Here in the West, power going out is an unusual event. But in more remote regions like the Himalayas, reliable electricity isn’t a given. A group of local craftspeople, researchers, …read more Continue reading Open Source Waterwheel
Collecting energy from various small mechanical processes has always been something that’s been technically possible, but never done on a large scale due to issues with cost and scalability. It’s …read more Continue reading Harvesting Mechanical Energy from Falling Rain
With a slogan like “The Future is Ecclectic,” we’d expect some interesting things from INNengine, a startup based in Spain. The company is showcasing a “one-stroke” engine that works as an opposed piston with a wavy twist.Continue ReadingCategory: Auto… Continue reading INNengine “one-stroke” waves away conventional engine design
A thermoelectric generator (TEG) can turn a temperature difference into electricity, and while temperature differentials abound in our environment, it’s been difficult to harness them into generate practical and stable …read more Continue reading Passively Generating Power Day and Night Takes The Right Parts
Although many groups are developing power-generating “smart fabrics,” the technology is often too complex to be scaled up to commercial use. Now, however, scientists have devised a simple method of embroidering electrical generators onto regular fabric… Continue reading Embroidered patches allow existing fabrics to generate electricity
With an ability to turn friction into small amounts of electricity, triboelectric generators may one day be used in clothes that turn movement into power, in battery-free brain implants, and a host of other scenarios. Scientists working on cheap and ea… Continue reading Simpler, cheaper electrical generator can be made with store-bought tape
Harvesting energy from the wind has been a commercially viable way of generating clean energy for around three decades now. Wind turbines are a reliable, proven technology but they do …read more Continue reading Go Fly a Kite
While desktop 3D printing is an incredible technology, it’s got some pretty clear limitations. Plastic parts can be produced quickly in a 3D printer but can be more expensive or …read more Continue reading Printed Axial Generator is Turned By Hand
Running on a treadmill is a great way to workout, but what if the effort you put in could be put to use? This treadmill generator from [Amitabh Shrivastava] does …read more Continue reading Hackaday Prize 2022: Treadmill Becomes Human-Powered Generator
I’ve blogged a bit…okay, a LOT…over the years on the topic of parsing LNK files, but a subject I really haven’t touched on is LNK builders or generators. This is actually an interesting topic because it ties into the cybercrime economy quite nicely… Continue reading LNK Builders
