But the amount of energy from the solar panels are not enough to satisfy the consumption. Solar balloon is a new concept to produce 400 time more energy as compare to solar cell. What's unique about it ? The great thing about the this device is that it's made up of very common found and cheap material. “Plastic thin film is abundant and cheap. It's a very effective product to produce electricity without spending huge amount on those huge solar panel. Solar balloon material costs two dollars necessary for our solar. I think it's a great conpect and easily applicable all around the world. We just need to take fast action to protect our planet from global warming effect.

This is not surprise, H211 LLC have many jet fighters used for Google projects. H211 managed to get the rights to operate from an airstrip ten minutes away from Google HQ near the south end of San Francisco Bay, California. Moffett Field isn't an ordinary airstrip, it is owned by NASA. You can't land your aircraft withour permission. I read somewhere that Google is assisting NASA in Space projects providing search solutions. Dornier Alpha jet of Google is a toy being used for the big NASA projects.

It consists of three wave energy converter to produce 2.25 MW. Now this is something friendly to environment, done by portugal government. We should learn a lot from them. " The elongated metal contraptions bob up and down with the waves, while internal pistons, attached to the sea floor, remain stationary and pump hydraulic fluid. " By Charlie White [2] The energy in the oceans are enough, but it wouln't be possible to tap all the energy. If  that would be possible, we could generate 2 terawatt power energy . More than the current consumtion by our energy-starved planet.     Cool site: http://techcloud.blogpico.com :sent by ur frnd [1] http://techcloud.blogpico.com/files/2008/11/pelamis.jpg [2] http://techcloud.blogpico.comhttp%253A%252F%252Fdvice.com%252Farchives%252F2008%252F10%252Fworlds_first_wa.php http://techcloud.blogpico.com/2008/11/01/wave-farms-generating-225-mw-energy/ A Toronto based retailer developed a funny video using MAC Apple Laptops to say Happy Halloween.

The Onion maps [1] offers you cool 3d maps for the locations. This how foriegn tourist can easily navigate the places without getting confused. As of now they offer maps of 33 places.

In coming future, it would not be difficult for tourist to navigate in their favourite places, like a normal citizens.
