13-year-old inventor cracks the secret of trees to revolutionize solar energy A 13-year-old boy named Aidan Dwyer has an idea that can vastly improve solar energy technology. His idea is so revolutionary that it might make flat panel solar designs extinct. Aidan discovered a spiral mathematical formula in trees based on the Fibonacci sequence. When he recognized this design in the placement of tree branches, he began applying the secret knowledge to solar panel designs. His discovery could maximize solar panel sunlight collection in new, efficient ways. Discovering a pattern in tree trunks On a winter hiking trip, Aidan noticed something unique about tree branches. Using the Fibonacci sequence to maximize sunlight collection Upon investigating, Aidan discovered a pattern based on a number sequence invented by medieval mathematician Fibonacci. This Fibonacci sequence and its ratios appear in nature, in many forms of life. Aidan found that tree trunks contain similar patterns based on the Fibonacci sequence.

Extremely Simple & Affordable: The Drinkable Book! It Could Just Save Thousands Of Lives From the same group that has created the LifeStraw comes another incredible invention that has the power to drastically change the lives of thousands that currently do not have easy access to clean drinking water. The new solution is a book. The idea that a book can help to provide clean drinking water may sound a little crazy, but as the video shows it’s not only possible, but potentially even a little bit genius. As the narrator says right off the top: 3.4 million people die each year from water related disease. The Drinkable Book is an incredible solution to help aid this reality and hopefully overcome it. We all undoubtedly deserve to have access to clean drinking water.

Stunning, psychedelic images where art and science collide In his TEDGlobal 2013 talk, Fabian Oefner shares breathtaking images at the nexus of art and science, which beautifully capture unique moments of physical and chemical drama. Formally trained in art and design, Oefner says that he has always been interested in science. Though he can’t pinpoint the exact moment when he became interested in pairing his two loves, he views both pursuits as inextricably linked by a crucial bond: “The most important quality of science or art is curiosity,” Oefner tells TED. “That’s what keeps me going and always finding something new.” On the TED stage, Oefner demonstrates the science at work behind three of his photographs. As he explains his process, the mystical quality of the images gives way to understanding. For an imagination-friendly, explanation-free viewing of Oefner’s work, watch the first 45 seconds of his talk. Morton Bast is TED’s Community Mentor and Editorial Assistant.
On the Cutting Edge of Musical Innovation | Science Blogs The Earth Harp, strung over a canyon in Malibu, CA. (Image: William Close) We live in a time of remarkable innovation: computers are getting more powerful, DNA sequencing costs are plummeting, and robotic cars are driving around Mars. Why is it then, that our music is being made just as it has been for decades? Sure, new styles ebb and flow, but turn on the radio and you’re pretty likely to hear a guitar, a voice, and some drums, powering through the same four chords. If William Close had his way, things would be different. Today, the artist/musician has over 100 novel instruments to his name, a catalog of which reads like an anthropological study of another planet. Close’s calling card, however, is the Earth Harp, “the longest stringed instrument in the world.” The enormous scale but minimal infrastructure of the instrument facilitates a multiplicity of forms, allowing the Harp to integrate into a range of environments.

Ciência e Tecnologia da Borracha (por Mário Caetano) Liter of Light Liter of Light is a global open source movement with the aim to provide an ecologically and economically sustainable source of light to underprivileged households that do not have access to electricity or are unable to afford it. The invention is relatively simple. It involves filling up a 1.5L PET bottle with purified water and bleach and installing it onto the roof of a house. The water inside the bottle refracts the sunlight during the daytime and creates the same intensity as a 55 watt light bulb. History[edit] The idea of using plastic bottles for daylight was first pioneered by Alfredo Moser from Brazil in 2002.[3] Using the technology as a social enterprise was first launched in the Philippines by Illac Diaz under the MyShelter Foundation in April 2011.[4] In order to help the idea to grow sustainably, the Foundation implemented a “local entrepreneur” business model, whereby bottle bulbs are put together and installed by locals who can in turn earn a small income for their work.

Cimática Origem: Wikipédia, a enciclopédia livre. Cimática é o estudo das ondas. Está associado aos padrões físicos produzidos pela interação de ondas sonoras em um meio. Um experimento simples demonstrando a visualização da cimática pode ser feito espalhando areia sobre um disco de metal e fazendo-o vibrar. História[editar | editar código-fonte] O estudo dos padrões produzidos por corpos em vibração são antigos. Em 8 de julho de 1680 Robert Hooke conseguiu ver os padrões nodais associados aos modos de vibração de discos de vidro. A cimática foi explorada por Jenny em seu livro de 1967, Kymatik.[3] Inspirado pela teoria dos sistemas e pelo trabalho de Ernst Chladni, Jenny iniciou uma investigação sobre fenômenos periódicos, especialmente a observação visual do som. Influências na arte[editar | editar código-fonte] O livro de Jenny influenciou Alvin Lucier e, em conjunto com Chladni, conduziu à composição de Lucier Queen of the South. Em 2007 Thomas J.

PROJECT DRAWDOWN - If it is happening, it is possible. Special Announcement About Important Things! Drawdown is a book, a database, a basis for curricula, a digital platform, and a movement. It defines and describes 117 impeccably researched, “state-of-the-shelf” technologies, both practical and social, that will reduce greenhouse gases in our atmosphere. Drawdown delineates a path to carbon neutrality and reduction in the atmosphere using technologies that are already in place, and describes the beneficial financial and social impact they deliver over the next thirty years. It is also a mirror held up to the world about what we are doing about greenhouse gases, with the underlying motto that- if it is happening, it is possible. Drawdown will arrive in the fall of 2015. You are now on our list. Based on this sign up, we think you'll love... This is a sample text, written as a placeholder. 60 characters.
