According to the survey of Ministry of Education, Culture, Sports, Science and Technology, in Kawamata machi, Fukushima,
where is in the planned evacuation area, leaves of Japanese cedar contain 177,600 Bq/Kg of radioactive cesium.
In Okutama, just west to Tokyo, pollen of Japanese cedar contains 93.8 Bq/Kg,leaves contain 322 Bq/Kg, soil contains 1,381 Bq/Kg. From their calculation, next year, pollen of over 50,000 Bq/Kg will fly around. Pollen of Japanese cedar fly for tens of Km, over 300km when it’s on the wind.
Tokyo is only 220km away from Fukushima.
It is highly likely that Tokyo gets hit by the highly contaminated pollen.
I strongly recommend you to leave Tokyo before radioactive pollen hit here.

Japanese government is going to build a remote Japan in India
Posted by Mochizuki on January 14th, 2012 http://fukushima-diary.com/
Japanese government is going to build a remote Japanese city in Chennai of India by cooperating with private sector.
It can accommodate 50,000 people with factory complex, shopping mall, and hospital etc..
Edano, minister of economy visited Chennal on 1/10/2012 to ask for the state’s help.
Mizuho corporate bank and JGC corporation are going to invest 4 billion JPY on the local development company.
Factory complex (2.3 km2) will start being sold from this summer, they will already start operating the factories
in 2013.Residential area will have 2 km2 area, consist of resort city beside Indian ocean, which will be developed from 2013. Japanese shopping mall,golf course, hospitals with Japanese doctors will be included too.
This plan was announced without any advance notice, and starting the factories in 2013 is
really soon.It’s giving some Japanese people the impression that Japanese government is building the ark only for rich people. http://fukushima-diary.com/

Offsetting Global Warming: Molecule in Earth's Atmosphere Could 'Cool the Planet'
ScienceDaily (Jan. 12, 2012) — Scientists have shown that a newly discovered
molecule in Earth's atmosphere has the potential to play a significant role in off-setting
global warming by cooling the planet.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
In a breakthrough paper published in Science, researchers from The University of Manchester, The University of Bristol and Sandia National Laboratories report the potentially revolutionary effects of Criegee biradicals.These invisible chemical intermediates are powerful oxidisers of pollutants such as nitrogen dioxide and sulfur dioxide, produced by combustion, and can naturally clean up the atmosphere.Although these chemical intermediates were hypothesised in the 1950s, it is only now that they have been detected.
Scientists now believe that, with further research, these species could play a major role in off-setting climate change.The detection of the Criegee biradical and measurement
of how fast it reacts was made possible by a unique apparatus, designed by Sandia researchers, that uses light from a third-generation synchrotron facility, at the Lawrence
Berkeley National Laboratory's Advanced Light Source.The intense, tunable light from the synchrotron allowed researchers to discern the formation and removal of different
isomeric species -- molecules that contain the same atoms but arranged in different combinations.The researchers found that the Criegee biradicals react more rapidly than
first thought and will accelerate the formation of sulphate and nitrate in the atmosphere. These compounds will lead to aerosol formation and ultimately to cloud formation
with the potential to cool the planet.The formation of Criegee biradicals was first postulated by Rudolf Criegee in the 1950s. However, despite their importance, it has not
been possible to directly study these important species in the laboratory.In the last 100 years, Earth's average surface temperature increased by about 0.8 °C with about
two thirds of the increase occurring over just the last three decades.
Most countries have agreed that drastic cuts in greenhouse gas emissions are required, and that future global warming should be limited to below 2.0 °C (3.6 °F).Dr Carl Percival, Reader in Atmospheric Chemistry at The University of Manchester and one of the authors of the paper, believes there could be significant research possibilities arising from the
discovery of the Criegee biradicals.
He said: "Criegee radicals have been impossible to measure until this work carried out at the Advanced Light Source. We have been able to quantify how fast Criegee radicals
react for the first time."Our results will have a significant impact on our understanding of the oxidising capacity of the atmosphere and have wide ranging implications for
pollution and climate change. "The main source of these Criegee biradicals does not depend on sunlight and so these processes take place throughout the day and night."
Dudley Shallcross, Professor in Atmospheric Chemistry at The University of Bristol, added: "A significant ingredient required for the production of these Criegee biradicals
comes from chemicals released quite naturally by plants, so natural ecosystems could be playing a significant role in off-setting warming."

