| First Solar-Powered Speedboat | | 2008-06-15 12:59:42 | | The world’s first solar-powered speedboat Czeers Credit: CzeersRecently was announced that two Dutch researchers at the Technical University of Delft - Nils Beers and David Czap managed to develop the world's first solar-powered speedboat Czeers MK1. (a combination of their last names makes Czeers, pronounced "Cheers").The speedboat was made from 100% black carbon fiber and covered with 150 square feet (14 square meters) of solar cells. The solar vehicle can approximately reach a top speed of 30 knots (about 35 miles / hour or 55.5 km/ph). The solar powered motor allows the boat to operate quite gentle. The whole décor is luxurious: the boat has a LCD touch-screen control system and a fine leather interior. The approximate price is seven hundred thousand euro, or about $1.1 million.Sources: FoxNews & Uberreview | | By: Solar Energy - Green Lifestyle for You | | |
| | The Flight of Solar-Powered Aircraft Helios | | 2008-06-13 06:52:25 | | Here is a video showing compilation of test flights of the solar-powered, remotely piloted NASA's Helios aircraft.Helios set out from Kauai in the Hawaiian Islands before 9:00 AM on Monday, August 13, 2001. Just over seven hours later, it reached 96,500 feet. Flying at about 25 miles an hour, the mission lasted nearly 17 hours, landing at 1:43 a.m. August 14, 2001This was the first time a non-rocket powered aircraft has maintained flight this far above the earth. At this altitude above ground the sky is almost black, stars shine in the daytime, and the horizon looks curved.Helios was an ultralight flying wing built by AeroVironment Inc, as a part of NASA's Environmental Research Aircraft and Sensor Technology (ERAST) project. Covered with solar cells, Helios' impressive 247 foot wide wing exceeds the wing span and even overall length of a Boeing 747 jet airliner. Helios had about 62,000 solar cells across the wing.

| | Solar-Powered Workspace Desk - No more dungy cubicles! | | 2008-05-09 17:19:38 | | Though you may find it hard to believe, there are many people who love their jobs, but it's the location of where they do their job that can make the task unpleasant. Cubicles and offices can get very dull and dark, the artificial lighting does not help much, nor do the artificial plants! Research shows that a little daylight, fresh air, and greenery would do wonders to a workers mentality and perhaps even increase work productivity. What if there was a way to actualy make this happen? Before...

| Japan pays huge price for not going green, renewable and solar powered | | 2008-05-05 03:13:00 | | Japan is one of the wealthiest and the most organized countries in the world, especially if we consider the size of its population at 128 million.Japan's transport system simply shines and incredibly outperforms any other country. Japan is truly a technological, knowledge and financial Super Power.Japan is a world leader in high technologies, but it has totally failed in the department of renewable energy sources, such as solar power, wind power, geothermal, ocean power, hydrogen etc.Japanese corporations are the biggest producers and exporters of wind farms, solar photovoltaic devices, such as solar cells, solar panels, solar shingles, solar heat collectors, but their own applications of renewable in Japan are far bellow world standards for similarly developed economies. Even their National Plan of introducing renewable energy sources is very far bellow European counterparts and shockingly surprising for such a technologically developed economy.It seems, that public sector in Japan is | | By: Solar Shingles | | |

| | | Solar powered shingles are forgotten treasure of our society | | 2008-03-27 08:16:00 | | Many years ago scientists invented and developed the first solar power cell for use in program of space exploration. Solar cells have allowed to harvest unlimited resources of solar power in our solar system in the form of direct production of electricity. They put many solar cells together on one wider surface and got solar panels. Larger is the surface of the solar panel, higher is the amount of electricity produced.There are very many power consuming devices in every modern satellite, which need uninterrupted power supply for their work. Solar panels and batteries for storing electric energy, produced in solar panels, formed a very successful combination for addressing problems of energy production in space.The modern age of solar power has arrived by an accidental event in Bell Laboratories in 1954. More than 50 years after this 'Solar Power Breakthrough' we are still not using endless resources of free solar power, as we should have to. Solar is free and everywhere.Direct investme | | By: Solar Shingles | | |
| | No Pics Yet But Solar Powered Cell Phone Battery Out | | 2008-03-11 14:56:00 | | No Pics Yet But Solar Powered Cell Phone Battery Out
One of the main reasons why I’m holding off on buying the new Nokia N95 is because I don’t want to get frustrated every time I run out of batteries while I’m on the road. I consider myself a power user and I know for sure that with all the features the N95 is packing under the hood, I’ll suck the batteries dry before I’m even halfway home.

| | Solar-Powered Rickshaws Soon To Emerge In India And Other Asian Countries | | 2008-02-26 20:37:14 | | An auto-rickshaw is one of the chief modes of transportation in India. Unlike the traditional rickshaw that is pulled by a driver to run, an auto-rickshaw is powered by a motor. However, records show that 2-stroke engines allow it to run at 15 to 20 kilometers per hour, plus its stop or start mode causes greater amounts of pollutants than vehicles with four-stroke engines.For that reason, BlueBird Electric Racing Limited, a company that develops battery, motor, hybrid and other systems that in | | By: of skylab and rickshaws | | |

| | New KITT’s “Solar Powered Hybrid Engine” TV ad | | 2008-01-28 22:49:19 | | Recently, I told you the new KITT, in the upcoming Knight Rider TV movie, would have a solar powered hybrid engine. NBC is showing a TV commercial highlighting this green feature. You can watch video of the TV commercial below the fold. The ad also mentions that the new KITT has 550 horsepower and race-tuned suspension standard.As AutoblogGreen reader CARazed reminds us, the first KITT was actually very green too. According to Wikipedia, the first KITT used liquid hydrogen in a turbine engine and got 100 MPG. The new KITT is based on Ford's Mustang Shelby Cobra, which is not a hybrid. In reality, Ford's only hybrid is the Escape SUV. If you want a green, all-electric Mustang, check this out.Stay tuned for a review of the movie after it airs February 17th.[Source: NBC] | | By: Auto News: Car Reviews, Car News, Car Shows | | |
| | | A Solar Powered Tent! | | 2007-05-20 18:00:19 | | Eureka! has produced a tent which gets charged up on sun! It comes with an LED unit you place on the outside during the day for 8 hours, and it will provide you with 8 hours of light at night.
This idea seems like a good one, but there are lots of solar powered head lamps and lanterns that could provide the same amount of light at night. Also, keeping nylon tents in the direct sun all day can weaken the material. However, if you are they type to forget things when you camp, having a built in light supply means there’s one less thing you’ll be likely to forget.
Unless you forget the tent!
This model sleeps 5-6 and costs $229.95.

| | Motorola Launches Wind and Solar Powered Network | | 2007-05-17 00:00:11 | | Motorola Inc has launched the world’s first wind and solar powered wireless network in Namibia.
This program is a trial run to see if running cellular phone and other wireless systems running on alternative energy is a feasible plan for other, more concentrated markets. (Like ours!)
Motorola writes
This solution provides comprehensive voice and data communications using an efficient and reliable alternative to the costly roll out of electricity in remote areas. It is an ideal solution for both emerging and developed markets, providing cost-effective, environmentally friendly power to enable wireless communications to a wider audience.
Motorola believes that Namibia’s lack of technological infrastructure, but tons of sun, environmentally conscious government and growing economy is the perfect place to launch the pilot project. MTC is partnering with the GSM Association to implement this project.
If this project succeeds, maybe I’ll finally consider getting a cell phon | | By: Zedomax | | |
