The “spin Seebeck effect” is the rearrangement of the electrons according to their spins when one side of a magnetized nickel-iron rod is being heated. This “spin” effect is based on the original Seebeck effect, discovered in the 1800s by Johann Seebeck, which consists in the phenomenon of voltage apparition between two unequally-heated ends of [...]

Researchers from the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) has discovered a new type of iron-based superconductor that shares the same magnetic properties with the older copper-oxide superconductors. The amazing fact is that the new superconductors have all those magnetic properties at higher temperatures.

CSEM, the Swiss Center for Electronics and Microtechnology, has signed a contract with the government of the Emirate of Ras Al-Khaimah (RAK) in the United Arab Emirates (UAE), to develop a prototype of a “Solar Island”. The aim of the project is to validate a concept for the large-scale transformation of solar energy into hydrogen [...]

Enter Adage (Chadds Ford, PA) a new joint venture biomass development company formed by nuclear energy vendor AREVA (Bethesda, MD) and electrical utility giant Duke Energy, N.C).
ADAGE will be focused on enabling green biopower energy solutions for the US electricity market tapping waste organic materials like wood chips.
BioPower via Waste to Energy?

Over the past four years, a thriving market for household solar panels has sprung up in India, with the help of a United Nations programme which assists local banks in offering cheaper loans for the panels.
Since 2003, the $1.5 million programme has helped 16,600 Indians living in the southern state of Karnataka buy solar power [...]

Imagine stepping into a local car dealership in 2020.
Does that new car look familiar by today’s standards? Or has it evolved in shape and style?
What powers that car of the near future in 2020?

Air compression systems can be found in many manufacturing operations. If a leak occurs anywhere in the system, the air pressure drops and production comes to a halt until the source of failure has been found. Sensors constantly monitor the pressure in order to keep costly fault-related losses to a minimum. At present, these sensors [...]

Tahir Cagin, from the Texas A&M University, recently discovered that a specific type of piezoelectric material could convert sound waves into electric current 100 percent more efficient than current devices, when it is manufactured at a very small size - 21 nanometers. A nanometer is a billionth of a meter, reaching the measuring size of [...]

Thermoelectric materials transform the temperature difference into electrical energy, or the electrical energy into heat. To utilize it effectively, the material used is required to have high electrical conductivity and a low thermal one. One interesting application is cooling based on heat, by using electrical current as an intermediate. The earlier article about Vatican explained [...]

Founded in 2007, Renaissance Charge, LLC. began after several years of researching the viability of the superior battery charging technology developed over many years by John Bedini and Energenx, Inc. Our mission is to bring products that incorporate this technology to the marketplace. It is our goal to ensure our customers success, and as such, [...]

Engineers and scientists from the University of Texas at Austin, led by Rod Ruoff, a mechanical engineering professor and physical chemist, have created a one-atom thick layer of carbon, called “graphene”, and they put it to use in electrical storage systems, such as ultracapacitors, a viable way to clean and efficient energy storage.
The researchers believe [...]

Problem - Unneeded Electricity

Nikola Tesla was convinced that he could build power transmission towers to provide free wireless electricity for the entire planet, and he began building a demonstration tower in 1901. Wardenclyffe Tower was intended to transmit communications and power. However, JP Morgan withdrew his funding, and the tower was never completed.
