Architectural firm People's Industrial Design Office has designed a community garden in Beijing which is transported around the big city by bicycle to give big city dwellers with no access to their own garden a taste of rural farming. The mobile farm, dubbed 'Bike Share Farm', sits on top of two bicycles and can be cycled from place to place. Pipes run across the metal base with holes for potted plants while solar panels provide energy for the watering system.
The developers of a solar-powered computer hope it can change the lives of millions in developing countries.
Banister House Solar Project is UK's largest community energy project on social housing. For residents at the Hackney estate, the life changing project has become a source of not just energy but also information, profit and career.
Researchers at the University of Washington just successfully tested Wi-Fi charging. A recent report in Wired detailed how the researchers equipped a variety of devices with sensors to take Wi-Fi signals from a router and turn them into DC power. The team wanted the system to integrate with pre-existing Wi-Fi infrastructure, so they gave an off-the-shelf Asus router a software update to make it work as both a wireless power source and as a conventional Wi-Fi router. Impressive numbers for sure, but they're hampered by the Federal Communications Commission's limit of one-watt power outputs on wireless routers
