Engineers at MIT have discovered a whole new method of generating electricity.
A revolutionary material based on carbon nanotubes can create power by absorbing energy from its surroundings. MIT engineers have developed a new approach of producing energy using microscopic carbon particles that may generate a current just by contact with the liquid in their area. According to the researchers, the liquid, an organic solvent, sucks electrons out of the particles, providing a current that may be used to drive chemical processes or power micro- or nanoscale robots.....(Read More) |
The Wind Catcher will change the Wind Energy Industry
Using 126 tiny rotors on a 1,000-foot-high (324-meter) structure, the floating Windcatcher can generate enough power for 80,000 households, according to Wind Catching’s website. The company claims that 5 Windcatcher units can create the same amount of electricity as 25 conventional wind turbines for a fraction of the cost of those 25 traditional turbines. To put it another way: The system’s ...(Read More) |
