A device produces clean energy through evaporation

steam-powered

At first glance it may seem like a nice colorful toy, but in reality it is a refined device designed to produce electricity. It is a device developed by researchers at Columbia University, who used very special materials to create an instrument that exploits the humidity present in the air to generate 'clean' electrical energy. The device was made with colored Lego bricks, a sheet of rubber coated with spores, a coil and … Read more

Goodbye to air conditioners: 3D bricks that cool the air are arriving

brickclima

Modern science is increasingly concerned with finding solutions for domestic well-being. During the summer seasons the heat can be unbearable, especially in the hottest locations and in the central hours of the day. Many people are therefore led to purchase an air conditioner, i.e. a device that conveys hot air and cools it by reintroducing it into the cold environment and therefore lowering the overall temperature of the environment. From today these systems could be replaced by a very special invention, namely climate bricks made of ... Read more

Chemtrails against global warming? There are those who say yes

chemtrails

Always protagonists in the argumentative repertoire of curious people, independent analysers, scholars, conspiracy theorists and free thinkers, the famous "Chemtrails" could emerge from the literature of counter-information to become part of tangible reality. No longer a borderline theme, therefore, but a conscious human activity. What is it about? The scientific journal PNAS (relaunched instantly by the more widespread Popular Mechanics) published joint studies by American, Scandinavian and Chinese scientists based on scenarios that effectively constitute speculation on the opportunity to do ...

Bravo LPG, accessible ecology

Fiat Bravo MyLife 300x188

More than a novelty in the Bravo range or at Fiat, today we are talking about an offer that Lingotto offers (and in times of crisis the offers are very useful) for the dual fuel version, LPG version of the Bravo; the possibility of having the car at an advantageous price, complete with financing, insurance and without a down payment. For those who don't know it yet, the Fiat Bravo Mylife is equipped with a 1.4 HP 90 EasyPower engine and, as for the ... Read more

Jobs of the near future: 26 jobs of tomorrow

Future Of Work i1140

In the days that mark the fall of the Berlusconi government and the Italian economic crisis (remember? we predicted it on the old site) I am as disheartened as all of you. The moment is difficult: we can only get out of it if all levels of our country change by looking to the future more than to the past. Some jobs will still survive in the future, let's be clear: but there is a whole series of jobs that don't exist today and which could be useful in the near future. Let's go with common sense: 60%...

Independent study confirms: Earth is burning.

The Berkeley Earth Surface Temperature study just released a comprehensive global warming analysis report, showing “considerable evidence of a significant increase, more than a degree since the 50s.” These are the first results that clearly show evidence that even skeptics will be forced to accept. Why is the Berkeley Earth Project different from previous global warming studies? First: it is independent. No state sponsorship, no hidden piloting, no political pressure. Second: it is non-profit, it only exists... Read more

5×1000 to the WWF: give a gift to the future.

POST FP 700X500 1 76 1

Our planet needs a small overhaul: with an economy increasingly in crisis and an epochal transition from an energy system based on fossil fuels to another (hopefully ever closer) that focuses entirely on renewables, our presence activity is increasingly important to guarantee new generations greater freedom, greater variety of species and less pollution. We can do a lot: an important principle that will be able to keep our ecosystem standing is to... Read more

Hansen predicts: the seas will be higher than 7 meters

hansen

A chilling prophecy comes to us from James Hansen, 68 years of which almost 30 spent at NASA's Goddard Institute for Space Studies: he almost never makes an observation wrong. In 1981 he wrote that the following decade would mark peak heat and the prediction came true. At the beginning of the nineties he said that the first decade of the new century would beat the previous record and this time too the facts proved him right. Let's hope that now he is wrong because the scenario he draws is... Read more
