The system is designed to exploit the annual oscillation - the variation in the height of the sun's path across the sky over the course of the year. In theory, no solar radiation is compromised over winter, but surplus radiation can be diverted to electricity-generation during summer. <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/umla-solar-greenhouse/21090/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/sunflower-heliostat-csp-layout/21086/">Sunflowers inspire more efficient Concentrated Solar Power plant layout</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/author/darren-quick/">Darren Quick</a></p> <p><em>20:05 January 11, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/sunflower-heliostat-csp-layout/21086/#comments">2 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/sunflower-heliostat-csp-layout/21086/pictures">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/sunflower-heliostat-csp-layout/21086/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/sunflower_csp2.jpg" title="The Fermat spiral found in the spiraling pattern of florets in sunflowers has inspired a m..." alt="The Fermat spiral found in the spiraling pattern of florets in sunflowers has inspired a m..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p><a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/tag/concentrating+solar+power/" target="_blank">Concentrated Solar Power</a> (CSP) plants, such as the <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/gemasolar-csp-solar-plant/19098/" target="_blank">Gemsolar</a> and PS10 plants in Spain, use arrays of mirrors (or heliostats) to focus a large area of the Sun's rays onto a small area, where the concentrated light is converted to heat that is used to generate electricity. While CSP has gained popularity in recent years with numerous plants being built around the world, they require a large area to generate the amounts of electricity needed to make them economically viable. Taking inspiration from the sunflower, researchers have devised a more efficient design that would allow such plants to be constructed on a much smaller area. <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/sunflower-heliostat-csp-layout/21086/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/eco-wave-power-developing-two-new-wave-power-devices/20989/">Eco Wave Power developing two new wave-power devices</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/author/paul-ridden/">Paul Ridden</a></p> <p><em>18:45 January 8, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/eco-wave-power-developing-two-new-wave-power-devices/20989/#comments">5 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/eco-wave-power-developing-two-new-wave-power-devices/20989/pictures">9 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/eco-wave-power-developing-two-new-wave-power-devices/20989/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/ecowavepower.JPG" title="Six different float designs undergoing tests in the wave pool of the Institute for Hydrome..." alt="Six different float designs undergoing tests in the wave pool of the Institute for Hydrome..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Israel's Eco Wave Power is just entering the second phase of proving its new wave energy harvest and conversion system that's claimed to produce cheaper energy than existing coal-fired power plants.

One option is to bring them to their deployment site on board a ship, partially assembled, then put them together on location. Doing that kind of work on the pitching deck of a ship can be challenging, however, and requires crews to stay out at sea longer. Another option involves towing them from shore in their final, vertical orientation, but this requires an uninterrupted channel of deep water, and limits the speed at which they can be transported. Now, Norwegian company WindFlip is developing an alternative method that can accommodate shallow water, while allowing for relatively high transport speeds and a minimum amount of time spent putting the turbines in place. <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/windflip-offshore-wind-turbine-transport/20994/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/wakawaka-solar-led-lamp/20978/">WakaWaka solar led lamp aims to light up Kenyan school</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/author/bridget-borgobello/">Bridget Borgobello</a></p> <p><em>04:19 January 2, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/wakawaka-solar-led-lamp/20978/#comments">8 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/wakawaka-solar-led-lamp/20978/pictures">12 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/wakawaka-solar-led-lamp/20978/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/wakawaka.jpg" title="WakaWaka is a solar charged, portable LED lamp concept " alt="WakaWaka is a solar charged, portable LED lamp concept "/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Although we have entered 2012 approximately 1.5 billion people around the globe remain without access to a stable or safe source of light.

Even for less green-conscious consumers this lost energy can add up on the electric bill each month, so disconnecting unused devices is really a good habit for anyone to get into. But let's be honest, it's hard to remember to unplug each gadget every single time it's used. To help with this, designers have created the PumPing Tap, a concept electrical socket that can detect an unused power cord and physically eject it from the wall. <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/pumping-tap-concept/20975/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item "> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/cep-removes-heavy-metals-from-water/20956/">New technique removes even trace amounts of heavy metals from water</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/author/ben-coxworth/">Ben Coxworth</a></p> <p><em>16:24 December 28, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/cep-removes-heavy-metals-from-water/20956/#comments">7 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/cep-removes-heavy-metals-from-water/20956/pictures">2 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120114074113/http://www.gizmag.com/cep-removes-heavy-metals-from-water/20956/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120114074113im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/cep.jpg" title="A new process has been developed for removing trace amounts of heavy metals from water (Ph..." alt="A new process has been developed for removing trace amounts of heavy metals from water (Ph..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Once released into the environment from industrial sources, trace amounts of heavy metals can remain present in waterways for decades, or even centuries, in concentrations that are still high enough to pose a health risk.
