...applying this knowledge. We have to realize that is isn't necessary to join the EAC or any other group to make Harvard greener. Look around your room and take a measure of your impact. Do you leave you computer on all the time? How many of those 300 watt torchiere lamps do you own? Do you leave the lights on when you go out? Little things done by a few thousand of us have a huge impact...
Life or art? Both. Freud insists that he always lets his sitters take their own natural poses, rather than setting them up -- as well they might, given the arduous business of being painted for 80 sittings or more under the glare of the 200-watt bulbs in his studio. But whether by accident or design, flashbacks to past art do crop up regularly...
...output, the onlookers erupted in cheers, and not a few tears. Some of them had worked on the project for more than 20 years, and the success of the experiment last week proved that the time had not been wasted. Not only had the researchers trounced the 1.7 million-watt record set by a similar European reactor early last year, they had also taken a major step toward exploiting a safe, clean source of power that uses fuels extracted from ordinary water...
...Schumann '93-'94, WHRB'S chief engineer, said the station's old transmitter must produce a 7,000 watt signal in Harvard square in order to send a 3,000 watt signal beyond Cambridge. He said the extra wattage "just goes into...
What's making solar energy so hot? For one thing, the technology is getting better and cheaper. The price of the photovoltaic cells that convert sunlight to electricity has fallen precipitously from $500 a watt in the 1960s to about $4 today. Companies are now rushing to break the $2 barrier, which would reduce the residential cost of solar electricity from 30 cents per kWh to near the 12 cents average price of electricity in California. Leading contestants in the scramble are Texas Instruments and Southern California Edison, which have joined forces to produce flexible solar panels from inexpensive...
