Japan to Build a New Building-Type Wind Energy Generator
Wind power is the transformation of wind energy into a usable and universally-accepted form of energy, such as electricity. Wind turbines are used to make electricity, while wind mills are used for mechanical power or sails to propel ships.
Apple's Patented Liquidmetal Could Enable Fuel Cells to Power Future iPhones
A Liquidmetal patent for an internal component of a fuel cell has been granted to Apple. Initially, the experts believed that the patent was for an iPhone antenna or for a new iPad enclosure, but it seems that they were wrong.
New Chinese Technology To Reuse Irradiated Nuclear Fuel
According to China Central Television, Chinese scientists have made a discovery in nuclear fuel reprocessing technology stating that the uranium supplies might end soon. China's proven uranium sources will last for only half a century or so, but the technology produced by China National Nuclear Corp gives the country the opportunity to re-use the irradiated nuclear fuel.
Mexico to Build 1 GW Clean-Energy Storage Facility
At Mexicali, Baja California, a green energy storage facility with a capacity of 1000 MW is being built by Rubenius, a Dubai-based alternate energy and smart grid solutions provider. The project is planned to become operational in about six years or so and needs an investment of $4 billion.
