How Energy-Efficient Lighting Evolved
Its been 133 years since Edison’s invention of light bulb, and we’re just now transitioning into a new era of lighting technologies. Consumers now have a wider array of choices deciding on what best fits their lighting needs.
How LED bulbs are evolved and became very famous among the customers? Here is the best way to learn this evolution – an inphographic designed by Osram Sylvania...
The Yeti 150 – A Solar Generator
The Yeti 150 is a portable solar generator manufactured by Goal Zero. It needs no fuel or gas but Sun light to operate. It got the name because of 150 watt hour battery. The Yeti 150 is a plug-and-play energy source very much suitable for camping and emergency.
The Yeti 150 solar generator weighs only 12 pounds. It has built-in AC, 12V and USB ports. The generator can be fully charged in...
Hypersonic Skylon Jets Will Be The Fastest Jets
Hypersonic Skylon Jet – a jet that will make possible to travel across the world in the minimum hours, time you can only dream of. Reaction Engines Ltd – a UK company, successfully tested a new propulsion system for the upcoming Hypersonic Skylon Jet.
The new propulsion system is called Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE) that can operate both in air-breathing and rocket modes...
An Alternate Light BulbTo Fluorescent Lights
A team of scientists from Wake Forest University has introduced a new light bulb which could replace typical fluorescent lights in near future. The new lighting source is two times more efficient than the traditional fluorescent bulbs. The new bulb throws a soft white light rather than a yellowish light as fluorescent bulbs do.
A scientist from the team, David Carroll said, “People often complain...
NVIDIA Tesla K20X – World fastest & Most Energy Efficient GPU Accelerator
The family of GPU accelerators Tesla K20 are the fastest and more energy efficient GPU accelerators ever built. The Tesla K20X accelerator is one out of the family powering the highest-performance supercomputer – Oak Ridge Lab’s Titan supercomputer – the new champion for DOE labs beating the former supercomputer named Lawrence Livermore’s Sequoia.The Tesla K20X is based on NVIDIA...
Know The Unknowns About The Sun
Sun is the only source of light and heat for this Universe because of hot plasma interwoven with magnetic fields on its surface and lies at the center of the Solar System. It was formed because of gravitational collapse of a region within a large molecular cloud about 4.6 billion years ago. It generates energy because of thermonuclear fusion.
The total mass of the sun is 330,000 times that of Earth...
World Most Powerful Laser System Emits Record Breaking Power
On July 5th, World largest laser system was turned on for a while (almost for a fraction of a second) consequently it produced most powerful laser blast ever in the history. This record breaking test is carried out at National Ignition Facility (NIF), Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory in Livermore, Calif. The authorities turned on 192 laser beams of the laser system into a target chamber which...
Twin Creeks Designed Cheapest Solar Cells [Pictures]
A solar power start-up “Twin Creeks” has designed cheapest photovoltaic cells to overcome the predominant influence of fossil fuel. Hydrogen ion particle accelerators are used to create such affordable and cost efficient photovoltaic cells. The price is almost half of other current solar cells. They have reduced the cost using less amount of silicon.
Unlike current solar panel designs,...
Metatronics Chip – Energy Efficient Computer Chip
Current electronic computer chips are best because of their performance, life, handling work activity load etc. However, logic is performed with electricity. Optical engineers at the University of Pennsylvania have designed Metatronics Chip that performs logic with light. Metatronics Chip is smaller, faster and best alternative for electricity based electronic computer chips. Making resistors, inductors,...
How Earth-Friendly Is Your Smartphone? [VIDEO]
Human made machinery has effected our climate very badly. Our Earth is getting much warmer and cooler at different sections. Every new device has some impact on the environment. Smartphones are very common and there are hardly phone-less people. As they are of a pocket size with simple electronic equipment so people feel smartphones are non-perilous for nature. However, smartphones are not that fine...
