Buderus Installs its Condensing Technology in the Hotel Indalopark in Barcelona

The solution to this emblematic coastal hotel stands out for its modern condensing technology, designed to achieve a high calorific power (400 kW) in a space reduced from just one square meter. In fact, boilers Logamax plus installed on the Indalopark GB162 have been developed by Buderus with new guidelines on decalefaccion technology. Since the signing ensures that the new mural boiler with a seasonal performance of up to 110%, is "an alternative essential for houses or mounted in the form of waterfall, large installations".



The boilers Logamax plus GB162 meet the requirements of quality of engineering and architecture studies. They have a compact form, like conventional boilers for apartments. Sturdy construction, for its construction have been used high-quality materials, which guarantees a long life of the boiler. Assembly is simple and provides great flexibility of location, with the possibility of mounting of four boilers in cascade: 400 kW and a square meter, as has been done in the Indalopark hotel.

The Logamax plus GB162 does not need a complicated hydraulic or require a minimum volume. The Flow Plus (variable speed pump) system adapts the water flow to the power of the boiler. This saves energy and the Flow Plus system reduces the costs of electricity between 30 and 40 per cent in comparison with a conventional bomb.

Another advantage of the new boiler is its easy maintenance, since all operations are carried out from the front of it (it is not necessary to observe lateral distances) and allows you to attach a Logamatic class 5 NOx regulation system. It also has a ceramic burner of premix gas and group of combustion with control of the number of revolutions of the fan, watertight operation, and a low noise level.

London 2012 Olympic Games Went Green with Recyclable Basketball Stadium

Celebration of the Olympics so far has been a privilege granted only to a few rich countries who could afford to erect massive sports arenas required for the event. Since the Olympics draw large numbers of international visitors, these arenas of construction is a must.

However, to level the playing field proverbial for countries with a slightly lower budget, designers Wilkinson Eyre and Sinclair Knight Mertz have created a field of basketball which is not only economic to the organizers but also much more green than the majority of permanent structures. The project of the London 2012 Summer Olympics basketball stadium was created in collaboration with consultants of KSS sports and as its name suggests, would be used to organize basketball this summer Olympic Games yeara s.



Made with 1,000 tons of steel, design is very cheap and 100% Green, but certainly presents a great case for the incorporation of more sustainable designs for events of the same structure and Crown, the assistance as the Olympic Games. Clad in white, basketball stadium is composed of recyclable materials that can be reused.

For now, the London 2012 Olympics basketball stadium is one of a kind project to the members of the Olympics Organizing Committee, as well as host nations concerned agree that such sports arenas potentially could bring games to Nations with less purchasing power and give a boost to their economies at the same time make the Olympic games more green.

Electric Bicycle Norway Röskva Creates a New Genre for e-bike Bodywork

The Electric bike can be simply fabulous for the environment, but they have a terrible habit of being scary and geeky look at everything take away you it is "cool" about bicycling in the traditional sense of the phrase. Bearing in mind this little piece of vanity, a team of students from Oslo-based (UMB) life sciences Norway University has created the electric Röskva - an electric bike that has every right to sharp-edged style of a MotoGP bike with an engine power 96 eco-friendly.

But the figure does not seem so impressive for a sports bike but running clean engine is aided by wheels of carbon fiber, bodywork and unified framework that allows the motorcycle that they weigh less than 25 kg of General. This allows the bike to get a nice and toasted top speed of 112 miles per hour but with a full charge of the battery in returning a range of 62 miles.



Röskva name was the name of one of the servant of mythological God Thor. The old Norse Word translates to "fast", which is exactly what electric bikes is intended to be. Electric bicycles in the role of market today an execution engine clean but its performance is hampered by its structure and body that often is based on designs of bicycles gasoline developed a few decades ago.

Röskva electric bicycle comes with developed body to complement its electric motor and the constraints of modern technology. Chassis, suspension and bicycle brakes are hand made of carbon fiber elements that stand out for their performance light weight yet sturdy. Therefore the Röskva entered as an electric bike developed using a frame as it was created to complement the performance of the electric motor.



The concept of handmade and unique bicycle derived its form racing bikes currently in vogue though its electric propulsion system is totally cutting edge. Röskva electric bicycle differs from a traditional motorcycle in terms of design and layout and thus creates a new genre of design of the bike itself.

The designers behind the project have not revealed the technical details of the engine and the power in the electric bike but its objective is the prototype model to serve as a starting point for the development of a distribution of specific electric bicycle, frame and body that would allow electric bike of the future designers create lighter electric bicycles for the daily commute, needs of horse racing and recreational.

1 Litre of light project used recycled bottles to create solar lamps


In the Philippines, as many parts of the developing world, kerosene lamps are the main source of light for people living in disadvantaged areas.

 Not only are these dangerous lamps of itself also emit large amounts of CO2 and other toxic gases that cause of respiratory problems among people using them as well. This led to student MIT Alfredo Moser to get an idea for a solar lamp made out of recycled bottles water.

This idea was developed by Illac Diaz, a Filipino student who used to create Isang Litrong Liwanag AKA the liter of the project light. While his name may be a little misleading, alternative lighting system basically guarantees that people are able to use natural light without having the blazing sun in a through a large skylight during the day.


Each solar lamp contains one litre of water mixed with bleach that creates the same amount of light as a 60 watt incandescent light bulb regular. It is always better that chlorine keeps algae from water and bacteria-free for more than 5 years which gives each installation a longer life.


The litre of light basically project uses discarded one liter PET bottles, filled with water and use it to create a hybrid solar lamp/skylight that captures and amplifies the light of the Sun that works like an electric lamp and flood the Interior with light during the day. The lamp does not require any electricity to operate, although it can be a little less luminescent on cloudy or rainy days.

The project is part of the group my shelter Foundation that has invited the owners, students and volunteers to create their own makeshift solar lamps cost zero and your goal is to have 1 million

New green Nike GS coves are made from recycled bottles and beans

In an attempt to demonstrate its commitment to the creation of sustainably produced products, iconic brand sports Nike has created a new Cove of football called GS of Nike which is being promoted as the most eco-friendly shoe of the environment that the company has produced. Along its body, the trunk has renewable and recycled materials. Lightweight shoe weighs only 160 gms which makes it the fastest as well as the lightest shoe made by the company so far.



Polyester and recycled water bottles were recycled plastics used to create the tongue, lining and laces of the shoe, more than 70 percent of which is composed of these materials. Composed of 97 percent Castor beans, a vegetable source called Pebax ® Renu material is used to create the traction deck. This material is more than 50 percent renewable.

The production process in the manufacture of Nike GS kangaroo leather also emit 35% less carbon than a process that uses traditional materials. Since Castor beans require less water to grow other natural fibers, also reduces the environmental cost of making shoes. These slats are also chemical free.
However, what makes this Nike GS a great shoe for the average player is the fact that are up to 15% lighter than the traditional creeks through the use of Castor beans. Apart from the low environmental footprint, these slats can also offer high performance in the most pressing conditions.

2012 Only copies of the Edition limited football Nike GS studs will be made and will be available through the online shop of the company, starting in August at a price of $300.

ES Pipe Waterwheel Concept Transforms Regular Water Supply into Mini Turbine

For residents of third world countries, access to regular water and grid electricity remains sporadic.

Even though the supply of clean drinking water has improved greatly with people tapping into ground water using bore wells, the supply of constant electricity remains elusive and many people are doomed to fight the dark of the night using oil-lit lamps or use the limited power a battery backup can provide.

For the underprivileged population in places like Africa, designer Ryan Jongwoo Choi has designed the ES Pipe Waterwheel concept which has the ability to turn regular plumbing into a mini hydroelectric generator.



One of the finalists at the 2012 IDEA award (International Design Excellence Award), the concept calls for a special intermediate plumbing fixture that can be attached to regular plumbing pipes.

Each time the tap is turned on, the flow of water through the pipe passes through the installed waterwheel which turns the Kinect energy from the flowing water into electricity that can be used to power light bulbs.


The installation generates clean power and only utilizes the energy created by the flow of water which is otherwise untapped. The easy to install and easy to detach waterwheel stores the power in a battery and the user can easily detach the gizmo and use the portable light wherever it is needed.

 The ES Pipe Waterwheel concept can also be used with hoses to make the process of installing and uninstalling more convenient.

Furniture Outdoor DALA Combine Recycling with Senegalese Craft Design

Self-proclaimed "activist design" and a designer based in New York, Stephen Burks is to defend the adoption of traditional craftsmanship in the field of modern design to ensure that these arts are preserved and developed as part of the natural evolution of the design.

The activism of Burks' aims to develop a way for artisans and communities depend on these craftwork production benefit socio-economically the advancement of these designs of genre niche of "Arts and crafts" legitimately conventional design. To reinvent local crafts and placing them in contemporary furniture design, Burks has created the DALA outdoor furniture collection.



The word DALA is the Senegal term for the verb "do" and the collection inspiration of crafts and other traditional artistic influences in the region. The collection was created as a collaborative effort between Burks and Dedon, the German furniture company. DALA collection was recently displayed at the Milan design week.



Each piece in the collection of DALA shaped to resemble traditional although Interestingly; crafts Burks also combine these parts with his love of recycling. The collection, therefore, is woven around an aluminum frame powered with the exterior using recyclable fashion extrusion of polyethylene and recycled packaging used in food and beverage. The collection is available in three tones - sea, grass and fire.

Way Out Alternative Energy Sources


When we think of viable alternative energy sources, we think of solar energy, wind power and even wave power. But have you ever considered the possibility of making energy out of old pills, used diapers and molten salt? Alternative energy from garbage and molten salt sources is no longer stuff of fiction; it has successfully been tried and tested.