Charles
We met with Kertz in March at which time he estimated his system would be ready to
go to market in the fourth quarter of '08 or the first quarter of '09. Needless to say, I'm
not all that patient !! But you can't rush these things. We are going to be in Texas in
August, if they have anything worthwhile to see we will ask for an appointment to meet
again, this time in El Paso. Kertz presents his concept very well, but there is a lot of
proving up to be done. If he can reach his production goals, and if the price is
economically realistic, we would like to be at the front of the line for his product.
We have spoken with the marketing partners, they expect the price of a unit ( a unit is
a one acre plant ) to range between half a million and one million dollars. A unit is
projected to produce somewhere near one hundred thousand gallons of algae oil per
year. So you would just scale it up to as many gallons of end product ( BioDiesel ) as
you want to enter the marketplace with. We think five million gallons of BioDiesel per
year would be the right starting point for Dade County Florida, with the potential to
double or quadruple production in future. We know of forty million gallons per year in
half a dozen industrial and institutional fleets in Dade County.
Please consider this email as feedback for your emails in general. Most of your emails
are very interesting to us, but the sheer volume of traffic does not leave enough hours
in the day to manage the simple courtesies of a timely feedback.

Japanese researchers invent completely transparent material
by Evan Blass, posted May 2nd 2006 at 2:50PM
In a breakthrough that could benefit fields as diverse as networking, photography, astronomy, and peeping,
science-types at Japan's Institute of Physical and Chemical Research have unveiled their prototype of a
glass-like material that they claim to be 100% transparent. Unlike normal glass, which reflects some of the
incoming light, the new so-called metamaterial --composed of a grid of gold or silver nanocoils embedded
in a prism-shaped, glass-like material -- uses its unique structural properties to achieve a negative refractive
index, or complete transparency. Although currently just a one-off proof-of-concept (pictured, under an
electron microscope), mass-produced versions of the new material could improve fiber optic communications,
contribute to better telescopes and cameras, or lead to the development of completely new optical equipment.

