There’s Methane Coming From Those Lakes

October 19, 2010 | 2 Comments

With no great surprise researchers at the Swiss Federal Institute of Aquatic Science and Technology found that substantial amounts of the greenhouse gas methane (natural gas) releases not only from large tropical reservoirs but also from run-of-the-river reservoirs in cool high mountainous Switzerland.  Its been known that warm reservoirs with a supply of organic matter [...]

The Incredible Global Warming Scam Gets Hit Again

October 18, 2010 | 30 Comments

For the scientifically adept and honest people global warming is a huge embarrassment.  Not only have the main base perpetrators been caught but also the institutions that house their activities have gone deep into the coverup.  It’s just too much money to let integrity rule their actions.  The global warming scheme has tens of thousands [...]

The Newest Most Versatile Fuel Cell System Runs on Diesel

October 15, 2010 | 9 Comments

Using biodiesel as well as regular diesel in a fuel cell is for many an incredible idea. The Research Council of Norway’s RENERGI program Technical Director Dag Øvrebø is developing a new type of electric power supply unit with core components of a smart diesel reformer and a tolerant fuel cell. The system is environmentally [...]

New Materials For Low Cost Solar Cells

October 14, 2010 | 2 Comments

Just this Monday past we saw that North Carolina State researchers had zeroed in on just what is holding up the exciton in a polymer photovoltaic solar cell.  Then as if by serendipity Rutgers let loose their announcement they have found a new material. Rutgers physicists have discovered new properties in a material that could [...]

Biodiesel Might Make a Worthwhile Contribution

October 12, 2010 | 9 Comments

According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a branch of the Department of Energy, biodiesel “represents a significant energy resource and could someday supply 3 percent to 5 percent of the distillate fuel market.”  That assertion requires a lot more technology for getting from raw materials to fuel products. Brown University assistant professor of chemistry [...]

The Low Cost Solar Cell Could Get Much Better

October 11, 2010 | 6 Comments

A team of researchers from North Carolina State University and the U.K. has found that the low rate of energy conversion in all-polymer photovoltaic solar-cell technology is caused by the structure of the solar cells themselves. Dr. Harald Ade, professor of physics at NCSU explains, “Solar cells have to be simultaneously thick enough to absorb [...]

Maximum Solar Cell Efficiency With Frog Foam

October 8, 2010 | 14 Comments

A synthesized foam, inspired by the Tungara frog (Engystomops pustulosus), which creates long-lasting foam nests to protect its tadpoles, containing all enzymes necessary to complete synthesized photosynthesis, can convert 96% of all sunlight which falls on it into sugars. Dr David Wendell, an assistant professor of biomedical engineering and civil and environmental engineering at the [...]
