11:10 "But Japan is not the same after the Fukushima disaster. Government and society agree that nuclear power has to phased-out in a country prone to earthquake." They shut-down their nuclear reactors, then opted for another source of energy. And their government, altogether with the society as well as many major company marching toward environment-friendly energy source. This is an appropriate mental attitude. How their willingness to overcome limitation has push them harder and further in inventing technological breakthrough. No wonder if Japan will lead the world into green technology. Ganbate!
Because civic pride and team oriented attitude is hard wired into their culture. The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few as Mr. Spock once said.
I totally love that tech..and I really hope that tech will be applied worldwide...Imagine...every house..factory...vehicle..using this clean energy...that will be amazing and healthy..
And you think the rest of the world doesn't have groundbreaking technologies?. Keep in mind that this video is 8 years old now, and we have moved on towards more innovative solutions then compared in 2011.
The country of Japan has always been one of the most advanced countries in all types of technology, innovating in all areas and changing the game. It is amazing how their houses feed on totally green energy that pollutes many times less than burning coal and helps the environment, I am very impressed by these people. A future using electric cars without producing CO2 and other polluting gases that melt the ozone layer is incredible and will help us a lot on a short and long scale.
When we cover so much of the earth with dark surfaces, and solar panels are dark, that has a global effect. That doesn't mean don't use solar panels. It means that light colored roofs might be a good idea, along with planting a lot of green stuff everywhere we can and find ways that don't cut down forests.
Japan is a country that always has been ahead of other countries with its technological advances, trying to innovate in many ways but always taking into account the environment. They are pioneers in creating new technologies that try to change the actual way to create electricity, replacing the burn of fossil fuels by chemical-based reactions or making the current devices more electricity-saving. Everyone should follow their example in order to reach a future where the majority of electricity is generated without producing CO2 and that is renewable, helping to save the planet from the damage that we are doing actually.
It is incredible how an advanced country in technology like Japan, is doing its part to save the Earth. While other countries like China just want to produce more and more, Japan is supporting the creation of new plans to take care of the environment. One of the things that surprised me more was the smart houses because I thought that they damaged the environment, but now thanks to the video I know that this kind of houses can help the planet, due to they use eco friendly technology, which is a technology that has no adverse effect on the environment. To conclude, I just want to say that I believe that using technology to save the planet is one of the better things that humanity had done in all of its history.
vincent evans : It starts with the realisation that our life and environment are not two separate entities but one; inextricably linked - ditto our mind and body. [This you no doubt understand]]
And you can plug the battery into the house grid whenever the car is not in use. Also the movement of the wheels of the car itself generates electricity - if harnessed !
Man, I have nothing but respect for the Japanese. They experience a disaster and they do their best to never have it happen again. It’s something we all can learn a lesson from.
Nowadays technology is a fundamental part of our lives because almost every action we made involves some technology, and I think that is really cool and amazing that experts in Japan are creating green technology, I wish that more countries focus on the environment as Japan does, because it is an issue that everyone should worry about. I think that Japan should start helping other countries by giving them ideas or technology so that they can do all their activities but in a more ecological way.
I am really speechless, is impressive how Japan takes renewable energies to another level. At the video you can see how they keep floating one hectare of solar panels that produce approximately 70 MW per year. Besides, these Japanese managed to create electricity saving space, without polluting the environment and revolutionizing the entire industry and the global persecution of their country. Furthermore, they created self-functional home designs called smart community, with solar panels and other smart services that run the home in an automated way without polluting. “Appliances communicates each other’s to optimize and save energy, without sacrificing high standards of living” This explains the video how a community can live with luxuries preserving the planet.
I am impressed with all of this technology that is new even for teenagers. It is sad that humans had to come up with green ideas because of an earthquake, but now that we have them lets take advantage of them. Using solar and wind energy is something that every building should have, it is cheaper and it helps the planet. Japans are more developed than Mexico, but they can export their products so that we can all decrease global warming. I think this is great and if we all use this ideas, the world will thank us.
I think it is very interesting that after that huge disaster, Japan has learned from that and is trying to reduce its dependence on nuclear energy and use renewable energies so that it can take precautions for future disasters. On the other hand, I liked very much the idea of using electric vehicles to help preserve energy, because with the energy from the car we can get help to be able to control energy consumption. But what caught my attention most about smart greenhouses was that the house knows what's going on inside the house, so it regulates things like light, water or air by itself and that way we avoid leaving things on for a long time and unused.
Wow! Japan is very great. I want my country do like Japan, but my country is very poor. I love environment, I love planet earth. I do not know how many years that my country can improve like Japan. My poor country. I WISH Japan can find other way to protect our beautiful planet. From Cambodia . Good bye.
You cam always try something like aquaponics. It can provide electricity as well as food both plants and fish. Takes little space. Gravity pumps and water wheels. We do it with fish tanks for herbs in my house but one day want to live completely off of the power grid. Methaine is another good one to provide gas from human waste. Not a lot of money to make but can change your life. Then you can change your nabors and so forth.
Haven Perez An aquaponics system requires recirculation of water hence constant pumping, you would need a very large elevated tank to use it as an energy store for wind pumped water in an aquaponic system. Overall, aquaponics typically present a constant power draw not an energy source. Also a typical human family would not produce enough methane in a biodigester to light a cooktop, it takes livestock and agricultural wastes to effect effectively use a small scale biodigester and you certainly couldn't fit the livestock and crops into a city flat besides how dangerous do you think a tank of methane would be in an apartment building. Community biodigesters at the waste treatment facilities might work but it isn't an option for an inner city sustainable architecture.
