when the amount of energy used is measured. In fact, everything seems better than driving. A long distance train uses 1, 668 BTU per person mile.

BTU, or British thermal unit, per person mile is a measure of energy used to move a person a mile.

when the energy per person mile was about twice as much for flying than for driving.

which uses it to recapture energy usually lost when braking, and then use it for acceleration.

Yet to the surprise of Rabinowitch, no one had studied scientifically spuds as an energy source. So in 2010, he decided to give it a try,

which allows us to understand how much energy was lost by heat. They found that by simply boiling the potatoes for eight minutes

reducing resistance and allowing for freer movement of electronsthus producing more energy. They also increased the energy output by slicing the potato into four or five pieces,

First, there the issue of using a food for energy. Olivier Dubois, senior natural resources officer at the United nations Food and agriculture organisation (FAO),

says that using food for energy like sugar cane for biofuels must avoid depleting food stocks

While the potato helps to prevent energy being lost to heat, it is not the source of the energy that actually extracted via the corrosion of the zinc. t sacrificial the metal is degrading over time,

says Lovley. This means you have to replace the zinc and of course the potato or plantain pith over time.

#State Leadership In Financing A Greener Future While crippling paralysis has become standard operating procedure for Congress in the face of mounting climate and energy challenges,

The New york Green Bank is launching at a time of mounting evidence of the direct negative impacts of climate change on the nation environment, economy, and energy infrastructure.

and low-carbon energy infrastructure. At the same time, new clean energy technologies are distinctly ready to meet this challenge, but bringing these technologies to scaled deployment across the economy is contingent on having ready access to capital and strong market structures to support new investment.

Advanced energy technologies are forced to compete with well-established and historically government-subsidized conventional energy industries for limited available capital.

This investment supported almost 30 megawats of new clean energy and savings of 9, 000 MMBTU of energy per year.

Aggregation State green banks should focus on mechanisms that allow the aggregation of decentralized investments across energy and real estate markets.

and achieve scale across statesclean energy markets and within the emerging industries. In addition, green banks should be allowed flexibility to experiment with policy designs

however, must be driven by the needs of different energy technologies, market segments, target investors, or beneficiary populations within the state,

Green banks are the right tools to leverage the private financing necessary to bring these technologies to wide-scale commercialization and support their competition within energy markets.

America and the rest of the world are facing vast climate and energy challenges. State green banks are a uniquely flexible solution that can operate at the scale of this challenge to accelerate the development and deployment of next-generation technology and infrastructure that is clean

#Implants And Powering Them From Within Your heart expends half a joule of energy every time it beats.

But, like all energy, that which is harnessed to power the heart is destroyed never; it just changes form as it radiates away from the organ as heat and vibrations of surrounding tissue and fluid.

Now, a science team has announced a breakthrough in harvesting the energy released from the movement of the beating heart,

#Zero Net Energy Building Movement Is Taking Off Zero net energy, once a wild-eyed, seemingly unattainable vision, isn exactly mainstream,

Zero net energy buildings are defined as those that generate as much power from onsite energy sources as they consume,

as it had in 2012 the NBI also counted up zero net energy buildings that hadn yet put in the full year of performance required,

ZNE buildings use only a quarter of the energy of average buildings. Measured energy consumption of the ZNE buildings is only about one-quarter of the average commercial building energy use today.

The average verified Energy use Index (EUI) 4 of these buildings is 21 kbtu/sf/yr. Among other key findings in the NBI report:

ZNE districts are a growing trend, with 18 identified; private sector ZNE development is climbing,

and therefore conserve energy that is otherwise lost through internal friction which helps to reduce rolling resistance.

#Smart sensors that harvest power from sun heat or vibrations European researchers have developed advanced energy harvesting technology that allows wireless sensor networks to power themselves from the sun, heat or vibrations.

Like any electronic device, sensors need energy to operate. Until now this has largely been solved by hooking them up to the grid

But what if sensors could harness energy directly from their environment from the sun, from ambient heat, from radio waves or vibrations?

What is needed are networks of devices that can survive by scavenging the energy they need from the environment."

They are focusing on making energy harvesters more efficient and are integrating multiple energy harvesting and sensing circuitry into individual devices.

The researchers are also developing intelligent algorithms (small programs) to efficiently manage the energy obtained from the environment.

The algorithms are used then with advanced signal processing techniques to reduce the amount of data that has to be sent for a given monitoring application.

in turn, reduces energy consumption. Apostolos Georgiadis, a senior research associate and the SWAP coordinator at CTTC in Spain, says the design of energetically self-sufficient networks differs sharply from that of standard battery-powered ones. he goal is no longer to minimise energy draw so as to maximise the lifetime of the battery reserve,

but rather to use energy when it is available and save it when we know it will be scarce,

so that the system will remain operational ideally forever, "he says. Combining the expertise of the academic and industrial partners,

sees such efficient energy harvesting systems playing a crucial role in the Internet of things, the concept that in the future myriad different devices,

In addition to cutting energy consumption and increasing indoor comfort, the team also aimed to mitigate the appearance of urban heat islands.

How much energy can they help save? That depends on a lot of factors. Demo park data indicate that savings ranging from 4 to 7. 5%could be achieved by re-roofing,

#Save energy: commercial cooler chills beverage in just 50 seconds! Commercial fridges and freezers keep food fresh and beverages cool.

and means small quantities can be chilled on demand, saving huge amounts of energy. Supermarkets, convenience stores, service stations, restaurants, hotels wherever you find people with money to spend,

The technology developed delivers considerable energy savings while, at the same time, keeps up with growing consumer demand. Game-changing green technology like this could have a direct impact on the EU 2020 commitment to reducing energy use and greenhouse gas emissions while improving overall energy security,

the team suggests. EU Member States are preparing a combination of voluntary and mandatory initiatives to force a step change in energy consumption and the use of commercial refrigerated equipment.

Probably the most prominent of these is the Energy Using Products (EUP) Directive which is expected to enter into force in 2014.

Up to 90%energy saving Rapidcool developed an autonomous, modular-cooling apparatus for cooling drink cans and bottles from room temperature to around 4°C in some 50 seconds.

However, it should be pointed out that Europe also uses plastic waste as an energy source, and so, together, energy recovery and recycling use up more than half of the Union's plastic waste.
