Top Tip- Sugru For Fixing Things!

I first heard about Sugru on Campfirestyle,this genius putty that can be moulded & applied to fix a multitude of things.It's not very expensive ( 8 mini packs for £11) so I ordered some straight away from their website , I wanted to start on my long list of 'bits' that need fixing.

And guess what...it's fantastic! I bought this antique drinks dispenser a while ago but the original cork disintegrated & try as I did I couldn't find one to fit. So we had a beautiful but leaking drinks dispenser...until now!

I applied the Sugru around the tap fixing, left it for 24 hours to cure & it works - no leaks!

It's safe & looks, well I don't think you really notice it.I also had that real sense of satisfaction that I'd fixed something that had been niggling away at me.

Sweet hydrogen: how sugar could help satisfy the world's energy needs

In the last of her series on clean energy, Lou Del Bello discovers the revolutionary potential of turning sugar into hydrogen

Hydrogen makes an extraordinarily efficient and clean fuel. Three times as energy-efficient as petrol, Nasa used it to power its space shuttles. It can be used to generate electricity and only produces water as a byproduct.

And yet, scientists are struggling to scale up hydrogen production. Ironically, given hydrogen's green potential, the cheapest and most viable sources are hydrocarbon-based compounds such as natural gas. But liberating hydrogen from fossil fuels creates carbon emissions that outweigh any environmental advantages.

Percival Zhang, professor of bioengineering at Virginia Tech Institute, says that the problem is not just technical but that, sometimes, "scientists have poor imaginations". And so he wants to try something different: why not take advantage of an abundant natural resource, sugar? "Our idea is that simple," he says. "We call the project Sweet Hydrogen."

Biomass – trees, plants and other waste vegetable matter – is an abundant and rapidly renewable source of starch and sugars, that is nowadays used to produce biofuels. Exploiting biomass to produce sugar, and turning that sugar into hydrogen, could lead a change in global energy production.