John Wang actually, aquaponic system can be ran without the use of electricity. A hydraulic ram pump would work with gravity to circulate the water. You can do this with almost any water source. The water wheels would produce a small amount of electricity to produce enough for some lights. You have to remember we are talking about a poorer country. Most people will have animals to help with the methane. It just using what is already available to help produce what's needed. More food and some electricity. While keeping it environmental friendly.
A hydraulic ram pump does not work with gravity though any pump can pump water to a higher elevation from which you can draw the water through gravity. You are grotesquely misusing terms. I would suggest you study first year engineering hydraulics
Some years ago a really bad disaster happened in Japan. This disaster pushed them to grow really fast as a country. We always see Japan as this super-advanced country. They started implementing technology in almost everything, and like that making artificial energy by mixing technology and natural resources with solar power making panels that work with the sun, and wind power. Japan is always trying to improve everything with the use of technology and showing it to the world.
It is quite admirable how as soon as Japan notice the damage that nuclear plants were causing, they decided to turn into renewable energy, taking care of the Earth, and improving their lifestyle. What the world needs the most, is a real interest in changing and improving things, pursuing a common benefit. What is wrong, is that most of the big companies, or rich people, don’t care about any of the problems around the world, because they don’t put in the situation of others, they prefer money overall than being empathetic. It is quite nice how in Japan they tried to ignore profit for a moment, to thinking of ways to improve the quality of life of society.
Japan has always been a country that identifies it for its great technological advances and how it has been advancing through the years but in addition to this something very important is that they have also sought ways to commit to the environment to create technologies that do not affect and do good for the world. They are currently creating new ways to replace electricity. In my opinion all countries should start doing more research to start making a change
We have just returned from Japan. They are way ahead of us here in Australia. The worst part of this is we do mot seem to care. If i were younger i would love to live there.
The technological advance in Japan is impressive, making it the first country with more technology after the United States. All the inventions that are shown in the video are very interesting and although it could be seen as something unreachable nowadays, there are already houses or companies that have solar panels as well as the methods of intelligent management of the whole place. I believe that technology has been advancing very fast and that many projects have been presented are in favor of the environment, such as solar energy.
Japan is second in energy consumption? That really surprises me. So much of the population lives in small apartments and uses public transit, hard to believe they would use more energy then people in say Canada or Australia. Perhaps that is based on total energy use rather then per-capita.
With the advent of industry 4.0 the fact that houses are smart is becoming easier, but what is really impressive is the fact that this type of technology is used in support with renewable energy such as sunlight or wind energy, however I believe that this type of technology will not be available to most people, as it is a trend that is currently very expensive, and I also believe that there is still a lack of alternative energies that we have at our disposal are not efficient enough even for a house to be 100% self-sustaining
We all know Japan is a pioneer country talking about technology and innovations. Is very interesting how because of the accident on the nuclear plant automatically they decided to start designing and manufacturing a lot inventions related to the renewable energies such as intelligent houses and some product such as air conditioner that save energy this kind of products are very common nowadays but the video has around eight years. Something that impact me a lot was de HEMS systems for house because is very futuristic but realistic and genius an maybe and some years that the way houses will be.
It is really important to change our habits to help the environment, we could start changing our energies to renewable energy. Solar panels can be really expensive at first but when you get your energy bill it would be cheaper so it is more convenient for the environment and for ourselves. Some cities are more advanced that other. As Japan it's a country with a lot of technology they need to be careful on what their advances are, so that this advances don't affect the earth and some other countries can follow its example and help the environment as well.
Currently humanity is developing at an impressive speed, and innovation is a very important part of it, we can see that here there are many innovative proposals that are certainly futuristic ideas that will change the world, probably now we do not have the perfect team to develop these projects but anyway I have no doubt that over time we can develop new teams and consequently develop these ideas, and so we realize how we are getting closer to the future, although many people think we are already in the future, I personally believe that there are still many things to invent and discover
in my opinion I think that sustainable constructions can make a totally radical change since these focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use - energy, water, and materials - while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. I would love to make a green construction because apart from that you save the environment personally I like too much the appearance of these green constructions since with the implementation of nature they have a very striking color and are complemented with the Nature
This video is a little different from the first one, they talk about the same topic of organic materials and the recycling in the houses but you can notice that in Japan unlike the past video is more used the technology, here is included energy to help the environment like the load the cars instead of using gasoline in them, you can see that here is a very big company in which they focus in the help to the environment using the technology, in this video is not used much the plants but if ecological technologies like the solar panels that also help a lot. I like this idea more than anything because of the use of technology that makes construction easier and faster.
I was sure that Japan would be a leader in alternate energy sources like solar. Just this year Morocco opened their new solar plant also. Hope to see many more and higher efficiency.
I like a lot that they do these events where brands are known and publicize their sustainable products, I also like that the government is implementing these habits in citizens, this is good because it could be creating a different culture and more in favor of the care of the planet, the best of this is that they will do for the whole city this is better because there are people who do not have the resources to put the solar panel and maybe paying their normal light without putting the panel getting the government.
