The Hybrid Field Motor: Using Half Rare-Earth Magnets, Cheaper, Same Performance for EVs
The hybrid field motor works by generating a magnetic force by synchronizing a permanent magnet and an electromagnet. The main advantage is that hybrid field motors only use half of the amount of rare-earth magnet, compared to a synchronous motor, that you can see in today's hybrid or electric vehicles.
Scientists Discover Huge Energy Source by Breaking a Nature Law In Ion Collider
Things are to be discussed, but it looks like scientists from the Brookhaven National Laboratory on Long Island, using their Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider (RHIC), created a symmetry-breaking bubble of space where parity, one of nature's fundamental concepts, no longer existed for a tiny fraction of a second.
Solar Powered Cellphone Towers Can Dramatically Reduce Own Carbon Footprint
The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy of the Indian government will present a mandate that would require telecom operators to use solar panels to power their cellphone towers. This will dramatically reduce their carbon footprint and will make a huge difference in long term.
New Nano-Hybrid Capacitors Can Store Much More Energy Than Normal Ones
Nippon Chemi-Con Corp has been developing a new type of capacitors called "nano-hybrid capacitor" and plans to launch the first samples on the market by April 2011. These new capacitors generation will be introduced as replacement to the normal electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) and will have an energy density several times higher than that of a EDLC.
The Large Hadron Collider Could Help Find Magnetic Monopoles
The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN could change physics the way we know it. James Pinfond, from the University of Alberta, made a theory according to which magnetic monopoles could exist - unleashing the way for new kinds of energy.
Micro-Bubbles Injected Into Oceans Reduce Global Warming, Physicist Says
Russell Seitz, a physicist at the Harvard University, has thought of an ingenious way to fight global warming by cooling the planet by parts. The ingenious way Seitz wants to do this is by pumping vast swarms of tiny bubbles into the sea to increase its reflectivity.
Wide-Band Solar Cell Harvests Ultraviolet, Visible and Infrared Light
A group of Japanese researchers led by Saki Sonoda, associate professor at the Kyoto Institute of Technology, have built a prototype of a solar cell that can harvest ultraviolet, visible and infrared light as well. This wide-band solar cell could offer tremendous increases in efficiency.
Hair Conditioning Shampoo Component Captures 90% of Coal Plants' CO2
Aminosilicones are regularly used in hair-conditioning shampoos and fabric softeners, but recently they show usefulness in fighting global warming by filtering carbon dioxide out of flue gases from coal plants.
Portable Desalination System Designed by MIT Could Save Lives
Water desalination is very important in areas where earthquakes, tsunamis or other natural catastrophes occurred. Usually, these areas are located near the sea or the ocean, and desalinizing the water could definitely save lives.
Mazda Adding Start/Stop Technology to All Their Cars by 2015: EPA Opposes
Idling your car at a stoplight is always damaging your plans of saving fuel and the air quality. I know someone who lives close to a stoplight and he says the air is much more polluted there than in other areas.
