Forced Green

Research and development in the area of OLED’s has been fast and furious
in the past few years. Numerous universities and corporations have leaped on
this exciting green innovation. OLEDs are organic light-emitting diodes,
organic because it relies on carbon-based polymers and molecules rather than
inorganic semiconductors such as silicon (like the standard LED.

Even the U.S. Department of Energy has jumped into the fray, which reports
approximately 22 percent of the electricity consumed in the United States goes
toward lighting. It’s a $58-billion-a-year bill and growing.  Through its
solid-state lighting research program, the energy department hopes to develop
commercially acceptable lights that will need 50 percent less electricity Read more…

What if you had a car that made its own fuel? Dr. Jerry Woodall at Purdue University,
accidentally found a way. One day while doing semiconductor experiments in his lab, he
melted aluminum and gallium. When he added water to clean the melt out, he got a big
poof of steam and hydrogen.

Hydrogen on demand!

With this alloy you don’t have to worry about becoming a flaming rocket on the highway.
This stuff is safe to move around and has a high energy content and can be converted
into hydrogen when you need it.

You will just buy a tank full of pellets and plug it into your car. Add water and
away you go. It will reduce our dependency on foreign oil. The raw materials
(aluminum ore) is located in the United States. For instance, the southwest.

Dr. Woodall is now working on getting golf carts running utilizing this method.

Man, stuff like this just gives me goosebumps!
