    document.getElementById("noticia_txt").innerHTML = "<br>The hurricane and tsunami led to numerous damages, casualties and asset losses all round the world these years. These disasters are urgent and can not be avoided. They will cause economic and social threats like the poverty, infectious diseases and environmental degradation, so how to prevent this natural disaster is an urgent task. The only method is to establish effective warning mechanisms to deal with the global crisis.<br><br>The reason causes the hurricane is the increasing sea temperature, because the hurricane will get the energy from the hot and wet air over the sea surface. In fact, because of the global warming and the increasing sea temperature, tropical storm, hurricane and the tsunami will be more intensive. <br><br>An ocean research company named Atmocean has reached the scientific conclusion that: as every 1F sea temperature decreased, the power of the hurricane will be decreased by 5%. If the wind force is decreased from 120 miles/hour(about 193km/hour) to 110 miles/hour(about 117 km/hour), the damage will be decreased by 23%<br><br>Facing the disasters like the hurricane and the tsunami, and the vicious cycle of natural disasters caused by global warming, we cannot sit still. Reasonable effects can not be reached only by reducing emitting the greenhouse gas. Globally, more and more companies and people brought up the concepts such as “Low Carbon”, “Green”.<br><br>To a designer, these are not only the simple slogans. Therefore, we should make full use of our wisdom, utilize the natural power, ‘Let the nature conquer the nature’ and accelerate the consumption of the greenhouse gas so that we can control the effects of the greenhouse gas, hurricane and tsunami. We should cool the sea which will cause hurricane and tsunami and move at once!<br><br>My proposal is a unidirectional pipe in the ocean (shown in manuscript). By the vertical drift of the maglev cylinder inside the pipe, the nutrients and cold water in the deep sea can be transported to the shallow sea to stimulate the photosynthesis of the marine plants such as alga so that more greenhouse gases can be absorbed and the carbon-absorbing ability of the ocean is enhanced. Meanwhile the outlet water can accelerate the heat exchanging to reduce the atmosphere temperature. The energy in the whole process is supplied by two sources: sea wave and solar cells. For the sea wave, more turbulent the wave is, the colder the sea water pumped is, the higher the temperature drop of surface sea water is, and the stronger the ability of repressing the hurricane is. The solar cells whose directions are controlled by the microelectronic circuits are fixed on the whole system. Due to the two sources, no fuel will be consumed and no extra greenhouse gas will be generated. In this design, a new idea is proposed to alleviate and stop global warming so that the hurricane and tsunami can be depressed. By this active and innovative defensive measure, the loss can be reduced to the lowest level and the earth will become better.<br><br><br><br><ul class='imgs_list'><li><a href='http://www.feeltheplanetearth.org/2009/pdf/17_1.pdf' target='_blank'><img src='imgs/pdf.jpg' width='17' height='17' /><span> PRESENTATION</span></a></li><li><a href='http://www.feeltheplanetearth.org/2009/pdf/17_2.pdf' target='_blank'><img src='imgs/pdf.jpg' width='17' height='17' /><span> PRESS RELEASE</span></a></li></ul>";

In cooperation with the local company Kamworks they designed an affordable solar-powered LED lamp for the rural population in Cambodia.<br><br><u>Kamworks</u><br>Kamworks is a young company specialized in the supply and manufacturing of affordable solar energy solutions for rural communities and people who do not have access to reliable electricity in Cambodia.<br>Currently, the company’s core business is the installation and distribution of Solar Home Systems. In order to reach families with lower incomes, Kamworks wanted to investigate possibilities for a more affordable lighting solution in the range of $10-20. Due to their energy efficiency and price range compatibility, white LEDs could easily be tailored around the basic needs.<br><br><u>Rural households</u><br>House visits, interviews, observatory and participatory research in the rural areas gave good insight into the lifestyle and wishes of the target group. The new lamp should completely substitute the kerosene lamp which is widely spread in the rural households. The poor quality of the light, the flammability and health hazards as well as the highly volatile fuel prices were the main drivers.<br>The field research led to several main conclusions. First, people needed a portable lamp. Different rooms are to be lit, and most consumers cannot afford more than one lamp. Furthermore, a dimmed light during the night was needed, to orientate in the dark and to feel safe while saving energy at the same time. In addition, the inventive character of the Cambodians and the completely improvised style of their houses called for a highly flexible product that people could use as they wished.