In their search to make better fuel cells, a research team from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST), in collaboration with the University of Liverpool, has discovered a new structure that moves oxygen ions through the cell at substantially lower temperatures than previously thought possible.
Watch the video first, and then read the article. It may be better that way. Some things must be stood up for, because this is our only way of saving the whole world from petrol dependence.
A team of researchers from the University of British Columbia, coordinated by Physics Assoc. Prof. Andrea Damascelli, has managed to develop a technique that controls the number of electrons from the surface of a high temperature superconductor. This procedure has been considered impossible for the last 20 years.
California-based company Ultracell designed this methanol fuel cell for the army. XX25 uses eight and a half ounces of methanol to supply power for a military laptop for eight hours. It can also be made to last longer if you attach it to a bigger tank of methanol.
Toto invented a self-powered faucet. Self-powered is a little exaggerated, because this electric faucet's sensor is powered by the electricity produced by a small turbine, located inside.
The city of Paris will adopt a new way of transport until the end of 2009. Mayor Bertrand Delanoi« announced last week that the Parisians will have around 4000 public electric cars to travel with in Paris and in...
TGER is the name of the trash-eating machine. It uses multiple technologies to fuel a standard 60-kilowatt electrical generator.
The scientists from the University of Delaware created an electric car prototype that runs on electricity alone. The great fact is that it also can, theoretically, earn money for its owner by storing electricity and providing it for utilities when needed.
Chrysalix Energy invested several million dollars in a Dutch-based maker of ultrafast battery chargers that aim the market of electric cars and plug-in hybrids. Epyon B.V.,produced a "supercharge" technology that reduces the charge time of lithium-ion batteries 20 times below the times reached by current chargers.
Mazda is in the process of testing a car that runs on both hydrogen and gasoline (it's a dual fuel system). They're allowed to test the car on the public roads from Japan.
