Wind Energy Battery Recharger

A team of Korean designers invented a wind energy battery recharger, 100% renewable.
The invention is called FEBOT and the bottom is kind of a rubber sucker, so you can stick it to almost any plane surface. In theory you can stick it on the outside of your window in order to charge your batteries.
At the [...]

Boat Moved by Waves in Japan

We already told you about a wave powered boat.
Its inventor Ken-ichi Hoire, using the boat, has completed a journey that took off in Japan and ended up in Hawaii, covering a distance of approximately 7,000 km. It took him nearly 4 months at an average speed of 1.5 knots to achieve it.
The Suntory Mermaid II [...]

Laser Sensors that Increase Solar Turbines Efficiency

A new laser fiber can both reduce wear and increase efficiency of wind turbines using a sensor that can detect wind one kilometer away. The product is called Catch The Wind, and it is a device that allows the turbine to adjust the strength and direction of the wind before it reaches the turbine.
Wind turbines [...]

Energy revolution, a perspective of sustainable energy in Mexico. This is the name of the report submitted by CIEC (Ecosystems Research Center) written by Omar Masera Cerruti, where he commented on the support required from the government on renewable energy and solar energy to be at a disadvantage against non-fossil fuels.
He called to make decisions [...]

EU Countries Are Obliged To Notify Brussels Investments In Energy Infrastructure To Identify Gaps

The countries of the European Union must notify Brussels their investments in energy infrastructure in the sector of oil, gas or electricity, including from renewable sources, in order to identify potential hotspots while on the network and correct and prevent supply interruption risk, according to the rule adopted today by the Energy Ministers of the [...]

EU Approves Plan To Boost Production Of “Green” Energy

The European energy ministers on Thursday approved a strategic plan for the European Union (EU) to promote the development of energy technologies with low emission of carbon dioxide. The project, designed by the European Commission (EC), also seeks to reduce dependence on the Commonwealth on imports of fossil fuels.
Also provides for investments in the sectors [...]

The Vista Energy Group Announces Formation Of Their Solar And Renewable Energy Practice

The Vista Energy Group (Vista) announced the formation of his practice on renewable energy and solar energy. Vista has long worked on the commitments that focus on renewable energy and has expanded its network to include a nationally recognized expert in solar energy, his team of consultants. Mr. Celentano has been at the forefront of [...]

Piezoelectric Effect

The piezoelectric effect is an effect in which energy is converted from mechanical to electrical. It was discovered in 1880 by the brothers Curie. Specifically, when a pressure (piezo means pressure in Greek) is applied on a polarized glass, mechanical deformation results in an electrical charge.
Piezoelectric microphones are a good example of this phenomenon. Alternatively, [...]

Biofuels from Algae. A Promising And Near Future

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. [...]
