Hyperion Power Generation was formed last month to develop the nuclear fission reactor at Los Alamos National Laboratory and take it into the private sector.

Scientist Otis Peterson’s brainchild, the portable nuclear reactor, might strike one as having a striking resemblance to a hot tub. It’s shaped like a sake cup, filled with a uranium hydride core and surrounded by a hydrogen atmosphere. This apparently simple setting possesses the capability of generating enough electricity to power a 25,000-home community for at least five years, when it is encased in concrete, trucked to a site, buried underground and hooked up to a steam turbine. In theory, the reactor uses uranium crystals and hydrogen isotopes to create an internal, self-regulating balance.

Finnish handset maker Nokia

The Concept :

The new technology is largely software based and promises to cut the energy consumption of the networks’ “GSM and WCDMA base stations to 650 watts and 300 watts respectively, from the current levels of 800 watts and 500 watts.” The company also plans to conserve energy by shutting down base station facilities during periods of low traffic.

Nail biting oil prices are going to drive us mad one day and that is not too far. Just wait and watch once oil strikes $100 a barrel, things are gonna get real panicky. Trying wind power, solar power and what not, have to start from the scratch, no doubt. Companies like SkySails in Hamburg, Germany are manufacturing kites the size of football fields deployed with a flexible cable. At 1,000 feet above sea level, these kites can catch winds up to 50% stronger than at the surface. The engineers, from the Hamburg Company SkySails, are testing the potential of high-tech kites to pull a ship across the ocean by hitching a ride on winds high above the waves.

Researchers say by doing so, will help slash fuel consumption by as much as 50 percent under optimal conditions. Cutting back the amount of fuel burned also curbs emissions of greenhouse gases. By some estimates, the shipping industry discharges twice as much carbon dioxide as air traffic. Video after the jump

For those who are not aware you will be surprised to know that conventional shower minimize thermal comfort, maximize energy use and water consumption and at the same time increase moisture problems. Can you guess what causes most of these negative effects? Well, it is evaporation. Check out the illustrative image above if you don’t believe me.

A group of Philadelphia-based creatives known as the 20/2 Collaborative have proposed a novel way to produce, store and distribute hydrogen for vehicles. The proposal calls for giant algae ponds coupled with large balloons to be built and set up in urban areas to generate hydrogen onsite for the refueling of automobiles. These algae ponds and balloons will create hydrogen renewably, sustainably and in an eco-friendly manner. The hydrogen will be created from algae in the ponds and fill up giant balloons, which will be used, in turn to fill up cars.

I personally have always been a fan of wind power. It is one of the cheapest and easiest renewable energy sources and was always going to play a big role in the future of clean energy, but this concept has a LOT of potential. Check out those stats;  1 Maglev turbine can power 750,000 homes! Here is a brief overview;

We’ve seen a couple innovative wind power solutions pop up, but none that claim to offer the benefits of maglev wind turbines, which use full-permanent magnets to nearly eliminate friction by “floating” the blades above the base. According to developers, the technology is capable of scaling to massive sizes, with a proposed $53M turbine able enough to replace 1000 traditional windmills and power 750 thousand homes. Additional benefits include the ability to generate power with winds as slow as three miles per hour, operational costs some 50 percent cheaper than windmills, and an estimated lifespan of 500 years.

Fingers crossed for the further development of this technology. A turbine with a cost of $53 million and the potential to power 750,000 homes truly could be the solution to our coal addiction!

The 2000 SR is a concept designed by a company dubbed “SURE Design” and it pays tribute to (the mythic) Toyota’s classic 2000GT, considered to be the first Japanese Supercar.

The Inspiration:

Two coupes had been transformed into drop tops for the sake of the 1967 James Bond film, “You Only Live Twice”. And that’s exactly what inspired the Japanese company into creating a 2000GT Cabriolet replica based on the Mazda Miata / MX5, which they call, Hiroshi.
