Power Plants by 20/2 Collaborative














Design is involved with some of the most innovative and progressive ideas that better our world. I found this proposal for a new energy source. The project proposal is a network of engineered  algae ponds and hydrogen gas-filled balloons will fuel an icelandic city. How it works: "In 1999, researchers at UC Berkeley discovered that algae alternate between hydrogen production and photosynthesis, and that depriving the algae oxygen and sulfur, triggers them to favour the hydrogen cycle. A 10 metre, algae filled pond, easily built into a community landscape, should produce enough hydrogen weekly to power 12 cars.