The term green smart homes is common nowadays yet not everyone is aware of them, I love that they are so eco friendly homes featured with the latest technology. These homes meet the needs and wants of their occupant without harming the environment but If they are so beneficial, why is everyone not going for such homes?.This is a very good question that has a simple answer the limited awareness about green smart homes is the biggest barrier, Consequently, their costs are still high another thing that i can see in the video is al the advance technology that Is awesome and you cant see it everywhere like the enormous solar panels
Over the generations, human beings are evolving, changing and adapting our way of life according to the environment and world in which we develop. We currently have enough resources to continue using them for another year. but it is really worrying that these are over, which is why the great cities like China are already beginning to take action in the evolution of obtaining their resources or the substitution of these for something that is endless like the sun, earth , air, water, wind, etc
I think that is very intelligent from the part of Japan doing this kind of things because it can save us from the extinction and is important to prevent the consequences of what is contamination and the nuclear bomb, which left many places uninhabited, killed many people, left places with high levels of radiation and this directly affects the human body as these are waves outside the body
It has been known of the previous accident of the tsunami in Japan, which caused a spill of the nuclear power plant to happen and cause a tragedy for anyone near the area because the toxic gases they released could kill an average person. Having devised measures to reduce the use of these energies shows that the government really collaborates with the good of society to make its environment safer; Asian cities have really innovative advances in technology to the point of automating everything, some household items such as a vacuum cleaner, air conditioning or washing machine automate them so that they only use the necessary energy.
These technological innovations are fabulous! What a pity Australia, with its abundance of solar energy, is so woefully behind the rest of the civilised world in harnessing it.
Technology is advancing a lot in these years, an example of this is Japan, which is a world power in the field of technological advances, as can be seen, an example of this are the large solar panels that are being designed right there, then there are the electric cars that have had great advances during these years because they are now self-sustaining because they only occupy a small power station and then there are the others that with the friction of the wheels give energy to the engine. Therefore I believe that these great advances are magnificent for humanity.
I have always know that Japan were one of the most advanced countries in technology beside other Asian countries. Since the accident of Fukushima Japan have always wanted to find another way to get clean energy and that's way Japan is investing in solar energy because as small it is one of the most advanced and concern about the climate change. The real problem is the other countries that do not invest in their technologies and keep polluting and example mexico.
Uang bisa dicari. Yang penting ada itikad dan perencanaan yang jelas untuk mencapai tujuan ini. Jepang yang gak punya sumber daya alam aja bisa begitu. Masa Indonesia yang serba ada, segala punya gak bisa ngikutin. Tinggal kitanya mau atau ngga?
alasan kenapa kita (indonesia) susah maju, itu karena kita terlalu banyak memproduksi politisi ketimbang profesional insinyur atau ilmuan.. andai kata politisi itu bisa diexport ke luar negeri wah bisa jadi pemasukan buat kita, atau paling tidak ditukar dgn beras saja, lumayan kan.
I am really glad that this is happening, i have always thought that with a really good effort and resources the mankind will find the next step to a better future, this video is just a proof that some people still care about the environment and tha should all give us hope to be available to see a society that will have a really low amount of carbon emissions. I really admire the way that japanese people work and do things because they are very disciplined and thet can do whatever they propose
Going Green sounds and looks cool - but it is expensive - up to five times the cost and the returns take 20 to 30 years to even out as well as by that time most of the items like wind mills, solar panels, batteries, and thermal piping needs replacing. If anyone has been to japan its not the end all be all in technology but rather I would approximate that 80% are still in semi modest homes without the electric/oil/hot water/furnace heating, air conditioning, and other benefits we have in America or Europe. Green houses would be great if we didn't have to pay property or residential taxes as well.
I totally agree - just wish our government encourage people to go green by making it affordable and giving benefits to those who are willing to go that extra mile
I love all of this, what I do not like is that (Well at least here in the US) the government will find a way to make this "very profitable" for themselves!
some of this sounds pretty cool but I don't get the whole fridge says hello... wouldn't that just be a waste of electricity? I don't know about most but I just need it to keep things cold, not hang out and make me feel special. Also Where does the car's power come from? normally with electric cars you charge them from your house, but if it's power the house then it's not charging...My car can charge a little bit through brakes and such to create some power but no where near enough to not only run but power other things as well
This looks really nice, but do we have the technology to recycle all that fancy high-tech stuff safely at the end of its lifetime? Is high-tech sustainable on long term?
I hope that someday soon all Countries will switch to natural resources that don't harm the environment. It would be great if they required that use Solar, Hydro, Wind, etc. to power our planet and no longer use nuclear, or fossil fuels. With the model demonstrated in this video, we could easily run electric vehicles, charge them throughout the city, at our homes, and no longer use gasoline powered vehicles.
Propinionation it's a good idea, a way people can work alongside and not against nature as well as enjoying their current westernized "evolved" lifestyle and all that comes with it in responsible ways .....it takes a look at the way the tribal ethic communities live their sustainable life but also allows the current way the "advanced" world exist, there is a lot we can learn from nature and how it actually sustains itself without harming itself ....
twinkitten1 - I agree. Nature always amazes me. If it weren't for nature, we wouldn't be able to breathe. Humans are a part of nature. I've rambled enough on how amazing nature is. If only hu-"MAN"-ity would get it together with their mental biases, bigotry, hate, etc., towards each other, and towards nature, then, and only then, we will all be saved from "natural" disasters caused mostly by greedy _____ supremacy. About week ago, for two days, it was extremely unusual for the weather to be in its 60 - 80 degrees. The last time, as far as I can remember when we had 60 - 80 degree weather in the winter, it was back in November, or December of '92, or '94. I could be wrong.
