Oil'd

Oil’d by Chris Harmon, a visual essay that reminds us of our dependence on black gold

A year ago, a massive oil spill began in the Gulf. The entire country was glued to the news until the well was capped, and then we forgot about it.

As the year anniversary was fast approaching I became curious, just how much oil was that exactly? Where would it have gone? What I found was shocking.

So in an effort to further our discussion on oil dependency I created this short animation. I've spent all of my free time in the last month putting this together to help illustrate just how dependent we truly are on oil.

Facebook: The New Word of Mouth

Facebook Studio presents The New Word of Mouth.

The New Word of Mouth

Why is Facebook such an effective marketing tool? In part, because it has become such an important part of people’s lives. But Facebook also allows people to connect and share with their friends about everything that is important to them, including the brands that they love.

A word of mouth recommendation has always been the most trusted, effective form of marketing. Facebook simply allows the 1 to 1 phenomenon of word of mouth to become scalable. People who like and interact with brands on Facebook can share their interactions organically to their entire network through the News Feed. On average people on Facebook have about 130 friends, and with over 500 million people on Facebook, each interaction has the potential to create word of mouth at a scale that has never before been seen.

Energy & Dynamic Braking

Energy: you can't destroy it, but you can certainly waste it. That's what most motorized vehicles do, including trains. Usually, the energy generated when you stop a moving vehicle is dissipated as heat, and is lost to the atmosphere. With GE's ecomagination we've discovered that you can capture and store that energy, then reuse it - that's how our hybrid systems work.

Watch the above video to see a simple illustration of the physics behind dynamic braking. Keep in mind an object's force is measured in newtons, using the equation force = Mass x Acceleration.
