T-Omega re-thinks floating offshore wind turbines for huge cost savings

All the world’s greatest wind power resources are offshore – often a long way offshore, where the water’s so deep that it’s impractical to build typical fan-on-a-stick wind turbines with bases sunk deep into the sea floor. Floating wind, at this stage,… Continue reading T-Omega re-thinks floating offshore wind turbines for huge cost savings

Zeekr goes to production on 1,000-km electric car using CATL batteries

Geely’s electric brand Zeekr has teamed up with Chinese battery giant CATL on an ultra-long-range version of its Zeekr 001 shooting brake, resulting in a production electric car capable of doing more than 1,000 km (621 miles) on a single charge.Continu… Continue reading Zeekr goes to production on 1,000-km electric car using CATL batteries

Zeva aims for efficiency and practicality with upgraded Z2 eVTOL UFO

Zeva is moving to prototype a second-generation version of its radically different take on eVTOL flight. The Z2 remains a tail-sitting flying saucer that flies a single person head-first at high speeds, but the new model makes some practical changes.Co… Continue reading Zeva aims for efficiency and practicality with upgraded Z2 eVTOL UFO

Puros motorcycle helmet pipes you HEPA-filtered air as you ride

The road is a rich olfactory experience behind the handlebars of a motorcycle. That can be a great thing; the smell of a log fire, or ocean surf, or pine forest can definitely enhance your day. On other occasions, such as overtaking a truck full of she… Continue reading Puros motorcycle helmet pipes you HEPA-filtered air as you ride

CalWave concludes 10-month test of its submerged wave energy generator

CalWave has been working on its xWave clean power technology for many years now, and has announced the successful conclusion of an extended open-ocean test off the coast of San Diego, in which the device demonstrated over 99% system uptime.Continue Rea… Continue reading CalWave concludes 10-month test of its submerged wave energy generator

A deeper dive into World Wide Wind’s colossal, contra-rotating turbines

We interviewed the core team at Norway’s World Wide Wind (WWW) to learn more about its floating, tilting, contra-rotating, double turbine design, which it says can unlock unprecedented scale, power and density to radically lower the cost of offshore wi… Continue reading A deeper dive into World Wide Wind’s colossal, contra-rotating turbines

Aluminum-gallium powder bubbles hydrogen out of dirty water

“We don’t need any energy input, and it bubbles hydrogen like crazy. I’ve never seen anything like it,” said UCSC Professor Scott Oliver, describing a new aluminum-gallium nanoparticle powder that generates H2 when placed in water – even seawater.Conti… Continue reading Aluminum-gallium powder bubbles hydrogen out of dirty water

SkyFly Axe personal eVTOL flies in the sky, as the name suggests

London company SkyFly has opened pre-orders on a two-seat personal eVTOL aircraft called the Axe. Scheduled to begin customer deliveries in 2024, the Axe promises 160-km/h (100-mph) top speeds, up to 320 km (200 miles) of range, and a winged airframe.C… Continue reading SkyFly Axe personal eVTOL flies in the sky, as the name suggests