I like the video and its cool green technology but the truth about it is: will the average person be able to afford all these cool devices? I don't think so, maybe in the future if it becomes common practice to build homes like this , but for now you better have a lot of money and get you check book ready to pay! 😉
It is for me an incredible form of approach a very bad disaster whit the accident of the tsunami and the nuclear plant to stop other nuclear plans that can cause problems like that, and starting to make energy whit others alternatives like the sun where they use zones that they don’t use or floating in the sea, that is an example of the government actions that gave help to the companies, something that I think is a good idea not just in this case because other countries can do this to stop the pollution that they produce.
Great idea to use the car for backup energy storage. Great car size too. On the other hand, the reduction in energy use afforded by these things is not enough. And raw materials to make all new stuff is harmful to the planet. I would be impressed if they said everything was made from recycled materials.
Japan green technology is good quality, but unfortunately it's also very expensive. You'll get your return on investment usually right before the end of life of the eco-product you bought.
It's impressive how Asian countries like in this case: Japan has always been at the forefront in a sector as important as technology and it is interesting to see the great projects and advances that take in such a short time also in the video are mentioned large companies like Toshiba and the idea they are looking for the future and finally what caught my attention is the simplicity of the systems that handle how you can distribute energy with a simple button controlling from the level of your car load to the level of light in your home.
i wish battery devices such as phones wouldn't be able to be discharged below 20% or be charged past 80% so as to prolong the batteries ability to hold a charge.
in a resourced based economy, everyone could live like this~!!! in the current monetary economy, only a selected few are able to afford these cool stuff.. look up Jaqcue Fresco and his lifework of The Venus Project. We all could be living like this.
DanielRichards644 im sure they still have more then the power need in that car i bet they drive to work a plug in and take the power home with them from work to use at night after work done for the day and i bet there battery keeping the power at home ready for when they come home to charge the car again to get back to work this is not hard to see this look at the usa car tesla it has like 80kw battery in it my home use to use 30kw a day know i use under 12kw aday cuting the big power users in the home i live 80% off grid know it not to much longer i be 100% this is all doable in day and i live on a pension im not loaded with my if i can do it some of the rich can do this as they have the cash to do it but they don't the most comment i is i can pay for my power bills .but i dont see them trying to help the world out its all about there self but if we do do any thing i cant see as lasting long in this world it be gone and to later to do any thing about it .... come on we need help people not just saying it will ever work, do some thing to help or try
Don't get me wrong I'm all for solar and stuff, I've been coming up with my own ways of reducing energy demands in the small house designs I've been developing for potential building as soon as I can financially afford to do so but the way the video presented it was like the house running strictly off the car at night when what I think they where trying to show that product as more of an "emergency generator" type thing that you would use to power the house if the grid went down due to some natural disaster. I'm even in the early stages of researching what it would take to make the house as much 12 or 24 volt as possible to eliminate as much waste as possible from the inverters while at the same time trying to design a house that would likely be built on grid and slowly shifted to off grid as finances allowed.
DanielRichards644 ok cool happy to here your a solar person to and yes with you thinking the 12v/24v good good one more person thinks like me alot of people think im funny to have my home off grid. A pure dc home it a long way with that mate as most of my power tools still 240v my inverter have to stay for know but i have my 24"led tv use 19watts my led lights in all rooms and my 12v fridge freezer my fish tank air pumps and all water pumps all dc 12v i cut 80% off my power bill and yes know on to solar hot water from dc solar panels go right on my 240v ac heater element i put 4 panels get up to 120v dc and it runs fine for over 8 mths in testing and get nice hot water every day. o and it maybe be one more year i take the last 20% as finances allowed under stand what your saying there mate cost of living today is nuts
Nuclear energy should not be illiminated because it's efficient, environmental friendly, safe and not costly rather than coal, gas, diesel energy. There's no fatalities in fukusiama disaster due to nuclear radiation, the people die due to water drowning.
hello Japan!!!!!Mit Mirage lover/driver x3 now. Toyostove user this year. VERY hard to get in mid US. Not friendly US companies won't sell/ship them. I want to be a dealer, they won't talk. Help
Country have rich oil hate this idea LOL hahahah. Japanese don't have any natural source, that's why they need update more technogy to survive. They're smart & hard working people!!! They made fun of Japan. In future, almost source from ground are dying, they're the only one save the people. If ppl keep laughing & make fun of them. I can say you need to shut up & open you eye. Their inspirits of working & create is NO JOKE!!!
This is whole thing is going to be a disaster. Japan is requiring all of the utility companies to buy inefficient green energy at a premium meaning the utilities will have to pass this cost onto the customers or be bailed out by the government. The nuclear reactors didn't destroy Japan, they should simply be rebuilt in a safer area.
After being hit with the big birthday, Japan decided to cooperate with us. When Japan got to big for it's britches, they cooperated with us when we hit them with a deep penetrating nuclear war head.
Trust the Japanese to make it smaller, much more efficient, stylish and durable. Mad respect for them
and we see the chinese designing manufacturing processes to mass produce this type of tech on a global scale
i'm impressed by these japanese whom tried very hard to speak english.
john foo lmfao
Well, that first woman had an excellent American accent. I'm wondering if she grew up in America or what.
My friends in japan can't evan speak a bit.
@@NickRoman She grew up in the US. Its obvious.
11:10 "But Japan is not the same after the Fukushima disaster. Government and society agree that nuclear power has to phased-out in a country prone to earthquake."
They shut-down their nuclear reactors, then opted for another source of energy. And their government, altogether with the society as well as many major company marching toward environment-friendly energy source.
This is an appropriate mental attitude. How their willingness to overcome limitation has push them harder and further in inventing technological breakthrough. No wonder if Japan will lead the world into green technology.
