Recent findings open the door to better performance in combustion systems ranging from car engines to jet propulsion
Increasing the reliability of the ignition system might not seem like an amazing discovery. But Oregon-based researchers believe that their improved igniter will benefit all kinds of combustion systems used by practically every vehicle, an article in Science Direct stated. In order for a combustion system to run with maximum efficiency and safety, it needs […]

New laser-based system can locate small methane leaks in an area of several square miles
Methane leaks in oil and gas production sites will soon be unable to escape notice. Colorado-based researchers are validating a laser-based spectroscopy technique that can “sniff” out the tiniest emissions over several square miles. According to a ScienceDaily article, the new system can monitor its assigned areas nonstop. The current approach to detecting methane emissions involves on-site […]

Cool multi-use invention: Street lamp powered by dog poop has proven to be a successful green energy and waste management combo in the U.K.
From littering walkways and streets to illuminating them, dog poop may soon be fueling streetlamps across the United Kingdom. That’s already happening in Malvern Hills, an iconic landscape in England and home of the United Kingdom’s first dog poop-powered street lamp. The brainchild of Brian Harper, a member of the environmental group Transition Malvern Hills, […]

Physics breakthrough can use sunlight to directly transform CO2 into clean fuels like methane, without using fossil fuels
Researchers at the University of Adelaide, in collaboration with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation, have found a way to keep on using carbon-based fuel technologies without producing too much of the atmospheric greenhouse gas carbon dioxide (CO2) by doing away with fossil fuels. In the study that was published in the Journal of […]