A Major Lithium Ion Battery Improvement Is Verified
March 4, 2010 24 Comments
Planar Energy has received the official confirmation of engineering samples performance from the University of Central Florida that verify the company’s internal tests.
Scott Faris, President and CEO of Planar Energy says, “This fundamental materials breakthrough, coupled with our proprietary low-cost manufacturing process,
will render traditional chemical batteries obsolete.” Bold words . . .
“It will allow solid state battery fabrication that will enable manufacturers to increase their capacity by 200-to-300 percent, while reducing costs more than 50 percent.
This is what the automotive industry needs to make electric vehicles practical and affordable,” he continued. There is meat on these bones.
Planar Energy Samples. Faris holds a block of eight ultra-thin batteries made from elements that are vaporized in an evaporator at left.
Planar Energy is a developer of large-format, solid-state batteries co-founded by Scott Faris, who is a serial entrepreneur, and Battelle Ventures in 2007 as a spin-out
of the National Renewable Energy Laboratory. Planar’s products are based upon a portfolio of patents in the areas of materials deposition, new materials and battery
design technologies. This is not to be taken lightly. It seems Planar Energy has developed a new generation of inorganic solid-state electrolyte and electrode materials
along with a proprietary manufacturing process called “Streaming Protocol for Electroless Electrochemical Deposition,” or SPEED.
Planar is describing SPEED as a low-cost, high-speed, roll-to-roll deposition process, which is significantly more flexible and scalable than existing deposition methods.
This eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming vacuum deposition usually required for inorganic films. It also produces energy storage films that are significantly
superior to slurry and polymer-based films used in traditional chemical batteries.
SPEED uses water-based precursors, allows for the direct growth of self-assembled films directly on flexible substrates or directly on top of other films. The film growth
is done under ambient conditions and with growth rates exceeding 1 micron/minute over large surface areas. The SPEED-deposited films can range from single element
films or complex inorganic chemistries with excellent stoichiometry. The process is compatible with a large array of known compound materials systems and it enables
use of entirely new compound materials not workable in vacuum or slurry-coating processes. As an example, Planar Energy’s proprietary electrolytes are based upon
unique chemistries that cannot be achieved in vacuum deposition.
Here are the points noted in the letter provided for public release by University of Central Florida’s Advanced Materials Processing and Analysis Center (AMPAC):
Planar Energy has identified a new class of solid-state electrolytes that have conductivity of 10-4 in measured samples and 10-3 in functional battery calculations.
The conductivity ranges displayed allow for high-rate batteries required in automotive applications.
Planar Energy’s solid-state electrolyte materials are deposited as thin films directly on active layers in the battery, eliminating the historic process of having to
deposit films on separate substrates and then mechanically joining them.
Planar Energy’s electrolytes demonstrate the same performance level of liquid electrolytes currently used by the lithium-ion industry, but they are in a solid form factor.
Planar Energy’s change in form factor simplifies the battery manufacturing process and enables existing battery chemistries to function at 95% of their theoretical value.
Planar Energy’s batteries will be intrinsically safe, allowing customers to further reduce packaging requirements, as well as simplify the battery management system.
Planar Energy’s batteries have virtually no self-discharge, allowing them to sit for long periods of time while retaining their charge. Traditional lithium-ion batteries have
high discharge rates that are problematic for automotive applications.
This is an impressive listing. While not directly addressing the 2 to 3 times the energy built at half the price, the technology transfer is yielding results.
Notable in the industry is that Japanese firms have roll to roll production technology on line now, but not at the performance Planar is claiming.
The “how” looks fully doable. Roll to roll techniques are gaining market share in solar panels as well. The questions are in the electrolytes, the
connections, anode and cathode materials and designs and a host of construction matters over the course of building a battery. That area is
where the meaningful questions lay.
If it all can go to scale, then the signaling to the market will have to crack the market itself wide enough for mass production. With Faris on board and
a list of awards and acclaims, getting the attentions seems assured.
Faris seems bent on getting to a 75% cost reduction with the 2 to 3 fold capacity increase.
The capacity matter seems consistent across the limited and short period of online info
this writer reviewed for back grounding this post. That implies the materials involved
are part of the original technology transfer. By any measure, if Planar and Faris can get
production costs down 75%, it won’t be ”hard to do marketing”. Lots of work remains,
building prototypes, testing, looking into any heat issues, getting cycling results, lifespan
expectations, and identifying markets with needs.
A lithium ion battery that’s physically lighter by two thirds, offered at half or perhaps
25% the price of competitive batteries bodes well for the firm’s chances – and much
less expensive consumer products.

Ultra-Thin Gadget Batteries in the Works
http://www.tomsguide.com/us/nec-orb-superthin-battery,news-8776.html
Paper-thin power for your gadgets will soon be a reality.
Batteries may be the primary portable source preferred for our portable peripherals, but they're not what you'd call efficient. In fact, a significant percentage of a
handheld gadget's weight is from its battery. NEC, a company known more for its monitors than alternative energy sources, has come up with a concept that
plans to change everything.
NEC has dubbed this latest project the ORB, or Organic Radical Battery. The latest prototype may not as paper-thin as the initial proof-of-concept they released
five years ago, but at just over a quarter of an inch thick, it's still a lot leaner than most efficient current-generation power cells.
The ORB can thank two things for its high power-to-weight ratio: its affordable carbon anodes, and its highly conductive nano-composite cathode. The latter is
achieved by rendering an organic material into a gel, then impregnated with carbon materials. The one-two punch gives it a power output that's 40% higher
than conventional batteries.
It won't be replacing lithium-ions anytime soon, but at the very least the ORB can see future use in powering microcircuitry, implants, and tech-gear. Hey, it's
better than using our own bodies as batteries, right? That's a robopocalypse waiting to happen.

NEC develops thin, flexible and 'practical' Organic Radical Battery
By Donald Melanson posted Nov 10th 2010 1:32AM
NEC first announced its super-thin Organic Radical Battery (or ORB) technology a full five years ago, but it's now finally back with what it describes as the first
"practical" prototypes of the batteries. While these new batteries are about twice as thick as NEC's first such units, they're still only 0.7 mm thin, and are apparently
much more reliable while also delivering 1.4 times more output (specifically, a capacity of 5mAh). The key to that boost, it seems, are some newly developed, highly
conductive cathodes, which consists of some solid organic radical material that were turned into a gel and then uniformly compounded with carbon materials.
What does that mean for actual consumers? Well, if NEC has its way, the batteries could be a thin, flexible power source for things like smart cards, wearable
devices, and flexible e-paper displays. Full press release is after the break.

