Dear Germany, When You Get To The Green Future, Please Throw The Rest Of Us A Rope!
Hailing from Freiburg, Germany, Rolf Disch is a renowned architect that has put his little city front and center on the eco-map. Literally transforming Freiburg into Germany’s eco-capital where about 35% of residents don’t own a car and new homes routinely incorporate photovoltaic panels. And now, a popular destination for tourist world-wide seeking the reality of sustainable architecture and the inspiration for better eco-friendly housing options for their future. (more…)
Advantage Window Systems, Inc. became the owner of IN’FLECOR Control Systems in April of 1999 and moved the company from Canada to Aledo, Texas, just west of Fort Worth, Texas.
They now are manufacturing the world’s first magnetic reversible solar panel that could heat in the winter, keep your home cooler in the summer, keep your furniture and carpet from fading from the UV’s, and cut the UV’s by up to 92%. A see through Insulating Panel mounted to the inside of windows, doors or skylights. The panel is manufactured of a metalized, coated, polyethylene sheet laminated to a sheet of carbon graphite PVC that is then perforated and laminated to a sheet of clear polyester. (more…)
Concentrating Solar Power (CSP) is emerging as one of the most promising sources of renewable energy for the 21st century. Tessera Solar International, headquartered in Houston, Texas, (Tessera Solar International, based in London, United Kingdom), will develop, build, operate and own large-scale solar power plants around the world, using the new SunCatcher Solar Dish Stirling System, developed by Tessera’s sister company, Stirling Energy, Inc. (SES), headquartered in Phoenix, Arizona. (more…)
Bullet trains are already considered a greener mode of transport that greatly curbs greenhouse emissions while cutting down on our reliance on pollution belching cars and airplanes, not to mention reducing the choke-hold OPEC and big oil have on everybody on this planet and the planet itself.

The Honeywell Wind Turbine eliminates traditional wind turbine gear box, shaft and generators. The Honeywell Wind Turbine is a gearless, “free wheeling’’ turbine that generates power from the blade tips (where the speed lies) rather than through a complex slow center shaft. By practically eliminating mechanical resistance and drag, the Honeywell Wind Turbine creates significant power (2000 kWh/yr) operating in a greater range of wind speeds (2-45 mph) than traditional wind turbines. The highest output, lowest cost per kWh installed turbine ever made. So powerful, so simple.
The price is coming down along with getting all parts needed for a full installation. None of this one piece at a time routine. So, bottom line, this one has the biggest bang for your buck!
Have you stood near a roadway and been buffeted by the gusts of wind from passing cars, or nearly knocked over by the force of wind from a big rig truck? That is energy gone to waste ….. until now. Mark Oberholzer, a professor of landscape architecture at Rice University in Houston, proposes installing small vertical-axis wind turbines (Darius turbines), inside the concrete highway dividers to generate power. Utilizing the wind energy created by passing traffic. (more…)
