Skyrider One - Very First Flight of the Electric Scooter & Paraglider

Skyrider One is the first prototype of an electric scooter, which is also an electric paraglider. It is the easiest way, to have something like a flying car. You can drive to your airstrip, fly to somewhere, and drive home after landing. With all electric drive, it is quiet and does'nt make any pollution. It can be used in areas, where combustion engines are not allowed. And two wheels are enough, no need for more. Take off and landing is easy with some help of your feet.
Flying in thermals is possible and can increase the endurance up to several hours. Enjoy the beautyful landscapes of La Palma (Canary Islands).

Material that recycles sunlight could be next big leap for solar cells

Earlier this year, the US' National Renewable Energy Lab announced that a new record had been set for solar cells that were able to convert sunlight to electricity at the rate of 29.8 percent using a silicon-based cell. If the Cambridge research can be translated into a working solar cell, there's a good chance that record won't stand for long. Plus, with a recent advance that makes perovskite cells cheaper and more durable, silicon's days in the sun might soon be drawing to a close.

tomatoes waste to electricity

constructive waste diversion ? tomatoes
A team of scientists is exploring an unusual source of electricity — damaged tomatoes that are unsuitable for sale at the grocery store. Their pilot project involves a biological-based fuel cell that uses tomato waste left over from harvests in Florida. We acknowledge primary contributions from Alex Fogg, Daniel Franco, Joe Wilder, and Dr. Komisar.
