If we pursue the road towards the full electric car, we must find ourselves the energy storage that can bear at least the power of gasoline. As far as today, batteries, supercapacitors and hydrogen have been the ways to follow for powering an electric car. Of the three, the supercapacitors have a great advantage: they [...]

Solio has made a gadget that can power your small handheld devices, such as your PDA, cellphone, or your GPS when you travel. It’s made from three solar batteries backed up by a rechargeable battery.

Would you like going on your nearest river or sea or ocean in a summer day? Would you like cruising all day powered only by a solar battery? Well, for 10,500$ you could. Hammacher Schlemmer has built a small solar powered boat for two person.

The US Airforce is said to have invented a battery lasting 30 years(!). It is made from some very weak radioactive material (it’s still enough to power a laptop) for that time. The news has been spread by www.nextenergynews.com and I don’t know if to believe it or not. It has not yet been published [...]

QuantumSphere Inc. says it has perfected the manufacture of highly reactive catalytic nanoparticle coatings that could up the efficiency of electrolysis, the technique that generates hydrogen from water. Moreover, the coatings could also eliminate the need for expensive metals like platinum in hydrogen fuel cells.

In times of war electricity is very important as it helps you transmit data and information from and to the combat units. But a very heavy battery which has as well a large volume isn’t the best solution if you need to stay alert all the time and move a lot. But what if all [...]
