AquaSchool created with the intention of providing educational services, related studies and sustainable use of aquatic organisms and environments natural or artificial harbor them, making use of current computer technologies for distance learning.
In this way everyone has access to a personal computer connected to the Internet, can take a course in freedom, freed from the need to go into a classroom located in a given space and time stipulated.

In fact, as a student to follow a distance course with the computer has the following significant advantages:

Panels LED lighting space

from the blog actionmutant.net

LED To understand the dynamics of operation of the LED lamps in the growth of plants you can search for useful information in studies performed by NASA on advanced life support for astronauts.

The draft long space voyages, such as lead man on Mars, is faced with the need to ensure food and fresh air to the crew during their stay in space.

The growth of traditional lamps are not a viable option, given the high power consumption and heat output. For this reason the search for alternative solutions is oriented more and more towards systems that use LED panels, which show considerable advantages such as energy efficiency, emission spectrum stable, greater security, low heat emission, longer duration, small size.

I found some very interesting material in the archives of "American Society for Gravitational and Space Biology" and in particular in these 2 publications from which I drew most of the information in this article:

Hydroponic Fodder

foraggio-idroponico It seems strange, but also in the desert is virtually possible to adequately feed sheep, horses or cows with relatively cool herbs rich in minerals.
The solution is a room of cultivation seeds automated, ie a technology of production of plant biomass in a controlled environment, obtained from the germination and the rapid growth of the plants, with the result of forage high digestibility, nutritional quality high and very suitable for 's animal feed.
The supply of fresh herbs beneficial to livestock health, making it stronger, healthy, fertile and productive.

What is it in practice? We speak of a special chamber of hydroponic cultivation, a sort of super growroom, inside of which are grown in trays oats, barley, corn, wheat, sorghum, alfalfa.

Even during the bad weather, or climate regions less suitable it is possible today to get hydroponic crops able to meet the needs of livestock.

Wind Power - World Wind

ROME - More than 200,000 employees worldwide and revenues of 18 billion euros (in 2007). These are the numbers of wind that makes a true record eolico boom in the last 10 years with a growth close to 30%. It is celebrated today, June 15, 2009, the World Day for raw materials, the wind, which will be an opportunity, through a series of events to raise awareness on the issue of climate change and the importance of the choice of energy clean.

The initiative will involve 29 countries with the joint coordination of the European Wind Energy Association (EWEA) and the Global Wind Energy Council (GWEC). In Italy have already started a series of events organized by the National Association of Wind Energy (Anev), which will extend until June 28. The most important thing is organized in Rome at the Deer Park in Villa Borghese in the space multifunctional shovel-energy association. At Villa Borghese has been set up a wind turbine to allow visitors to learn practically the energy generated by wind.

PROTOCOL FOR WIND POWER - A protocol for the support of the National Association wind energy wind (Anev) and Greenpeace and Legambiente. An agreement reached a few days before the World Day of the wind. The President dell'Anev, Oreste Vigorito, focused on the absence of national regulation of wind energy: "There are no clear rules across the country but each region adopts its own guidelines.

Kyoto Box, a cardboard solar oven

climate change challenge It was concluded in April, the Climate Change Challenge sponsored by the Financial Times, with interesting results.

The challenge was to find commercially viable ideas to reduce harmful emissions and combat climate change caused by pollution.
Among the finalists are also some solutions for saving energy that leave quite perplexed: let 's see what popped up.

With the evocative name of Black Phantom is presented a machine capable of transforming the biomass into charcoal, a form very stable of coal.

The machinery is transportable and consists in a sort of enormous microwave able to convert various scraps of agricultural production and processing of wood in combustible material.

In reality the process was already known, it is not a real invention, but rather a rediscovery in key updating.

Serra aeroponics. How does it work?

Now not many people are surprised seeing the plants grow lush outside a substrate, with the roots dangling. aeroponica-radici-aeroponica-radici
Remains any case be considered in many ways a technique futuristic that dell'aeroponica, in which a mist of nutrient solution is sprayed directly on the root system allowing considerable water saving, labor and fertilizers.
The aeroponia can remedy some flaws hydroponics, where it is sometimes possible to find an environment that is too wet (and consequent formation of mold and algae) and in case of open systems "lose" the risk of pollution from fertilizers or of substrates (such as the rock wool, in case of growers who act in a manner little ethics).
Additionally, the use of water is truly reduced to lowest terms.
