I like the refrigerator idea. I live in AK and thought about stuff like this. I thought of how I can use the exhaust from my oil heater to heat the garage. Despite the 94% efficiency of oil heat, the exhaust is still plenty warm and wasted out to the cold air outside. I only assume without testing, that any back pressure from attaching any length of hose to the exhaust may cause problems with the heater. Any thoughts on this?

I am the biggest cynic of all people and this is ONE OF THE BEST blogs in a while. Stop with all iPhone and Twitter crap. These are the types of inventions which make America great.

We have MSc and PhD students at our lab studying and developing enactive devices (like the canes in this post) and finding that with enough training, blind and visually impaired people can not only navigate as well as people who can see, but the areas of their brain used by the visual system begin to show similar activity. I can’t believe that work is coming out of a high school now.

That biofilm oil filtering device, though… that is huge.

Great post. My town’s local high school had a project listed. And I heard about it first via Tech Crunch… not my local paper or news station.
