Project for a new electric motorbike from the italian eCRP
The world of two wheels has been involved by the green movement and the need to meet the requirements of environmental protection by reducing CO2 emissions in the atmosphere and the use of less polluting industrial processes.
eCRP, the spin-off of CRP Racing, is a new project for a street motorbike with electric propulsion. This is an innovative project and the aim is to create a motorbike that is close to the environment and needs of people, in order to give them adrenaline and fun.
Using fat to make biofuel
The engineers from North Caroline State University have developed a new biofuel technology to turn any fat source into fuel that can be used for powering jet airplanes.
Any form of oil can be used for the production of fuel like vegetable oils, animal fat and even from algae.
The technology used here in the creation of the fuel is called Centia which means “green power” in Latin.
NC State has received provisional patents for the process of converting fats into jet fuels and for additives in cold weather biodiesel fuels.
Using horse muck as a form of energy
Horse owners own horses for many reasons like for transportation, as a hobby or for racing purposes.
However not many people have really known that horse waste can be the base for an invaluable and renewable source of energy too.
With the need for new sources of energy to fuel vehicles and provide electricity growing everyday, researchers have found some good news in being able to produce energy from horse muck.
Wiring a home for Solar Electric Power
Solar energy is one of the more sought after sources of energy in the market today.
With solar energy, air pollution is reduced as there are no fumes that are emitted while working with solar energy. Moreover, solar energy is available for free; where you only have to pay for the solar energy system, its installation and wiring.
The wiring of a home that is to run on solar electric power has to be done by a skilled person, and with care to ensure that electric devices and appliances in the solar powered home are used safely.
Use your booze as your future fuel
Till date, all types of alcoholic drinks, or booze as they are commonly called, are produced only with the intention of drinking for socializing, fun, recreation and to drown one’s sorrows.
However the researchers of Abertay’s School of Contemporary Science have found a different and more beneficial use for alcoholic drinks.
The researchers here have been awarded the prestigious Carnegie Trust Research Grant to help them in the investigation of turning the residues that are found in the production of beer and whisky, into a form of renewable biofuel.
