The state that built the world’s first grid-level “big battery” is striking out on an even more ambitious green energy project: the world’s biggest hydrogen power station, fed by an electrolysis facility 10 times larger than anything running today.Cont… Continue reading South Australia plans world’s largest electrolyzer and H2 power plant

An international team from the University of Adelaide, Australia, Tianjin and Nankai Universities in China and Kent State University in the US has published new research claiming that a simple, cheap acid layer over the catalyst in an electrolyzer allo… Continue reading Acid coating converts regular electrolyzers to split seawater
Some would argue there’s not nearly enough going on in the wearable vehicle space. Perhaps not many, if anything’s to be gleaned from the echoing silence that greeted this Hungarian wearable belt-o-scooter when it went to Indiegogo for crowdfunding.Con… Continue reading Former Lilium designer debuts “highly athletic” wearable vehicle
The brain is a constant center of electrical activity, and when measured via electroencephalogram (EEG), certain patterns emerge, in the form of regularly oscillating brainwave activity. When you’re feeling calm and relaxed, or even meditative, your br… Continue reading Brain-frequency primer accelerates learning and retention
Transitioning electric VTOL aircraft designs have been everywhere for the last few years, but the majority are either simple lift and cruise designs, with separate horizontal and vertical thrust systems, or vectored-thrust designs that tilt their propu… Continue reading Modular eVTOL prototype shows off swappable pods and ground robot
Explosions get you much more bang from your fuel buck than combustion – if your engine can withstand them. NASA believes the rotating detonation engine could be the future of deep space travel, and it’s getting strong results in prototype testing.Conti… Continue reading NASA’s rotating detonation rocket engine posts record test results
When you burn as much fuel as an airline does, a single-digit fuel efficiency tweak adds up to massive savings. Take the drag-reducing Aeroshark film Swiss Airlines has stuck all over its 12 Boeing 777s – it delivers a 1% efficiency gain, and as a resu… Continue reading Boeing to build braced-wing airliner, shooting for 30% efficiency gain
Iron and steel form the structural backbone of modern life, but they’re responsible for somewhere around 8% of global carbon emissions, making them the single biggest source of industrial greenhouse gases.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceT… Continue reading Profitable retrofit system could slash steelmaking emissions by 94%
Propellers are designed to take a fluid, generally air or water, and use a rotating motion to push that fluid through. They’re evolutions, in a sense, from the Archimedes’ screw, which was likely used in ancient Egypt thousands of years before it was d… Continue reading Toroidal propellers: A noise-killing game changer in air and water
