New energy inventions from nanotechnology

Interesting stuff, let us know in the comments what you think!

Self contained urban energy source

I really like this concept, I would love to see this expanded upon.
The weight of the batterie(s) would def be enough to allow this thing
to continue to sit upright, unless of course there is gail force winds
or above.


I think the idea is to pull this out of a garage or shed at the time of an emergency.

For this to be viable you would need some stronger panels for sure.

Limonene

A relatively new biofuel is called d-Limonene and it has many essential uses,
such as pest control, as a solvent and as a terpene based fuel or gas.



The wikipedia article has some insightful information:

I hope to be able to post some more resources about this fuel here soon.
I understand it can be synthesized so that may be one way of cheaply producing
this fuel without affecting food prices or sources.

Here is a good video for those of you familiar with organic chemistry and wish
to make their own limonene extraction for experimentation:
