Company named FloDesign based in Massachusetts has developed very innovative concept of wind turbine based on jet engine technology, its unique design forces air through the blades. In traditional turbines when wind approach it could capture only 59 percent of wind energy as half of the air is forced around the blades.
FloDesign wind turbine is not too big but can generate enough electricity than traditional wind turbine with big diameter blades, so the new design wind turbine can be placed closer to each other as a result more power can be produce per acre of land, and more they are very quite and has long life as very less vibration is created than traditional wind turbine. Traditional wind turbine with 30 feet height and 90 meters long 3 blades and very costly transportation, where as new design is very easy to transport as is can be assembled on site "so cheaper transport cheaper turbine and cheaper electricity".
But this all is in it's early stage as they only tested in wind tunnel, big scale prototype with 12-foot diameter will be completed in 2010 and it will produce 10-kilowatt of electricity and there after large turbine will be make that could produce 1 megawatt of electricity. [FloDesign]

Future of our energy needs could be satisfied by the hot magma in our earth Australian study says that 1% of Australia's geothermal power potential could provide the nation with a whopping 26,000 years of energy.
It could relay works it could solve our big need of energy. Australian Geothermal Energy Association says that this could work my drilling 2.8 miles into the surface of the earth into the hot magma. This project could cost $10.45 billion but this is only one them cost after this is done we could get green energy for atleast 26,000 years.[DVICE]
Cool Earth has developed new solar power technology which could be the lightest solar concentrator it weight just 20 pound. This power plant is inflatable with transparent plastic on the top and reflective plastic on the bottom which concentrate sunlight on PV cell placed at the focal point.
The company is trying to reduce its cost and clamming that one balloon can generate 500 watts which enough for chilling our bear. let us see when this technology is comes in the market in future we cold see our house or office electricity is produce by this type of balloon flying in garden on terace.

It's relay fantastic idea of charging our cellphone,ipode,etc. on the move it is called "Mobile Power Generation Solution" and it is developed by the company name M2E (Motion 2 Energy). It was first developed for the military in Jan08 but the company now planing to develop for commercial market which could solve the problem of battery charging for the latest mobile devices and electronic gadgets. 
Australian researchers has developed a cathode built fuel cells which are cheaper than traditional fuel cells.
Researchers of Australian Center of Excellence for Electromaterials Science has developed this cell with help of materials engineer professor Maria Forsythe.
Traditional fuel cells which convert hydrogen and oxygen to electricity which runs the car are made of cathode which has expensive platinum nanoparticles which can lose effectiveness by clumping togeather or becoming poisoned by carbon monoxide and they cost $3500 to $4000 for a single passenger car it covers almost cost of fuel cell.
New cathode which are developed from conducting polymer is a special plastic that can conduct electricity called poly or PEDOT.
This cathode materials easy to made are even cheaper almost several hundred dollars it is also stable than platinum which is affected by carbon monoxide.
This cathode material can also be used in zinc air batteries but it is a testing procedure which could be used in storing electricity in cars.[abc.net]
It is really unbelievable that person dancing at dance club is generating electricity but is happening in at UK dance club.
It is really new way to generate electricity so that dance club could run on it's own electricity. This club is at London Club Surya a part of club4climate project. Club is calming approx 60% of its energy requirement
is fulfilled by dance flour.
Dance flour block are made of crystals which creates electricity when someone is dancing and smashing on it and produce electricity wish is stored in batteries.
More people dance more electricity is produce it is really very good concept for green electricity. This club's is rest of energy is fulfilled by solar power and wind power.[geek]
Anaconda could be answer for generating electricity for ocean waves. It is totally innovative wave energy concept. its simple design is a key feature for cheap manufacturing cost and maintenance cost.
This is not a new concept traditionally this wave energy devices are made form metal and hydraulics rams. But Anaconda is made from rubber which very cost effective.
Anaconda concept design is tasted in lab but now they are planing for large sale experiments to test its ability to produce electricity. The tests under taken by university of southampton and with its inventor checkmate sea energy.[Epsrc]
