Environmentally friendly tractor!

The Greenmuze staff acquired this article from "Designblog". The photo was taken by the staff at Designblog. The picture is of a newly designed tractor. The "Deuterium" tractor is designed by Prithu Paul and Ankit Kumar and was developed in India. This is meant to help with the environmental movement. The tractor contains embedded nano solar cells to help trap solar energy. The tractor would not only help the environment, but would also be much more convenient and user-friendly. For example, the tractor does not require human operation. Also, it adjusts to the path through a sensor mechanism. It also contains a vacuum powered suction that can pull equipment, as well as a retractable axial shift technique to adjust to ground clearance. It can also adjust the length of the vehicle. Another advantage to the Deuterium is the detachable and deplorable roller bots attached at the bottom of the tractor. They can provide topographical assessments, as well as collect other data. This addition runs on hydrogen fuel cells, thus sustaining an environmentally-friendly theme. The tractor also contains a vent for air circulation, with the hopes that it will provide even more sustainable energy sources. The product also contains a rear camera for monitoring, as well as a head lamp for convenience. It has a 360 degree light, in addition to solar panels around the entire tractor. These additions provide 24 hour usage. The Deuterium is a sensible, convenient, safe, and green product that could help change the way people approach farming. This has the potential to be an extremely successful product and I hope it is able to become widespread. It applies to the ongoing discussions on new environmentally-friendly ideas and even helps with the continuous issue of supply and demand.

Awesome, Green Dorms in France!

In France, dorms are being made from recycled shipping containers. They are extremely interesting looking. The dorms allow a lot of different environmental advantages. For example, they are made from recycled metal from shipping containers, that otherwise would serve no purpose. They also have large windows, providing an abundance of natural light. The dorms are more spacious than they look, having bathrooms, bedrooms, storage spaces, hallways, and balconies. These dorms are much more environmentally friendly than regularly built dorms, and will hopefully start a trend in the construction of dorms. This applies to our class because we are constantly looking for effective ways to help the environment. This would have a major positive impact on the environment. In addition to all of the positive effects of the dorms, they also are very intriguing looking! I hope that this becomes a major trend throughout the world, and hopefully spreads to America soon.
