Solar power is already cheap and effective, and it’s taking on a larger role in supplying energy needs all over the world. The thing about humanity, though, is that we …read more Continue reading Stacking Solar Cells Is A Neat Trick To Maximise Efficiency
Installing solar power at a home is a great way to reduce electricity bills, especially as the cost of solar panels and their associated electronics continue to plummet. Not every …read more Continue reading A Smarter Solar Water Heater
Solar cell efficiency may get a bump from bumps. New research suggests that building tiny domes into the surface of organic solar cells could boost their efficiency by up to two-thirds, while capturing light from a wider angle.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Bumpy solar cells could harvest up to 66% more energy
Hyundai has developed a new active aerodynamics system for electric vehicles, in the form of “active air skirts” ahead of the front wheels that can increase downforce and stability, while reducing drag and improving highway range.Continue ReadingCatego… Continue reading Hyundai’s “Active Air Skirts” reduce highway drag by 2.8%
It feels like it doesn’t matter where you go, health systems are struggling. In the US, just about any procedure is super expensive. In the UK and Australia, waiting lists …read more Continue reading British Hospital Blasts Through Waiting Lists By Slashing Surgeon Downtime
Continental has unveiled a new concept tire at the IAA Mobility show in Hanover, Germany. Called the Conti CityPlus, it takes an unusual approach to “tire efficiency,” focusing on urban use rather than highway driving.Continue ReadingCategory: Automoti… Continue reading Continental takes unusual approach with the Conti CityPlus concept tire
The Orbit Drive promises an ebike transmission, built into the motor housing, that lasts for thousands of miles without maintenance, boosts efficiency and range, allows regenerative braking, and comes out lighter than most ebike drive systems.Continue … Continue reading Continuously variable ebike transmission promises up to 20% more range
Weaning the world off fossil fuels will take some time, so finding ways to make energy generation more efficient is still important. Scientists at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign have developed a new coating for steam condenser pipes that, … Continue reading Power plant condenser coating could cut 460 million tons of CO2 per year
Seeing airplanes fly in formation is an exciting experience at something like an air show, where demonstrations of a pilot’s skill and aircraft technology are on full display. But there …read more Continue reading Formation Flying Does More Than Look Good
Perovskite is quickly gaining on silicon in the solar cell field, but it has one major drawback – durability. Now, a new treatment has been shown to keep perovskite solar cells working at 99% of their efficiency after 1,000 hours of use.Continue Readin… Continue reading New coating covers perovskite solar cells’ last Achilles heel