NEC Develops Organic Radical Battery for Practical Use -- High performance battery compatible with IC Cards and wearable terminals
Tokyo, November 5, 2010 - NEC Corporation (NEC; TSE: 6701) announced today the development of a thin and flexible Organic Radical Battery (ORB) (*1) that is
significantly more reliable and produces 1.4 times (*2) more output than existing units.
These prototype ORB maintain nearly full capacity (*3), even after repeated charge-discharge, due to anodes that feature the same carbon material as lithium-ion
batteries. The new ORB also produce 1.4 times more output than existing units due to the development of new highly conductive cathodes. Furthermore, these
ORB are the size of a coin, 0.7 mm thin, and boast a capacity of 5mAh.
The prototype ORB enables more than ten consecutive flash firings approximately twenty thousand times, and facilitates continuous high
luminance LED flash emission, which is difficult to perform on compact double-layer capacitors. Moreover, the ORB is suitable for next-generation
ubiquitous terminals that require flexibility and high output, including IC Cards, wearable terminals and flexible electronic paper.
Characteristics of the technologies are as follows:
1. Anodes made with carbon / high reliability
ORB anodes feature the same carbon material used in rechargeable lithium-ion batteries, rather than the thin metallic lithium film
used with conventional ORB. As a result, the new ORB are approximately 1/10 the cost of existing units and exhibit comparable
reliability to commercially available rechargeable lithium-ion batteries in repeated charge-discharge cycle testing (*4).
2. 1.4 times higher output enabled through new composite cathodes
A highly conductive nano-composite cathode was developed by converting solid organic radical material into a gel and uniformly
compounding it with carbon materials. As a result, the output per battery with a capacity of 5mAh increased to 7kW/L, 1.4 times
the level of conventional units.
Research and development was partially carried out by the "Basic Technology Development for Fiber Materials Having Advanced
Functions / Development of Battery Components to Enhance Performance and Functionality" project, sponsored by the Ministry
of Economy Trade and Industry (METI), as well as the New Energy and Industrial Technology Development Organization (NEDO).
These technologies will be exhibited at NEC's "C&C User Forum & iEXPO 2010" held on 11 - 12 November 2010 at the
Tokyo International Forum (Yurakucho).

NEC's paper thin, rapid recharge batteries, "ORB"
By Liam McNulty posted December 8th 2005 5:10AM
nec paper batteries
NEC has debuted some ultra-thin and flexible quick charging batteries named ORB,
for Organic Radical Battery. We're having a hard time deciding what is the coolest
part about these; their 0.3mm thickness that allows them to be flexible, or the
fact that they can be recharged in about 30 seconds. The organic radical materials
inside the battery are in an "electrolyte-permeated gel state," which is supposedly
about halfway between a solid and a liquid. This helps ions make a smooth move
(no, the other one), reducing resistance, allowing the batteries to charge faster.
1 square centimeter will give you about 1 miliwatt hour. That's not enough to power
your laptop, but according to NEC, one recharge of this battery allows an active
RFID tag to transmit tens of thousands of signals. NEC plans on further developing
the technology so it can one day be used in IC cards, RFID tags, electronic paper,
wearable computers, and other such technologies stepping up to the plate in the
coming decade.

