In the future, bicycles will be foldable, and walk without assistance from humans, and generate its own energy. These are the ideas behind the winning design of the first since Larry Chen for the 12th annual International Bicycle Design Competition. Called Sunny Day, this bike has solar panels integrated into the design that help to [...]
The Queensland University of Technology recently announced that it has been working with Dyesol to develop an innovative solar cell technology to re-display the windows as providers of clean energy. Professor John Bell said that these cells impregnated dye significantly reduce the cost of energy in buildings, and even could generate extra energy to be [...]
A team of academics based at the University of Washington has announced an exciting breakthrough in technology for dye sensitized solar cell. Researchers who study the configurations of the solar cells discovered that using a design based on popcorn (small areas grouped into larger porous spheres), the economic efficiency of solar cells was more than [...]
From the moment that the earth was formed, it is the solar energy, and since the 7th century BC, when glass is used to magnify its potential, human beings have tried to capture it. Today, the technology takes more to generate electricity, heating, lighting, etc … but the point is the same, using the sun [...]
KOBE, the first cargo ship to use solar energy to help with the devices related to the engine to operate. The ceremony for Auriga Leader, a company created jointly by Nippon Yusen KK and Nippon Oil Corp, in an effort to reduce carbon dioxide emissions through the use of solar energy, was held at the [...]
The asphalt is a better solar collector than the same solar panels. This quality is what a group of scientists at the Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) have been researching. They believe that the roads could be used as if they were batteries or solar panels to produce energy from the sun. The advantage is that [...]
The collection of solar energy is produced in the atmosphere, oceans and plants on Earth. The interactions of the sun’s energy, oceans and atmosphere, for example, produce winds, used for centuries to move mills. The existing wind power systems using propellers produce electricity for local use or for specialized feeding the power grid of a [...]
China Technology Development Group Corporation has signed an initial contract with the local government of Qinghai Haixi Mongolian-Tibetan Autonomous Region for the construction and operation of a 30MW on-grid solar power plant at a cost of US$150 million. Construction is expected to start sometime in 2009 and has a targeted capacity of 1GW, according to [...]
