A crash course in changing the world.
This part I research the inventor for the power shift and I found four teenage girls who invented a wonderful product. their name are Duro-Aina Adebola (14), Akindele Abiola (14), Faleke Oluwatoyin (14) and Bello Eniola (15). They made powered generator called urine powered generator. It works when you use 1 liter of urine. It can give you electricity for 6 hours. The system that it works is at first, the urine is put into an electrolytic cell which separates out the hydrogen. The second is…

My power player is Ashok Bharti and he start with the electricity cooperation in New Delhi. He reconnect the connection between the poor people with the group of people that provides services. He used a participatory model to let both poor people and the service providers get advantage. Participatory model is when everybody that needs or doesn't needs electricity, participate to help the poor people and each other. By doing that, the poor people will be a legal consumers and also can be…

A Lebanese inventor has designed a device that would generate electricity from people running inside it, His name is Nadim Inaty. He has drawn up plans for Green Wheel or its also called Human Hampster Wheel for Energy. The wheel has a 3-meter diameter. Runners would enter it and rack up the miles while they did so, steel cylinders would capture the kinetic energy and store it. Inaty claims that running on Green Wheel for 30 minutes would cause enough watts to power a laptop computer for two…

For this part I found four girls that made unexpected products at Maker Faire Africa in Lagos is a urine powered generator. The girl are Duro-Aina Adebola, Akindele Abiola, Faleke Oluwatoyin, and Bello Eniola. They are all 14 except Bello Eniola. She is 15. They made the powered generator like, 1 liter of urine gives 6 hours of electricity. I didn't know what they meant at the first time, but they gave the how the system works. First, rine is put into an electrolytic cell, which separates…

Inventing has to do with Science and Technology. What is the definition of "Invent"? Invent is to create or design things that has not existed before and it must be original. What I mean by original is that... The idea that you use is basically from you. Each year there are hundreds of TEEN participate on making new items or let's say invent new product for the world eco-friendly.
Through my research, I found a 3 young girls who invented a amazing product.
This could be one of the…

Jonny Cohen has invented a project named 'GreenShields'. He found a way to save schools money and reduce greenhouse gas emissions by increasing school bus fuel efficiency, on the way to home from school when he was 12 years old. This idea popped into his head when he was having summer cla****, based on aerodynamics at Northwestern University. His first idea was trying to reduce drag and allow the vehicle to use less fuel by attaching a streamlined, transparent Plexiglas cover over a school…

Human have their own creativity, curiosity and imagination that sometimes other people don't understand about it. By build that knowledge, we can make something new or come up with an ideas. If we create something new that doesn't exist yet, it's called inventor. Inventor is a person who invents things that they thinks is their job. we can also called them thinkers because the way they are solving problems are outside the box and improve on existing ideas that useful for daily needs.…

The guy that I want to talk about is Mathias Craig. Now, 5 million inhabitants didn't have access to electricity for technology to promote health, education and economic. He found an organisation called blue energy that provides low cost sustainable energy needs for Nicaragua. This is a non profit organisation. Craig always discussed about how to bring both the technology and training to the rural areas. This project didn't focus on diesel generators, they focus on wind energy for the…

The main problem is that wind farms and solar panels only power devices while the wind is blowing or the sun is shining, there is no effective battery system... until this scientist at MIT came up with an effective liquid battery.

I found a website called re-innovation where they have blogs about renewable energy sources. It also has new innovative energy products that could cut down on everyday energy uses and how you can make them at home.

I picked Alexis Belonio and the Center for Rice Husk Energy Technology as my social innovator (http://energymap-scu.org/center-for-rice-husk-energy-technology/). They promote the production and use of rice husk gasifiers to provide clean and cheap energy to the Philippines and East Asia. Millions of tons of rice husks are wasted every year when they can be turned into energy easily and cheaply. Rice is a major…

There is a unique nightclub concept in the netherlands called "Club Watt". The main idea behind it is to let the customers create the energy needed to supply the club with electricity. Every move people are doing on the dancefloor is directly converted into electricity which is used to power the light shows. But this is not the only sustainable aspect of the club: The toilet flush works with rainwater and the cups in which drinks are being served are recyclable and being refilled multiple…

Bioenergy: Organic Waste Reactors
Organic waste like dead plant material, manure, or kitchen waste can be turned into a gaseous fuel. It’s produced by fermentation of these biodegradable materials. Biogas can be used as fuel for cooking, for example, or in a gas engine, converting energy into electricity or heat.
Sarah Ervinda Rudianto, a student from Indonesia, developed a small, individual bioreactor that converts organic waste into biogas with the help of fermentation. To…

I think that Electric Cars should run on solar-energy. We could definitely do that and it would be a small step into our planet becoming more sustainable for the future.

I'm gonna have demon powers and on my birthday I will create a holiday called rage quit day were you go rage quit and beat up anyway who gets in your way, or annoys you or you just do it for no apparent reason. At the end whoever is the last man standing wins and its always me cause I have powers

this sounds cool: Imagine being able to convert water into a boundless source of cheap energy. That's what BlackLight Power, a 25-employee firm in Cranbury, N.J., says it can do. The only problem: Most scientists say that company's technology violates the basic laws of physics. Such skepticism doesn't daunt Dr. Randell Mills, a Harvard-trained physician and founder of BlackLight, who recently claimed that he has created a working fuel cell using the world's most pervasive element: the…

Gyanesh Pandey was originally from Bihar, India, the nation’s poorest state. Bihar is populated by 80 million people, of which 85% do not have access to electricity. With no electricity comes a lot of social problems: poorer nutrition and hygiene, less available light for studying, higher crime rates, and more. Although Gyanesh Pandey grew up in this environment, he eventually left India to get higher education in the United States, where he studied electrical engineering and settled into a…
