Story: Solar power batteries

I found a very cool little story about a new product that will be coming out by SunCat batteries. It is a pretty interesting idea but I don't know how well it would actually work out. I like the idea of solar energy but it's just not practical, at least not until they make further advances in the technology. The picture is a home-made version of their design. I would love to see some one design this as a build but I have no idea were you would find flexible solar cells. Anyways here is the story if your interested. Keep on building.

Story: Scotch tape X-rays

A little while a go I found this very interesting little story on the Internet that claims that there was a scientific discovery that when you peel scotch tape from human skin it emits x-rays. I have no idea if this is actually possible but it sounds very interesting so that I thought that I would post it. The go on to talk about the applications of this for taking x-rays in third world countries that are unable to afford x-ray machines. I don't think that scotch tape would create enough x-rays as a regular x-ray tube but you never know. Keep on building.

Build: USB solar charger

A little while ago I found myself on an interesting little site. It's a simple design that seems to be pretty cheap to make. I'm pretty happy that at the end of the video he does a real-life test of the solar array rather then just his indoor testing because that light the he uses for that is fairly strong. I don't really think that there is a large amount of energy that can come from this build since most days, atleast not here in Toronto, are not as sunny. But go ahead a build it and prove me wrong. Here is the video anyways for anyone that is interested. Keep building.
