Eco Factor: Zero-emission vehicles powered by hydrogen fuel cells. In urban areas, most vehicles used for daily transportation are just occupied by one person. Taking advantage of this fact, industrial designer Daniel Julier has designed the 3Wheeler, which according to its name is a three-wheeled vehicle with a single rear wheel. The 3Wheeler is a 1+1 seat concept, read more »

Eco Factor: Concept three-wheeler powered by a zero-emission hydrogen engine. Concept car designer AndrĂ© Fangueiro believes that traveling on a congested urban highway can be made much more interesting with cars that are different, compact and above all ecofriendly. The same has been showcased in a concept car which Fangueiro calls the “Caravela.” 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 »

Researchers at the Oregon State University College of Engineering have discovered an efficient way to produce hydrogen from different types of biowaste, including municipal sewage. The process uses 75% less energy than the traditional water electrolysis method of producing hydrogen, and can be done at a much lower cost, making it a good candidate for hydrogen fuel production. read more »

Eco Factor: Raser Technologies’ geothermal project to provide 10MW of green power. We all want our houses to be powered by solar panels and wind turbines, but apart from their dependence on local climatic conditions, the high installation price of both these technologies has kept them away from global adoption. Until future technology delivers cheap and efficient solar panels and win read more »

Eco Factor: Wave powered hydroelectric generator. Efforts have always been made to harness the tremendous power of the ocean waves, be it tidal generators or ocean wave turbines, all generators prove to be an expensive way to generate green electricity. Searaser is one such generator that can provide green electricity at an affordable cost using the same power of the ocean waves. read more »
