At the MIT University, Boston, week of the 24th of March… Welcome at the MIT, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, the best Western university in the science and technology area. 10000 students for 1000 professors, a long history often peppered with jokes, the MIT humor, the MIT hack.
About 15 years ago, some students of the school left a police car on top of the MIT dome, 100 meters of height during one night…No one how they did that and who they are... Re-done 2 years ago with a firemen truck.   Strange vision!!
The famous Smooth, young MIT student who stretched out over the whole length of the Charles River bridge thus giving a new measuring unit to this bridge : 364,4 smooth that is to say 364,4 times the height of Mr Smooth ( 1m70) which gives ??? Here is a mental calculation!
Located in the heart of Boston, we spent there almost the whole week, getting free Internet access, a navigation on the Charles and questions to the professors to get precious informations ! Sometimes it worked, sometimes it di not ! Being often integrated to a company to market them, these technologies made in MIT are important in numbers and often avantgardists ! Account of small encounters… Wilson Turbo Power draw rather revolutionary micro turbines. You don't understand anything ?We neither at the beginning !The turbine is the elementallowing the electrical production from a flow of air or of water. It turns and thus drives a generator.… There are many of it, everywhere, in the cars, the hydraulic power stations, the wind mills… The one of Wilson improves the efficiency of all the others of 30%...An incredible performance, according to the specialists… Important French industries are carefully looking at it… Website: http://www.wilsonturbopower.com/
Here is what a traditional turbine looks like...
Professeur Sachs developped an improving technology of the output of the phoyovoltaic panels of almost 27 %.They just collected 12,6 millions of dollars and he is very famous among the scientific community… His technology will be marketed by a new structure baptised 1366 technologies. Website: http://1366tech.com Intellact is a small structure set up by 2 MIT researchers and the third one from Harvard. They developp microbia combustible batteries… It is about a brilliant invention. After methanisation ( from bio waste, one produces gas thank to bacteria, cf CVO or Methanisation articles), this technology allows to produce directly electricity thanks to the waste. All of this thanks to a bacterium discovered about ten years ago which produces electrons and not methane in the methanisation… Electrons are then exploited as in a traditional combustible battery… To make easier, you will be able to light a bulb with this bacteria thanks to your peelings !

Simple running principe...Waste, a reaction, electrons and... Electricity!
With no doubt, great ideas, but the MIT is a true springboard between research launch on the market … It integrates investments, close relations with the manufacturers, and a reseach budget without ...any limit !
