Berkeley Lab Scientist - Produces More Electricity Than He Consumes - 0 views

  •  
    To power his home and his car, Greenberg has two solar installations and a solar water heater. They produce so much energy he has dubbed his home the Ordway Solar Power Plant. His solar panels, which sit atop his white roof, generate roughly 7,000 kilowatt-hours annually. His house and his electric car together use about 3,000 kWh per year. That leaves about 4,000 kWh surplus that he gives back to Pacific Gas & Electric every year, enough to power about two-thirds of another typical single-family home in the area.

"Smart" Banks? - 0 views

  •  
    "Bank" used to be one of those oh-so-solid words that made you feel grounded. As in "bank on it" or "you can take it to the bank." You could count on it. But since the fall of 2008, the start of the Economic Collapse of the New Millennium, "bank" has taken on new, negative meanings.

INTK Stock Profile at Stock Guru. INTK Steady Doubling of Sales While Economy Suffers :... - 0 views

  •  
    Steady Doubling of Sales While Economy Suffers We have seen steady growth in INTK. In mid June INTK announced sales in June of 2009 were $100,552.85, more than double the revenues of June of 2008, a year when annual revenues were $1,424,036.00 US. Industrial Nanotech, Inc. intends to meet or exceed their uninterrupted five year track record of approximately doubling revenues every year. I want to put this in perspective. The economy is terrible. Sacred cow companies are losing ground. Utilities have always been super steady but they are having trouble --- and yet ---- INTK keeps on doubling sales year over year.

Solar powered plane to circle the globe | Gadling.com - 0 views

  •  
    The Solar Impulse is the brain child of Bertrand Piccard, a Swiss adventurer and environmentalist, who launched the project back in 2003 with the aim of promoting the use of renewable energy sources. Now, in 2009, he is closing in on that dream. His plane has a 200-foot wingspan which is lined with 12,000 photovoltaic solar cells that will draw energy from the sun to power its four engines.

Industrial Nanotech, Inc. Provides Results of 3-Year Field Trials of Recently Released ... - 0 views

  •  
    a global leader in nanoscience energy saving solutions, provided a follow up to their earlier product announcement for Nansulate® Crystal, a clear protective roof coating for sloped roofs which provides thermal insulation, as well as resistance to UV and mold and mildew. The product successfully completed a 3-year field trial in which it was utilized on a sloped roof over asphalt shingles. The coating provided thermal insulation and energy savings as well as protection against tile degradation by UV rays and weathering. Nansulate® Crystal is a clear, nanotechnology-based coating for use on clay tile roofs, concrete or slate tile roofs and asphalt or wood shingle roofs to provide energy savings through reduction of heat transfer through the roof. Details on the product can be found

Bloom Energy Promises Cheap, Emissions-Free Power From a Small Box | Popular Science - 0 views

  • The Bloom Box idea came from K.R. Sridhar, a former NASA rocket scientist who once built a similar box device to generate oxygen on Mars for future colonists. Sridhar simply turned the concept on its head by pumping oxygen into the box, along with fuel. The oxygen and fuel combine within a new type of fuel cell to create the chemical reaction that makes electricity. There's also no need for power lines coming in from an outside source, and Sridhar envisions the box eventually providing energy wirelessly to homes and businesses. That could do away with traditional power plants and the power grid. Such transformative power may only come about if the Bloom Box fuel cells can work reliably and efficiently -- other fuel cell technologies have proven notoriously finicky. Sridhar makes his fuel cells based on cheap sand-based ceramics, coated with special green and black "inks" that allow for the chemical reaction which makes electricity. One of the simple disks can power a light bulb, and a stack of 64 disks with cheap metal plates in between them can supposedly power a Starbucks. And unlike fuel cells that require pure hydrogen, the Bloom Box can use fuels ranging from natural gas to bio-gas.

    A boxy power plant that could one day produce efficient, inexpensive, clean energy in every home might sound like a pipe dream, but it's the very real product of a Silicon Valley startup called Bloom Energy. Twenty large corporations that include Google, FedEx, Walmart and eBay have already purchased and begun testing the Bloom Boxes. 60 Minutes recently got a sneak peek at this possibly game-changing energy device.
  •  
    Here's SOME of the "rubs". How long will the device's last and what are the maintenance costs (if any)? What will the cost of the fuel be and how much is used? Will the manufacturing process "scale up nicely" (and easily) so that "economies of scale" will actually bring the price of a home-system down to around $3-5K? Will the price of the system, its maintenance, and fuel actually come out to be significantly less than the price of "grid delivered" electricity? Without "good enough" answers to such questions, this system may be more of a good remote generation facility than a grid replacement.

Piezo-rubber creates potential for wearable energy system - 0 views

  •  
    As we continue to carry around items that insist on requiring electricity to work, portable-even wearable-energy-generating systems are looking very attractive. A group of researchers has recently looked into the use of piezoelectric materials, which generate an electric field or potential when placed under mechanical stress. By placing these materials on a rubbery or flexible surface, they created a material that can generate the highest rate of energy conversion reported for similar systems. While these are still far from the market, the metrics of the flexible piezoelectrics so far are very promising.

Nanoengineered batteries could enable the next generation of high-power rechargeable ... - 0 views

  •  
    Batteries for all-electric vehicles must deliver high power densities in addition to high energy densities, Koatkar said. These vehicles today use supercapacitors to perform power-intensive functions, such as starting the vehicle and rapid acceleration, in conjunction with conventional batteries that deliver high energy density for normal cruise driving and other operations. Koratkar said the invention of nanoscoops may enable these two separate systems to be combined into a single, more efficient battery unit.
