New Battery Technology Charges in Seconds
New Nanogenerator for Ipods and Cellphones In the 237th National Meeting of the American Chemical Society (ACS) an interesting fact came to light that in near future we can recharge our cell phones or iPods by waving or stretching our arms, beating of your heart or going for a walk. We dont need to plug-in our devices in a socket. [.]Posted in: Future Energy, Inventions |
New Battery Technology Charges in Seconds For the successful takeover of alternative energy over conventional sources of energy we need a good battery technology too for power storage. The devices we want to keep on using need to be recharged. And we all know that recharge takes hours whether its our mobiles or laptops. If the researchers from MIT has [.]Posted in: Batteries, Inventions |
| Study says global warming cant be undone for 1000 years Global warming ‘irreversible’ for next 1000 years. As reported by AFP, NOAA (National Oceanographic and Atmospheric Administration) scientists have released a study saying that current levels of global warming will cause irreversible damage, no matter what is done in the future to decrease CO2 and other related emissions.  |
| The drought as tipping point for California’s broken water policy Laura Harnish is the California Regional Director. Californias drought, now in its third year, is getting plenty of attention EUR both in-state and beyond its borders. This attention is deserved because in 2009, reduced water supplies are affecting our cities, farms and natural environment.Comments made at a recent congressional hearing may have outshone the fundamental [.] |
Longest Nanowires May Lead To Better Fuel Cells We are searching for the alternative energy which can conveniently be used for our industrial and everyday purposes. Wind, water, geothermal and many other alternative energy sources are good and clean and green. But all of them lack one thing or another and dont seem commercially viable. Researchers all over the world are trying [.]Posted in: Batteries, Fuel Cells, Inventions |
| U.S. takes a gamble with test of carbon caps on car makers. The Obama administration is preparing to test whether capping greenhouse gas emissions will push the economy into higher gear, or deeper into a rut. The likely subject of the experiment is the ailing auto industry. |
| Shape Memory Fan Saves Energy Shape Memory Fan SchematicThis idea for a fan that changes shape with temperature could be adapted to room fans, air conditioners, airplanes (cool dense air needs less of a push for the same reaction). |
