2 Most Innovative Energy Technologies of Tomorrow
The ever increasing energy greed/need has forced the scientists to look beyond the conventional sources of energy and innovate something which may prove as the Energy Nirvana. The spiraling consumption of conventional energy has resulted in the gradual degradation of quality of air & water which may prove life threatening for future generations. The solution is to focus on the renewable sources of energy i.e. Green Technologies.
There are indeed a few commendable progresses during the past 2/3 years in this direction. Most prominent & innovative among them are:
- Bloom Box
- Wireless Electricity
Bloom Box: It is considered as a magical box of the size of a small bread-loaf which will generate enough power to meet the energy requirement of an American home. The unit doesn’t vibrate, emits no sound and no smell. Moreover, it can be scaled up based on your power needs. It can be pumped with bio-fuel, bio-gas to produce power. It can also be connected to the conventional Power Grid.
Technology Has Its Ties to Politics
We are all aware of the fast pace at which technology moves. During one’s lifetime we can name several technological changes at different points in our lives. At least every five years, if not closer, there are very notable changes in technology which help us to keep our personal time lines in order. Technology is probably the third most referenced subject when trying to recall a time or an event; right after music and movies. How many times have you said, “The time that I did…. was when…. (technological reference)”, associating memories in your life with the technology of that same time? Many of us do. Just as it is easy to recall a song or movie you so enjoyed, it is just as easy to recall a change in technology.
