  • Joshwolf shared a picture MEET LEVI 5 months ago

    MEET LEVIThrough extensive testing I've performed over the last 2 months, I've concluded that the method of Low Energy Voltaic Impulse(LEVI) destroys specific protein channels along the cell wall membrane, allowing for lipid bodies (and some cytoplasmic fluids) to be secreted by the cell. By pumping this device with 120 gallons of water I was able to produce 4.35 Liters of lipid bodies which converted to 4.1 Liters of diesel fuel via transesterification. To run down 2 D cell batteries, I needed to perform this test 82 times producing just over 90 gallons of diesel fuel, and the lowest cost fuel conversion price of $0.03

      Josh have you computed how many gallons of water total you would need to grow enough botryococcus for a continuous supply of ripe algae to be processed by LEVI. In other words how many gallons of water would you need to process that 90 gallons continuously?

  • Deals for 'new generation' renewable technologies – wind, solar, biomass - are entering the big time driving the market to new record highs, reports PwC in its annual global analysis of merger and acquisition (M&A) transactions in the renewable sector.

    Some of the main points include:

    • Total renewables deal value leaps 40% worldwide, driven by industry shake-out

    • Reappraisal of nuclear post Fukushima gives extra boost to renewables' generation and prospects

  • With the growing importance of alternative energy sources to reduce carbon footprints, and to promote sustainability, there has been a growing emphasis on the use of renewable sources of energy like Solar and Wind among others. A good way to instil a familiarity with these technologies among people is to start young, at an age where the curiosity to try things out become the best means to learning the principles behind the technology.
    With that in mind, an education company by the name of Fourier systems based out of Israel has come up with very innovative Science Kits to work…

  • GREEN ROOF IN ST. PAULI'm creating an environmental education program at an intercity school called DIVINE Institute in St Paul, Minnesota to reach at risk students. The program will feature a $12,000 green roof equipped with solar panels, algae photo-bioreactors, and solar heating for the building. So far, I have raised $8,000 in grant funding!

    I'm looking for people interested in donating to this non-profit effort or people interested in contributing information you would like included into the curriculum, so I would love to here from you all!

  • energyNow, in this video segment, checks out how video games are being used to teach people about energy technologies and environmental concerns.

    While gaming can help individuals learn about energy use, researchers say the larger world of networked gaming enables players to work together on real-world energy solutions. “What games allow us to do is try things, to rehearse things,” said Celia Pearce, a video game designer and Georgia Tech professor.Read More: http://www.earthtechling.com/2011/12/can-video-games-solve-energy-and-environmental-concerns/

  • Recycled Play Structures Bring Joy to Schools in Rural IndiaVisiting some village schools in rural India, artist Shilpa Joglekar was struck by what she described as the "starkness in their environment" -- bare dirt lots with nowhere for kids to play. Utilizing scrap from junkyards that was plentiful in the area, she enlisted local students and teachers to build their own recycled-material play structures.

  • Dear all
    I have posted a call for participating in an international board of advisory, some few days ago. Only a couple of members have responded. So, either everybody else are very busy or, we all like the 'talk' position rather the responsible 'do' position. It is actually clear from the huge list of open subjects/ questions, yet the so few ongoing discussions in the forum. the field we are talking about is a complex of water purification and Hydrogen production/ storage. compensation upon participating is guaranteed. my email is: jeremiwater@gmail.com

      Hi everybody Following Kyzyl's comment, I would like to take this opportunity to readdress my proposal: a spin off company (not registered yet) is looking for professional people, experienced in the fields of water purification (electrolysis, bio,,,) and Hydrogen production/storage, to join an international board of advisory (as members and the chairman as well). Group activity and expanses are to be fully covered by the company (compensation, payback and options). candidates are to be either with scientific or industrial background). please mail me at: jeremiwater@gmail.com
