Why Nikola Tesla Was The Greatest Geek That Ever Lived

When we think of geeks, we usually think of Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking and  Bill Gates etc. But beyond the recent present there is a name that we now but not always remember - Nikola Tesla. Sometimes considered the father of the electrical age, Tesla had pioneered inventions ahead of most people’s imaginations. For example: Marconi the winner of the noble prize for physics for creating the radio, based his work on Tesla’s research. I believe the infographic, provided via the title link, speaks to his contribution to science and how we should reconsider him as the one of the top 5 innovators in history. 

90% Less Electricity, 80% Less Energy Air Conditioning

Researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) invented a breakthrough technology that improves air conditioning in a novel way—with heat. NREL combined desiccant materials, which remove moisture from the air using heat, and advanced evaporative technologies to develop a cooling unit that uses 90% less electricity and up to 80% less total energy than traditional air conditioning (AC). This solution, called the desiccant enhanced evaporative air conditioner (DEVAP), also controls humidity more effectively to improve the comfort of people in buildings.

USB stick sized DNA sequencing device announced. Oxford Nanopore Technologies has said that it’s disposable gene sequencing device will be available by the end of 2012. Priced under US$900, the MinION device plugs into a computer and delivers results via the USB port. A minaturized version of the company’s larger GridION device, the MinION uses pores made from bacterial proteins. An electric current flows through the pore. The DNA bases interrupt the current in different ways as they go through.

Smarter Energy  Outlets

Authentication Outlet Newly Developed: Realized by combination of the contactless IC card technology and the new technology “RFID Over Power Line”

Sony has developed an authentication outlet that can manage and allow electricity use by identifying a user or device (or both) based on authentication. This new technology aims at an outlet, an infrastructure that electricity always flows through when used. Using this outlet, the user can actively control and manage power consumption on a user basis as well as on a device basis.