Ganbate!

I totally love that tech..and I really hope that tech will be applied worldwide...Imagine...every house..factory...vehicle..using this clean energy...that will be amazing and healthy..
Japan has been leaving the rest of the world behind with their tech even more :O
And you think the rest of the world doesn't have groundbreaking technologies?.
Keep in mind that this video is 8 years old now, and we have moved on towards more innovative solutions then compared in 2011.
I hope this spreads all over the world. More green on earth and in my wallet.

Be the change you wish to see in the world.
vincent evans : It starts with the realisation that our life and environment are not two separate entities but one; inextricably linked - ditto our mind and body. [This you no doubt understand]]
The Japanese are so smart! Using the electricity generated by the car to supply the home with energy is just so smart.
And you can plug the battery into the house grid whenever the car is not in use. Also the movement of the wheels of the car itself generates electricity - if harnessed !
Australia should follow in their footsteps and try to be more green as well considering we don't even have any nuclear power plants.
Man, I have nothing but respect for the Japanese. They experience a disaster and they do their best to never have it happen again. It’s something we all can learn a lesson from.
Nowadays technology is a fundamental part of our lives because almost every action we made involves some technology, and I think that is really cool and amazing that experts in Japan are creating green technology, I wish that more countries focus on the environment as Japan does, because it is an issue that everyone should worry about.

Japan:
The REAL Country of the future.
Because the Sun rises there first!
Not unless they reproduce more.

It's very rare houses with gardens and place to play around in Japan. In India we have these kind of peaceful houses
What an amazing idea... I hope this day will come that most homes are using solar!
I am impressed with all of this technology that is new even for teenagers. It is sad that humans had to come up with green ideas because of an earthquake, but now that we have them lets take advantage of them. Using solar and wind energy is something that every building should have, it is cheaper and it helps the planet. Japans are more developed than Mexico, but they can export their products so that we can all decrease global warming. I think this is great and if we all use this ideas, the world will thank us.
Germany is doing a pretty good job in solarization as well. Renewable is the way to go!
well compared to Allie team like USA and UK lol
I mean they don’t have military expense so...
I think it is very interesting that after that huge disaster, Japan has learned from that and is trying to reduce its dependence on nuclear energy and use renewable energies so that it can take precautions for future disasters.

Wow! Japan is very great. I want my country do like Japan, but my country is very poor. I love environment, I love planet earth. I do not know how many years that my country can improve like Japan. My poor country. I WISH Japan can find other way to protect our beautiful planet. From Cambodia . Good bye.
You cam always try something like aquaponics. It can provide electricity as well as food both plants and fish. Takes little space. Gravity pumps and water wheels. We do it with fish tanks for herbs in my house but one day want to live completely off of the power grid. Methaine is another good one to provide gas from human waste. Not a lot of money to make but can change your life. Then you can change your nabors and so forth.

Haven Perez An aquaponics system requires recirculation of water hence constant pumping, you would need a very large elevated tank to use it as an energy store for wind pumped water in an aquaponic system. Overall, aquaponics typically present a constant power draw not an energy source. Also a typical human family would not produce enough methane in a biodigester to light a cooktop, it takes livestock and agricultural wastes to effect effectively use a small scale biodigester and you certainly couldn't fit the livestock and crops into a city flat besides how dangerous do you think a tank of methane would be in an apartment building. Community biodigesters at the waste treatment facilities might work but it isn't an option for an inner city sustainable architecture.
John Wang actually, aquaponic system can be ran without the use of electricity. A hydraulic ram pump would work with gravity to circulate the water. You can do this with almost any water source. The water wheels would produce a small amount of electricity to produce enough for some lights. You have to remember we are talking about a poorer country. Most people will have animals to help with the methane. It just using what is already available to help produce what's needed. More food and some electricity. While keeping it environmental friendly.
A hydraulic ram pump does not work with gravity though any pump can pump water to a higher elevation from which you can draw the water through gravity. You are grotesquely misusing terms. I would suggest you study first year engineering hydraulics
Some years ago a really bad disaster happened in Japan. This disaster pushed them to grow really fast as a country. We always see Japan as this super-advanced country. They started implementing technology in almost everything, and like that making artificial energy by mixing technology and natural resources with solar power making panels that work with the sun, and wind power. Japan is always trying to improve everything with the use of technology and showing it to the world.
It is quite admirable how as soon as Japan notice the damage that nuclear plants were causing, they decided to turn into renewable energy, taking care of the Earth, and improving their lifestyle. What the world needs the most, is a real interest in changing and improving things, pursuing a common benefit. What is wrong, is that most of the big companies, or rich people, don’t care about any of the problems around the world, because they don’t put in the situation of others, they prefer money overall than being empathetic. It is quite nice how in Japan they tried to ignore profit for a moment, to thinking of ways to improve the quality of life of society.
Japan has always been a country that identifies it for its great technological advances and how it has been advancing through the years but in addition to this something very important is that they have also sought ways to commit to the environment to create technologies that do not affect and do good for the world. They are currently creating new ways to replace electricity. In my opinion all countries should start doing more research to start making a change
We have just returned from Japan. They are way ahead of us here in Australia. The worst part of this is we do mot seem to care. If i were younger i would love to live there.
The technological advance in Japan is impressive, making it the first country with more technology after the United States. All the inventions that are shown in the video are very interesting and although it could be seen as something unreachable nowadays, there are already houses or companies that have solar panels as well as the methods of intelligent management of the whole place. I believe that technology has been advancing very fast and that many projects have been presented are in favor of the environment, such as solar energy.
