As nowadays a grave alarm is buzzing against dousing energy resources, we are in a continuous course of carving novel green paths in order to preserve prevailing nonrenewable sources. It is worth here to mention that our human intellect is so spiky and witty that we curtly get a way out of every hitch. Corroborating this is the most recent transformation which we are commencing in our fitness centers on an outsized scale. This modernization is particularly brought in to offset the mounting energy crisis, as in these gyms the human calories scalded per hour by working out would actually engender equivalent watts of electrical energy for powering up the rooms.

Accordingly “The Green Micro gym” in Portland has thought-out adopting this green concept in their gymnasium as well. Basically the mechanism generating energy via exercising is quoted as ‘Human Dynamo’ and it is clasping exactly four spine bikes enclosing weed whacker motors which in turn are coupled to a mini generator.

So to power up surroundings that generator would produce around 75 watts of energy on hourly basis which would unravel our gym’s electricity fix to a large extent. Undoubtedly, this project of conserving electricity by exploiting human power seems to be an inevitable accomplishment in futuristic world.

Startling is this fact about solar power that, just about an hour of sunlight hitting the Earth’s surface is sufficient to fulfill the power needs of humans for an entire year!!! However, we know that if our systems were that efficient how much power we could generate with the sun rays coming down on our planet for the whole year. Besides expensive silicon components of a photovoltaic panel and low system efficiency, till now our knowledge on the mechanism behind solar storage was also limited. Bugged by the twin factors of inefficiency and expense a MIT professor Daniel Nocera undertook an exhaustive research at the end of (which he believes) his team has unlocked the ‘nirvana of energy’.The Henry Dreyfus Professor of Energy, Prof. Nocera has made a discovery that may change the way we have so far used solar power through PV cells. Being inspired by green plants that photosynthesize and store solar energy all the time in them, Prof. Nocera has developed a simple method to split H2O molecules.

The end products being Oxygen and Hydrogen gases. The hydrogen thus produced may then store the solar energy. His study has resulted in the emergence of a new catalyst. The latter consists of phosphate, cobalt metal, and an electrode. This new catalyst is easy to set-up and works on neutral pH at normal room temperature.When the catalyst is placed in water and current is run through the electrode, oxygen gas is produced. When another catalyst is used to produce hydrogen gas, the oxygen and hydrogen combine inside a fuel cell, creating carbon-free electricity.

This simple set up can be used to power a house or an electric car irrespective of time (day or night). The whole set up can be duplicated in large numbers to harness the abundant sunshine bestowed to us by Mother Nature. Whether this clean technology will massively cut down the energy requirements of mankind is yet to be explored. But one this is for sure, this discovery has opened new avenues in the commercial usage of solar power.

Originally invented by researchers from the Agrarian University of Nicaragua and Spain’s University of Lérida this machine is presently accommodated in the Agrarian University of Nicaragua’s Department of Animal Sciences.

It is nothing but a freshly installed milk pasteurizing machine that could be powered purely by sunlight charged panels. Earlier people who used to boil unpasteurized milk would promptly hit upon this machine to get rid of superfluous parasites while meeting international health standards. Here in this application, the milk is warmed up to a temperature of 185° Fahrenheit or we can say 85° Centigrade by means of a mechanical system which gets powered from solar panels. Nowadays, the machine is being utilized to prepare cheese and many other dairy products.

One remarkable point regarding this mechanism is that via the design techniques available on internet, we could be able to make up this piece of equipment our own way. This venture costing around 40,000 dollars which was accomplished largely over internet got supported by Center on International Cooperation.
This green technology could also bring out profitable export business probabilities for milk products. As by evaluation, it is proved that 12 to 14% of greenhouse gases come out of milk production process, consequently this ecofriendly concept would help diminish the carbon emissions produced through milk pasteurizing. Accordingly, this expertise appears to be an exclusive power economical and emission less solution for milk decontamination.

This model producing 240 liters of milk in just six hours is likely to be a winner in approaching point in time and would undeniably rule worldwide.

The Sun is rising in political spheres! Valuing the sun as renewable source of clean solar power, the EU supergrid gets a crucial political backing from UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown and French President Nicolas Sarkozy. It is jointly decided now that the vast desert of Sahara would be the land where dozens of solar farms will be constructed as a part of the $71 Billion EU supergrid infrastructure. The latter is an initiative taken by the European Commission to meet the continent’s electricity demands in future. The clean power generated by this supergrid will be shared by all the EU countries.
It is projected that each farm of the supergrid will generate upto 200 Megawatts of power. This would then be transferred to EU states via high voltage DC transmission, which is a better option over AC lines. The energy loss incurred over long distances is much lesser when DC lines are used. The decision to build solar panels in Sahara originates from the simple fact that the desert receives intense sunlight throughout year which can be effectively harnessed.

 According to an estimate PhotoVoltaic panels installed in Sahara will be 3 times more energy efficient (in terms of electricity generation) than those fitted in the European countries.
The project’s success will effectively reconfirm that solar power will be the most potent among renewable energy sources which also include wind and geothermal powers.
