Ryszard says it's much more efficient to assemble solar cell this way than put them directly into light, where you'll lose a lot through reflection back into the environment. Some recently invented anti-reflective coatings may even accelerate the light's absorption into the solar cells. This is one of the advantages.
It's almost two years since I first wrote about Flodesign's Jet Engine-like wind turbine, and, at that time, I was saying it was 4 times more efficient than any regular wind turbine used today. Now it's good news to hear that they grew up, and their plans pass on from theory to practice.
Following the dream of realizing a high-temperature superconductor, Cornell University researchers just found something about iron-based materials: they can be made to resemble electronic liquid crystals.
Toshiba Corp aims that by the end of 2010 will build a next-generation electric power system in Okinawa Prefecture, Japan. According to the company, the system will come with storage batteries to stabilize the supply electric energy by solar panels, wind turbines, etc.
This is another free energy device using magnets taken from PESWiki.com. The inventor is George Delk, who allegedly runs this device for three years now.
For every device there is plogg, a measuring apparatus mounted between the wall socket and the consumer that measures its power consumption and wirelessly sends that consumption to a central server around your house.
I've always wanted to have a Prius, but didn't have the "tim€" and "$pace" for one up to now. Good news are on the way, as Toyota is planning a smaller variation of the Prius - the FT-CH. Cheaper and smaller, the FT-CH is addressing the younger segment of the green-trendy population.
Kevin, from Hydrogencarsnow.com recently talked to Louis Ventre, Executive VP and General Counsel for HCE, LLC, who filed a patent application for a new hydrogen storage system, based on nano-sized hydrogen bubbles contained in a water environment.
A team of students led by Harus Laksana Guntur, an engineering lecturer at the Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) in East Java capital Surabaya have developed a mobile kinetic energy charger that can charge your cellphone every time you move. Unlike a battery or solar charger, this new cellphone charger uses the user's energy to reload mobile phones.
The genome sequence was published in the journal Nature, and its main purpose was to better understand the plant's capacity to turn sunlight, carbon dioxide, nitrogen and water, into concentrated energy, protein, and nutrients for human and animal use.
