Based on the design of a lilypad, The 'Lilypad City' would float around the world as an independent and fully self-sustainable home, and could be used as a permanent refuge for those whose homes have been covered in water. Mr Callebaut said: 'The design of the city is inspired by the shape of the great Amazonia Victoria Regia lilypad, and is actually a long-term solution to the problem of rising water.'

Compressed Air Could Power the Future
Wind power is unreliable. No one can turn up the wind every time electricity demand peaks. So some utilities are looking at ways to bottle up the wind's energy and store it underground for later use. Compressed air energy storage (CAES) uses off-peak electricity from wind farms or other sources to pump air underground. The high pressure air acts like a huge battery that can be released on demand to turn a gas turbine and make electricity. Read the full article.
