L’albero di Natale più ecologico del mondo realizzato in Inghilterra

di

L’albero di Natale può essere vero o finto, biologico o non biologico, ma poi le lucine che attacchiamo sprecano sempre una certa quantità di energia. Ribadendo il consiglio di utilizzare sempre le luci LED che consumano meno rispetto a quelle classiche, un albero realizzato al Midsummer Place Shopping Centre a Londra si candida come quello più green al mondo dato che per far accendere le sue lucine ha bisogno dell’energia…umana.

Peccato che l’aspetto eco sia un po’ rovinato dal fatto che l’abete proviene dalla Norvegia, ma almeno resta una bella fetta di risparmio energetico che scaturisce dal non attaccare le serie luminose alla presa elettrica. I circa mille bulbi che compongono la decorazione dell’albero sono alimentati dalle pedane piezoelettriche su cui camminano i clienti del centro commerciale, e su cui saltellano degli elfi indemoniati, come mostrato in foto.

Di certo non esiste un’energia più rinnovabile di questa. Se infatti pensiamo al numero di persone che ogni giorno calpestano il pavimento di un centro commerciale possiamo capire quanta energia potenzialmente viene sprecata. A spiegare l’utilità di questa tecnologia ci ha pensato Laurence Kemball-Cook, CEO di Pavegen e ideatore della tecnologia che ha ricevuto numerosi premi:

Ogni anno, circa 7,7 miliardi di kWh di energia da combustibili fossili è utilizzata per alimentare le luci degli alberi di Natale in tutto il mondo. Questa elettricità è sufficiente ad alimentare Londra per 3 anni!

Per questo le tecnologie rinnovabili potrebbero portare ad un immenso risparmio per le nostre tasche e per l’ambiente. La tecnologia Pavegen si basa su piastrelle composte al 100% da gomma riciclata ed una base composta all’80% da altro materiale riciclato. L’energia cinetica delle persone che vi passeggiano su viene trasmessa ad ogni piastrella, e da qui va ad immagazzinarsi in una specie di batteria che poi alimenta l’albero. Questa pavimentazione può essere installata sia all’interno che all’esterno, in modo da poter alimentare qualsiasi oggetto elettrico.

  28. The Zune concentrates on being a Portable Media Player. Not a web browser. Not a game machine. Maybe in the future it’ll do even better in those areas, but for now it’s a fantastic way to organize and listen to your music and videos, and is without peer in that regard. The iPod’s strengths are its web browsing and apps. If those sound more compelling, perhaps it is your best choice.

  39. This is getting a bit more subjective, but I much prefer the Zune Marketplace. The interface is colorful, has more flair, and some cool features like ‘Mixview’ that let you quickly see related albums, songs, or other users related to what you’re listening to. Clicking on one of those will center on that item, and another set of “neighbors” will come into view, allowing you to navigate around exploring by similar artists, songs, or users. Speaking of users, the Zune “Social” is also great fun, letting you find others with shared tastes and becoming friends with them. You then can listen to a playlist created based on an amalgamation of what all your friends are listening to, which is also enjoyable. Those concerned with privacy will be relieved to know you can prevent the public from seeing your personal listening habits if you so choose.
