Inventions/ Innovations against Climate Change
The recession is the best thing to have happened to the world because we’ll get a few years more to tackle climate change.
Here are some inventions/ innovations that might be the answer. I’ll keep updating this list when I come across something. If you know about something that should be on this list, contact me here .
1. The Air Car
I wrote a huge article about this on my older blog. That link is here. Another article I came across is here. Production starts 2010.
2. The NovaTorque motor
Imagine a more efficient, lighter, motor. A motor such as the one NovaTorque have developed would reduce energy consumption in almost every device we know, which in turn would make a huge difference. Production starts this year. The Time magazine article is here.
3. Green Buildings
Buildings are turning eco-friendly. Materials, energy sources, construction methods. Here is an article about it from the Times of India, and this is a neat site about it.
4. The Atmospheric Water condenser
Water from thin air, even in a desert. Need I say more? Here.
5. Domestic Windmills.
We are moving towards decentralized energy production. Domestic windmills and solar panels will powers our homes quite soon, the grid will become history. Or maybe a backup. Here is a site.
6. LEDs
They will light up your rooms, they will become your screens. They will become smaller. They will change the world. LEDs.
This list will be updated from time to time.
