The company Chemviron Midwest has developed the world's first solar-powered water purification system. The 25-feet long and 15-feet high water purification system, known as Redbird, can be completely enclosed in a shipping container, being easily transported in various parts of the world.
NASA to Make Its Future Rocket Fuel From Water and Aluminum
At first, I found it surprising, but when I did some research and had a second though about it, I learned that when NASA or any other space agency launches a space ship, it consumes about 773 tons of ammonium perchlorate, and releases some 230 tons of hydrochloric acid immediately after launch.
DeSoto Solar Power Plant Capable of Generating 110MW of Electricity
The company Florida Power & Light has announced that its project called DeSoto Next Generation Solar Energy Center in Arcadia, Florida, will be finalized soon and should be generating electric energy by the end of this month.
Better Solar Panels With Newly Discovered Nanometric Butterfly Wings
Researchers at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid (UAM) and the State University of Pennsylvania (USA) have created a method to replicate biological structures, such as butterfly wings, on a nanometric scale. The resulting biomaterial could be used to make optically active structures, such as optical diffusers for solar panels.
XX55: Military Designed Methanol Fuel Cell Lasting for Weeks
The company that produced the XX25 methanol fuel cell we talked about last year, Ultracell, came up with an improved version of it, the XX55. This fuel cell outputs 55watts at 4 amps (10-30 volts), and can last for days or even weeks on a single methane cartridge.
MU Scientists Discover Nuclear Battery That Might Just Be Safe
The scientists from the University of Missouri may have found a way to develop a nuclear energy source that is smaller, lighter and more efficient.
New Nickel-Lithium Batteries: Chance for 800 Miles Electric Car Autonomy
The electric cars' problem of a low mileage may have found its solution. Recently discovered Nickel-Lithium batteries have 3.5 times more energy than the standard Lithium-Ion batteries and besides this, they are much safer to use.
Dow Chemical to Develop Energy Efficient Solar Shingles
A company named Dow Chemical revealed a new line of solar roof shingles that convert sunlight into electric energy, being able to generate $5 billion in revenue for the company by 2015.
