Save energy
Four of the Most Dangerous Fraudulent Scientific Theories That Must Be Confronted
With threats of climatic disruption, food and energy shortages, epidemics, waves of extinctions, and other calamities looming larger every day, reports from the world of scientific research are getting plenty of attention in the media. But at times, scientific conclusions become garbled in translation, leading to widespread adoption of some bizarre beliefs.
Climate-induced earthquakes, bottomless pits of oil, pet dinosaurs and a miraculous energy source: For the sake of public policy, it’s important to debunk the lies.
Smart Street Lights Know How To Bloom
The concept Sustainable City Lights is an intelligent lighting system that harnesses solar and wind energy for itself. These are lampposts intuitive enough to beam up the LEDs only when people are around, else emit a soft glow.
Adapting itself to the environment, Sustainable City Lights mimic the opening and closing of a flower bud while harvesting the energies. Any surplus accumulated goes back to the main grid for powering other city things.
Charge your mobile phone by dancing
Orange has tapped into the energy festival-goers expend dancing and put it to work for powering up mobile phones.
The Orange Dance Charge, developed with renewable energy firm Gotwind and currently just in prototype form, weighs just 180 grams and measures 4¼ x 2½ inches—about the same size as a pack of cards and the same weight as a mobile phone. The unit comes encased in a black elastic neoprene strap that gets attached over the wearer’s bicep with Velcro, much the way a runner’s arm-mounted MP3 player does.
As users move their arms along with the music, a specially designed system of weights and magnets creates an electrical current that gets stored as charge in a reserve battery. That energy can then be used to recharge a mobile phone. Reportedly, Orange tested the Dance Charge out at Glasto by employing a “Dance Charging Man” at the festival who was on duty to dance (for free) with those in need of some recharging.
