Donald Sadoway: The missing link to renewable energy | Video on TED.com - 0 views

  • Donald Sadoway: The missing link to renewable energy
  • What's the key to using alternative energy, like solar and wind? Storage -- so we can have power on tap even when the sun's not out and the wind's not blowing. In this accessible, inspiring talk, Donald Sadoway takes to the blackboard to show us the future of large-scale batteries that store renewable energy. As he says: "We need to think about the problem differently. We need to think big. We need to think cheap." Donald S

This technology seems to me to be much more beneficial on a local scale, what if every home had its own battery, then home power generation becomes economically more viable for everyone. If you could show that a system like this could pay for itself in say 5 years then every home would want one. Plus for this to be implemented on a large scale requires massive investment that could be decades away. Share the technology and lets get it in homes by next year. Great ted talk. Jon Senior 0 Reply 1 hour ago: I agree 100%. Localised energy production would also make energy consumers more conscious of their consumption and encourage efforts to reduce it. We can invent and invent all we want, but the fast solution to allowing renewable energies to take centre stage is to reduce the base energy draw. With lower baseline consumption, smaller "always on" generators are required to keep the grid operational. Town and house-l

Australia regulator targets iron ore in BHPB-Rio bid - 0 views

  •  
    Australia`s competition regulator on Friday identified iron-ore as a potential major concern in evaluating mining giant BHP Billiton`s US$128 billion bid for rival Rio Tinto and said it would make a final ruling on the hostile takeover by October 1. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC) devoted most of its nine-page "statement of issues" to the proposed deal`s likely impact on the iron ore trade and, in particular, on Australian steel-makers. Rio Tinto and BHPB are the world`s second and third largest iron-ore producers, respectively, behind Brazil`s Vale. But the ACCC saw no major competition issues surrounding trade in copper, gold, uranium, bauxite and alumina.

Striving for Super Efficiency - Air Conditioning, Heating & Refrigeration NEWS - 0 views

  •  
    Long ago, the industry determined that the combination of copper tubing and aluminum fins provided the most efficient transfer of thermal heat in condenser coils. Manufacturers of residential units are not necessarily on that same page - or that line of thinking - today. Most manufacturers, if not all, are revising, have revised, or continue to revise their outdoor coil construction. One of the main objectives, of course, is to increase heat transfer efficiency, as energy efficiency is high on every homeowner's wish list. In the end, each manufacturer believes it has engineered and/or perfected - at least up to now - the most-efficient coil design. Some, like Goodman Manufacturing, have made changes as a direct result of the efficiency offered from R-410A refrigerant.

Boeing Dreamliner 787 and Lithium-ion Batteries - 0 views

  • Boeing Dreamliner 787, an aircraft that was considered as a preferred choice for civil aviation almost a week back. But, the recent fire in this Dreamliner series has sparked many questions on the process of assembling and constructing an aircraft through advanced technology. Nearly 50 Boeing 787 Dreamliner aircraft are in operation across the World, the recent fire has raised lot of speculation and doubts on the performance of lithium-ion batteries in automotive and industrial applications. This incident has opened a new page in the lithium-ion battery space, to rethink about the safety of this battery when used in higher capacities of KW and MW scale.

Peak planet: Are we starting to consume less? - 0 views

  • Over the years, many attempts have been made to estimate Earth's "carrying capacity" - that is, how many humans the planet can take, and consuming at what level. The conclusions as to a sustainable population level have varied wildly, from Ehrlich's 1968 estimate of 1.5 billion to tens of billions. This year, the UK's Royal Society tried its hand. In a report entitled People and the Planet, it concluded that there is no one right answer: it all depends on technology. And it is here, in the third of Ehrlich's metrics, that there might be a glimmer of hope for peak stuff.

Relative material cost: How it affects the solar energy market - 1 views

  • In order to cope with the rising prices and reduce future costs, solar technology manufacturers and PV system developers have been looking for ways to limit the use of copper in projects. Since PV inverters typically account for 9% of PV system costs and most require a significant amount of copper cables, it is a logical first place to start when trying to engineer a solution. Inverter design and technologies In order to cope with the rising costs many inverter manufacturers are looking at designs that limit the amount of copper used throughout a PV system, which in turn can help to drive down balance of system (BOS) costs for their customers.

    Copper represents less than 1% of the cost of a PV system installed. Is it really a cost-saving target?

Sea Bed Mining Summit - The Mineral Bonanza - 0 views

  • In 1959, John L. Mero of the Institute of Marine Resources at Berkeley published a 96-page document entitled “A Preliminary Report on the Economics of Mining and Processing Deep-sea Manganese Nodules”. In this landmark study, he discussed the geological and economic aspects of mining the seabed for polymetallicnodules found often partly or completely buried in seabed sediment. In the 19 years between 1965 and 1984, it is estimated that as much as $650 million was pumped into deep sea mining space. Unfortunately, vaulting ambition was not met by technological prowess and most of this investment had sunk without a trace within the space of two decades.

EU EUR 1 Billion Graphene Flagship - 0 views

  • Graphene Flagship – the EU's biggest research initiative ever, and, according to the European Commission, 'history's greatest distinction for excellent research'– is closely linked to the Graphene Centre at Chalmers. With a budget of EUR one billion, the Graphene Flagship is tasked with taking graphene from the realm of academic laboratories into European society in the space of ten years – thus generating economic growth, new jobs and new opportunities for Europeans as both investors and employees. There are already 126 research groups from universities, research institutes and companies on-board the flagship.
