GE Ecomagination Challenge – Plug-In Wind Power!

Featured in Popular Science alongside GE and Google on products that they see as game changers: www.popsci.com Fast Company Magazine has this to say about the Jellyfish: www.fastcompany.com Jellyfish Wind Power Concept: What if you could plug renewable wind energy into the wall just like a blender or a toaster? Instead of using power, a wind appliance actually generates it! For more details visit: www.clariantechnologies.com Smart-Grid Enabled: With onboard Wi-Fi/WiMAX the Jellyfish is also smart-grid enabled. Today, wind and solar-powered homes are operated as autonomous points within the local electrical grid. However, they are an overlooked, yet important electrical power resource. If instead, each were harnessed collectively and tied interactively with the local utility grid as a Point-to-Grid (P2G) power generator, or even regulator, considerable economic, environmental and system reliability benefits are possible. By itself, each of these power sources is indeed small in its impact on the power system. In the aggregate, however, the economic value of P2G power is significant, more than enough to offset the initial cost of installing the required control hardware and integrating these systems with the local utility grid. Equally important, the necessary regulatory and energy distribution infrastructure, and hardware components to enable a number of different types of P2G-based systems are already in place today. The convergence of existing distributed electric power

Villagers Use Sewage Water to Generate Power in Central India

One village in India’s Madhya Pradesh state is getting a little more environmentally friendly. They discovered a unique way to generate power by using sewage water. Let’s take a look. Residents of Kodipura village in Madhya Pradesh have discovered a new way to generate electricity through human waste. A plant was constructed on the outskirts of the village that uses sewage water to generate five kilowatts of electricity. [Halkeram Maheshwar, Local]: “One three horsepower motor is run and water is supplied through it. The electricity is also used by the community hall. All the lights and fans consume the same electricity. We are also planning to further supply electricity in the village.” The power plant also benefits the farming community. [Shiv Narayan Sharma, Former Village Head]: “We use this electricity to draw water from a well that we have dug. We use the water to irrigate the 3-4 acres of land surrounding the plant. We have sown soybean. We are also planning to make a cowshed here, so that we can also utilize cow dung to produce more gas.” The plant is financially supported by the state government. Locals believe the plant has also improved the sanitation in the village. It’s seen as a leap towards environment conservation.

Solar plane completes maiden flight

An experimental plane, powered only by rays from the sun, has landed safely in Switzerland after successfully completing its first 24-hour test flight. The “Solar Impulse” took off on Wednesday from Payerne airfield shortly after dawn and touched down a day later having proved that overnight solar-powered flight is possible. Clear blue skies meant that the prototype aircraft was able to soak up plenty of solar energy as it made a gradual ascent to a final altitude to 27900 feet or 8500 metres and then flew in darkness using energy stored up during the day. Pilot Andre Borschberg endured freezing conditions overnight and ended the test flight with a picture-perfect landing. Al Jazeera’s Charles Stratford reports.
