Mmmm… Delicious Fusion

Wednesday, November 18, 2009 at 7:54 pm

homer-droolWill we finally achieve the long sought-after perpetual motion machine that is perfect (positively productive) nuclear fusion? I sure do hope so.

Yes this is a sadly short return article for TGT… but 75 hour work weeks will do that to you. Don’t worry though, this site won’t die! It will only get better with age and reconstruction surgery. ; )

Shocking Quickie

Sunday, February 22, 2009 at 1:52 am

Similar to using (freely generated and ever present) sound wave energy to create usable electricity, MIT researchers have thought up a way to generate a little extra juice for your plug-in/hybrid by adding shock driven generators to the mix. The system uses a turbine in the hydraulic fluid that turns whenever pressure is exerted on the shock. Read the rest over in Shock Turns a Jolt into a Volt.

As another quickie, there will be a major-ish site style update coming soon.

Quickie about Quickies?

Sunday, October 26, 2008 at 10:55 pm

That’s right, even sex can be green! I know it is a bit strange and probably might make some uncomfortable, but that is what science is all about! Forget taboo and just be smart!

Stumbled across this one while I was looking through the Planet Green website; How to Go Green: Sex. As I said, it may be a bit strange to think about, but even America’s favorite (private) pass-time can be a great target for those who wish to truly make all aspects of their life green! Check out their tips on how to find safer and cleaner lube, condoms, and whatever else!

Since this site has been pretty PG so far, I advise only the “experienced” and “mature” to go on reading. There is nothing profane, of course, but it may be a touchy subject for younger readers.

If you’re old enough and nerdy enough you may remember a certain show called Bill Nye the Science Guy. Well this quick and simple “DIY garden roof” reminds me of the grass covered car he used to drive around in.

Good luck!

Since I am about to leave for a week I am a bit busy, but I couldn’t help but share this article referred to in Slashdot today.
MIT opens new ‘window’ on solar energy“; a new paint on material will be implemented within 3 years and allow for 40x as much solar energy in existing collector systems to be absorbed. Read on for more, very cool stuff.
