Integrated Wind Power
What a brilliant idea: integrate turbines into the design of a building. Just imagine if every new build had solar and wind integrated into the build and electrical setup...would that be a bad thing? Surely not...

Solar Furnace
Amazing what you can do with a bit of sunshine, isn't it? Check out this huge solar furnace...

Natural Fridge?
What a good idea? One large clay pot + one smaller clay pot + wet sand = one natural fridge. Brilliant.

Lightbulb 2.0?
The future of lighting looks very bright indeed.

Pee Power
Seems to be a lot of alternative power thinking going out there these days but this one showing how scientists have invented batteries powered by, uhm, Pee, has to be the strangest that I have come across. Still worthy of a mention though.

Wave-powered boats?
Following on from our recent post about Wind-powered boats this effort to power a boat by wave power is worthy of mention. And no, it is no April Fools gag. It is a mighty fine idea...plenty of waves at sea ;)

10,000,000 reasons to re-invent the car
I just love the idea of this. The goal is to "inspire a new generation of viable, super-efficient vehicles [100+ MPG] that help break our addiction to oil and stem the effects of climate change".
And there is a $10m prize fund to make it commercially worthwhile. And let's face it, whoever invents the transport of tomorrow stands to not only make a bit of cash but more importantly they could be a huge global hero.
Thinking caps on people!
Cheers

Wind-powered ships?
Wind-powered shipping! What an amazing and totally simple idea. No shortage of wind at sea and in this test the wind provided 20% of the power needed. And it is a big ship...not just a wee rowing boat. So there is no room for cynicism here. And with more and bigger sails the sky is literally the limit...
And if you think that's cool then check out these Air Powered cars.
