AT&T New ZERO Cell Phone Charger creates No Energy Waste

AT&T 's New ZERO Charger

When you charger your cell phone do you unplug when the charger when the phone is fully charged. Most people don't. The charger are continues to draw power even when the phone is fully charged. This can cause the charger to consume between 5 and 20 times more energy than the phone battery stores. This phenomenon called "vampire power" which mean the waste power.

The ZERO Charger will shut off the power as soon as the battery are fully charged. Besides that, the ZERO charger have USB capability which mean it can charge different devices other than cell phone.

FUTURE CARS SOLAR CARS

Solar Car also is the product from green technology. By using the solar car ,it can reduce the pollution gases like carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide. Solar Powered Cars are the cars that run on energy from the sun. The Solar cars need the PV cells(photovoltaic cell)  to convert sunlight into electricity. The PV cells can excite electrons and allow them to flow, creating an electrical current. PV cells are made of semiconductor materials such as silicon and alloys of indium and nitrogen. At first the solar cars are built for the purpose of solar car races. Nowadays some company had already built the solar car that can use just like our car.

Solar energy are renewable resource and in our country Malaysia we can the sunlight whole year this mean we have the enough sunlight to charge the cars. Besides that, by using the solar energy it also can reduce the sound pollution. The panels of solar energy work silently so it can reduce the noise pollution already on the road.

The future of solar cars are bright. This is due to the increase of fuel price and the limited of fuel. Someday in the future the fuel can be use up. Solar car can be the main car in the future.

Example of solar cars

Toyato's third generation Prius

The car have an optional solar panel on its roof. The new thing about this car is that the panel will power a ventilation system that can cool the car without help from the engine. When the car parked on sunny,hot days. The driver can start the fan remotely before the go into the car. Once the car started, the air condition won't need so much energy to cooling the car.

   

Blue car

The blue car is a fully-electric vehicle that comes with solar panels on the rooftop. It comes with the regenerative brakes and a Lithium Metal Polymer batteries which has a range of 155 miles per charge. Besides that, all the materials in the car have been sourced to be as environmentally friendly. 

The 2010 Mercedes-Smart Car

The designer had put the solar panels on the roof as the car's batteries and the car egg-shaped doors is to allow easy access for four passengers.

Turns plastic bags into oil

 

A Japanese company has created a machine that turns environmentally unfriendly plastics bags

into crude oil for fuel. The idea for such technology has been around since plastic bags are made from oil, and so it's conceivable to reverse the process. The unique of the machine from Japan-based Blest Corporation is that it can be installed for home use rather than for industrial purposes. For about $10,000 dollars, we can have our own appliance that only needs one kilowatt of power to convert about two pounds of plastics into a liter of oil.

The explanation about how the machine work :  
His invention is actually a non-polluting, fully contained process that heats up the plastic, traps the vapors and channels them through an intricate system of pipes and water chambers. Then cool the vapors and condense them back into crude oil. This crude oil can be used in generators and even some stoves. An additional refinement step converts the crude oil into gasoline.


As a conclusion, I believe that producing oil from plastic cab lessen our dependence on oil-rich nations and can reduce of non-biodegradable trash piling up on landfills. Besides that, we also must reduce the using of plastics bag. This is the way that we can save the earth before it was too late.

Green Technology

Now we are in the age of technology,why not we go green.

In order to go with green technology, we need to understand what is green technology.

Green Technology is the technology which is environmentally friendly and is created and used in a way that conserves natural resources and the environment.

Green Technology had referred to as environmental technology and clean technology.

Green Technology is a field of new and innovative ways to make a change in our daily life.

However,this Technology is just in the beginning stages of its development.

This mean this Technology still had its potential to grow and it will bring us a better and clean environment for our future.

Goals of Green Technology 

The main goal of Green Technology is to find ways to produce technology in ways that do not damage or deplete the Earth's natural resources. This mean green technology is an alternative source of technology that reduce fossil fuels and demonstrates less damage to human,animal,and plant health, as well as damage to the world. Besides that, green technology is a products that can be re-used and recycled. Moreover,its also supposed to reduce the amount of waste and pollution.

Types of Green Technology

There was few type of green technology.

1.Energy 
The most important for green technology is to produce energy without
burning all the world's coal and prevent use all the world's fossil
fuels and natural resources.

2.Building 
Starting from now we should build buildings and houses that use
the tools and material that does not pollute the environment.

3.Preferred Purchasing
It is a new way to find products and methods of
production that have the smallest on the environment.

 

4.Nanotechnology
This is because nanotechnology can manipulating materials
to the smallest nanometer, it can best to implement green
nanotechnology is the use of green principles in the field.
