O we have developed a product is the saveheat panel, and we intend on selling these panels to households at 225€/panel. O the tile is heated using the same technology every household has in its home: microwaves. -the microwaves are produced in a heating cell, which you can see in the top ri..

Bioshade

Bioshade wrote: Bioshade is the result of mixing a green wall with a shading system in order to achieve a biophilic, building component that is living and changing, intended to filter solar radiation on one hand, and create a complex sensorial indoor experience on the other. It is not intended to crowd a wall, but to use the glazed surfaces of buildings, especially curtain walls of austere office buildings to create a vertical garden that shades and enriches the interior space in a way that resembles the loved and familiar feeling of siting (and working) in the peaceful shade of a tree...

PowerWithinU

PowerWithinU wrote: Our charger was created thanks to rising popularity of mobile devices. Unfortunately they often run out of power pretty quickly and require frequent charging. This results in high need for electric power and increases amount of greenhouse gases in the atmosphere. Thanks to our device this problem can be fixed with the power of our own muscles on a way to work or school. During longer journeys it can also power one of many 6v devices like micro-fridge without increasing our carbon footprint. It is targeted towards cyclists, fans of new technologies and bike rental centers. In greater perspective our device will reduce demand for electric power, what will result in decrease of amount of greenhouse gases and dusts in atmosphere...