<br><br><u>Ampoul Preahchan</u><br>The design is called MoonLight (“Ampoul Preahchan” in Khmer). It has a triangular shape and includes a cord that is attached at the three corner points. It can be hung from a wall or ceiling, carried by hand or hung around the neck. It contains six wide-angle LEDs with a total light output of about four kerosene lamps in the full mode. The included 0.5 Wp solar panel can be fixed to a bamboo pole with a standard clamp, discouraging theft. The product mainly consists of two vacuum-formed outer shells and two vacuum-formed blisters that hold the electronics together and buffer them at the same time for possible shocks.<br>The final user tests pointed out that the product is indeed an appropriate solution for the stated problem. People could easily understand and use the product. Most of the families of the final user test were enthusiastic and even willing to buy the prototypes on the spot. Also the Dutch directors of Kamworks expect the product to become a success in the Cambodian market and are highly motivated to launch the MoonLight as soon as possible.<br>All plastic parts are biodegradable, the aluminum structure is fully recyclable and the Li-ion battery can be refurbished.<br><br><br><br><ul class='imgs_list'><li><a href='http://www.feeltheplanetearth.org/2009/pdf/219_1.pdf' target='_blank'><img src='imgs/pdf.jpg' width='17' height='17' /><span> PRESENTATION</span></a></li><li><a href='http://www.feeltheplanetearth.org/2009/pdf/219_2.pdf' target='_blank'><img src='imgs/pdf.jpg' width='17' height='17' /><span> PRESS RELEASE</span></a></li></ul>";

    document.getElementById("noticia_txt").innerHTML = "<br>The CO2W concept turns methane, a harmful greenhouse gas produced by livestock, into a valuable renewable resource for farms and farmers. Livestock animals naturally produce methane as part of their digestive process. According to the Worldwatch Institute, almost 20 percent of global methane emissions come from livestock. Methane is a potent greenhouse gas, nearly 24 times more potent than carbon dioxide, the culprit at the center of the global warming discussions. Methane is the principal component of natural gas, when it is burned or oxidized in the atmosphere; it produces carbon dioxide and water. The relative abundance of methane and its clean-burning process makes it a very attractive potential fuel. The CO2W concept combines ancient harness/bridle technology with nanotube and compressive gas capture technology to allow the safe containment and transportation of methane released from livestock. As methane is naturally released from cows, it is captured and compressed in a removable storage container. When the storage container is full, it is disconnected from the harness on the cow and the gas is transferred into a larger compressed gas vessel. The methane can then be processed and used to power or heat the farm or sold as a commodity. The CO2W concept is capable of recovering 40 liters of CH4 per cow, per day. With over 1.5 billion cows in the world, there is the potential for collecting over 60 billion liters of methane every day. That’s over 21 trillion-liters of methane a year. Aaron Szymanski, founder and President of Evo Design came up with the concept for CO2W after he read an article about hazards of the cattle industry. Szymanski’s wideranging work with Evo Design (www.evodesign.com) includes housewares, children’s toys, electronics, medical equipment and more. For Szymanski, what joins all the work together is the approach: seeking a vision of what the product should be, not just today, but for the future. “If a design has integrity of vision and execution, it should never become obsolete.” Szymanski received formal training at Ohio’s Columbus College of Art and Design, and obtained his BFA in Industrial Design. He launched Evo Design in 1997. Szymanski is a strong advocate of environmentally responsible design. In an effort to promote eco design, Szymanski created a partnership with Preserve Products to produce 100% recycled/ 100% recyclable kitchenware products. He is currently teaching a sustainable design course at NYU. He guest lectures at colleges like MIT, RISD, the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Yale, and the Columbus College of Art and Design.<br><br><br><br><ul class='imgs_list'><li><a href='http://www.feeltheplanetearth.org/2009/pdf/237_1.pdf' target='_blank'><img src='imgs/pdf.jpg' width='17' height='17' /><span> PRESENTATION</span></a></li><li><a href='http://www.feeltheplanetearth.org/2009/pdf/237_2.pdf' target='_blank'><img src='imgs/pdf.jpg' width='17' height='17' /><span> PRESS RELEASE</span></a></li></ul>";
