Rush Hour Power: Using Commuters To Power Our Cities?
2009-10-07 04:56:00 While I have heard of Israeli’s using nuclear waste, solar energy and animal waste to power their cities, this is the first time that I have heard of them using commuters. (Haaretz.com) An Israeli company has developed a method of generating electricity from road traffic, and Israeli may look to implement the system on the nation’s highways. The system works by using generators implanted in the asphalt that create energy when cars drive over them. Each generator produces 2,000 watts per hour, which is stored in batteries along the side of the road. The technology was developed by the Israeli firm Innowattech, with the cooperation of the Technion University. While Innowattech’s invention is only good enough to power street lights, these innovative mechanical devices could help large cities like Tel Aviv and Jerusalem save some serious shekels when it comes to their electric bill. Innowattech has a funky video (that needs to be on YouTube) highlighting how this wo... More About: Power , Cities , Rush

Can The Jews Save Earth From Deadly Asteroids?
2008-02-12 04:24:00 (Image Credit: Don Davis / NASA) While there are currently no known asteroids threatening our home world (with the exception of Apophis which has a slim possibility of striking Earth in 2036) a few Jewish students from Technion have come up with another approach for dealing with these deadly space rocks.(Israel National News) The students developed their plan in response to fears that an asteroid could collide with Earth in 2036, causing severe damage over an area with a 200-kilometer radius. The students proposed a $353 million plan that would send probes into space, where they would attach themselves to the asteroid and determine the risk of a collision. If the asteroid appeared to be on a collision course, a satellite would be sent into space and would, with help from Earth’s gravitational pull, steer the asteroid onto a different course.Currently there are various ideas on how to deal with asteroids threats, although the most promising ones tend to avoid using nukes (as that c...

Yahoo! Opening Its First Branch In Haifa
2008-02-12 03:58:00 Despite the fact that the company is thwarting a semi-hostile takeover by Microsoft, not to mention celebrating in their latest Israeli startup purchase, Yahoo ! has decided to finally "take the plunge" and actually open a development center in Haifa , Israel.(Globes Online) Yahoo! will soon set up its first branch in Israel.

Kosher Food Invading 2008 Olympics
2008-02-02 22:56:00 While kosher food is slowly gaining popularity in the US, it ironically is becoming quite trendy in the far east.With the 2008 Olympics being hosted in Beijing, China this year, it looks as if a new restaurant has opened its doors to welcome Jewish and "kosher eating" travelers to feast within its walls.(Israel National News) A new kosher restaurant opened within the past year in the Chinese capital, catering to foreign Jewish residents, tourists, a handful of Muslims and even a few Chinese citizens. Dini's Kosher Restaurant owner Lewis Sperber told the Associated Press this week that he might also set up a second restaurant in the northern section of Beijing, closer to the area in which the Olympic Games will be held. "If people leave the Olympics and want a kosher meal, we could have a place for them," said Sperber. The Games are expected to draw some 55,000 tourists to the city, a potential bonanza for the new kosher start-up.This is good news for Jewish travelers as it will ... More About: Food
Israel's Fraud Sciences To Make eBay Safer?
2008-02-02 22:07:00 Often seen as the prime spot to shop online, eBay is one of the largest tech companies online (at least as far as shopping goes).Unfortunately in this day and age, there are plenty of scam artists out there who are attempting to rip off online consumers with fake deals and transactions, which can be quite a headache for companies like eBay.In order to curb this problem, eBay (through PayPal) has purchased Fraud Sciences , a company based in the holy land.(TechCrunch) Israel and Palo Alto based Fraud Sciences offers automated anti-fraud systems including Spotlight VFX and Spotlight T2T, merchant solutions the provide transaction verification with fraud prevention. In an October 2007 profile, Israelplug said that Fraud Sciences products "help online retailers verify the identity of buyers and accept orders that they would have seen as suspicious in the past - thus enabling them to increase their sales."eBay said the acquisition will assist them in significantly improving trust and safe...

France And Israel Partnering Up In The Stock Market?
2008-02-02 20:52:00 It looks as if the governments of France and Israel are opening their capital markets to each other, making it even easier for investors from either side to conduct business.(Globes Online) The Israel Securities Authority and France's L'Autorite des Marchés Financiers (AMF) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) opening their respective capital markets to trade in securities issued by both Israeli and French companies. The agreement will be based on mutual reliance of both agencies on the regulation existing in the other's country. ...The Securities Authority noted, "The concept underlying the agreement is similar to the single passport principle used by EU countries in relation to the regulation and supervision of European financial markets. ... This process permits the EU states to recognize and rely upon each other's regulatory regimes and thus to dispense with any additional regulatory requirements in excess of those of the issuing company's home member state....

Finally! Jewish Google Founder To Visit Israel
2008-01-29 04:44:00 It looks as if Google 's Jewish founder Sergey Bin will finally be seeing the holy land for himself (if he has not already).(Ynet News) Google co-founder Sergey Brin has accepted President Shimon Peres' invitation to attend a conference he is organizing and is due to arrive in Israel this coming May, Yedioth Ahronoth reported on Sunday. Hundreds of statesmen, businessmen, artists and physicians from all over the world are expected to take part in the conference, which will focus on "how Israel and the Jewish mind can contribute in the medical, scientific and ecological fields".Sergey Bin is a multi-billionaire who is famous for founding the company Google (which is dominating the holy land as the number one site).

Nirosoft: Turning Bad Water Into Fresh Water (Video)
2008-01-29 03:51:00 "Water , water, everywhere,And all the boards did shrink;Water, water, everywhere,Nor any drop to drink."~The Rime of the Ancient Mariner(by Samuel Taylor Coleridge)Note: Video at the bottom. Image Credit Israel 21st Century. Despite the fact that water covers 70% of our planet, this vital liquid is a scarce resource due to our inability to "digest" salt water.While we have developed ways of purifying salt water through a process called desalination, this often can be an expensive (or tedious) endeavor, especially for third world countries or medium sized corporations.That is unless you purchase a desalination unit from Israel's Nirosoft, which has found an inexpensive and simple way of purifying water from salty or polluted oceans and streams.(Israel 21st Century) "Desalination is cheaper than melting ice," said Mino Negrin, managing director and founder of Nirosoft, which simulated the environment at the Davis Station in its R&D labs.

NASA To Honor Ilan Ramon's Memory (Israeli Astronaut)
2008-01-29 03:30:00 It looks as if NASA officials will be visiting the holy land in order to honor Ilan Ramon, Israel's first astronaut who tragically perished on board the Columbia Shuttle.(Ha'aretz) A delegation from NASA will arrive in Israel on Sunday for a six-day visit to participate in memorial ceremonies taking place for Ilan Ramon, the first Israeli astronaut, who died in the the Columbia space shuttle crash five years ago.

Israel: Hydrogen Powered Cars Becoming A Reality?
More articles from this author:2008-01-29 02:58:00 (Image Credit: ElectronicKits.com) With hybrid cars already the rage in Israel , one would wonder why any company would pursue yet another "green machine," especially since the government is already pushing for electric.But with hydrogen being one of the most abundant elements in the universe, any scientist would be out of their mind to completely ignore it as a fuel source--especially for cars.(Globes Online) An Israeli-Russian-German venture, C.En, headed by Prof. Dan Eliezer, has recently completed a design and test program that aims at producing a safe and lightweight hydrogen tank for use in cars.One of the biggest technological and economic challenges delaying the development of cars operated by hydrogen is the problem of safe and lightweight storage of hydrogen in the vehicle. C.En conducted more than 120 experiments over three years, which demonstrate that it is viable to store twice the amount of hydrogen than current solutions, providing a 600-km range with a 60-liter tank ...