"Recycled Island" Turns Ocean Plastic into a Paradise
http://www.treehugger.com/sustainable-product-design/recycled-island-turns-ocean-plastic-into-a-paradise.html
|
 Image via Recycled Island
Ever dreamed of living on a giant island of plastic? Well, with all the plastic that floats around in the ocean as a toxic soup threatening all manner of marine life, one architecture firm has a bold vision to create an eco-paradise called "Recycled Island" in the Pacific Ocean with sustainability at its core. It's a bold plan, but not only would the project help clean the oceans, the firm claims, it might just be a perfect home for climate refugees--and a way to turn those toxic patches of ocean plastic into an island that may do the planet some good.The idea for the massive Recycled Island was developed by WHIM architecture as a way to clean the oceans and create a new floating habitat dedicated to sustainable living, complete with beaches, farms, and buildings. Ideally placed in the Pacific, between San Francisco and Hawaii, the island would be some 4 thousand square miles of plastic 'land' upon which plastic communities would be built.
According the project's plan, the plastics used to build the island will come from the giant North Pacific Gyre. Once collected and cleaned, the material could then be reformed into floating platforms of recycled plastic. "This will clean our Oceans intensely and it will change the character of the plastic waste from garbage to building material," says WHIM. "The gathering of the plastic waste will become a lot more attractive."
With the land mass built, the firm believes a sustainable island paradise will flourish, according to the project's Web site:
-The habitable area is designed as an urban setting. Nowadays already half of the World population lives in urban conditions, which has a huge impact on nature. The realization of mixed-use environments is our hope for the future.
-The island is constructed as a green living environment, from the point of view of a natural habitat. The use of compost toilets in creating fertile ground is an example in this.
-It is a self sufficient habitat, which is not (or hardly) depending from other countries and finds its own resources to survive. The settlement has its own energy and food sources.
-The island is ecologic and not polluting or affecting the world negatively. Natural and non polluting sources are used to let the island exist in harmony with nature.
An important component in making Recycled Island sustainable comes from the cultivation of seaweed, which would provide food, fuel, and medicine, as well absorb CO2 and offer a habitat to fish.
While the plan to build an island by recycling the plastic that pollutes our oceans is certainly a bold one, if not downright impossible, it is in line with a number of ambitious recycling projects that have indeed come to fruition. Certainly, the planet has no pressing need for a new island, sustainable or otherwise, but it would be a huge improvement on the toxic masses of ocean plastic inadvertently in place already. And who knows, maybe Radiohead could write a song about it.

Very interesting stuff.
I thinking possibly a coalition of local playwrights and actors and other theater
professionals with varying skills and contacts to formulate a Manifesto and working agenda.
Then branching out (after organizing) to others on the east coast (D.C, MD, NJ etc)
for starters. If we don't do this we will have no careers or legacy for those who follow in
the rest of the latter century.The first step would be a steering committee...

Betsey Johnson Now Practically Owned By Steve Madden
Betsey Johnson defaulted on a $50 million loan.
Steve Madden bought the debt, and as collateral,
Johnson put up all of her company's intellectual

shows and we'll meet with Karl and John afterwards.' Insane!" [Wonderwall]
Lanvin's line for H&M will include dresses, coats, eveningwear, jewelry, hats, sunglasses, handbags, footwear and lipstick. The full collection will be
unveiled on November 2 via a short film directed by Mike Figgis, who did Leaving Las Vegas. And on November 20, the newly opened H&M store in the
Caesar's Palace mall will become the first store in the world to sell the line; all other piners for cheap Lanvin will have to wait till the 23rd, when it drops
at over 200 other locations worldwide. [WWD]
Online discounter Gilt Groupe charged some customers more than the advertised price at a recent flash sale. Several complained to Racked, and Gilt

Jan. 10, 2012 (Reuters) — The symbolic Doomsday Clock calculated by a group of scientists

Doomsday Clock a minute closer to midnight

--------------------
Two years ago, it appeared that world leaders might address the truly global threats that we face. In many cases, that trend has not continued or been reversed," the group said in a statement.The Bulletin (www.thebulletin.org) is a periodical founded in 1945 by University of Chicago scientists who had helped develop the first atomic weapons in the Manhattan Project.They created the Doomsday Clock two years later to symbolize how close humanity was to self-annihilation, with an initial setting of seven minutes to midnight.Initially the clock was focused on nuclear war, but it has been broadened in recent years as the scientists, who include a range of Nobel laureates, added other risks to humanity.The scientists said world leaders had failed to sustain the progress in nuclear disarmament that had seen them move the hands back on the clock two years ago.As well, the major global challenge now was a warmer climate that threatens to bring droughts, famine, water scarcity and rising seas, said Allison Macfarlane, an associated professor at George Mason University near Washington, who chairs the group's committee that helps set the clock."The global community may be near a point of no return in efforts to prevent catastrophe from changes in Earth's atmosphere," Macfarlane said in the statement.The last time the group moved the hands closer to midnight was in 2007, by two minutes due to a North Korean nuclear weapon test, Iranian nuclear ambitions and a renewed U.S. emphasis at the time of the military utility of nuclear weapons.The closest the clock ever came to midnight was 1953, the year of the first test of a hydrogen bomb by the United States.(Writing by Rodney Joyce; editing by Dan Burns)Copyright Reuters 2008. http://www.newsdaily.com/stories/tre80a02e-us-climate-doomsday/

