Inhabitat' Halloween in Green of October


Halloween is coming! When I am so upset about what should to bring out for everybody visit my blog, I just find this equipment from Inhabitat. I can bring you some of the most bizarre and dark eco products. So hold on your breath, this pin hole skull camera crafted by sculpture artist Wayne Martin Bleger. The piece, entitled Third Eye, is part of a small collection of eerie photography equipment made from metal, precious stones, and human skull with 150-year-old!


The device works by briefly exposing film inside the skull. And just like other pin hole cameras, there are no lenses, battery powered flashes, or any ability to zoom in on a subject. Bleger says he prefers this low-tech photo capturing method, because it’s the most “true representation of a segment of light and time – a pure reflection of what is at that moment.” I think this device is really so creepy. Maybe you want to own one in your Halloween. But what a pity! It’s not for sale even though you own $1 billion. About $1 billion, if you own so much money, what will you do? Do you want to spend all of them on a family home?

A $1 billion family home was completed in Mumbai, India and shaked me for a long time! The Greenest of all Buildings, Antilia house which unveiled its first renderings just over two-years ago has become a frightening reality, egregiously boasting 27 stories at 568 feet high, with a total area of over 398,000 square feet of living space. This kind of building is unprecedented and right now it appears in India­ a country which constructed within estimated to have one-third of the world’s poorest population. The Antilia truly exemplifies the disease of excessive consumption, extreme wastefulness, and unsustainable living that is permeating today’s society.

Compare to such damn thing, a massive astral power tower is much better. This design just won the 2010 Moon Capital International Design Challenge. Designed by Bryna Anderson, a graduate student from Columbia University, the concept is based on American physicist Dr. David Criswell’s proposal for a Lunar Solar Power System. It works by collecting energy on the lunar surface using photovoltaic converters and then transmitting it to Earth via microwave generators.

This design combines Dr. Criswell’s ideas with an approach towards creating Earth-normal gravity on the lunar surface using a massive rotating torus. Both concepts are hypothetically feasible, but unfortunately, far from achievable in the present day. So, this kind of building still be a theory and just a design.

Inhabitat's Week in Green of September

Swedish researchers have devised a way to turn bioluminescent jellyfish into solar cells. Because of the water in oceans become too toxic and acidified, jellyfish are increasingly overpopulate in the oceans. Using them to create carbon-neutral energy could potentially help restore the oceans to balance.

Shocker! Google's Android logo boosted from Atari Lynx title 'Gauntlet: The Third Encounter'

Back in the early 90's whilst playing our Atari Lynx -- friendless and alone, of course -- we couldn't have imagined that a second-rate spinoff of the popular Gauntlet franchise would unlock the secrets behind the birth of Google's Android OS. But, lo and behold, what has one of our faithful tipsters found down here, amongst the ruins of Gauntlet: The Third Encounter? That's right, nearly irrefutable proof that the Android team (or at least its graphic designers) have plumbed the depths of Epyx's not-quite-masterpiece for the iconic droid logo we've come to know and love.

Kia's 'Pop' electric car concept makes our inner urbanite swoon


Source from: Engadget
Kia has largely steered clear of the electric car battlegrounds, focusing instead on smaller, lower-cost options that get good enough gas mileage as-is. It ain't a bad tactic, but considering that even Rolls Royce is purportedly mulling an EV, the automaker was bound to cave to the peer pressure soon or later. During the upcoming Paris Motor Show, Kia is expected to formally introduce the oddity you see above, which is (for now) only known as the "Pop concept." The battery-powered whip will emit no emissions whatsoever, measures in at just three meters long and somehow finds enough room for three humans within. Details beyond that are scant (read: nonexistent), but you can head on over to Autoblog Green if you need a few more images to chew on.

Eight of the Coolest Aqua Rides in our World

I found this interesting message in MSN, I love thsoe special items so much, so I reprint it from that website.Now let's take a vision jounery!

It wasn't long ago that the idea of a car converting into a submarine was nothing more than a film-industry fantasy. But in the past few years, modern-day mad scientists have turned this and other mind-blowing amphibious vehicles into reality. The Rinspeed sQuba, for example, is a Lotus Elise with five electric motors, two propellers and a couple of jet nozzles that let it dive and swim underwater, much like the Lotus Esprit that James Bond drove in "The Spy Who Loved Me." While the one-off sQuba might cost $1.5 million to build, other amazing amphibious cars cost much less and make the quaint old Amphicars and SchwimmWagens of decades past seem like antique bathtub toys. Here are our picks for eight of the coolest aqua rides.

Huge Solar Storm Triggers Unusual Auroras

Original Artical from NG

According to the National Geographic reported last week, on Aug. 11 , Huge Solar storm triggered spectacular Auroras. More surprisingly, this phenomenon has remained for several days. Look the following these astronomical wonders, you will marvel at the uncanny workmanship of nature. 

Solar ExtremeSolar Extreme

A bright swirl (left of center) on the sun marks the spot where a tumult of plasma sent out the August 1 coronal mass ejection that sparked last week's auroras, as seen in a mosaic picture taken by the Solar Dynamics Observatory. Different colors show regions of temperature variation on the sun.

Solar activity rises and falls on a regular cycle of about 11 years. The last period of peak activity ended in 2001, and it led into a long-lasting quiet spell. 

Along with a recent flurry of sunspots, the August eruptions seem to be signs of the star's reawakening—good news for aurora fans, but potential trouble for satellites, astronauts, and some Earthly technologies.

Seen from the shores of Lake Superior, an August 4 aurora glows green topped with blueish-purple. Auroras glow in different colors based on the types of atoms in the atmosphere and how high they are in the sky.
