Turning Green in Oxford, England
Posted by carrie_roll
This fun video (9 minutes) demonstrates some simple principles that were used to
- Power a building of apartments
- Heat a building of apartments
- Sell electricity back to a power company
Take a look!
Alun Hill visited England’s Oxford to report on a new “green” project – designed by a 22 year old.
He shows how a “reversed” Archimedes screw, powered by a tributary of London’s River Thames, is generating electricity for the nearby apartments – and how a special “pipe” laid in the river produces hot water.
He then shows electricity supply meters – which run backwards!
There’s also an interview with the young designer himself – 23 year old Henry Reily-Collins.

Wow, that is REALLY cool!! Great stuff, wonder how much the screw costs and how long it takes to pay itself off.