Organic Light Emitting DiodesOrganic Light-Emitting Diode technology, also
abbreviated OLED, is relatively new but very promising, especially what concerns
design of data display devices. OLEDs' main difference from other LEDs is that
they are made of organic compounds which emit light in response to an electric current.
This feature determines their main properties.OLEDs are made of special thin-film
multilayer structures. These layers are special polymers. There is anode and cathode.
Electrons can flow between them. When positive voltage is applied to the anode then
electrons from the cathode start moving towards it. That means that the cathode emits
them into the emissive layer while the anode gets them from a conductive layer. As the
result of the flow of charged particles the layers acquire different charges. The
emissive layer is charged negatively while holes appear in the conductive layer which
charges positively. Under the influence of static electricity electrons and holes meet,
and recombination occurs. A peculiar feature of organic matter is that the holes have
greater mobility as compared with electrons. Thus recombination occurs closer to the
emissive layer. Electrons' energy is decreasing which is accompanied by the emission
of electromagnetic radiation into space in the form of a visible light.To improve the
technology several of its aspects may be researched further. This can be the chemical
composition of layers, enriching additive agents, and new studies in the field of
organics. For each region of RGB spectrum experts look for necessary organic substances
and formulas which may improve lifespan of LEDs. They also study operating temperature
range and main properties of OLED displays.OLED display is a matrix which consists of
combinations of main RGB colours, that is red, green, and blue. When regulating the
voltage applied to the cell its glow colour changes. By mixing three colours we get a
necessary tint.There are passive and active matrices. For passive matrices we see a
set of dots where lines and columns intersect. Each intersection is an OLED. Voltage
is supplied to the necessary dot, and the corresponding diode lights up with brightness
proportional to the applied voltage. This type of matrix is obsolete. It cannot be used
in modern devices which produce big and high-quality image.In such case we use an
active matrix. Each intersection of this matrix is connected with a control thin-film
transistor. A signal is sent to it. It executes the command and maintains the specified
level of glow till it receives new commands. This helps to save electricity. We also
see that the screen has a higher response speed to the image change.OLED displays already
have many advantages over regular LCD displays. They have lower energy consumption
parameters, an improved colour rendition, immediate response time and no minimum visual
angle. The image can be read from any angle. They also do not require any bias lighting
and have a wide range of operating temperatures.The only disadvantage is their limited
life span and expensive big matrices. That is why OLEDs are becoming more and more
popular today as they are used in mobile phones, photo cameras, GPS navigators, and
other electronic appliances which require a high-quality colourful display of data on
average-size screens that do not require continuous work.
Besides, there are technologies which are based on OLED and allow to make transparent displays
(TOLED technology) or even flexible displays (FOLED).Thus organic light-emitting diodes have a
very promising future. There are numerous studies being conducted now, and no doubt that OLED display
properties will be improving. And we can expect new high-tech devices soon.

