djBC, consistently my favorite mashup producer/creator (he’s the guy behind the Beasties/Beatles remix “The Beastles”), has released an entire album of remixes of Muppet music! He sez, “In honor of my daughter’s first birthday- and one month late- I’m rolling out ‘Muppet Mashup.’ Ten mashups, remixes, and covers of music from The Muppet Show and Sesame Street. With the legendary McSleazy (of MTV Mash and GYBO), Dunproofin, ATOM, Martinn, Uncanny Valley and yours truly, dj BC. I’m particularly proud of my ‘I’m Happy’ track, which is built on Edwinn Starr loops, Muppet Show samples, and a fun, funky playground acapella from some little girls on Sesame Street.” I’ve just listened to this straight through, with the baby, and we were both captivated. Bravo! Mashups, remixes, and covers of music from The Muppet Show and Sesame Street.

cheezitmike writes “Researchers at Oregon State University are testing a new type of wave-energy converter to generate electricity from ocean waves: ‘Even when the ocean seems calm, swells are moving water up and down sufficiently to generate electricity. … For decades the challenge has been to build a device that can withstand monster waves and gale-force winds, not to mention corrosive saltwater, seaweed, floating debris and curious marine mammals. … In the most recent prototypes, a thick coil of copper wire is inside the first component, which is anchored to the seafloor. The second component is a magnet attached to a float that moves up and down freely with the waves. As the magnet is heaved by the waves, its magnetic field moves along the stationary coil of copper wire. This motion induces a current in the wire — electricity.’” Meanwhile, researchers at Stanford are working to design “turbine kites” that operate at 30,000 feet, where air currents flow much faster than th…[...]

You might have seen solar-powered planes before, but few of them come with as much world-changing ambition as the Solar Impulse. Launched in 2003, the project aims to demonstrate the viability of renewable energy sources by being the first to perform a manned flight around the globe using only solar power. The technology is nothing to scoff at, as the 200-feet wingspan features 12,000 photovoltaic solar cells bringing power to four electric motors. Captain Bertrand Piccard, one of the key men behind this project, is best known as one half of the first team to circumnavigate the world in a balloon in 1999. He hopes, together with partner André Borschberg, to repeat that achievement in Solar Impulse’s next iteration, the HB-SIB, in 2012. Make it so, guys.[Via Gizmag]Filed under: TransportationCaptain Piccard unveils Solar Impulse HB-SIA solar-powered plane originally appeared on Engadget on Fri, 03 Jul 2009 22:06:00 EST.
