The British commercial pilot Stuart Ross is testing a jetpack capable of flying at 100 km/h over 30 meters. Besides having developed its own device, Stuart Ross is also learning to fly a prototype that has been used successfully by other pioneers. The British fell for the concept of the jetpack for years. The dream has cost him about $ 150,000. Only [...]

Canal boats happen to be one among the popular tourist attractions of Amsterdam even today. No wonder the city sees over 100 canal cruises each day, which makes it more important to find greener ways of doing it. To initiate this drive, the Amsterdam canal saw its first fuel cell powered canal boat, the “Nemo H2? make its debut cruise through its [...]

In the American Navy research laboratories it was developed a hydrogen fuel cell-powered plane that was capable to fly during more than 23 hours in a test accomplished last week. The Íon Tiger, as it is called, got to fly during that period without emitting any pollutant particle and its motor is silent, a secondary conquest of that project. For who [...]

From the Hubble telescope’s images of planetary nebulae comes the idea of how the sun will eventually look when it expires five billion years hence. Once it has exhausted its reserves of hydrogen that feeds a continuous process of nuclear fusion, the sun will become just like any of the nebulae the most beautiful of which is known as the ‘Cat’s [...]

Photosynthesis, the process which energizes plants by breakdown of water using sunlight got artificial. Nocera and his colleagues conducted an experiment in which solar panels were used to power an electrolyzer with cobalt and phosphate catalysts to break down water into its elemental constituents, hydrogen and oxygen. The hydrogen thus produced was [...]
