1. Back-to-nature – Hydropower Helicoids - It took a chance meeting between a hydropower engineer and a medical scientist five years ago to discover that the energy output of hydroelectric stations could be boosted by up to 10% by adopting the spiral-shaped plumbing of blood vessels.

About Oilgae - Oilgae - Oil & Biodiesel from Algae
has a focus on biodiesel production from algae while also discussing
alternative energy in general. Algae present an exciting possibility as a
feedstock for biodiesel, and when you realise that oil was originally
formed from algae - among others - you think "Hey! Why not oil
again from algae!"
To facilitate exploration of oil production from algae as well as exploration
of other alternative energy avenues, Oilgae provides web links, directory, and
related resources for algae-based biofuels / biodiesel along with inputs on
new inventions, discoveries & breakthroughs in other alternative energy
domains such as Solar wind, nuclear, hydro, Geothermal hydrogen & fuel
cells, gravitational, geothemal, human-powered, ocean & Wave / tidal
energy.