Japan is second in energy consumption? That really surprises me. So much of the population lives in small apartments and uses public transit, hard to believe they would use more energy then people in say Canada or Australia. Perhaps that is based on total energy use rather then per-capita.
SkyEarthOcean they said it’s per capita
With the advent of industry 4.0 the fact that houses are smart is becoming easier, but what is really impressive is the fact that this type of technology is used in support with renewable energy such as sunlight or wind energy, however I believe that this type of technology will not be available to most people, as it is a trend that is currently very expensive, and I also believe that there is still a lack of alternative energies that we have at our disposal are not efficient enough even for a house to be 100% self-sustaining
We all know Japan is a pioneer country talking about technology and innovations. Is very interesting how because of the accident on the nuclear plant automatically they decided to start designing and manufacturing a lot inventions related to the renewable energies such as intelligent houses and some product such as air conditioner that save energy this kind of products are very common nowadays but the video has around eight years. Something that impact me a lot was de HEMS systems for house because is very futuristic but realistic and genius an maybe and some years that the way houses will be.
eco-friendly and easy to maintain. niceeee
It is really important to change our habits to help the environment, we could start changing our energies to renewable energy. Solar panels can be really expensive at first but when you get your energy bill it would be cheaper so it is more convenient for the environment and for ourselves. Some cities are more advanced that other. As Japan it's a country with a lot of technology they need to be careful on what their advances are, so that this advances don't affect the earth and some other countries can follow its example and help the environment as well.
Currently humanity is developing at an impressive speed, and innovation is a very important part of it, we can see that here there are many innovative proposals that are certainly futuristic ideas that will change the world, probably now we do not have the perfect team to develop these projects but anyway I have no doubt that over time we can develop new teams and consequently develop these ideas, and so we realize how we are getting closer to the future, although many people think we are already in the future, I personally believe that there are still many things to invent and discover
in my opinion I think that sustainable constructions can make a totally radical change since these focuses on increasing the efficiency of resource use - energy, water, and materials - while reducing building impacts on human health and the environment during the building's lifecycle, through better siting, design, construction, operation, maintenance, and removal. I would love to make a green construction because apart from that you save the environment personally I like too much the appearance of these green constructions since with the implementation of nature they have a very striking color and are complemented with the Nature
Amazed by kagoshima mega power plant!
This video is a little different from the first one, they talk about the same topic of organic materials and the recycling in the houses but you can notice that in Japan unlike the past video is more used the technology, here is included energy to help the environment like the load the cars instead of using gasoline in them, you can see that here is a very big company in which they focus in the help to the environment using the technology, in this video is not used much the plants but if ecological technologies like the solar panels that also help a lot. I like this idea more than anything because of the use of technology that makes construction easier and faster.
I was sure that Japan would be a leader in alternate energy sources like solar. Just this year Morocco opened their new solar plant also. Hope to see many more and higher efficiency.
So many women involved. Cool 👏👏
I like a lot that they do these events where brands are known and publicize their sustainable products, I also like that the government is implementing these habits in citizens, this is good because it could be creating a different culture and more in favor of the care of the planet, the best of this is that they will do for the whole city this is better because there are people who do not have the resources to put the solar panel and maybe paying their normal light without putting the panel getting the government.
Japan is awesome :))
The term green smart homes is common nowadays yet not everyone is aware of them, I love that they are so eco friendly homes featured with the latest technology. These homes meet the needs and wants of their occupant without harming the environment but If they are so beneficial, why is everyone not going for such homes?.This is a very good question that has a simple answer the limited awareness about green smart homes is the biggest barrier, Consequently, their costs are still high another thing that i can see in the video is al the advance technology that Is awesome and you cant see it everywhere like the enormous solar panels
thanks for sharing Link TV
Over the generations, human beings are evolving, changing and adapting our way of life according to the environment and world in which we develop. We currently have enough resources to continue using them for another year. but it is really worrying that these are over, which is why the great cities like China are already beginning to take action in the evolution of obtaining their resources or the substitution of these for something that is endless like the sun, earth , air, water, wind, etc
I think that is very intelligent from the part of Japan doing this kind of things because it can save us from the extinction and is important to prevent the consequences of what is contamination and the nuclear bomb, which left many places uninhabited, killed many people, left places with high levels of radiation and this directly affects the human body as these are waves outside the body
Japan is where it's at
It has been known of the previous accident of the tsunami in Japan, which caused a spill of the nuclear power plant to happen and cause a tragedy for anyone near the area because the toxic gases they released could kill an average person. Having devised measures to reduce the use of these energies shows that the government really collaborates with the good of society to make its environment safer; Asian cities have really innovative advances in technology to the point of automating everything, some household items such as a vacuum cleaner, air conditioning or washing machine automate them so that they only use the necessary energy.
These technological innovations are fabulous! What a pity Australia, with its abundance of solar energy, is so woefully behind the rest of the civilised world in harnessing it.
Gloria Kelly if retards didn't vote for liberal party and their deficit scare mongering, maybe we'll be able to build solar farms
I've always wanted to talk to my Fridge like in the "Brave Little Toaster".
Technology is advancing a lot in these years, an example of this is Japan, which is a world power in the field of technological advances, as can be seen, an example of this are the large solar panels that are being designed right there, then there are the electric cars that have had great advances during these years because they are now self-sustaining because they only occupy a small power station and then there are the others that with the friction of the wheels give energy to the engine. Therefore I believe that these great advances are magnificent for humanity.
