Energy generators in homes and businesses
Making electricity in central power plants is so 20th century. K.R. Sridhar has a better idea: Create energy on the spot, right where it's consumed. His startup, Bloom Energy is developing a fuel cell that could kick-start the distributed-energy industry.
The problem with today's centralized approach is its vast inefficiency. In coal-and gas-fired power plants, almost 2/3 of the energy produced by converting fuel into kilowatts escapes as heat. Another 8%, on average,

Sidney-based Smart Lid Systems is solding out all its lids for just 5 cents a piece. Interested in reading more about it?:

Zero ink pics
Imagine a world where you don't have to deal with "toner low" messages from your printer or to buy pricey replacement cartridges. In this new world, you may not even need a printer - because there's one built into your cell phone or your digital camera. All you need is special paper on which your words or images appear like a Polaroid picture, but without the shaking or the waiting.
