Ran across the mention of a car powered by air on Scott Adam’s blog today. Check out the video, it is pretty fascinating.
There are more videos on the company website taken from different television features.
TED has introduced Al Gore’s new presentation on environmental concerns. Some of the most fascinating points that he makes is that in order to act on his new findings concerning global warming, people need to feel a sense of urgency (I guess we’re still procrastinating…) — and after listening to military historians — he [...]
