Problem: The problem as the majority of people think now, is the climate change. I for my part say that it is a question of a climate mixing. I mean that the climate zones of the Earth, the tropic, sub-tropic, temperate, sub-arctic and arctic, are mixing at an accelerating pace. The most important point is not if the average temperature of the global climate is rising or falling or keeping as such, but the key point is the melting of the continental glaciers that will not happen peacefully. The warm a...

Action: Electric Brick - El-Brick, My Free Invention   The El-Brick is an electric generating brick that gives a certain direct current and voltage when it is heated on one side, and kept cool on the other side. The El-Brick takes advantage of a phenomenon called heat electricity, not the photo voltaic one. When bricks like this are connected in a parallel, as well as in a series, greater currents, voltages and powers can be gained. Even entire brick walls could be built from them to absorb the elect...

Problem: The most common method used to generate electricity is by burning fossil fuels. This method not only creates a large amount of pollutants, but is also unsustainable. Current solar technology, although sustainable, is expensive and requires large amounts of electricity and silicon to manufacture due to the purity of silicon needed.   To make matters worse, silicon cells need to have a close to optimum conditions to work. That means - no shadows are being cast on the cells, it has to be a relat...

Action: Dyesol is leading the industrialisation of dye solar cell (DSC) technology, the most advanced 3rd generation solar technology. DSC has been described as the most promising advancement of solar technology since the invention of the silicon cell.   DSC has been described as 'artificial photosynthesis'. Instead of using chlorophyll, DSC uses a very thin layer of special dyes, on a very thin layer of light absorbing material to collect the energy from sunlight. This energy is transformed into ele...

Problem: The current transportation system - particularly in mega-cities (such as Mexico City) - is already starting to become obsolete, un-efficient, as well as a significant source of air pollution; it is a problem with many social & ecological consequences. Visit www.ecosite.ws/nuestroporque or www.climatecrisis.net to get a deeper description about this issue.

Action: EcoSITE - Soluciones Integrales de Transporte Ecológico (Integral Solutions of Ecological Transportation) - is a movement (originated in 2003) that joins talented engineers, industrial designers, urbanists, ecologists, researchers, volunteers, among other experts, specialists and professionals in different areas (specially from the main colleges and universities, starting in Mexico). The main objective is to design prototypes, distribute and offer leasing services through individual ecologica...

Problem: The Produktif SunSpaces ( Implemented at the Montreal Productive House condo project) is a prototype innovation for applying passive solar design to balconies and patios, allowing these spaces to become become 3- to 4- season winter gardens.To seize the essence of this feature, think of the housing envelope as the skin that reacts to outdoor weather, sun, temperature and humidity, or a house that expands or shrinks according to the seasons and the needs to either conserve heat (shrink) or exp...

Action: New Product Development Process:In order to develop the SunSpaces, a dedicated team was set-up to deal with this challenge as a standalone project. The object was to build a prototype specifically for the Montreal Productive House, with design principles and application methods that can be replicated and scaled for other projects.The solution was designed to rely on already existing materials. Several precedents exist from the vernacular architecture, ranging from verandas found in hot climat...

Problem: Paying for electricity can be a thing of the past - I've combined saving money by eradicating my electricity bill, lessening my footprint on the earth and fulfilling my DIY cravings all at once!

Action: I like to take my own action and have absolute control in what i do - thats why I liked this product.  I can do what i like when i like with it.
