This is what people are seeing at the Brooklyn Bridge and London’s South Bank the past few days. Called a “Telectroscope”, it [...]
A few weeks back I wrote about how we were going to do a webinar on producing webinars. We have had many people tell us they are looking forward to this webinar. The date is now know – April 10. Here is a brief description: Looking for a creative and convenient way to conduct a [...]

Here is something cool on the tech front that we should see in a few years – lithium batteries that charge in a few seconds. U.S. engineers have found a way to make lithium batteries that are smaller, lighter, longer lasting and capable of recharging in seconds. The researchers believe the quick-charging batteries could open [...]
When people think of solar energy, they think of solar panels with photovoltaics. But there are different types of ways to produce electricty and one way is to heat up water to produce steam. The superheated steam is then used to turn a turbine that can produce up to 11 megawatts of electricity — enough [...]
What can you do with a flat roof that receives lots of sun? Put solar panels on them. Alantic City did this with their convention center, making this the biggest solar roof. - they are able to generate about 24% of the convention center’s energy. The 13,321 photovoltaic panels will produce an average of 26 percent [...]
