Why not produce your own electricity from wind energy? Wind power is one of the world’s most widely used renewable energy sources, and according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration, it’s the top source of sustainable electricity generation in the United States. It is 100% renewable, eco-friendly, and free to generate. A group from the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has developed a n

In today’s program, we’ll learn about wave power and how it could be the future source of clean energy for our planet. Wave power, also known as marine or ocean energy, captures the energy of tides, currents, and wind waves from the world's oceans, to generate renewable power. Unlike wind and solar conditions, the status of waves or swells can be easily forecast for periods of 48 to 72 hours in ad

Traditionally, waste disposal has simply involved throwing solid waste material into landfills. However, these sites emit harmful by-products such as methane, dioxins, and leachate, which are harmful to the health of humans, animals, and the natural environment. In an effort to reduce the environmental and health damage caused by waste disposal, scientists and engineers along with the waste manage

Flying is one of the fastest and most efficient ways to travel, especially for long-distance trips. However, conventional airplane flights are energy-intensive and depend on fossil fuels for power. Because aircraft emissions are released high in the atmosphere, they have a potent impact on Earth’s climate, triggering chemical reactions and atmospheric effects that add greatly to planetary warming.

3D-printing is an emerging revolutionary technology that could completely change the current approach to design and manufacturing, with profound geopolitical, economic, social, demographic, environmental, and security implications. 3D-printing technology is not only altering human life but is also significantly impacting the lives of animals. On today’s program, we happily share some of these grea

As we progress through the Golden Age, we’re seeing more and more advances in the area of green building technology. For example, the traditional machinery used for construction is now being replaced by 3D-printing or additive manufacturing, the process of making three-dimensional objects from a computer-assisted design (CAD) or digital 3D model. Carbon Asset Storage Technology(CAST) is among the

The ecocapsule is a smart, self-sustainable micro-house that uses solar and wind energy for power. The energy-efficient egg-shaped dome designed by Slovakian firm Nice & Wise which allows its inhabitants to live off-grid and enjoy the scenic beauty of nature. In a second example, a group of students constructed the “Waste House” at the University of Brighton, UK, from a variety of waste materials

As new housing concepts emerge, housing designs focus resources and technologies with less carbon footprints and environmentally friendly. One of the world’s most ingenious eco-friendly dwellings has been designed by the Dutch company Wikkelhouse, was created by a team from the Fiction Factory in Amsterdam. The Wikkelhouse is a completely reusable modular home made almost entirely of recycled card

Today we will learn Incredible technology applied to clothing industry to achieve the “wasteless” target in a circular fashion movement. Well, Swiss-based Dimpora has developed a membrane which can integrate with any outdoor clothes through painting, spraying, coating, or printing. Different from other traditional types of membrane, Dimpora membrane is mineral-based, biodegradable, fluorine-free,

A lot of what is produced globally in terms of clothing will not end up being recycled. That means a massive amount of fabric waste goes to landfills every years, polluting our soils and oceans. In order to tackle this issue, companies and start-ups have been working hard to offer technological solutions for a circular approach to fashion. Ryan Mario Yasin, Arabella Turek, Fanny Lefebvre-Nare, and

In November 2019, the new California-based company Heliogen reported an exciting breakthrough in solar-concentration technology. The startup focuses on using clean energy to eliminate the need for fossil fuels. The breakthrough at Heliogen offers carbon-free, cost-effective solar technology to replace fossil fuels, thus bringing about the hope of decarbonizing these large emitters of greenhouse ga

On today’s program, we’ll meet Mr. Artjoms Kurbanovs, the SkyWay Group of Companies investor from Latvia. He tells us about the Unifly, a vehicle designed to replace the family car. “We're now at our high-speed ‘Unifly,’ the transport that moves at 500 km/h. And to drive it, to operate it, will cost much less, because to build all this we need less resources, less time plus it’s total eco-friendli

The SkyWay Group is developing a high-speed elevated urban and freight transportation system with vehicles that can travel up to 500 km/h. On today’s program, we’ll speak with Dr. Anatoly Yunitskiy, Founder, President, and Lead Designer of the SkyWay Group of Companies. For Dr. Yunitskiy, SkyWay has been a lifelong project. When Dr. Yunitskiy introduced the world to the SkyWay transport systems, h

For thousands of years, the dog has been recognized as human’s best friend and the most faithful companion. Through modern technology, dog lovers now have many excellent products to transform the lives of their best friends. The Ford “quiet kennel” detects noise and transmits opposing frequencies. Tesla, Inc. has also introduced a new feature in their Tesla 3 electric cars called “dog mode,” which

On today’s show, we’ll explore some useful devices that make use of solar energy to perform a variety of functions in daily life. The Sun constantly radiates its loving energy into the cosmos, and nowadays, technological advances are allowing us to make use of its energy to operate a wide array of practical gadgets. For example, solar panels covert sunlight into electricity by means of photovoltai

Air taxis can be sustainable, comfortable vehicles for making short flights across congested cities. Besides being able to avoid busy street-level traffic, they can take off from and land on short runways or helipads. Today, we’ll find out what kinds of eco-friendly flying taxis will soon be available. Kitty Hawk’s operator Zephyr Airworks recently formed a partnership with Air New Zealand to brin

Vehicle manufactures around the world are becoming ever more mindful of preserving the environment, and in recent years the number of small hybrid and all-electric vehicles being produced has surged. A wide variety of electric scooters is available on the market. At present, these scooters may look slightly more expensive than some gasoline-powered versions, but choosing an electric scooter over a

Scientists and engineers around the world are learning from our animal co-inhabitants and from bacteria about their skill in movement and are mimicking them to develop robots that can have a positive impact on the fields of humanitarian and medical aid. Today we’ll examine how these devices can help humans and animals in times of need or emergency. MIT’s Cheetah project was initiated to create a r

Today we’ll learn about how technology can help people with disabilities gain or regain part of their physical functionality. Understanding the difficulties encountered by the physically challenged, scientists and engineers have been devoting their hearts and minds to research on ways to help them restore part of their mobility in daily life. They are all thinking big, they are taking risks. There

Our car, the Lightyear One, will be a statement car. You can drive on the power of the Sun. Lightyear One can constantly replenish its power using the Sun, and travel up to 800km (about 500 miles) on solar power alone, depending on the battery configuration. The car has an even longer range in sunny climates, going for days without charging when tested in such conditions. And the Lightyear One can
