I’m thrilled to see more and more alternative energy examples cropping up around the globe. Global warming or not, using finite resources is simply unwise esp. when these pollute our world. Society, progress, change needs to be motivated by something other than money … suppose that’s the reason why it’s so easy for developing countries […]
Highway in the Sky

CBS news interviewed one innovator, the founder of Moller International, which is probably the most sophisticated flying machine available today, one that will allow automated navigation and flight using the HITS system.

First Solar Aircraft to Fly 26 Hours
The solar-powered aircraft Solar Impulse landed successfully after demonstrating its capability to fly through a full day-and-night cycle, powered and charged only the the sun.

On top of that, I’m a bit cynical about how long it takes our government to build or rebuild an infrastructure unless we do it ourselves. Developed by […]
Purifying Water for the Masses
.. a multi-purpose machine which is solar powered, purifies water, stores hydrogen for energy use, … with a price tag of 95,000$ this is a solution meant more for disaster areas, relief efforts, etc. Take a look.
