of ways to produce electricity, using different technologies. It turned out that one of the most effective ways to produce electricity is to use renewable energy sources. So far we have discussed on MyGreenTreasure about several ways to produce electricity (using solar energy, wind energy, kinetic energy, etc.) but today I will present to you a new and revolutionary device, capable to produce static electricity from air.
Retinal Implants Powered by Onboard Flexible Solar Cells
Recently, I have read on the internet about a very interesting device and I couldn’t refrain to post about it on MyGreenTreasure. It’s about a photovoltaic chip, able to improve human eyesight (especially for those with damaged photoreceptor cells). These cells are able to capture the light, forming on the retina, the image we look for. Due to the growing in age, or often even from birth, these cells are weaker than it should be and that’s why the problems appear.
Self-Sufficient „Eco Shower” Saves Water and Electricity
Industrial designer Paul Frigout recently proposed a self-sufficient concept shower able to reduce water and electricity consumption. Everyone loves a shower after a hard day, but even this simple activity involves a high consumption of water and electricity. This shower uses an ingenious system to produce electricity. Inside the showerhead there is a turbine that produces electricity when water pass through it. The electricity generated is used to heat the water.
World’s First Osmotic Power Plant in Norway
Osmotic power is actually the energy resulted from the difference in the salt concentration between seawater and river water. In other words, if you want to obtain carbon-neutral energy you have to mix seawater with fresh water. Statkraft recently opened world’s first osmotic power plant in Norway.
New Catalyst May Allow Exploitation of Natural Gas at Low Costs
Natural gas is an exhaustible energy source and today methane is used excessively. That’s why researchers announced that natural gas resources will disappear in 130 years. In areas where natural gas is exploited and used excessively, it could disappear in 60 years. Also gas exploitation involves huge costs. Scientists from the Max Planck Institute for Coal Research have found a way to obtain natural gas cheaper.
Miletto Electric Scooter is 10 Times More Effective than Any other Scooter
Electric scooters are very useful today, especially in urban areas where traffic is often blocked because of agglomeration and where the air is polluted by vehicles that run with fossil fuels. Electric scooters Market is large enough today, and every producer tries to bring new improvements to their vehicles, to reach “the top of the pyramid”. A Japanese manufacturer recently announced that next year they will launch a new electric scooter model, 10 times more effective than any older model currently on the market.
High-Energy Storage – Rechargeable Zinc-Air Batteries To Be Soon Available
Some recent developments have brought to life new technologies for building a more efficient battery. ReVolt, a Swiss company announced that they managed to develop a rechargeable zinc-air battery that can store, by volume, three times more energy than the common lithium-ion battery, but in the same time, reducing the costs by half.
Eco-Friendly Paper Laptop made from Recyclable Materials
Now, the object that you can see in the picture is really cool! It is similar to a simple laptop, but unlike other laptops is made 100% from recyclable material. This laptop was designed by Je Sung Park and the material used to create such refined appearance is actually recyclable paper. This material offers several advantages, material advantages, environmental advantages and aesthetic advantages (you can replace damaged parts, manufacturing costs are reduced and recycled paper makes this device an eco-friendly laptop).
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.
10 Most popular environmentally friendly concept bicycles
On MyGreenTreasure.com we talked few times about green bikes, and we chose the most efficient bikes on the specialized market, but in this post I want to present the 10 most popular green bikes and some of their characteristics. All these green bikes were created to reduce pollution, emissions of gaseous pollutants, and on the other hand, these bikes help to strengthen and maintain a healthy body.
Audi Efficiency Challenge – Low Emissions, Low Fuel Consumption
Audi recently announced that they want to make an experiment to show once again the efficiency of their models over a distance of 4182 kilometers. The purpose of these experiments is to show that Audi products (Audi cars) are most effective if we talk about emissions and fuel consumption. This experiment is called “Audi Efficiency Challenge from A to B“, and will be presented to a group of 120 journalists, to show them that CO2 emissions and fuel consumption can achieve an ideal rate on 4182 km distance.
IBM’s Pursuit To Develop A 500 Mile-Range Nano-Battery For EV’s
We are all aware of the biggest problem today’s electric car(EV) face: the low-storage capacity batteries. In order to make positive steps forward in solving this matter, IBM, the giant computer technology company, has recently set the goal to develop a battery that could empower electric cars to reach a 500 mile-range, considerable more than today’s performances.
Electric and Fun – Futuristic Unicycle From Honda
Imagine the shape of the infinite sign. Now picture one of the “loops” as a wheel and the other one as a place to sit on. This is, vaguely, how the new experimental unicycle, which was presented by Honda Motors on Thursday, looks like and . In order to keep its balance, the unicycle took some of the technology from their robot, ASIMO. The steering is simple and functions just by moving your torso in the desired direction – forward, backward or even diagonally.
New LED Bulb From Panasonic Lights for 19 Years
Don’t we all hate when the light goes out in the night, just as we write something at the desk ? Didn’t we had enough with the old incandescent lights, that die out when you least expected ? Not to mention how much they consume. And then the whole work of replacing it, specially if they at – hard to reach – spots… Now with a recent ban from the EU on incandescent light bulbs, alternatives are quickly found, such as a modern LED bulb, that now, lasts much longer.
Solar Powered Bicycle Of The Future Can’t Be Stolen
