Well, maybe not today, but probably pretty soon. Richard Hederstierna, who hails from the Lund Institute of Technology, has created a space-age-lookin’ cooker for your microwave that does something that no one has ever dreamt of before. Maybe someone has, but no one has done it like Haderstierna. The dude has created a device that [...]
I found out early this week that the University of Stuttgart in Germany has a group of architects creative enough to come up with a first of its kind tree house. They built a unique tree house out of living trees. Known as the Baubotanical building, it is 9 meters high and 8 square meters [...]
I came across a really interesting editorial at Twilight Earth entitled “Green Wont Be The Norm, Until We Stop Calling Things Green.” Author Adam Shake goes on to say:

I recently had the urge to buy a ticket at [...]
We talk of engines having hundreds of horsepower these days and hardly stop to think about what the word “horsepower” used to mean. It’s a measure of energy – 1 horsepower is about 745 watts, or the energy that the average horse exerts on something it’s pulling.
So imagine a moment the power of a [...]
Generating energy from kinetic sources has become all the rage, thanks to a few well-documented cases of kinetic generators in the drive-through of a Burger King and in the parking lot of a supermarket. But we use and produce so much energy in the day doing ordinary things, there are so many other ways to [...]
Following GM’s 230mpg claim for the Chevy Volt, Nissan has been kicking up a storm. It claims that its new electric car, the Leaf, can get up to 367 miles to the gallon.
