How to Build a Magnetic Generator at Home
10 July 2010 | Alternative Energy | 2 Comments
About a year ago, when I started to write articles on myGreenTreasure.com, one of the first titles was: Video of How to Build a Magnetic Motor. Back then I didn’t know too much about these magnetic motors so I chose to post two videos about them. Meanwhile I have realized that such systems are actually all that man needs to reduce global carbon emissions. Of course, we still have to do many other efforts to reduce these emissions, but replacing diesel engines with magnetic engines could be the biggest step in saving non-renewable energy resources and implicitly the planet.
Lithium-Air Batteries – Likely To Be The Most Important Breakthrough For Deposing Gasoline
5 January 2010 | Green Technology | 1 Comment
With no viable alternative to gasoline oil in sight, the search for a more environmentally-friendly solution is still on, but, as it turns out, the day gasoline is to be displaced is years away, as current research standings seem to indicate. Nevertheless, some favorite gasoline replacements have come to light. One of them certainly is the lithium-air battery. As far as its capability goes, the arrival of this technology will surely produce great excitement in the scientific community, as well as for most energy corporations.
LED Lightbulbs Save Considerable Energy
1 December 2009 | Green Technology | 1 Comment
A new study states that LED lightbulbs consume far less energy than incandescent bulbs in their entire lifetime. The study was conducted by Osram, a big lightning company from Germany and has studied and inspected the entire life of a LED bulb, from manufacturing down to its removal, during which they measured the total energy consumption, as well as the gas emissions ejected during the whole procedure. They also accounted for major global warming threats in each process, like the acid rain potential, photochemical ozone creation, eutrophication or the pollution through the release toxic chemical materials.
AirPod – The Car That Runs On Compressed Air

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.
German Team Wins First Prize At The Solar Decathlon

Hosted by the U.S. Department of Energy, the Solar Decathlon is a competition held for three weeks in October, where 20 teams of college and university students from Canada, U.S.A. and Europe, compete to design and build the most energy efficient and effective house, using solar technology. The event is also intended to be open for the public, so they can observe the latest solar equipments and technology used to create one of the most efficient houses in the world.
