Power(Cube) to the People!

Cube

Got a forklift, 25G, and a desire to live wherever you want? Then the PowerCube from Reluminati is for you! Actually, with its ability to deliver 600-watts of continuous energy, the weight (1 ton) and the cost are the only two negative things I can say about it. Now, if the PowerCube and, say R2D2, [...]

All You Need to Know About Water Saving Technology Around the House

After concluding last week’s post with water conservation tips, I was motivated to look deeper into more steps homeowners can take to conserve water, as well as the new technology surrounding this issue.

We’d get by with recycling (every house, city, state, and country would HAVE to) and composting. It’s encouraging, of [...]

Low-Energy Water Desalination From Seawater Greenhouse

Three-hundred twenty-six million trillion! It sounds like a number I would come up with as a kid, say, in reference to the number of things I find disgusting about my sister, or the number of reasons I need a new bike, or the number of mosquito bites I got on a weekend camping trip. But, it [...]
