Duracell's headquarters were built using its own recycled waste! The extremely popular company Duracell, manufactures and sells batteries. While batteries themselves are a nuisance to get rid of in an environmentally friendly way, the company decided that it was going to be different. The company constructed an entirely new international headquarters, using their own garbage/recycled materials from their products. More than half of the building's waste features materials that would have otherwise been garbage after the manufacturing process. The building features flooring made of crushed glass and broken light bulbs, ceiling tiles made from recycled newspaper, and roofing made of recycled aluminium! Large Corporations promoting recycling is primarily done to improve how the public views the company - which will result in an increase in sales. Unfortunately corporations may never recycle for the sake of the environment, but click the source to see what other major companies are doing to recycle! source : www.newmanarchitects.com/project.html?pid=170Puck-Sized Device Charges Your Phone With The Heat In Your Coffee. A Stirling Engine is one of the world’s oldest, having been conceived in 1816 as a rival to the steam engine. It uses differences in temperature to drive a piston back and forth, turning a flywheel in the process. It’s this engine, albeit a tiny one, that sits inside the onE Puck you see above, and which allows you to charge your USB-connected device using nothing but the heat of your coffee cup. Or the cold of your iced tea. Just place any sufficiently cold or hot object on top of the onE Puck, and the Stirling engine will kick to life, driving a tiny generator. Obviously the hotter (or colder) the object, the more efficient the onE Puck becomes, but it’s designed to generate 5W of power at a combination of 1,000mA and 5Vdc. That’s standard for a phone charger, but these are clearly ideal conditions. It might generate this much at peak performance, when you’ve placed a piping hot drink, and then slowly lose its charging power. There’s an internal battery which accumulates charge, and delivers it in batches to your connected device, so it may appear as though it’s not charging at times, but it’ll kick in eventually.

David Vetter lived his whole 12 years in sterile “bubble”. He was “outside” less than 10 second after being removed from his mother’s womb. He never touched any human. David Vetter became famous for living in a sterile environment. He was born with severe combined immunodeficiency (SCID), a disorder that causes the immune system to not work. Because of this, exposure to any germs could prove fatal. He was called "David, the bubble boy" by the news media.
