Back in the fall<\/a>, I told you about the finalists in the X-Prize “What’s Your Crazy Green Idea?” contest, and urged you to go vote for one of the three finalists who were competing for the $25,000 prize. The X-Prize Foundation<\/a> has announced the winners. They are Bryan Le and Kyle Good<\/a> from Irvine, CA.<\/h3>\n

Their \u201cCrazy Green Idea\u201d to develop a new storage medium, an \u201cultra-capacitor,\u201d generated the highest number of votes to be crowned champions of this competition and be the recipients of the $25,000 prize check from Prize Capital.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Check out the video that won them the competition.<\/p>\n
