Eco Factor: Scientists discover new catalyst that can enhance ethanol’s oxidation.

Hydrogen fuel cells are taken as the most feasible fuel cells that can fuel the world long after fossil fuels are no longer to be seen. However, the production and transportation of hydrogen is not as efficient as it needs to be. Without waiting for technology to improve and make hydrogen read more »

Eco Factor: Five-point tidal energy scheme to provide green electricity. The British government has shortlisted five ingenious solutions to provide green electricity to about 5% of urban homes in the UK. The ÂŁ8billion project comprises five sub-projects to harness the 12 yard tides, twice a day in the Severn Estuary. The energy till now was going to waste, but if the project comes to read more »

Eco Factor: Solar-powered portable mobile charging station. Earlier today we witnessed the launch of a mobile trailer-mounted generator that provides green and clean electricity for events and weddings. The product was great but failed on the portability aspect. Industrial designer Jose Merla Laguna has designed a similar concept that makes sure that solar energy for you is as portab read more »

Eco Factor: Solar-powered LED lights for multiple uses. Industrial designer Robert Lipinski, the designer of solar street lights we showcased on EcoFriend earlier, is currently installing solar lights manufactured by Italian manufacturer Luceplan on the pathways of a park in Mali. The lights known as “Sky” have been designed by Alfredo Häberli and rely on the energy of the sun to pow read more »

Eco Factor: Solar-powered lantern concept. Just replacing the conventional grid system with PVs for electricity is not the only solution to reduce electricity consumption. Go through this lighting design, a portable solar lantern, which along with PVs has a special reflector to enhance light angle to an optimal level. The body is made up of steel, and instead of normal lighting bulbs read more »

Eco Factor: Core-Shell Silicon Nanowires can improve the capacity of Li-Ion batteries. Technologies of the future will depend more on portable power sources than on anything else. The performance of these batteries needs to be considerably improved to keep the promise of a better and fossil-fuel free world of tomorrow. Researchers from Stanford University claim to have fixed most of read more »

Eco Factor: Wind turbine inspecting robot. Recently news surfaced that a wind turbine in England was hammered by an alien spacecraft. We don’t want to unravel any answers to the ET mystery here, but we just want to acknowledge the fact that wind turbines have always been subjected to degradation which can any day result in a catastrophe. Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute for Fa read more »

Eco Factor: Highly-efficient wind turbine design. FloDesign Wind Turbine has developed a new turbine design that could generate electricity at half the cost of conventional wind turbine. The design has been inspired from jet engines and avoids the wind losses associated with wind turbines. Normally, when wind strikes a turbine, about half of the wind is forced around the blades and t read more »
