Geothermal Energy

This week I am going to talk about a power source that many do not know about. While solar and wind energy are popular choices in the world of alternative energy, geothermal energy comes from beneath Earth’s surface. Liquid-hot magma provides a continuous source of heat below Earth’s crust. Amazingly, there is 50,000 times more energy in just the first 10,000 feet beneath Earth’s surface than all of our oil and natural gas combined. So, how do we harness this heat energy?

Inspired by wind turbine technology, Joao Paulo Lammoglia created this device that creates power by air movement. And we’re not talking about wind here. We’re talking about your own breathing. That’s right: you attach this thing to your face and your breath spins tiny wind turbines in the mask that convert your breathing into renewable electricity.