Alternative energy prevents waste and emissions
Since companies in the UK have to comply with commercial EPC regulations, alternative energy is not only for bunny huggers; everyone can benefit from producing energy from new sources. The energy needed to power our daily activities can be transferred from almost anything. We are sitting with all this potential energy but without the means to tap into it.

Some innovative scientists and inventors have found ways to convert waste, which is usually difficult to dispose of, into energy and this gives us the possibility of killing two birds with one stone.  Not only does this lessen the risk of chemical leakage into water tables and reduces landfill problems, but it also takes the strain off our stocks of fossil fuels and oil.

Use an energy pill
Medication seems one of the most unlikely sources of alternative energy.  Expired medication is notoriously difficult  to get rid of. If people flush their medication down the toilet, it becomes part of the water system, and if it's  thrown away as landfill, the potentially harmful chemicals seep into the soil and eventually water tables. Governments are becoming increasingly concerned about pharmaceutical water pollution, as scientists have found high levels of many drugs in water sources. Some of these are hormone pills, which can cause cancers and animal mutations.

A company in the USA that specialises in the disposal of expired medications sends expired drugs to an energy company that converts waste products into energy. Six and a half million pounds of pills were disposed of in 2006, producing enough energy to power hundreds of homes for over a year.

Fill up the tank with dirty diapers
Another alternative energy company was looking for waste sources that are consistently produced to make diesel fuel from. The answer came in the form of used diapers. The company now transforms 30, 000 tons of diapers into 10, 000 tons of diesel fuel at 50 US cents per liter in a low-emission closed system.

Molten salt versus fossil fuel
We've already looked to the elements, the air, sun and water, for alternative energy sources but a rocket building company and solar energy company in North America thought out of the box and came up with a method of making energy out of molten salt.

Molten salt has commonly been used to make alloys, but analysts say that the idea of combining solar power and molten salts is promising. Solar power is collected by tilting mirrors that direct it onto the molten salt, which is then heated up to over 1000 degrees Fahrenheit; the  steam produced is used to drive a turbine. The molten salt can be reused to repeat the process and no emissions are produced.

Drive with drink
Thousands of bottles of smuggled alcohol are confiscated in Sweden each year, and authorities have come up with a brilliant alternative energy use for it - by using alcoholic cocktails as the biogas source to power cars and buses. It seems like a noble use for the large quantity of hard liquor produced for consumption each year.

Alternative energy sources give us a way out of the oil crisis and let us feel all warm and fuzzy inside about saving the environment with renewable energy. However, at the moment, it's difficult to make alternative energy resources accessible to everyone, as new energy systems are expensive to produce.

The TectonicPlate Under the Indian Ocean is Breaking - Experts Fear Large Earthquakes

The Indo Board or the Indian plate plates the earthquake rupture April 2012 Video explaining about tectonic plates Video tsunami that shocked the world this plate extends from the border of the India with Nepal and China, the Indian subcontinent, Melanesia, Australia and New Zealand.

The plate consists of two parts joined makes 43 million years ago, the Indian plate and the Australian.Seismologists suspect that this plate is fragmenting since 1980, this would be the cause of the earthquake and tsunami of 2004 in Sumatra and also two earthquake of 8 Richter scale from April 2012.

These studies stated that the plate subducts is could be moving northward at a speed of 5.6 cm a year, on the other hand the other party the India would move somewhat slower about 3.7 cm per year due to the impediment of the Himalayan mountains.

The plate was fragmenting is not something new seismologists knew that it is a process slow but gradual. After this break-up of the plate would be the brutal earthquake of 9.2 degrees in centered in Banda Aceh in December 2004 and then the tsunami that caused hundreds of thousands of victims. Matthias Delescluse researcher of you École Normale Supérieure of Paris author of the articles on the topic published in Nature, said EfE:
Seismic activity between Australia and the India was already important before the earthquake of April 2012, but has increased since the 2004 earthquake. We now realize that the deformation of the plate between both countries may result in monstrous earthquakes of a magnitude never recorded before.
Experts are still studying where can be the area of union of these plates. The most likely hypothesis is arising to the southwest of the India or to the West of Sumatra.

Keith Koper, seismologist says that they had never before seen an earthquake of such magnitude. That seemed part of a disorderly breakup of plates. In just 160 seconds tremor caused 4 cracks in the plate, and I felt in the India and in Australia.


This earthquake originated in 2004 in contrast not brought with it a tsunami, since were caused by horizontal movements of oblique faults, producing sea inside away from the coast there were just victims.The majority of large earthquakes occur when two tectonic plates collide each other. However when fractures of plates slide horizontally along the fault usually scrapyard earthquakes of lesser intensity.


Earthquake of April 11, 2012 challenge the above, I know never before had recorded an earthquake of such intensity because not the clash of plates but horizontal parts of the plate displacements.
