TidGen® Power System by Ocean Renewable Power Company (ORPC) ORPC’s TidGen® Power System is designed to generate emission-free electricity at tidal and deep river sites. The four-turbine TidGen® TGU is secured to the ocean floor using either a fixed bottom support frame (BSF) or a buoyant tensioned mooring system (BTMS), which incorporates a pod, or wing, above the TGU that provides buoyancy and is secured to the sea floor using an innovative tensioned mooring system. The BTMS allows the TidGen® TGU to be deployed in water depths of up to hundreds of feet. Whether to use a BSF or BTMS is determined by actual site conditions. A complete TidGen® Power System usually consists of an array of several TidGen® devices with the output from each device connected to an underwater power consolidation module, which is connected to an on-shore station using a single underwater power cable.
Ossia Unveils World’s First Commercially Viable Remote Wireless Power System | MobilityWire® Ossia’s revolutionary Cota wireless remote power system automatically charges multiple consumer electronics without line of sight from 30 feet Ossia, Inc. (www.ossiainc.com), today came out of its stealth mode on the main stage of TechCrunch Disrupt San Francisco by showcasing its groundbreaking wireless power technology dubbed Cota. The Cota technology, the first commercially viable remote wireless power system, redefines wireless power by automatically delivering targeted energy to multiple devices from as far away as 30 feet, without requiring line of sight. A 30 foot range is enough distance to cover an average two-story home, establishing a new paradigm in power distribution that allows people to use Cota to charge or power a wide range of devices well beyond smartphones, to include remote controls, cameras, video game controllers, flashlights, smoke detectors and more. “We have been developing the Cota technology in stealth for the last six years,” said Zeine.
30 Albums That Define Cool Any album “list” is going to be incomplete. It’s going to be filled with albums you agree with, artists you hate and some sort of commentary that you probably disagree with. This list is no different. London Calling – The Clash Long before Punk Rock was about frosted tips and dudes wearing eyeliner, there was The Clash. Legend – Bob Marley & The Wailers The likelihood of anyone reading this having heard of Reggae music without Bob Marley is unlikely. The Dark Side of the Moon – Pink Floyd Four words: The Wizard of Oz. OK Computer / Kid A – Radiohead Debating OK Computer and Kid A is like discussing religion or politics in public, so we’re not going to. OK Computer: Amazon | iTunes Kid A: Amazon | iTunes Licensed to Ill – Beastie Boys 9 million copies sold. American Recordings – Johnny Cash The Black Album – Metallica Don’t even pretend like you don’t know the chorus to “Enter Sandman” word for word. Live at Wembley ‘86 – Queen Stankonia – Outkast Rocket to Russia – Ramones Punk rock is cool.
'IKEA on steroids': Flat-pack homes to bust Australia's housing shortage Updated Media player: "Space" to play, "M" to mute, "left" and "right" to seek. Video: Tiny homes for tiny prices. With just a few tools and a bit of patience, would-be home-owners can now build their own abode from a flat-pack, on the cheap and off the grid. A Sydney architect has designed the flat-pack home, describing it as IKEA on steroids, in order to combat sustainability and housing shortage issues. The one bedroom, 13.75-square-metre home comes on the back of a trailer. A drill, a hammer and a wrench are all that are needed to put together the 37 panels that make up the house. Architect Alex Symes, founder of Big World Homes, says anyone can put it together. "It's like IKEA on structural steroids," he said. "It has all its water tanks; we have two potable water tanks, we've got one grey water tank, so all the waste water effectively comes to the grey water tank, you add an additive to it and then effectively that's safe to go on your garden. "This is happening around the world.

NASA Reveals A List Of The Best Air-Cleaning Plants For Your Home A healthy home environment is vital to a person’s well-being and houseplants contribute to it more than you might think. Their main benefit is air-filtering, so it sounds only reasonable that NASA did a Clean Air Study, that found which plants are effective at removing benzene, formaldehyde, trichloroethylene, xylene, and ammonia from the air – chemicals that have been linked to negative health effects like headaches, dizziness, eye irritation, and others.

The Indigo Child and How to Recognize One By Sandra Weaver (pictured Aaron Weaver, L.A. comedian) The indigo child is here to bring us closer to our true essence. We think our minds are separate because of our bodies. These children know differently. Our thoughts and feelings are not our own. Having said this, not all children born since about 1980 are indigos. "The intricate inner workings of our DNA are changing...Brain-wave relationships are spontaneously moving into higher vibrational patterning as the electromagnetic fields within our DNA. So what happened to cause us to lose touch with our inner knowing? Put simply, thousands of years ago we began to "think" instead of "feel." Some adults have been able to gain at least a part of this former knowing. "The conclusion of our book was that today’s children are different – more challenging, more intelligent, more confrontational, more intuitive, more spiritual, and in some cases even more violent – from any generation we have yet seen. Are you or your children an indigo?
