3D printing concrete can cut pollution by 50%
WASP has begun its challenge to print houses with 100% natural materials, travelling 0km. Concrete is bad for our planet, it generates Co2, however WASP says that with 3D printing, it can cut down pollution by more than 50%.
What is a gyrocopter?
Gyrocopters have recently been in the news after 61-year-old Douh Hughes flew a gyrocopter onto the lawn of the US Capitol building in Washington. A gyrocopter looks like a small helicopter but the main difference is there is no engine turning the rotors. The rotors simply self-propel, which is called 'autorotate', due to the way that the air flows through them.

Additions to quartz crystal range consume just 50μW
Schukat has further expanded its quartz crystal range, adding the IC11 range from Red Frequency in the popular 24, 26, 40 and 50MHz frequencies. By employing only selected raw materials, Red Frequency ensures high quality, very good electrical parameters and long-term, stable functionality within the specifications.At the same time, the IC11 series represents particularly good value for money.

Fast construction of biogas plants is more important than ever
The Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has announced a consultation period on proposed changes to the feed-In tariff accreditation. The consultation is relatively short and runs up to the 19th August. For the biogas industry this is likely to mean the abolition of pre-accreditation. This makes it possible in the future to lower the Feed-in Tariff (FiT) during the development phase of anaerobic digestion projects up to 5mW capacity.
