Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity is a largely contested condition that has raised more than a few eyebrows in the medical community as of late. It is a condition that most people have never heard of, and is often referred to as the ‘Wi-Fi allergy’ as it is associated with a negative reaction to an ‘over-exposure’ to Wi-Fi. Despite the ‘legitimacy’ controversy and pseudoscience accusations surrounding Electromagnetic Hypersensitivity (EHS), it is slowly but surely being recognised by various medical experts worldwide as a legitimate and soon-to-be established medical condition.

So what does Electromagnetic Sensitivity actually mean, and how does it occur? EHS is defined as a medical condition in which a person is […]

Do Self-Driving Cars Have A Future In South Africa?

The pessimists among us will likely say no, followed by a mumbling “taxi drivers would have a thing or two to say about that”. But many amongst us are hopeful, positive even! Could you imagine self-driving cars zooming about Andries Potgieter Boulevard?

Flying Without Fuel: Solar Impulse

On the 2nd of August, 2016, a plane touched down at an airport in Abu Dhabi. The same plane last took off from this particular airport in March 2015. Since then it has been flying around the world, one stretch at a time. It doesn’t sound too remarkable apart from the fact that this plane, the Solar Impulse Mk 2, made the trip without a drop of fuel.

The Solar Impulse 2 is powered by lithium polymer batteries which, in turn, are powered by over 17,000 solar panels mounted on the plane’s magnificent wingspan. The wingspan measures just over 70 meters, making the plane pretty imposing. However, it can only transport two people at a […]

2027: The Year Of Sustainable Energy

2027 is the year in which fossil fuels become more expensive to harness as a source of energy and power, and wind power, as well as solar energy, will become the most economical choice for both public and private enterprises. This news is a welcoming death knell for the fossil fuel industry, which is the main cause of the tragic global warming phenomenon.

Renewable Investment 

According to Bloomberg New Energy Finance’s New Energy Outlook report, more than $11-billion investment will go towards generating new sources of power revenue, and that the vast majority of those funds will find their way toward fledgeling solar and wind power developments. The continuing investment in sustainable energy solutions has fast-tracked […]
