However, since coming across this gorgeous DIY project, I suddenly feel inspired to give those old faithful blades some attention! After all, it’s a part of the room too, so why not incorporate it in my decor?

Breakthrough Innovations in Solar Panel Technology

What’s New about Solar Panels

Solar Panel Innovations. (Photo Credits)

Solar Panels have become a household word for families who want to achieve sustainability, cut on costs, and reduce carbon footprint.

And with solar panels becoming more and more common, innovations are being developed at a very fast pace. Builders and Contractors

For instance, there is this solar panel model that can produce four times more electricity versus the current type of solar panel of the same size as featured in the website solarthermalmagazine.com

“Conventional PV solar panels capture 20% of the sun’s energy as electricity. In the FourFold module, four mirrors concentrate the sunlight into a narrow strip of overhead PV cells, capturing just as much electricity. More important, coolant pumped through the absorber captures an additional 55% of the sun’s energy as heat. Altogether, the FourFold collects 75% of the sun’s energy, 500 W of electricity and 1500 W of heat for 2000 W total.”

Read about this innovation here.

Extremely Efficient Solar Panel

Extremetech.com meantime reported about a breakthrough innovation on solar panels through a more efficient solar panel that can recharge.

“The new device, developed by Ohio State University, is essentially an air-breathing lithium battery that recharges via a built-in solar cell. This is significant, because one of the biggest problems with wide-scale solar power deployment is that you also need huge banks of batteries to store electricity — to even out spikes in generation when it’s cloudy or dark — and not only are those batteries expensive, but a lot of electricity is lost simply by traveling from the solar panels to external storage. An integrated solution is both cheaper and more efficient — about 25% cheaper and 20% more efficient, according to the researchers.”

Another innovative breakthrough in solar panel technology is the sports car featured over at mymodernmet.com

“Melbourne-based company EVX Ventures is entering the electric automobile market with an aerodynamic sports car that can drive all day using power from the sun. Called The Immortus, the sleek two-seater has an unlimited traveling range thanks to 75 square feet of solar photovoltaic paneling on its exterior. This means you wouldn’t have to stop and recharge over long distances, easing the fear of running out of power.”

Take a look at the car model here.

So what solar panel innovations would you like to see?

Love Locks are out, Lock Themed Romantic Street Art is in

Romantic Lock-Themed Art

PARIS: Love locks replaced with lock-themed romantic street arts. (Photo Credits)

When they removed the famous pad lock ‘love locks’ a lot of star-crossed lovers have been saddened. But artsy country France, knows how to turn something around, as they unveiled Lock-themed art in the same location where the love locks have been situated before.

Bdnews24.com shared this update. “Panels of street art have been installed on Paris’s Pont des Arts to replace the hundreds of thousands of “love locks” that weighed down the bridge’s balustrade until the city began removing them last week. The temporary exhibition on the theme of love, assembled by Paris gallerist Mehdi Ben Cheikh, is intended to cover the railing with an alternative attraction for romantics no longer able to immortalise their love by attaching a padlock and throwing the key into the River Seine.”

Read the rest of the article here.

Romantic Street Art

Website Pedestrian.tv also featured the same exhibition.

“After bluntly saying ‘non’ to your shitty love locks—paired with smugly pursed lips, dangling a cigarette—Paris has upped and removed thousands of locks from the historic Pont Des Arts, after a curious tourist phenomenon, spurred by lust, legitimately threatened the structural integrity of a timeless monument…To curb the movement, street art inspired by the love locks was erected instead. Clever move. The scene has become a tourist attraction in and of itself, still luring heady couples to its mark on Paris’ map, but deterring the lock-hanging propensities of yore. One work, by notorious Franco-Tunisian street artist el Seed, reads, in Arabic: ‘Paris is in truth an ocean, you can plumb it but you’ll never know its depths.’”

Check out the romantic street art here.

CBS News also took fancy of the changes in the bridge as it shared 33 photos on the street art that replaced the areas where the love locks have been affixed. Singapore Location

“Instead of “love locks,” the Pont des Arts bridge in Paris is now decorated with love graffiti. Paris authorities last week ripped off 45 tons of padlocks affixed by lovers to the bridge over the Seine River. The city said the locks are damaging landmark sites, and a chunk of fencing on the bridge fell under their weight. Residents also decried the appearance of the locks. They were replaced by temporary panels of city-commissioned street art that are receiving mixed reactions.

Check out the many photos they uploaded here.

So what do you prefer, locks or street art?

Electrical sockets are important in every household. That is why a lot of people are trying to do smarter do-it-yourself prototypes of electrical sockets.

Just like this one featured over at bizjournals.com. “The WiseSocket team demonstrated a working prototype that let users turn a lamp on and off using the application. Team members said the WiseSocket combines existing technologies to make a simple device that would be easy for home owners to understand. The group says it could sell the device to home owners and to builders who wanted to create smart homes. The team also sees potential to sell add-on sensors and software to people who already have the basic units installed. The socket’s simplicity and versatility could help it stand out in the “smart home” market, team members said.”

This student featured over at dailydot.com did not do a science project involving electric sockets, instead he did a science experiment.

“It has recently come to our attention that some people are unaware of what happens when you stick a metal object into an electrical socket. Foremost among them on the Internet today is the young man depicted in the vine below—as pure a distillation of schadenfreude as we’ve ever seen. If you, too, are one of these people, please do yourself a favor and analyze the chain of events that led to this young man’s 120-volt misfortune: First he pushes a metal instrument into one of the outlet’s slots, and then…well, no, that’s actually it. The worst ideas do tend to have an elegant simplicity, don’t they? This display would’ve done well at the science fair.” Builders and Contractors

So, I signed up for two hour Jewelry 101 Class at Joann’s and since then, this new little beading hobby of mine has taken me by storm! I am absolutely inspired by all the colorful beads and have loved marrying them with the bright patterns and colors of my printables.”

Becraftyworkshop.com featured step-by-step instructions on how to make ombre key rings. “Using a variety of ombre pink paint colors I painted the beads and then coated them with a clear layer of polycrylic. While the paint dried I grabbed a couple unpainted beads and spray painted them with a gold metallic spray paint. I also coated a few with gold glitter. Using leather string I strung the beads together and knotted the bottom. On the top I made a loop so I could add a key chain ring.”
