Three Glimpses into a Greener Future with Technology
As technology evolves, some new ideas are helpful to the planet, others are contributors to pollution. Here are three innovations that take the greener turn on technology’s divergent path:
1. A new diving vehicle, created by NASA, is fueled by changing ocean temperatures. It is allowing us to explore ocean depths and record new information about deep water conditions, all the while requiring no fuel or battery power.
2. Solar Aero has recently received a patent for a new bladeless wind turbine. This device can harvest the natural power of wind in a manner that is quieter and safer for wildlife than typical wind turbines.
3. Tensile Solar Fabric provides an interesting alternative to typical rigid solar panels. It has the potential to provide a moble, tent-like power source that can be used during natural disasters and in undeveloped areas.
