Sage Geosystems has pioneered a new form of cheap energy storage that uses the Earth as a giant bellows, pumping water into underground fractures, then letting it squirt back up at 70% efficiency – or 200% efficiency if you also harvest heat energy.Con… Continue reading Huff ‘n’ puff geothermal fracking: Earth batteries at 200% efficiency
We haven’t seen a floating offshore wind turbine like this before. Touchwind claims its innovative single-blade turbines will solve several problems to drive down cost and downtime, using a single, huge blade with no fancy active pitch controls.Continu… Continue reading Single-bladed floating wind turbine promises half the cost, more power
Bill Gates-backed startup Antora Energy is preparing to roll out a containerized, modular heat battery, designed to store renewable energy at the lowest possible cost – then release it efficiently as electricity or industrial process heat.Continue Read… Continue reading Ultra-hot carbon batteries promise super-cheap heat and energy storage
It probably goes without saying that solar panels need to be pointed at the sun for optimal performance. The tricky bit is that the sun has a funny habit of …read more Continue reading 2023 Hackaday Prize: A Reinvented Solar Tracker
A new wind turbine installed in the Taiwan Strait went online last week, as part of the Fujian offshore wind farm project by the China Three Gorges Corporation (CTG). The …read more Continue reading This Month’s World’s Largest Wind Turbine Goes Operational
Three Gorges Energy has connected the world’s first 16-megawatt monster offshore wind turbine to the power grid. With a mind-boggling 260-meter (853-ft) rotor diameter, this towering colossus will supply clean energy for about 36,000 Chinese homes.
