Eco Factor: Forests in the sky to absorb harmful CO2 from the upper atmosphere. Reading the simple laws of physics will make you understand that hot air is lighter than cold air, and all the harmful CO2 released from factory chimneys doesn’t have an immediate effect on the people living on the ground. The exhaust gases are hot, hence they lift and stay in the upper part of the atmosp 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: Solar and wind powered habitat made from recycled materials. If anti-pollution measures don’t get the importance they should, then our planet is sure to enter a world where the difference between fish and humans will be minimized. Scientists are of the opinion that global warming has already started, and in the not too distant future, we may witness many species becoming 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 »

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 »
