To support what I've been saying earlier about Flodesign's wind turbine, here's one example of what happens when there's too much wind speed on the turbine:
Here's an invention that should capture more of the world's attention, because it can capture more of the world's winds. Flodesign's "jet engine"-shaped wind turbine has a slightly different way of seeing the wind flow, and by this it is three to four times more efficient.
This is the Wrightspeed X1, built by Ian Wright (51), the first employee from Tesla Motors. It is a full electric car that can do 0-60mph in about 3 seconds. You wish it could go further than that? Yes,...
A group of researchers at the Technical University of Denmark's project laboratory in Risi¸ have discovered a cooling method that uses magnetic materials instead of electricity, reported daily free newspaper Nyhedsavisen. The invention will allow for refrigerators to replace existing...
The ACCESS, as you can see in the title, was developed by Global Research Technologies in Tucson, Arizona. They made a sponge-based system that filters out CO2 from the air and releases clean oxygen. The system has been made in...
"Enfucell", a Finland-based company, has developed a flexible thin battery named "SoftBattery". This 0.3 - 1.0 millimeter battery (1.5 or 3.0 V) can produce a peak electric current of 4mA/cm². Enfucell was founded in 2002, after nearly ten years...
Before going into the details of this invention it would be worthwhile to have an idea of how any generator, even in theory, could be capable of producing a self-sustaining current. This has been clearly explained by Walter M. Elsasser in a Scientific American article (May 1958) titled "The Earth as a Dynamo."
Recently, a team of biologists demonstrated that some algae, named Chlamydomonas reinhardtii can produce hydrogen in a specific environment. Normally, these bacterias produce oxygen, but the scientists modified their genes, added copper to block the oxygen production, so the...
Nanosolar has created a thin film solar battery, much more efficient than anything existing on the market nowadays. Its thin film technology transfers the sun light in a very efficient way. The Nanosolar power plant will begin producing energy in...
There are many ways for building a stirling engine boat. You can either use a frame of square lumbers or fiber-reinforced plastic. However, piling thick balsa boards can also do the trick and can get you with a minimal concept...
