How would you like to visit your local nuclear power facility and maybe go for a swim in its indoor pool? Or hang out and look at art … Maybe even just sit with friends and enjoy a cup of coffee in the warm glow of nuclear power?Continue ReadingCateg… Continue reading It’s not a tiny home. It’s actually a nuclear microreactor powerplant
Just a year ago, Fervo Energy successfully demonstrated the effectiveness of its horizontally oriented geothermal system. Now the company has landed a massive contract for providing its clean, virtually endless power to the California grid.Continue Rea… Continue reading Geothermal fracking plant scores world-record energy contract in Utah
The Wärtsilä 31 engine is in the Guinness Book of World Records for being the most efficient 4-stroke marine engine ever made in its class. It also boasts the highest power per cylinder in engines of equivalent bore size. It can be configured in 8 to 1… Continue reading World’s most efficient engine becomes a colossal clean energy generator
A new report has assessed the feasibility of deploying small modular nuclear reactors to meet increasing energy demands around the world. The findings don’t look so good for this particular form of energy production.Continue ReadingCategory: Energy, Sc… Continue reading Small modular nuclear reactors get a reality check in new report
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
The first generation-IV nuclear reactor design has been approved for certification by the US Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC). NuScale’s small modular reactor design promises safe, clean energy at radically reduced cost, land use and installation ti… Continue reading US nuclear regulator greenlights its first small modular reactor
For better or for worse, campers are taking an increasing number of electronic devices into the wilderness. A device known as the Hikerpower was designed with that trend in mind, as it’s a portable power station in backpack form.Continue ReadingCategor… Continue reading Hikerpower loads the voltage onto campers’ backs
