Pulling almost unlimited energy from the ocean’s waves, tides, and currents isn’t a new quest. But Aquamarine Power’s Oyster takes a simple approach that may just find that holy grail.
So far, harnessing ocean power has been tough, due the sea’s brutal, machine-crushing operating environment. (Turns out Neptune’s an angry, vengeful god.) But Aquamarine has a solution:

WOMBLE IS OUR OLD DOG OF THE WEEK!
Womble is 7 years old so is really quite a young “oldie” and now that he’s lost 10 kgs he has plenty of energy and loves going out for his walks.

I’m a big fan of electronic music, but tend to prefer really creative stuff rather than some guy just noodling on a synthesizer. Few, however, can match the creativity of Peruvian musician Jaime Oliver. While he shouldn’t be confused with the English chef with a similar name, this Oliver manages to cook up his own wonderful stew of amazing sounds.
His Silent Drum may look like any old regular drum that you beat with your hand or some sticks, but it’s really an incredibly sophisticated synthesizer control surface. A camera pointed at the bottom of the flexible top skin measures any deflections in the surface, and translates them into a fantastic array of chilling industrial music. Just check out the video to get the idea.
Oliver is currently working towards a PhD in computer music at UC San Diego, and while I have no idea what his future plans are, I’m sure there are plenty of movie producers up in Hollywood who could make use of his talents.

Perhaps the most common manifestation of our urge to be "green" these days is recycling.
After all, it makes intuitive sense to get the most use out of any given object. And when it’s applied, recycling generally works as designed, turning waste paper into fresh paper or old aluminum cans into new ones.
