Highway agency in UK has proposed to dim the street lights during less busy timings in a bid to save energy and reduce carbon emissions. Research will begin soon to determine the best time bracket in which the lights could be dimmed without compromising security on A roads. “The level of light reduction will be based upon internationally agreed standards and made in consultation with the UK’s... 

German designers Andreas Meinhardt and Daniel Abendroth have created a robot concept “Hagent” which stores heat and if you are feeling cold, comes near you and shares it heat with you to keep you warm. The robot looks like a black box which moves around and has heat sensors inside it. The sensors help robot to identify hot places and extract heat out of it. The heat acquired is stored in... 

Bob Stonerock, a retired nephrologist successfully managed to not only charge his Chevrolet Volt 2012 for free for two months using solar energy but also managed to earn money for its down payment by selling the generated electricity to Orlando Utilities Commission (OUC). He made 5600 US$ in two months, enough for his Volt that cost him 46,000 US$. The Chevrolet Volt is an extended-range electric vehicle... 

While wind turbines will be all green, renewable source of energy but one recent incident suggests they aren’t totally safe. The incident happened at Androssan, North Ayrshire, Scotland, an area that faced winds up to 160 miles per hour. The operators of this wind farm, Ifinis from Edinburgh, UK said that the cause of explosion isn’t known yet and are investigating so as why the turbine... 

Scientists at Michigan University are working to develop batteries that could last longer and are environment friendly. Their battery is actually a combination of capacitor and battery (half portion stores charge chemically and other one acts like a capacitor). The presence of two types of charge holding mechanisms enhances the storage and prevents leakage of charges as the negatively charged plate... 

Work has begun to cover the 1886-built bridge which is a part of new Blackfriars Railway Station, London. 6000 metres square of photovoltaic solar panels will be installed giving 900,000 kWh of electric energy each year. This will account for the 50% of station’s energy consumption and reduce Carbon Dioxide emissions by 511 tonnes per year. The installation will cost around £7.3m,funded by the... 

Efforts are being made to develop lighting solutions for the future which will replace the traditional Edison bulb, fluorescent bulbs and LED based lights and displays. It might not be far when the Edison’s incandescent bulb or fluorescent bulbs become a thing of past as the new technology developed at University of Florida, which extracts lights from invisible quantum dots, right from the heart...

Ford, in collaboration with SunPower, will be offering a package that includes Electric Vehicle (EV) + Rooftop Solar Panel for the buyers of EV. The panel will cost about 10,000 US$ more after tax rebate. According to Ford, the 2.5kW rooftop solar panel will generate about 3,000kWh/year to charge an EV so as to drive around 1,000 miles a month. The “Drive Green for Life”, which EVs are... 

Wind Turbines are one of the most green sources of energy in the world. (Note this turbine in the picture isn't the one being talked about in the article) Japan is a densely populated country, and that makes the Japanese market difficult compared with other markets. If we use the possibility of near shore installations or even offshore installations in the future, which will give us the possibility...
