Energy Ball: Wind Turbine with Silent Elegance and Splendid Efficiency

Wind Energy really seems to be gathering wind as a viable alternate option in the last couple of years and people are starting to use it alongside Eco energy to get the best possible results. But the major problem in harnessing wind energy has traditionally been the use of tall and huge wind turbines which do not fit in to modern city patterns and also require considerable and consistent wind for production of energy. But designers and engineers have put an end to that problem by creating wind turbines that suit the urban lifestyle and ‘Energy Ball’ might be the best of the lot.

Energy Ball works on the principle of the Venturi Effect, making use of the change in fluid pressure at different points to produce motion. In simple terms, it acts a lot more effectively than wind turbines and is a lot more quiet and adept for city life. The wind turbine can be put on your roof or in your backyard, and it will start immediately producing energy. The efficiency is pretty high, and all that is achieved without changing the ergonomics of your home or your backyard in a major way.

While Energy Ball makes for a great wind turbine, we need more such wonderful designs which will harness other renewable sources with equal ease and so if and when you can get your hands on Energy Ball, just go for it. Via

Seat BRISA: Sports Industry Gets Solar Love Seat

You may have acclaimed Eco sail boats impelled by wind but here designer Miguel Angel IRANZO Sanchez from Spain offers you a hope to drive your sports car propelled by sun. Against ordinary sports car models that burn rubber down the road producing a gas-guzzling snarl, this one is different and peace loving. It features a hood sheltered with photo-voltaic cells that influence a stimulating engine attached to the stern motor. It maintains its niceties and special thanks to its spruce, backless structure and aerodynamic appeal that would have your hair pounding back in no time. Designer Sanchez disclosed that the idea was to make it look Mediterranean.


The potential design of the coupe is a direct invitation for manufacturers to flaunt their expertise.

Putin Tames the Tiger: Saves TV Crew with his Perfect Shot

We have celebrities across the Eco world shooting animals for fun and often getting themselves in all kinds of mess for hunting animals. But Vladimir Putin is a real wise man and irrespective of what much of the West thinks about him, he comes off as a very charming and multi-talented bloke. He is one politician who has seriously impressed many across the planet with his ways over the years. He can get down and do most stuff but even for Putin you would say it is tough to tag and place a collar on a Tiger… Or so you would think.

Putin put on a cameo and embarked on a visit to the Far East, home of the rare Ussuri tiger. He participated in a hunt to track down an escaped 5-year-old female tigress after it had freed itself from a restraint. But the Tiger managed to surprise the Television crew who were playing in its home turf now and was charging to take them down. But Putin would have none of that and just like an Olympic marksman shooting for the gold he shot a perfect shot and tranquilized the Tiger.

It is not often that politicians shoot for a good cause and it is not often that it ends up pretty. But in this case Putin just went on to tag the Tiger and placed a tracking device on it. The Ussuri Tiger’s are endangered and it seems Putin just saved one of them and also a TV crew from getting severely injured. All in a day’s work for Vladimir! So, why was he not at the Beijing Games shooting for gold? I suggest you enroll for London 2012 Mr. Putin… Job Well Done. Via

World’s First Manned Eco Fuel Cell Plane Takes Flight in Germany

Fuel Cells are the ultimate answer to all our energy troubles and if not in a shape and form that they are in today, they have a potential to evolve into something both potent and clean. The heavily bleeding aviation industry seems to be going the Eco-friendly way so that it can cut both on pollution and on costs. In a positive step in that direction.

While PEM fuel cells are not the ultimate answer to our energy needs, the aviation industry could use all the wind that it could get beneath its wings to help it fly in the tough times. The new Eco fuel cell is not hard to manage and its relatively simple cooling needs and consistent power generation make it a true alternative. While the commercial version of this Eco technology might still be a few months away at the least, one can hope for a partial fuel cell powered commercial flight maybe somewhere in the next year. That would truly be a journey towards greener solutions. Via Read More!

CIVIA LORING BAMBOO -Eco Styled Bicycle

One of the major contributors to the greenhouse gases in the world today is vehicular pollution and the problem with emissions from Eco vehicles is that they are both harmful to the planet as they are diversified into air at a rapid pace and also are difficult to contain with available technology. This Eco product is not as simple cleaning up the air from vehicular pollution as is the case in pollution from factories.

The best way to reduce emissions is by reducing the usage of fossil-fueled Eco vehicles and a commuting with the help of a bicycle over short distances really helps the cause. CIVIA LORING is one of the most stylish Eco bicycles that you will find in terms of its classic retro design and the design is simple and very Eco-friendly.

The Eco product bamboo styling gives it the feel of the early 70’s and late 60’s and the Apple Green color though is not really that cool. Maybe many out there would love it because this Eco product somehow feels not correct. While the retro theme is carried in the styling of the handle is the Bamboo fenders and racks give it a complete Eco-friendly costume and a cool bike to help the planet cool down! Via
