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/20120104092918/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/20120104092918/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/20120104092918/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/20120104092918im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/wakawaka-solar-led-lamp/20978/#comments">6 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/wakawaka-solar-led-lamp/20978/pictures">12 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/wakawaka-solar-led-lamp/20978/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918im_/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. Commonly in some of the world's poorest regions, kerosene lanterns are the standard form of night time lighting, which leads to the possibility of fires, explosions, asphyxiation and toxic fumes. Cheap, accessible solar lighting presents an obvious solution to this problem and the latest tilt at making this a reality is WakaWaka - a solar LED lamp concept that can fit snuggly onto a soda bottle. <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/wakawaka-solar-led-lamp/20978/">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/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/pumping-tap-concept/20975/">PumPing Tap concept literally ejects power cords to save energy</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jonathan-fincher/">Jonathan Fincher</a></p> <p><em>16:49 January 1, 2012</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/pumping-tap-concept/20975/#comments">16 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/pumping-tap-concept/20975/pictures">3 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/pumping-tap-concept/20975/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/pumping-tap-electric-socket.jpg" title="If a device uses no energy for ten minutes, the PumPing Tap's spring-loaded mechanism pop..." alt="If a device uses no energy for ten minutes, the PumPing Tap's spring-loaded mechanism pop..."/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>For years, environmentalists have warned that keeping electronics plugged in all the time wastes energy, even when a device is switched off. 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.

Now, however, scientists from Rhode Island’s Brown University have combined two existing methods, to create a new one that removes even trace amounts of heavy metal from water. <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/cep-removes-heavy-metals-from-water/20956/">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/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/fjord-cooled-data-center/20938/">Fjord-cooled data center in Norway claimed to be world's greenest</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <p>By <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/author/james-holloway/">James Holloway</a></p> <p><em>10:50 December 23, 2011</em></p> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/comments.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/fjord-cooled-data-center/20938/#comments">9 Comments</a> </p> <p><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918im_/http://images.gizmag.com/layout/icons/image_modernist.png" alt=""/> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/fjord-cooled-data-center/20938/pictures">20 Pictures</a></p> </div> </div> </div> <center><a class="noback" href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/fjord-cooled-data-center/20938/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/fjord-cooled.jpg" title="Green Mountain Data Center reuses existing mountain halls" alt="Green Mountain Data Center reuses existing mountain halls"/></a></center> <div class="summary"> <p>Upon completion, Norway's Green Mountain Data Center will be the world's greenest server farm - according to its developers, at least.

The marine aquatic plant consists of a long skinny-but-tough stem (or stipe) that is anchored to the sea floor and topped with a hollow float, from which a number of "leaves" (or blades) extend to the surface. The result is a seaweed that extends vertically up through the water column, continuously swaying back and forth with the surging waves. The researchers at Australia's BioPower Systems evidently looked at that kelp, and thought, "what if we could use that swaying action to generate power?" The result was their envisioned bioWAVE system, which could soon become a reality, thanks to a just-announced AUD$5 million (US$5.1 million) grant from the Victorian Minister for Energy and Resources. <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/biopower-biowave-kelp-wave-power/20733/">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <center class="snap_noshots"> <div class="next_prev"><strong> <span>1</span> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/ecogizmo/2/">2</a> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/ecogizmo/3/">3</a> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/ecogizmo/4/">4</a> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/ecogizmo/5/">5</a> <a href="/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/ecogizmo/2/">Next </a> » </strong></div> </center> <div class="dotsontop">  <div id="search_form_bottom"> <form action="https://web.archive.org/web/20120104092918/http://www.gizmag.com/search/" id="cse-search-box-bottom"> <span class="title">Looking for something?
