Nanosolar is building the biggest manufacture plant with solar energy in the US has a production capacity of 430mW/year. This means 200 millions of solar cells per annum.
The best thing about Nanosolar is that they don’t use silicon for their solar panels, as traditional panels do. Silicon is too expensive and polluting. That is why [...]
Researchers from the Institute of technology in Haifa, Israel, developed a new and exclusive way to generate electricity with solar energy.
These are helium balloons with a solar panel suspended on the top of houses. The same cable holding the balloon will be the cable transmitting electricity to the house.
They calculate that a house would only [...]
According to estimations of the president of the Association of Renewable Energies Companies, Antonio Sá da Costa, the source of wind energy installed for the year 2012 will be of 5,700 mW, produced by waves of 250 mW, while water energy will round 6200 mW for 2015.
Sá da Costa predicts that in 2020, with proper [...]
Galicia continues on giving technology breakthrough surprises. This was the turn for the company Bergondo Telemo Comunicaciones. This society installed in Oleiros the first wireless phone booth in Spain working with solar energy. This new service doesn’t need energy from the network; it’s energetically independent thanks to its photovoltaic plate in the top side receiving [...]
Cuban motorboat “Halcón Solar” (Solar Hawk), energized by photovoltaic panels is a good alternative to link trough a river towns with difficult access, plus it has a chance for ecotourism.
Designed and built by Ecosol Solar, along with Astilleros Almendares, this version of the motorboat with solar energy has a capacity for 6 passengers and a [...]
Alicante met at the International Congress in Obtaining Biomass and Biofuels Production from Algae, which was held on October 31 and 30, researchers and entrepreneurs, recognized internationally, which discussed the feasibility and effectiveness of which is considered a substitute for petroleum: algae.
There are two main conclusions drawn from the two working sessions of this conference. [...]
This was a question posed to the president of Solar IPS, Tony Boniface, in an interview, and this was the answer:
In areas where there is much dust, it is advisable to pass a cloth once in a while, or spray it with a little water. This with the intention that the dust particles do not [...]
With the current energy crisis affecting the planet, every time I hear more people talking about nuclear energy as a viable environmentally friendly alternative. And, why not? It turns out that nuclear energy currently supplies 20% of energy in some countries in the world.
But is nuclear power clean? Is it sustainable? How does the solar [...]
Carlos Aquino, an expert in Renewable Energy in Argentina, believes that “the implementation of renewable energy as an alternative should be promoted, as it represents only 4 percent of the national energy.” He observed actual change of schedule and that if well implemented need not be controversial, but “it should be usual as in other [...]
Seeing the picture below you will maybe say “I would never use those flip flops, they are awful”, true, but they generate enough energy to power your iPod while running, or your cell phone while walking down the street.
How do they work?
Some pipes are connected to a small turbine. With each step you take, the [...]
