Desalination – Experimental techniques and other developments

In the past, many novel desalination techniques have been researched with varying degrees of success. Some, such as forward osmosis, are still on the drawing board now while others have attracted research funding. For example, to offset the energy requirements of desalination, the U.S. government is working to develop practical solar desalination. As an example [...]

Phosphate homeostasis – Phosphorylation

The addition of a phosphate (PO4) group to another molecule, including any protein, is phosphorylation. Many enzymes and receptors are switched “on” or “off” by phosphorylation. Phosphorylation is catalyzed by specific protein kinases. Dephosphorylation is catalyzed by phosphatases. Phosphorylation of any amino acid having a free hydroxyl group on a given protein can change the [...]

Hornblower Hybrid – Introduction

Hornblower Hybrid is the first known multi-hulled hybrid ferry boat in the United States. It is the first hybrid ferry in San Francisco, and the first hybrid ferry to be used to transport visitors to a National Park (Alcatraz). The Hornblower Hybrid was built by Alcatraz Cruises in 2008. It uses a combination of solar, [...]

Exxaro – Efforts Against Climate Change

Exxaro has adopted a consolidated approach with all related issues integrated under the energy management steering committee. This previously functioned as the clean energy forum but has been realigned to increase the prioritisation and management focus given to this important issue. Exxaro remains committed to the energy efficiency accord signed in 2005 and, by participating [...]

Flame detection – Sunlight

The sun emits an enormous amount of energy, which could have been harmful to human beings. Luckily all types of vapours and gases in the atmosphere, like water (clouds) ozone and other vapours and gases in the air, that the sunlight is filtered. In the figure it can well be seen that “cold” CO2 filters [...]

Renewable heat – Leading renewable heat technologies

Solar heating Solar heating is a style of building construction which uses the energy of summer or winter sunshine to provide an economic supply of primary or supplementary heat to a structure. The heat can be used for both space heating and water heating (see solar hot water). Solar heating design is divided into two [...]

Walter Berg – 13-sign astrology

13-sign astrology differs from western astrology mainly in that western astrology uses the moving zodiac as opposed to the fixed zodiac. Because of the gradual tilting of the Earth on its axis, the zodiac appears to be moving at the rate of one degree approximately every seventy-two years. Currently, the movable zodiac is out of [...]

Sex magic – Samael Aun Weor

The crux of Samael Aun Weor’s teachings is what he calls “white sexual magic”, the paramount tenet of which is to conclude the act without orgasm or ejaculation from either the man or woman. Thus, instead of the sexual energy being [...]