Well done Japan
I have always know that Japan were one of the most advanced countries in technology beside other Asian countries. Since the accident of Fukushima Japan have always wanted to find another way to get clean energy and that's way Japan is investing in solar energy because as small it is one of the most advanced and concern about the climate change. The real problem is the other countries that do not invest in their technologies and keep polluting and example mexico.
This is amazing world take note keep this stuff up its brilliant
Indonesia should make this too , this is so cool
duitnya dari mana mbak
dari ngutang mbak.....
Uang bisa dicari. Yang penting ada itikad dan perencanaan yang jelas untuk mencapai tujuan ini. Jepang yang gak punya sumber daya alam aja bisa begitu. Masa Indonesia yang serba ada, segala punya gak bisa ngikutin. Tinggal kitanya mau atau ngga?
alasan kenapa kita (indonesia) susah maju, itu karena kita terlalu banyak memproduksi politisi ketimbang profesional insinyur atau ilmuan.. andai kata politisi itu bisa diexport ke luar negeri wah bisa jadi pemasukan buat kita, atau paling tidak ditukar dgn beras saja, lumayan kan.
I am really glad that this is happening, i have always thought that with a really good effort and resources the mankind will find the next step to a better future, this video is just a proof that some people still care about the environment and tha should all give us hope to be available to see a society that will have a really low amount of carbon emissions. I really admire the way that japanese people work and do things because they are very disciplined and thet can do whatever they propose
Going Green sounds and looks cool - but it is expensive - up to five times the cost and the returns take 20 to 30 years to even out as well as by that time most of the items like wind mills, solar panels, batteries, and thermal piping needs replacing. If anyone has been to japan its not the end all be all in technology but rather I would approximate that 80% are still in semi modest homes without the electric/oil/hot water/furnace heating, air conditioning, and other benefits we have in America or Europe. Green houses would be great if we didn't have to pay property or residential taxes as well.
I totally agree - just wish our government encourage people to go green by making it affordable and giving benefits to those who are willing to go that extra mile
Ummm did you just reply to yourself?
@@AppieSwitch Sometimes you do,a last minute thought, no foul, no harm- proves you are paying attention .
...I'm green with envy.
superb ideas
Such good products.
Thumbs up Japan
Is their an update on the progress that has been made over the past 5 years
Japan is so cool, I would love there but I don't really like how they operate their education system...
I love all of this, what I do not like is that (Well at least here in the US) the government will find a way to make this "very profitable" for themselves!
I love Japan for its awesome technology growth. But why they have tiny houses .
some of this sounds pretty cool but I don't get the whole fridge says hello... wouldn't that just be a waste of electricity? I don't know about most but I just need it to keep things cold, not hang out and make me feel special. Also Where does the car's power come from? normally with electric cars you charge them from your house, but if it's power the house then it's not charging...My car can charge a little bit through brakes and such to create some power but no where near enough to not only run but power other things as well
Why no mention of flueless energy creation from magnetism? Perhaps they are missing the boat ...
This looks really nice, but do we have the technology to recycle all that fancy high-tech stuff safely at the end of its lifetime? Is high-tech sustainable on long term?
Dénes Ludmány yes good point! Those materials must be recyclable in a safe clean efficient way
Minimalism is the answer
I hope that someday soon all Countries will switch to natural resources that don't harm the environment. It would be great if they required that use Solar, Hydro, Wind, etc. to power our planet and no longer use nuclear, or fossil fuels.
With the model demonstrated in this video, we could easily run electric vehicles, charge them throughout the city, at our homes, and no longer use gasoline powered vehicles.
True
Propinionation it's a good idea, a way people can work alongside and not against nature as well as enjoying their current westernized "evolved" lifestyle and all that comes with it in responsible ways .....it takes a look at the way the tribal ethic communities live their sustainable life but also allows the current way the "advanced" world exist, there is a lot we can learn from nature and how it actually sustains itself without harming itself ....
twinkitten1 - I agree. Nature always amazes me. If it weren't for nature, we wouldn't be able to breathe.
Humans are a part of nature. I've rambled enough on how amazing nature is.
If only hu-"MAN"-ity would get it together with their mental biases, bigotry, hate, etc., towards each other, and towards nature, then, and only then, we will all be saved from "natural" disasters caused mostly by greedy _____ supremacy.
About week ago, for two days, it was extremely unusual for the weather to be in its 60 - 80 degrees. The last time, as far as I can remember when we had 60 - 80 degree weather in the winter, it was back in November, or December of '92, or '94. I could be wrong.
I like the video and its cool green technology but the truth about it is: will the average person be able to afford all these cool devices? I don't think so, maybe in the future if it becomes common practice to build homes like this , but for now you better have a lot of money and get you check book ready to pay! 😉
The utility companies want to keep it's customers dependant on them.
It is for me an incredible form of approach a very bad disaster whit the accident of the tsunami and the nuclear plant to stop other nuclear plans that can cause problems like that, and starting to make energy whit others alternatives like the sun where they use zones that they don’t use or floating in the sea, that is an example of the government actions that gave help to the companies, something that I think is a good idea not just in this case because other countries can do this to stop the pollution that they produce.
Great idea to use the car for backup energy storage. Great car size too. On the other hand, the reduction in energy use afforded by these things is not enough. And raw materials to make all new stuff is harmful to the planet. I would be impressed if they said everything was made from recycled materials.
Andrea Wisner : Better to be a little impressed than overwhelmed !
Wow that`s awsome
Well done Jaque Fresco :) #thevenusproyect
WHOA TECHNOLOGY!
