Sustainable Technologies
The solution for today’s issue is a habitat dependent on the international energy and water grid. The Urban Living Generator began with a brief in developing and conceptualizing of sustainable vertical housing design for Cabanatuan City by embracing the SIBOL Project or Sustainable and Intelligent Biosphere for Optimistic Living .
Sustainable Energies is now one of the prominent ways forward to solve the energy crisis and hence we present our idea based on Tidal Energy recovery and conversion to electrical energy via means of High Head Turbines.
This project is related to power generating apparatus suitable for use in extracting energy from the movement of water, particularly tidal movement.
Energy for transportation vehicles is undergoing a transformation from gas to electricity - why and how does this happen? The primary drivers for 'why' are:
1) Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) regulations require 40+ mpg with gas vehicles @ 25 mpg, hybrid vehicles @ 50 mpg and electric vehicles (EVs) @ 100+ empg.
This project is about thermal insulation for horizontal rooftops through tiles manufactured with recycled crumb rubber from scrap tires that responds to socio-ecological problems caused by scrap tire piles, such as impacts to the ecosystem (fires/groundwater pollution…), health impacts (vectors/fires...
Background
Older toilets can use 3.5, 5, or even up to 7 gallons per flush (gpf). Toilets typically account for 30 percent of daily water consumption. The current US national standard is 1.6 gpf, while the California standard is 1.28 gpf.
A wooden lamp uses tree trunks as its truss, not including metal or concrete poles. At the same time, the project interacts with the tree movement caused by the wind or other factors. Cooperation while moving trees with a lamp in this design project is possible thanks to the ball hinges and telescopic arms.
