Parasolar Makes Your Picnic Perfect
Is very good that once in a while you go out on a picnic and now it can be more fun because Oded Shorer develop a nice green concept. The concept is called Parasolar and it provides power for lights and to charge devices, as well as heating and cooling for your “luggage”.
The Parasolar has [...]
Wind-Lit Powered LEDs
If you were thinking to buy some fancy LEDs, I know that will be attracted by these new Wind-Lit Solar LEDs. The lighting is very cool and the power for the LEDs comes from renewable energies - solar and wind power. As they are hanged outside during daylight, they will harvest energy and all night [...]

Plastic Solar Cells Will Be Available Soon
The major trouble with the solar energy market is that most people across the Globe don`t want or can`t afford to pay that high initial fee, despite the obvious future benefits of changing the ‘fuel’.
Researchers from the United States and Austria are very close to solve this matter, as they announced significant progress toward the [...]
Flying Mini-Robot Based On Solar Cells
A cool mini-robot designed and built by James Watt, but the best thing about this robotic insect is the fact that it flaps his wings with power coming from the sun. The dragonfly includes several solar cells and some electronic circuits. Interesting looking concept but this is not the only one from James. Can’t wait [...]

Japans Builds Space Systems To Produce Energy
The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, or shortly JAXA, is Japan’s national aerospace agency and its purpose is to develop and launch satellites into orbit. Their latest project consists of developing space solar systems which send power and energy to the earth.
On February 20th they will begin testing the microwave power transmission which is destined to beam to earth, through a 2.4-meter rectifying antenna, [...]
Raindrops Could Generate Power
In a world desperate to find new ways of producing energy, Jean-Jacques Chaillout of the Atomic Energy Commission in Grenoble, France, found a new way to produce it. According to his tests, piezoelectric materials are perfect in generating power when the raindrops hit them. The amount of energy created depends on how big are the [...]
