DBM Energy's Ultra-Fast & Potent EV Battery Independently Verified by German Government
They say that what doesn't kill you makes you stronger - DBM Energy submitted their claims and prototype to German government officials who tested a 68 kWh lithium-metal-polymer battery pack and found out it could carry a car as far as 284 miles (454 kilometers) on one charge.
Tigo Energy Finding Solution for Those Shaded, Inefficient Solar Panel Arrays
If one goes down, they all go down: I'm talking about solar panels and the way they work â€Ã¢â‚¬Å“ or don't anymore - when lined up. There are various reasons they could stop functioning: an apparently harmless thing as a cloud shading just one of them is enough to affect the performance of the rest. Yes, they are that sensitive!
Elysian Fields as Elysian Sewers: Paris and Its Geothermal Potential
The past, present and future of Paris are closely tied to the city's underground. The sewers network that today serves as the shooting ground for movies, could be used to harness hydrokinetic and geothermal energy.
Pakistan to Build Its First On-Grid Solar Electricity System
Pakistan is catching up on its enormous solar energy potential pretty soon: in less than a year, the Pakistan Engineering Council (PEC) will build the country's first on-grid solar electricity system. It will be put in place because of the energy crisis and will be a big stimulus for the local economy.
Green Algae Able to Eliminate Radioactive Strontium from Water and Nuclear Waste
Just like hound dogs sniffing around for burglars, Closterium moniliferum, an green alga that usually lives in ponds, could sniff and eliminate radioactive strontium 90 (Sr-90) from water and from existing nuclear waste. 80 million gallons of radioactive nuclear waste are already stored in the United States. The discovery has been made by Northwestern University and Argonne National Laboratory researchers.
