How To Make A Solar Powered USB Charger
Turn those so-so solar powered garden lamps into a useful, portable, USB device charger! Solar powered garden lamps were a great idea that just haven’t worked very well. Let me show you to turn these garden lamps into something really useful.
fit-PC Slim – Small and Low Powered Computer
The fit-PC Slim is a fanless computer that’s roughly the size of your hand (100mm x 110mm x 30mm), yet packs a powerful 500MHz processor, 512MB DDR 333MHz memory, and a 60GB hard drive! The computer is perfect for thin-client applications (where the server does most of the hard work) and for casual computer use [...]

The Solar Chimney | Renewable Energy
A new alternative energy solution is has been put to the test, and it’s been given the go-ahead for production in Australia. It’s a solar chimney.
This new solar power station is based on solar tower technology designed in Germany. An incredible thing about this new technology is the simplicity of its design, and its [...]
Alternative Energy from the Ocean
Ocean Thermal Energy Conversion (OTEC) was conceived of by the French engineer Jacques D’Arsonval in 1881. However, at the time of this writing the Natural Energy Laboratory of Hawaii is home to the only operating experimental OTEC plant on the face of the earth. OTEC is a potential alternative energy source that needs to be [...]
About Global Warming And Thinking Of Your Children
