What are Air-Trekkers?

Originally invented and patented by German engineer Alexander Boeck, Air-Trekkers are a spring-loaded stilt that you safely strap onto each leg. Once strapped on, you stand 18″ taller, with 3 foot long, space-age, carbon-fiber springs attached to your legs, ready to send you into orbit. By means of compression and deflection, similar to a trampoline, the spring accumulates, stores and returns the amount of energy you put into it. The harder you press down – the more energy you accumulate – the bigger the return. More on Technology News.

This post is less about gadgets and more bout ecology and earth protection.

Every day 4 million cups of coffee are served in Styrofoam or paper cups and end up in landfills across the US. Even paper cups may seem biodegradable, but the conventional coating on hot cups prevents them from even being compostable.

Reports show that only 5 % of the plastic in the world is recycled, and styrofoam takes 200 years to decompose.

It is the time to do something and stop the Styrofoam and paper cup use in your office.

The eco mugs could be the solution for a better environment.

Ecomarathon


Shell launched a competition called Ecomarathon (Eco-marathon).

Ecomarathon is about driving technology innovation for improved energy efficiency. The Shell Eco-marathon challenges students around the world to design, build, and test vehicles that travel further using less energy. See this video for more details

A little history

The Shell Eco-marathon began in 1939 at a Shell research laboratory in the U.S. as a friendly wager between scientists to see who could get the most miles per gallon from their vehicles. From these humble origins, the organized competition for fuel economy evolved and moved to Europe. The Shell Eco-marathon in its current form began in 1985 in France, attracting thousands of young engineers and scientists from 20 European countries. The Shell Eco-marathon Americas was first held at the California Speedway in 2007.

Rules

The vehicles may use one of the following fuel or energy types:

  • Shell Unleaded 95 (EU) / Shell Plus 89 (US) Petrol/Gasoline
  • Shell Diesel
  • Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG)
  • Shell Gas To Liquid (100% GTL)
  • Fatty Acid Methyl Ester (100% FAME)
  • Ethanol E100 (100% Ethanol)
  • Hydrogen
  • Solar

The complete list of rules can be found on Shell website. So if you know how to build fuel saving gadgets this competition may be good for you.
