Feb. 17 | High School Kids Build What Might Be the World’s Most Efficient Electric Car Pending confirmation by the folks at Guinness, a group of students at DeLaSalle high school in Kansas City will be able to say they’ve built the world’s most...
Feb. 16 | “Physicists have produced nanoribbons of graphene — the single-atom-thick carbon — that conduct electrons better than theory predicted even for the most idealized form of the material (abstract). The finding could help graphene realize its promise...
Feb. 13 | DIY Build Session SOLN1 Portable Solar Power Published on Mar 28, 2013 Learn how to build the SOLN1 unit yourself using off the shelf components. This video will guide you through the complete build process. Builders Hub: http://soln1.com/ More info at:...
Feb. 7 | German architect André Broessel, of Rawlemon, has looked into his crystal ball and seen the future of renewable energy. In this case it’s a spherical sun-tracking solar energy-generating globe — essentially a giant glass marble on a robotic steel...
Feb. 5 | A new theoretical model developed by professors at the University of Houston (UH) and Université de Montréal may hold the key to methods for developing better materials for solar cells. Eric Bittner, a John and Rebecca Moores Professor of Chemistry...
Jan. 9 | MOTOR/GENERATOR runs on high voltage low current .30amp. This design is much like John Bedini that he is collecting back EMF and capturing it and storing in the supercaps. Then reusing the electricity from supercap bank that is charged, -> down back...
Jan. 5 | Invented in the early 1959, Nitinol alloys exhibit two closely related and unique properties: shape memory and super-elasticity. Shape memory is the ability of Nitinol to undergo deformation at one temperature, then recover its original, undeformed shape...
Dec. 22 | Critics of energy from solar panels argue that just to avert less than one-tenth of the anticipated growth in coal burning by 2050, would require 200 of the Million Solar Roof initiatives launched by California’s Government. Yet, credible solar...
Dec. 12 | The technology is here to do away with the lead acid battery. In this video lasersaber has replaced his car battery with an array of super capacitors and runs a few tests. The uses could be limitless. Solar panels could recharge these quicker than battery’s...
Dec. 11 | Cool Solar Experiments For Home or the Classroom. To do these experiments you can get simple supply’s from recycling cardboard box’s that can come from a large appliance or old furniture box. The gesso paste, acrylic paint, paintbrush, and graph paper...
