...sort that could reduce greenhouse gas output far beyond today’s optimistic projections. One such technology is the magnetic levitation wind turbine, a colossal rotating structure that uses magnetic levitation to minimize friction and reduce inefficiency—the same principle that allows maglev trains to travel at very high speeds. The technology was debuted in a 2006 energy conference in Beijing, but is now being pushed in America as an alternative to expansive wind farms. The companies building magnetic levitation wind turbines claim they can operate in winds as slow as 3 mph and produce one gigawatt...
...Design, and over the past year they have showcased the laser technology in Mexico City, Barcelona, Amsterdam and Vienna. Last month they showed up at a Taipei conference on new media and left behind equipment as a gift for a local graffiti group. Next summer, Powderly and Roth will travel to Beijing...
...extended their advantage to 11 points. Harris fouled out for the second time in as many games, and Harvard missed four shots from long range. This win puts Lehigh at the .500 mark after 10 games for the first time since the 2003-04 season. Next, the Crimson will travel to take on the Long Island Blackbirds on Thursday in Brooklyn, N.Y., for its third road game in a row. “We are only a third of the way through the season,” Housman said. “We’re all committed to pick...
...over-worked Harvard student’s escapist fantasies. Full-page photographs of empty highways ending in mist and deserted rest areas blend in with the barren landscape: you can almost feel the wind whistling in your ears. On closer examination, however, Brouws, far from endorsing the dream of travel, in fact denounces the dystopia of the American Dream and its obsession with mobility of all kinds.Though Brouws’s social criticism is effective without being heavy-handed or militant, it is not immediately comprehensible to a casual viewer. Brouws recognizes this in his concluding essay, written precisely because...
...those Indians rich enough to travel abroad and buy luxury imports have been made even richer by the falling dollar. The prices of some imported televisions, computers and digital cameras has fallen by around 10% in the past month or so, as inventory bought at the new exchange rates starts hitting the shelves. Also cheaper are the cost of some overseas flights and hotel rooms, especially in the U.S. "We've definitely seen growth in outbound traffic since the rupee started strengthening, both at the individual level and at the corporate level," says Madhavan Menon, the managing director of travel...
