Dr. Kim says "manufacturing the H2 by our method will lower the cost of H2 as much as 20 - 30 times" compared to the standard method.]]></description>

The device shuts your gadgets down if they are burning too much power. You can also use it to set any of the devices to power on and off with a timer.]]></description>

According to Harvard University, tiny gizmos of the future could be powered via a &#34;silicon nanowire that can convert light into electrical energy.&#34; 
The cable itself looks like what we a re used to seeing, but it is 100,000 times smaller, and made of silicon with three different types of conductivity arranged as layered shells.

It sounds like something out of The Terminator&#8211;a &#34;human electric hybrid.&#34; But, it&#8217;s actually a bike that you can buy now. Made by Matra, the MS1 can run for 62 miles on the juice, achieving a speed-limited velocity of 28 mph and capturing energy during braking. The &#34;human&#34; part is what comes in when the [...]]]></description>

For centuries now, the Moon has complained&#8211;to deaf ears, until now&#8211;that it could be providing all the street light we need, most of the time. No need for gas or electric streetlights, no sir, not unless there were clouds and such. Finally, someone&#8217;s listened, and developed Lunar-Resonant Streetlights, which use LED lamps that adjust lighting [...]]]></description>

It even has a patent number &#8211; Louis Michaud&#8217;s US 2004/0112055 A1 and is called an  “Atmospheric Vortex Engine.”  Basically, Michaud thinks he can control a tornado! They want to create a vortex and hold it in one spot to [...]]]></description>

On July 20th, Energy Star’s new specs for computers went into effect. While some product lines of all manufacturers fall short of these new standards, a few do comply &#8211; except for Apple which does not have a single item in compliance.
Only about 125 computers meet the new requirements and can be seen here in [...]]]></description>

They should have done this a long time ago. With all that direct sun real estate at stadiums, installing solar panels is so logical.
AT&#38;T Park, the home of the San Francisco Giants, is now sporting 590 Sharp solar panels producing 120-kilowatts of electricity. That equals about  40 residential solar systems.
Now we need more to [...]]]></description>

French designer Gilles Belley has come up with  the &#34;Energy Saving Adaptor&#34;  which uses modular plugs that link together and hang from the side of a desk. Each module monitors the energy status of a single device and when it  goes into standby mode, the lights let you know and 3 minutes [...]]]></description>
