Technology Tuesdays: Battery-free, Energy Harvesting, Interactive Devices
Hello Partners!
Its Christmas week! I am imagining the bubbling excitement at the prospect of our kids playing a handheld video game that has the endless ability to remain fully charged!
Technology Tuesdays: Clean Cooking
It’s Thanksgiving week, a time when we should take a moment to reflect and be thankful. One thing, I am sure, most people are thankful for but probably take for granted is the ability to prepare meals in our home without posing a significant risk to their health or the health of their families.
Technology Tuesdays: Floating Solar
The general consensus on solar is that it’s a no-brainer! Of course, in regions where sunlight is abundant, it makes perfect sense to harness all that energy and use it to fuel our communities. However, not all regions that have abundant sunlight are good candidates for solar. Why is that?
Technology Tuesdays: Waste to Energy Technology (WtE)
One of the biggest issues we face today is what to do with everything that gets discarded on a day-to-day basis. Only so much of it can be recycled. Since waste is so abundant, it makes sense to put effort into turning this waste into something that can be used. In most cases, that something is energy.
Technology Tuesday: Solar Windows
In recent years, it seems no conversation about energy savings can be had without the mention of solar electricity generation. People love it because it makes a very visible statement about your agency’s commitment to renewable energy. However, as with all technology, solar panels have their drawbacks. For example, the necessity to have them cleaned to maintain their efficacy and their inability, in some applications, to generate electricity all hours during which the sun is out.