Way to go Japan :D
Japan green technology is good quality, but unfortunately it's also very expensive.
You'll get your return on investment usually right before the end of life of the eco-product you bought.
It's impressive how Asian countries like in this case: Japan has always been at the forefront in a sector as important as technology and it is interesting to see the great projects and advances that take in such a short time also in the video are mentioned large companies like Toshiba and the idea they are looking for the future and finally what caught my attention is the simplicity of the systems that handle how you can distribute energy with a simple button controlling from the level of your car load to the level of light in your home.
I just didn’t want to have to live in a boring square, give up internet, and be able to charge an EV
Were these representatives recorded under duress?
They seem very stressed
why don't they just use thorium?
The car rely on electric energy? where does the car energy comes from? solar?
Yes, and wind
You kidding me...? Now, how are the poor energy companies going to make money if people finally gets to have control over their own energy...?
+Jorge Solis Diversification. They'll go into insurance or junk food, don't you worry.
i wish battery devices such as phones wouldn't be able to be discharged below 20% or be charged past 80% so as to prolong the batteries ability to hold a charge.
Where did japan put all the waste from the Nuclear disaster ?
I think that Hackers are really happy about it.
in a resourced based economy, everyone could live like this~!!! in the current monetary economy, only a selected few are able to afford these cool stuff.. look up Jaqcue Fresco and his lifework of The Venus Project. We all could be living like this.
But if your pulling power from the car to power the home then you won't have power to drive to work.
DanielRichards644 im sure they still have more then the power need in that car i bet they drive to work a plug in and take the power home with them from work to use at night after work done for the day and i bet there battery keeping the power at home ready for when they come home to charge the car again to get back to work this is not hard to see this
look at the usa car tesla it has like 80kw battery in it my home use to use 30kw a day know i use under 12kw aday cuting the big power users in the home i live 80% off grid know it not to much longer i be 100% this is all doable in day and i live on a pension im not loaded with my if i can do it some of the rich can do this as they have the cash to do it but they don't the most comment i is i can pay for my power bills .but i dont see them trying to help the world out its all about there self but if we do do any thing i cant see as lasting long in this world it be gone and to later to do any thing about it .... come on we need help people not just saying it will ever work, do some thing to help or try
Don't get me wrong I'm all for solar and stuff, I've been coming up with my own ways of reducing energy demands in the small house designs I've been developing for potential building as soon as I can financially afford to do so but the way the video presented it was like the house running strictly off the car at night when what I think they where trying to show that product as more of an "emergency generator" type thing that you would use to power the house if the grid went down due to some natural disaster. I'm even in the early stages of researching what it would take to make the house as much 12 or 24 volt as possible to eliminate as much waste as possible from the inverters while at the same time trying to design a house that would likely be built on grid and slowly shifted to off grid as finances allowed.
DanielRichards644 ok cool happy to here your a solar person to and yes with you thinking the 12v/24v good good one more person thinks like me alot of people think im funny to have my home off grid.
A pure dc home it a long way with that mate as most of my power tools still 240v my inverter have to stay for know but i have my 24"led tv use 19watts my led lights in all rooms and my 12v fridge freezer my fish tank air pumps and all water pumps all dc 12v i cut 80% off my power bill and yes know on to solar hot water from dc solar panels go right on my 240v ac heater element i put 4 panels get up to 120v dc and it runs fine for over 8 mths in testing and get nice hot water every day.
o and it maybe be one more year i take the last 20% as finances allowed under stand what your saying there mate cost of living today is nuts
DanielRichards644 YOU'RE pulling, not your -_-
TRMTHEweasel THEIR battery, not there ; NOW I use, not know ; THEIR self, not there -_-
Nuclear energy should not be illiminated because it's efficient, environmental friendly, safe and not costly rather than coal, gas, diesel energy. There's no fatalities in fukusiama disaster due to nuclear radiation, the people die due to water drowning.
hello Japan!!!!!Mit Mirage lover/driver x3 now. Toyostove user this year. VERY hard to get in mid US. Not friendly US companies won't sell/ship them. I want to be a dealer, they won't talk. Help
Can’t understand half of this
Remember guys Japan has alot experience with nuclear energy
Country have rich oil hate this idea LOL hahahah. Japanese don't have any natural source, that's why they need update more technogy to survive. They're smart & hard working people!!!
They made fun of Japan. In future, almost source from ground are dying, they're the only one save the people. If ppl keep laughing & make fun of them. I can say you need to shut up & open you eye.
Their inspirits of working & create is NO JOKE!!!
Innovate design it and very effective: check
Make it affordable: uhh.......
Eco-inventions in a nutshell
Not important Please don’t when the tech becomes more available and better it will be cheaper
This is whole thing is going to be a disaster. Japan is requiring all of the utility companies to buy inefficient green energy at a premium meaning the utilities will have to pass this cost onto the customers or be bailed out by the government. The nuclear reactors didn't destroy Japan, they should simply be rebuilt in a safer area.
Wow I need that power to charge my Android phone
After being hit with the big birthday, Japan decided to cooperate with us.
When Japan got to big for it's britches, they cooperated with us when we hit them with a deep penetrating nuclear war head.
The world will do as $GOD SAYS, OR ELSE $GOD WILL CONVINCE YOU TO COOPERATE WITH IT.
INCORPORATE WITH $GOD OR ELSE.
But if Fusion works out, nuclear energy will become extremely enticing!
No, not "fusion", the breeder reactors that China is beginning to retrofit into its existing nuclear reactors
