In latter years, more and more homes have been equipped with photovoltaic cells able to produce enough energy to feed satisfy they power needs. According to the researchers at the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a solar system generates around...
A new project aimed at sequestering CO2 and at the same time extracting energy from geothermal resources is being developed by Berkeley Lab researchers. Their plan is to build a CO2-enabled geothermal system in Cranfield, Mississippi a year from...
The United States is one step closer to building a giant solar power project that will bring 400 new green jobs to Arizona. Dubbed Agua Caliente, the new 290-megawatt solar facility will be based on two new technologies that...
According to a study made by Solarbuzz, the United States' solar photovoltaic (PV) market is to double in 2011. Due to the latest 17 gigawatt solar project, the Port Washington, NY-based research firm is convinced that the US solar PV market will reach 6.4 GW by the end of 2015.
California-based Sempra Generation has succeeded completing the construction of the United States' largest photovoltaic power plant in Boulder City, CO. Now the same company wants to build the second solar energy plant in South Nevada, much bigger than the first one.
Radio signals are mostly used for information transfer purposes, but the energy they contain is mostly left unused, bouncing off the various obstacles until all of it is transformed into lost heat. Nihon Dengyo Kosaku, a Japanese company, has come up with a device that harvests radio signals and uses their power.
Someone got my attention these days with a device supposed to produce energy by using ferrofluids. He called this device "Continuous Friction Motion Machine," and the energy generated would be dead cheap.
According to the company, the new apps are free to anyone with a Nissan LEAF and those who have an active CARWINGS subscription. This service connects navigation systems to mobile phones to update drivers with alternate routes to avoid congestion and real-time traffic information.
The novel non-deformed energy storage phase change material (PCM), as the scientists dubbed it, can efficaciously regulate heat, by virtue of its large energy storage capacity. The best part is that it could be cheaply manufactured.
A new solid state lithium battery has been recently invented by Japanese researchers. The cell performs just as well as regular lithium ion batteries, but instead of having a liquid electrolyte, it features a solid one. The advantages are numerous and people have been researching solid electrolytes for the past few years.
