Device Gives New Meaning to "Power Walking" By Devin Powell Science NOW Daily News 7 February 2008 The latest fad in self-powered wrist wear is the kinetic watch, a device that converts the momentum of a swinging arm into milliwatts. But researchers have unveiled a new accessory for your knees that puts the trendy timepiece to shame. Generating more than 1000 times more energy, the "Biomechanical Energy Harvester" may provide a green way to power the portable devices of the future.

  Landfill methane providing 60 percent of BMW plant's energy 

  http://www.chron.com/disp/story.mpl/ap/business/5164650.html

  GREENVILLE, S.C. — The BMW plant in Greer is getting more than 60 percent of its energy from the methane gas generated at a nearby landfill, officials said. The operation, in cooperation with the Texas ... landfill firm Waste Management, captures the methane gas, which otherwise would escape into the atmosphere, and converts it to energy. Waste Management, which has gas-to-energy projects in more than 20 states, announced recently that it intends to create about 60 additional renewable energy facilities within five years — including two more in South Carolina. The two new plants will be located at landfills in Dorchester and Jasper Counties, a spokesman said. The BMW project and Waste Management's gas-to-energy plant in Kershaw County generate nearly 16 megawatts of electricity, or enough to power at least 15,000 homes for a year. The methane gas from the Spartanburg County landfill travels nine miles by pipeline to the BMW Manufacturing plant, where it fuels turbines that generate el   [More...] [Less...]
