Alternative Energy Storage

Alternative energies such as solar energy and wind energy are taking part in the whole world. Its technology is progressing day by day. But certainly, until they solve the problem of storage, the ascent to the summit of “Mount Sustainability” as some call it, will remain slippery.
Take the example of electric cars. As the visionary [...]

Nano-Painting that Generates Electricity

Even though it may sound too good to be true, this technology is a reality. The company “Industrial Nanotech” revealed its thermal nano-painting, if it is applied correctly inside the structures of its walls, this painting will produce electricity.
The thin layer of painting will use the temperature difference between the interior and the exterior of [...]

Solar Energy ETFs

Solar Energy ETFs are still very new in the financial markets; that is why experts recommend buying individual stock instead of ETFs.
Due to the high process of oil, people are starting to get interested en renewable energy stock, especially in solar energy ETFs. Even though, the analysts have found that solar energy companies are very [...]

Casas Geo Installs Solar Panels in Mexico

It is not usual to find renewable energy news coming from Mexico. One of the biggest Mexican construction companies, Casas Geo, is introducing a new scheme to build green houses and cities. The project includes more gardens and electrically efficient houses. (See above).
“Today he have solar panels to heat water but our plans include to [...]

Solar Energy: A Solution To The Crisis

The town of Suarez, about 40 kilometers from Montevideo, has used solar energy to extend network lighting.
It is not the traditional place of the typical Uruguayan people. It is a place that was “modernized”, looking for solar energy efficiency and reduces electric costs.
If the project works, it could serve as a model for other cities [...]

Hydrogen Fuel Produced with Eggshell

Never underestimate the power of eggs.
Engineers form Ohio State developed an innovative process in which they extract carbon dioxide from a reactor generating fuel hydrogen using eggshells. As an addition during this reaction collagen may be extracted, and it is a very useful protein for medicines and medical treatments.
“The key for creating pure hydrogen is [...]

71 Wind Energy Turbines To Be Constructed in Scotland

Scotland enters the world of renewable energies with the construction of two wind energy plants, one in Dumfires the other in Galloway. Scottish government approved a proyect form Scottish Power to build 71 wind energy turbines.
The project will cost 406.2 million de dollars, and as soon as it is operating it will generate 213 mW [...]

Different Types of Solar Energy

Photovoltaic solar energy: the energy of the future. In this type of energy, solar energy is converted into electricity without moving parts, without cycles and without chemical reactions. This power generation is virtually unlimited in duration, requires no maintenance, and produces no pollution and no noise.
Solar thermal power: this type of solar energy uses the [...]

Underground Storage for Wind Energy

A coalition of energy producers from Iowa (US) developed a project to store wind energy underground, so if the demand is less they will storage the exceeding wind into the ground under pressure, and it will get pulled out to generate energy when needed.
The first complex won’t be ready until the first half of 2011, [...]

Requirements For Installing A Solar Energy Water Heater

The proper functioning of the solar heater through time depends on a perfect performance in the installation and use of appropriate materials. As for materials, you should require those who are of the highest quality and lasting in time.
The main factors affecting the plant materials are: oxidation, corrosion, or ultraviolet rays.
Oxidation is a phenomenon where [...]
