Lebone for all!
I live in a part of the world that doesn't get a great deal of sun, I'm not near the coast so can't make use of tidal power and the wind is unpredictable. Air source and ground source are too expensive for me at the moment. I would love though to be able to re-charge everyday items with www.lebone.org / http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microbial_fuel_cell type charging units. If anyone can post links… Continue

Engines that are 3.5 times as powerful as our current automobile engines.
There is a new "wave" engine prototype being produced at the University of Michigan as I am writing this post. It would be used in hybrids, and would seek to solve the current dilemma we face in gas use today: current automobile engines only use 15% of the gas people put in them for propulsion. The other 85% is essentially wasted. This new engine would put 60% of total gas put in cars, while also being compact in size (It is as large as a cooking pot.) It would also remove about 1000 lbs of… Continue
Ushahidi Asheville - Tracking the gas supply
As Asheville residents learned a few years back, as a geographically isolated city we have a very tenuous supply of fuel. When hurricanes Gustav and Ike plowed through the southern coast, it shut down fuel deliveries to a bare trickle. And what's worse, most of the fuel trucks heading our way were emptied long before they got near us, and the high mountain pa**** cost so much more in transportation fuel costs that… Continue

Nanotech for solar power
Here's a video from UCLA about biological fuel cells:

LEARN 3: Algae
A couple years back, when watching CNN, I discovered the work of Glen Kertz. He produces algae bio-fuel. At first, it sounded like another one bio-fuel experiment, hard to bring to the big picture. But then, I was amazed at the possibilities. It's a process that defines renewability. The man runs water through a zigzag system of bags, and grows algae in it, then harvesting it, and producing algae oil.
Personally, I was fascinated.
While his idea…

ACT1
I found Aviva Presser Aiden online and discovered the work she is doing on getting electricity from dirt using fuel cells. http://www.lebone.org/
This is fascinating technology and I'm very interested in anything that produces power in an unconventional way.
While Lebone is focused on providing this technology to isolated communities in Africa, I would hope that research is also being done to bring this technology… Continue

The growth of wood as a fuel in Oxfordshire UK
It seems like I am riding a wave! Wood as a fuel is growing in popularity in my county thus making it marginally easier for me to go for my wood pellet evokation :)

Using waste CO2 instead of sequestering it
I have come accross this fascinating abstract that explains the possibility of using algae to turn waste carbon dioxide into fuel that can then be used for vehicules as well as other applications instead of sequestering it.
Sounds like a good deal and the abstract mentions the use of this as a municipal application.
The wh*** article apparently goes into how to convert cooling towers and the cost of doing so.

My evocation progress.
Considering that one of my evokations is to have set up (or to set up) a wood pellet and wood pellet stove business here in the south midlands of the UK, Ihave done some brief market research. I have discovered that the pellet market is growing nicely and that there are pellet makers and sellers and even those who buy pellets from companies and individulas who make them. So if i was to get evoke to help me to establish this green business, I am sure that I would be able to make sme turnover… Continue

Establish carbon neutrality as part of the weekly practice in the western world?
The movement towards reducing meat consumption through "Meat Free Mondays" is a good idea in that it helps people to reduce the demand for meat and thus produce less greenhouse emmissions from animal farming, but what about carbon?
If everyone in Europe, the UK and the USA took one day out a week in the three months of the summer to cook outdoors with solar, wood pellets or vegetable oil as fuel, that would also go some way in reducing carbon as alternative fuels are, to the most part,… Continue

An Interesting Idea to Convert Biomass into Gasoline
I have been conducting my usual morning trawl of the tech press and came across this interesting piece in the MIT Technology Review Magazine. The basic premise is that an early stage start-up from the Uni of Massachusetts has come up with a way to convert cellulosic biomass into 5 of the chemical components of gasoline. I have reproduced the article for information below:…

Dirt POWER! Discontinuous Fuel-cell Power for Electric Automobiles
I was inspired quite a lot by the an activity in our Learn3 segment: Lebone. The idea of using a microbial fuel cell (MCF) is fantastic. For example, in Canada, we have a lot of dirt! To be able to leverage the dirt around us to make power would be fantastic. So I am going to extend the Lebone idea to create this idea:

Future Energy = Nontoxic. Renewable. Free. Exponential.
If the way I feel right now is anywhere near the realm of plausibility, then I think I might have had an idea that would change the way the economy is run. I'm copy-pasting the seed article below just in case it gets taken down in the future, but you can find the original posting at http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/35466087/.
When I saw this I had probably the exact same reaction as someone who saw the…

The food actually tasted fresher than in the past and was easy to keep fueled.Dad was very proud of the solar hybrid…See More

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More