What do you think of thermoelectrics ?
["Nice for Botz"]
(http://www.lbl.gov/Science-Articles/Archive/MSD-silicon-nanowires.html and below)
as a potential transitional tech dealing with the low hanging fruit of ~ 33%
thermal losses in industrial processes? Also please find attached a very intelligent way of dissociating molecules (specially page 22 on). It has unbelievable potential. Power from
motion and vibrations Forget about batteries.
The ability to harness electricity from tiny vibrations could power a new generation
of electronic devices.
David L. Chandler, MIT News Office
February 16, 2010
This is the second of a series about MIT research on harnessing micro-sources of power
The Trans-Alaska Pipeline System, which traverses hundreds of miles of some of the most inhospitable terrain
on Earth, must be monitored almost constantly for potential problems like corrosion or cracking. Humans do some
of this work surveying the pipeline from the air and inspecting it more closely in the areas that can be easily accessed by roads but the bulk of it is done by mechanical "pigs," sensor-laden robots that travel inside the
pipeline looking for flaws. A simpler process might involve outfitting remote stretches of the pipeline with sensors
that would automatically radio a warning of impending problems. But the need to periodically change the batteries on! such sensors lessens the appeal of that option. For electronic devices in remote or inaccessible situations
like this, including environmental or mechanical monitoring sensors as well as some kinds of biomedical monitors,
it can be inconvenient or even impossible to replace batteries.
But what if batteries weren't necessary?
Systems that could provide power for such sensors just by harvesting the normal vibrations of the pipeline
(or bridges or industrial machinery and so on), eliminating or reducing the need for a battery, are being developed
by Anantha Chandrakasan, MIT's Joseph F. and Nancy P. Keithley professor of electrical engineering and director of
the MIT Microsystems Technology Laboratories, and his former student Yogesh Ramadass SM '06, PhD '09.
They have been working for years on the development of ways to harness small amounts of power from ambient vibrations.
A paper describing their latest work on a new control circuit for such systems, which can quadruple the amount of
power they produce, appeared last month in the IEEE Journal of Solid-State Circuits.
Big steps toward tiny power There are a number of different approaches to harnessing vibrational energy, some using
magnetic or electric fields. But the new control circuit Ramadass and Chandrakasan developed is designed to work
with piezoelectric systems — ones that use voltage generated by stress in a crystalline material, such as
lead-zirconate-titanate.
It has been known for well over a century that some materials, including some crystals and ceramics, will produce
an electrical current when subjected to stress by squeezing or bending. To harness the energy of motion or vibration,
such a material is coupled to a spring, pendulum or other mechanism that converts the motion into pressure.
Chandrakasan and Ramadass envision applications in such things as implantable medical diagnostic or treatment devices
that could be powered indefi! nitely by the person's own natural movements, or distributed sensors to monitor
structural elements on bridges or the pressure in truck tires and transmit the data to a central receiver, powered
by the vibrations of ordinary traffic.
Existing devices for harvesting energy from vibrations tend to be tuned to very specific frequencies, Chandrakasan
says, but "in many practical applications, we need something more general.
That's still a technical question to be addressed."
For now, such systems can't deliver enough power to run consumer devices such as cell phones, Ramadass explains.
"The power levels for a cell phone are way up from what we can generate now" from a person's natural movements,
he says, although some simpler devices, such as an mp3 music player, might be within the available range.
He is currently working with semiconductor leader Texas Instruments to develop commercial applications of
ultra-low power systems and solutions.
David Lamb, chief operating officer of Camgian Microsystems, a company that produces a variety of low-power,
lightweight semiconductor chips, says enabling new, low-power distributed sensor and security systems will depend
on improving the efficiency of energy-harvesting techniques, including the power-producing system as well as control
and storage systems.
Because low-power systems are still a relatively new area of research, he says, "typical power management approaches
are not well suited to energy harvesters, and there are still a lot of unsolved challenges," But devices such as the
company's remote surveillance system are designed to operate on very low power, he says, and "if efficient interface
and control circuits can be developed, this microsystem can be continuously powered by energy harvesting."
The U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA) has provided support for this research, which also holds
promise for monitoring military equipment in remote locations.
The team has also been developing systems to derive small amounts of power from temperature differences
(as described in part one of this series), and Chandrakasan says that in the future, some applications might make
use of systems that combine both the heat- and vibration-harvesting devices to produce more power, or to work in
situations where these energy sources are variable and one or the other might not always be available.
Some parts of such a system, such as the electronic control circuits and transmitters for relaying the collected
data, could be connected to both the heat and vibration generating systems (as well as additional sources of power,
such as a solar cell), Ramadass says. "You could have one set of electronics that interfaces" with multiple inputs,
he says.
For the future, the researchers are working on ways to improve the integration of the various components, and on
making the systems as versatile as possible. "We want to make them adaptable over a broad range" of operating
conditions, Chandrakasan says.
In addition, they are working on improving the devices' overall efficiency.
"We want to get to the maximum theoretically possible achievable energy," Ramadass says.

