Saul Griffiths' sun-tracking solar systems and intestine-inspired car gas tanks

Extreme maker and MacArthur “Genius” Saul Griffih, of inflatable robots and algorithmically-designed hoodie fame, writes:

(My independent research lab) Otherlab has recently received ARPA-e awards for two great projects in clean energy. ARPA-e is having a vote to have the best projects present at the ARPA-e showcase in a few weeks in Washington DC to get national exposure. We’d like to see both of these projects receive the attention they deserve to enable them to succeed as fast as possible.

You can vote for one, and in fact both, at the links below. Make sure to watch the intestine video beautifully drawn by Nick Dragotta and narrated by Tucker Gilman.

* Safe, dense, high pressure, conformal energy storage for natural gas vehicles

* Low cost high precision heliostats for solar energy.
