On one hand India is known for its beautiful nature of changing weather conditions, on other it is seen as a troublesome issue. When we synthetically heat or cool our surroundings suiting our body requirement, we happen to be ignored about the temperature outside and thus become the victim of its adverse conditions.

And we realize when we have to regret carrying our wrong attire. Considering this natural problem, a solar outdoor thermometer is being devised that keeps an actual check of temperature outside, in both Celsius and Fahrenheit. Its very nature of being eco-friendly is due to its entire dependence upon on solar energy. It has a built-in LED bulb that enables you decode the reading even in dim.

Wow was my obvious utterance after seeing this coupe model b y Toyota. The first look presents its tough and sturdy appeal by maintaining its elegance, which is a big asset. A deep peek into the car proved it to be the best deal who desire to ride on not-too-smooth roads and carry their world along. If I have to condense it then it seems more of a multi-purpose truck rather than a car. It is known as A-Bat Concept.

Measuring 4 meters in length, the communter’s length can be extended by more 2 meters by pulling the rear seats. It also gives you an access to the super-cool Wi-Fi connectivity allowing you to play your favorite beats when driving. An AC/DC battery assures plugging in all from gadgetry reliant. Touted as a Hybrid car, the built-in solar panels saves fuel earning it a tag of complete eco-friendly belonging. It is all geared up to be flaunted at the upcoming Detroit Auto Show.

Those who reckon that LED lights cannot spread enough light in your four boundaries, their minds need a dialysis. The news is that researches has lately discovered a way of making LED lights much more brighter without eating additional power.

This would happen by digging microscopic holes within the shell of the LEDs, thereby increasing their brightness by consuming same energy. A technique called nano-imprint lithography is being identified by the researchers at the University of Glasgow that would enable them to engrave minuscule holes on to the LEDs, permitting more flow of light. Besides respecting the energy consumption, LEDs are much smaller and have a long life.

It is been said that ‘great minds think alike’ but I think it needs an amendment or rather an addition. ‘Great minds think alike and meet the same doom fate.’ Yah, if you sit and recall all great innovations made till date, you will realize they have to bear the critical comments passed and digest the tag of being outrageously crazy with no purpose. But mind you they are not at fault as the general public has become habitual to castigate whatever comes without taking the pain of doing certain R& D over it. Call those minds scientific or artistic, they know their destiny. I know surfacing my opinion on this critical topic is not easy therefore I would love to shield myself by exemplifying the invention made by Harold Hay (98) almost 40 years ago.

Don’t label me insane for bringing forth 40-year-old deal but idea is to do justice to the great mind who found the way to warm and cool the temperature of your dwelling via using technique called Skytherm. Mind you it has nothing to do with your much-in-se ACs. Without using electricity, it has the tendency monitor the room temperature. To my much-surprise, it is not solar power but water that acts as a prop for Harold.

The only glitch identified is with the design that demands every home needs to be reconstructed from its roots for its effective working. True, it is not an easy task and also cribbing had it been 40 years back won’t give us any solution. Let’s accept reality and calculate the permutations and combination of the cost factors involved. Rightly said is the fact that science doesn’t aim to set thing right on the first go but making effort till you get it right. It applies well on Harold’s creation as even today if it gets worthy welcome from us then he will feel himself the blessed one and won’t die with the regret of burial of his invention with his body. I wish some great follower is thinking to materialize this concept.

With the passage of time, conventional sources of energy have been seen as the most debatable issue. When the petroleum coffers available are getting parched, the utilization of these fossil fuels is also inviting critical eyes from the well-wishers of this land. But regardless of emerging negative aspects involved, one cannot deny that we have not still identified a doable substitute to the use of fossil fuels; in major proportion at least.

We continue blaming renewable sources of energy or complain about non-renewable sources. Coal is a reasonably found in abundance than petrol but the issue involved is that it discharges enormous quantity of CO2 in to the air. Knowingly, we carried on its usage in setting up thermal power plants but it’s high time when people should look for an innovative way to slash out on the emanation.

Considering the issue, the FutureGen has inked a deal with the US Energy Department to install a new coal power plant that will make 0% carbon emissions. While their very claim aroused my curiosity, a deep peep into the project made me familiar to the real projection of its working. To be installed in Illinois, the plant will send the carbon emissions produced deep into the earth and the ordinary environment would trap CO2 for eternity. It won’t burn the coal but would gasify it in order to diminish on carbon emissions. I still have doubts attached for dumping CO2 as earlier also we have made attempts and had to face its side-effects as the functioning of the planet is till not known. Wish you luck guys!

It may sound ironical but true. Whilst on one hand China together with India rebuffed to ink the Bali draft deal to cut carbon emissions, on other Chinese national has made an effort to lay down the first ever-contemporary bamboo bridge. This draws a gray line of difference between the hierarchies defined by top bureaucrats pretentious enough to contribute for a greener world and ground level ordinary men who know the way to reach their targets.

Initiated by the School of Civil Engineering of Hunan University, a year of R&D and trial & error went into grousing up the strength of the bamboo organization that ultimately became the viaduct as it was commenced formally on the 12 January. The bridge underwent the testing period with its first cargo of 8.6 tones. The bridge is said to be capable of shipping around 90 tones of inert mass. Now comes your way for its critical analyses. Will it be durable enough? Well, the bridge has already cleared the test as it has a life-value of 20 years. Also, it is budgeted than any concrete bridge available and the credit goes to its cheap bamboo.
