The University of Delaware has inched up the record for solar cell efficiency with a new device that can convert 42.8 percent of the light that strikes it into electricity. That beats the old record of 40.7 percent hit in December. The Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, or DARPA, has been funding research to get … Read more
Technologies collectively known as concentrating photovoltaics are starting to enjoy their day in the sun, thanks to advances in solar cells, which absorb light and convert it into electricity, and the mirror- or lens-based concentrator systems that focus light on them. The technology could soon make solar power as cheap as electricity from the grid. … Read more
n Europe, the electric bike is now the fastest-growing category of bikes in terms of sales. You can buy the less expensive electric bikes at certain Wal-Marts and Target stores. You can also order them on-line or through a bike shop. Electric bicycles are gaining in popularity around the world, not only as a way … Read more
China’s bicycle industry has been developed rapidly. In 2006, the total bicycle output has reached 85 million across the country with the export of 56 million, which accounted for 70 percent of the world bicycle trade volume. Electric bicycle industry has grown rapidly during the recent five years, and the annual sales reached 19.5 million … Read more
Fortunately there are people that have ventured beyond the question of whether the refrigerator light actually goes off when the door is closed. And they have developed a more energy efficient lighting system for refrigerator cabinets. Now you might be asking: “Why is his a priority? Did they conclude it stays on?” The new LED … Read more

Prior to the OPEC Embargo of the 1970s, Dubai was a fishing village. When our politicians were killing off the alternative energy programs during that same decade, there began a wholesale transfer of wealth out of the United States. Now that the equity draw-down is almost complete, your elected representatives want you to believe that … Read more
The Turgo turbine is an impulse type turbine; water does not change pressure as it moves through the turbine blades. The water’s potential energy is converted to kinetic energy with a nozzle. The high speed water jet is then directed on the turbine blades which deflect and reverse the flow. The resulting impulse spins the … Read more
Pax Scientific, a US technology company, has developed a fan technology based on the logarithmic spiral found in seashells. The fan offers huge energy savings and is a great deal quieter than most other fans. See a video explanation by Janine Benyus of the Biomimicry Guild. Watch Video AEVIA Reveals the Source
Ferrocement is a technique that combines the flexibility of iron (steel) and the resistance of cement. It facilitates the building of many interesting forms: round, circular; globular, spherical; cylindrical; curved … and straight and angular of course. Here this is being used to construct a water treatment tank in EcoOca – Brazil. [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U7IGsG0TzUo] AEVIA
