Description:

The Green Power / Green Tech Community is a forum where design engineers and technology managers can explore the tools, technologies, techniques, and products they need to create energy-efficient, eco-friendly designs. We'll focus primarily on green power topics but we’ll also regularly touch on other important green design, engineering and technology issues.

Green Friday 2010 – an Eco-Geek’s Holiday Gift Guide

With eco-design practices being adopted by so many mainstream manufacturers, you don’t have to choose between making your loved ones happy and doing some good for the planet!

Like many of us, I approach the upcoming holidays with mixed feelings as the anticipation of magical times with friends and loved ones collides with the realities of crowded malls, family squabbles, and the bills that arrive in January. But this year is a bit brighter for me thanks to the recent explosion of eco-friendly high-tech products. Now that so many electronic manufacturers having adopted meaningful changes to the way they design and produce their products, I can now buy nearly any kind of high-tech gadget without suffering the guilt of having launched another planet-wrecking piece of garbage into my grandchildren’s futures.

GOING GREEN

Today, the topic of Green is being discussed more and more.

Every day we hear about companies "going green". But what does this really mean?

"Going Green" has many implications, from the materials being used to the type of energy being used and the quantity being consumed. And each aspect of "Going Green" has reliability implications. In fact, any time we change material properties or design concepts, there are inherent reliability risks that need to be addressed.

You can also read some more about Green Reliability at our blog here:

Ops A La Carte offers four Green Reliability Presentations here:

What is a supercomputer and why are we behind in bragging

The survey only contains 4 questions.

Appreciate your kindness!

I'm joining a few relevant communities per suggestion of Max Maxfield. I head up Leavitt Communications (www.leavcom.com), an international marketing communications firm located in San Diego County. We represent some architectural and engineering clients so am very interested in keeping abreast of salient green design, energy, technology issues. We also just launched our blog on March 5th- http://leavcom.com/wordpress/; so would also welcome relevant comments for discussion too. You can also reach me at neal@leavcom.com. Thank you.

I am after the technical information and type of sensor found in the motor windings of the Vectrix motor (the sensor is not accessable). I am part of a team refitting an EV for the Zero race. Would anyone be able to direct me to a contact which may have the technical information on sensor type etc. taa Chris

Green Power is a very broad topic that encompases everyting from solar panels to smart buildings, something that makes it difficult to present in a way that's relevant to the electrical engineering comunity. That's why it's taken about a decade worth of trial and error to come up with with the approach to covering green power and related technologies that you see here on TechBites. For details on what we'll be covering here, see my blog entry "An Introduction to the Green Power Community" http://www.techbites.com/20090925590/myblog/blog/from-buzzword-to-bottom-line-an-introduction-to-the-green-power-community.html.
