This article fails to outline some of the effects this might have on the environment, if any at all. Can this algae spread out of control and produce tons of hydrogen a day worldwide?
From my understanding of algae I have seen once its on the move its not easy to cancel.
I cannot see how this would aid in productivity all that much.
I work from home sometimes because I get twice as much work done because there is no temptation to keep getting involved in conversations and cracking jokes if there is an important meeting on a day I have elected to work from home I just change my days around and make sure I am there to attend.
I also cannot see how this would save great amounts of energy, if 5 people in 20 offices had this going there is 5 people who have power supplied to there workspace and aren't using it, and to add to it are sitting at home using power, I do not see where the benefit there is at all, lets face it getting a train into work that would run whether I am on it or not is not going to save any power.
I really like the look of the Entecho Flying Saucer looks nice and apparently is going to retail for only 30,000 AUD I heard an interview with one of the designers who claims it will be on sale to the public with in 3 years.
Unfortunately it will be limited to climb to 1.8 meters off the ground for safety reasons and only seats one person how ever the plus side to this is there is a good chance it will become a registered road worthy vehicle in Australia.
Perfect for cruising over the tough corrugated roads we have here in Australia.
