The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative. Monday, April 30, 2012. Wind turbine creates water from thin air. CNN) - Wind turbines have long produced renewable energy but a French engineering firm has discovered another eco-purpose for the towering structures. Eole Water claims to have successfully modified the traditional wind turbine design to create the WMS1000, an appliance that can manufacture drinking water from humid air.

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative: For a better concrete, mix sand with bacteria and urea?

http://globalrooftop.blogspot.com/2014/01/for-better-concrete-mix-sand-with.html

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative. Friday, January 31, 2014. For a better concrete, mix sand with bacteria and urea? Concrete is the second most consumed substance on Earth, after water. It’s primary ingredient, cement, accounts for about 5 percent of the world’s carbon dioxide emissions. From bricks made with leftover brewery grains to concrete modeled after ancient Roman breakwaters, researchers have been looking hard for less energy-intensive alternatives. The bacteria cements the sand particles to...

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative: Algae to crude oil: Million-year natural process takes minutes in the lab

http://globalrooftop.blogspot.com/2013/12/algae-to-crude-oil-million-year-natural.html

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative. Wednesday, December 18, 2013. Algae to crude oil: Million-year natural process takes minutes in the lab. While there are big problems with algae farming such as salt deposits, scalability issues, contamination of cultures, etc. it's very exciting to hear about the progress in the field. The system runs at around 350 degrees Celsius (662 degrees Fahrenheit) at a pressure of around 3,000 PSI, combining processes known as hydrothermal liquefaction and catalytic hydrothe...

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative. Thursday, March 29, 2012. MIT 3-D Designs for Solar panels can expand power generated for same area from 2 to 20 times or more. Two small-scale versions of three-dimensional photovoltaic arrays were among those tested by Jeffrey Grossman and his team on an MIT rooftop to measure their actual electrical output throughout the day.

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative: SheerWind claims its INVELOX wind turbine produces 600% more power

http://globalrooftop.blogspot.com/2013/05/sheerwind-claims-its-invelox-wind.html

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative. Monday, May 13, 2013. SheerWind claims its INVELOX wind turbine produces 600% more power. The idea behind the INVELOX system is to capture wind using wide mouthed funnels and channel it via ducts to a turbine sitting at ground level. The wind picks up speed as it is concentrated through a series of nozzle. As low as 1mph. NOTE: The claims from this company are dubious and no third-party has been allowed to test it, so take this with a grain of salt.

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative: Tiles Harvest Marathon Runners' Energy

http://globalrooftop.blogspot.com/2013/04/tiles-harvest-marathon-runners-energy.html

The Global Rooftop Energy Initiative. Monday, April 15, 2013. Tiles Harvest Marathon Runners' Energy. Recently the Paris Marathon showed that such a feat is possible. Race organizers laid out an 82-foot span of rubber tiles along the route made by the London-based company Pavegen Systems. From recycled truck tires. The tiles took kinetic energy from footfalls and converted it into very small amounts of electricity. The tiles generated up to 8 watts with each step, Bloomberg’s Alex Morales reported.