Spontaneous Combustion
by John Schoneboom
Play Index: [Intro] [The Perfect Hat] [The Revolutionary and the Temp] [Dog Massacre] [The Ineffective Detective]
Spontaneous Combustion is a recurring festival of short plays sponsored by ManhattanTheatreSource, located in the heart of the West Village in New York City. The idea is that writers and actors get together on a Friday evening, at which time the writers pull a couple of actors' names out of a hat, get briefly acquainted with them, and then go write a five-minute play, tailored specifically to their assigned actors, due at noon the next day. Writers are given certain common parameters -- usually the first line of the play and some sort of cultural reference to work in somewhere else -- that give the plays shared elements and lend a certain cohesiveness to the theatrical experience as a whole.
Saturday, the actors and writers re-convene, make sure the play is within the five-minute limit, make any edits that may suddenly seem necessary, and then the actors begin rehearsing and committing the play to memory. On Sunday, each group gets 15 or 20 minutes with a director, there's a dress rehearsal at around 5:30, and at 8:00 the show goes up in front of a real, live, paying audience.
You'd think it would all be complete crap. But no: Somehow it all seems to come out as great big piles of fun every time. Here are the scripts I've done for it thus far.

Are Appliances as Good as the EPA Rating?
September 18, 2008 3 Comments
The Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Energy run the “Energy Star” program to award the labels that lead consumers to think one product is more efficient than another. They set standards, lay out the testing procedures and then manufacturers run self-done tests and sell based on their results.
There isn’t any third party or independent verification. Nor are the standards regularly updated. In the October issue of Consumer Reports the matter is reviewed with these glaring faults in place. The program is 15 years old covering some 50 categories in which claims of 10% to 25% more efficiency are made. The EPA is saying its disappointed in the article and that it misleads consumers.
But the test here is the facts. In preparing the article titled “Save Energy, Save Money” Consumer Reports tested some Energy Star products. To some surprise many draw more current that the standards set by the program, not even hitting the maximums allowed. Consumer Reports thinks the absence of standards allows manufacturers to benefit without providing the consumer benefit. Feeling mislead? You are being misled.
The story’s case in point is a refrigerator with a self-awarded “Energy Star” rating that is labeled to use 547-kilowatt hours annually. Unknown to consumers is the rating is done without the icemaker on, and it does hit the number. But who buys an icemaker and not use it? When its turned on the kilowatt use is just more than doubled! It’s a loophole, one of those regulation issues that makes one wonder why the bureaucrats get paychecks.
Now the refrigerator maker gets the rating so the price can reflect it, you pay for the savings, but don’t get them. Does that seem right? Its obviously not, so why is the EPA disappointed? Where is the rating for the product as its equipped? The disappointment should be in the minds of the buyers.
This kind of reporting is critical to our welfare. It puts the lie in the EPA claims that the program “slashed” greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to 27 million vehicles so saving $16 billion in energy costs. Bogus. We should expect better, at least some verifiable facts and the truth from government agencies.
Consumer Reports is the publication of the Consumers Union a nonprofit with a long a luminous history of being on the side of people. Apparently some leaders at the Energy Star program met with Consumers Union conceding, “Federal test procedures haven’t kept pace with technology.”
Also commenting in the article is David B. Goldstein, codirector of the energy program at the nonprofit Natural Resources Defense Council saying, “A number of test procedures are out of date or problematic. Part of the reason is that the DOE doesn’t have the staff they need to do very much on test procedures. There’s also willpower. They don’t want to do it.”
Coming up with standards is a disaster too. Its reported that the DOE takes three years to publish new rules including the comment period that takes in the views of manufacturers who have a vested interest in easy to meet standards. That makes it a diluted standard to start with, as Jennifer Thorne Amann, from the nonprofit American Council for an Energy Efficient Economy points out, “Because of all the parties involved, you may get a level that isn’t as aggressive as it could be.”
Now to add insult to injury, it takes three more years for any updated rules to take effect. What would be offered now wouldn’t be a matter for the market until 2014!
For those of us harping on “More Efficiency” can feel really betrayed by our government. The only way around this is to test for oneself. That’s easy and much cheaper than I expected:
