A small U.S. company Air Guardian has successfully patented a gas mixture consisting of 78% nitrogen, 21% oxygen 0.93% argon 0.038% carbon dioxide, as well as how it uses it for energy to mechanical and biological systems. According to the company in the near future it is going to require owed royalties for the use of proprietary gas mixture with the major airlines, transport operators and thermal power plants. In the future business plan Air Guardian provides for deductions from the automakers, as well as with any commercial organizations, in which the gas mixture can be used in public places. The third step is to receive contributions from individual users. It should be noted here that the company takes quite a liberal policy - the use of proprietary gas mixture in a personal non-commercial purposes will remain free. However, according to the representative of Air Guardian, "the use of counterfeit air in commercial activity is simply unacceptable, so the Association for the Prot...

In the north-east of England, near the town of Billingham, commissioned data center with a unique cooling system that uses an icy wind from the North Sea. Climatic conditions are such that the wind was blowing steadily and constantly, and almost always in one direction. For the ventilation system is the ideal environment. Data Center Wynyard built by the contractor for EDS, HP. Air flows from the air first passes through filters (I wonder how they filter the salt air?), And then eight 2.2-meter fan, they come directly to the server rack. Thus, in the working room data center maintains a constant temperature of 24°C. When the wind gets too cold in the ventilation system of its slightly warmed by heat exchangers which remove heat from the servers. In windy data center, just in case, provided the usual fans, which are activated in the absence of wind. That is not one hundred percent "green" project: for example, Google and Microsoft has data centers in general, without fans. Ene...

When building the data center (DPC) of the company these days is increasingly looking at this recently unimportant aspect, as the energy efficiency of computers working in it. And the news media published last week suggests that even large and apparently distressed companies are paying much attention to energy efficiency. In general, attention to energy conservation, of course, did not arise by itself. The fact that the cost of the equipment used for DPC was so high that the cost of energy consumed, in comparison with this, Merkle. Today, technology has become less expensive, in time as electricity, by contrast, shows a tendency to increase prices. So in the long run, profitable companies to overpay for a more energy-efficient equipment, as repeatedly overpay for increased consumption of electricity. Hewlett-Packard has decided to appear to be an example of the company, the most concerned about is efficiency and environmental friendliness of its technologies: a new data center, called ...
