Companies join forces to standardize charging infrastructure
Saturday, March 20th, 2010One of the criticisms often levied at the drive to get electrically-powered vehicles from the fringe into the mainstream is the current lack of a network of charging stations.
Four car manufacturing giants have teamed up with a utility service provider to tackle this problem head on. The newly formed CHAdeMO Association [...]
Momentum Reel push mower stores energy for a burst of extra cutting power
Thursday, March 18th, 2010“Green” mowers like the human-powered Mow Cycle are great for keeping that well manicured lawn along with a clear conscience.
But there’s always the chance of running into a patch of particularly thick grass that makes push mowers that little bit less attractive. The Momentum Reel Mower tackles this shortcoming in an [...]
Generating hydrogen fuel from waste energy
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010We recently looked at a breakthrough in using sunlight to create hydrogen but now scientists have found a way to use ambient noise to turn water into usable hydrogen fuel. The process harvests small amounts of otherwise-wasted energy such as noise or stray vibrations from the environment to break the chemical [...]
NoMix toilets make a splash in European study
Wednesday, March 17th, 2010If you’ve ever considered the humble urinal, you might have noticed that it uses much less water than a toilet. It only makes sense – since they don’t receive any feces, urinals don’t need all the water necessary to carry such solid waste through to the sewer line. When you use [...]
Breakthrough in quest for solar hydrogen production
Tuesday, March 16th, 2010Scientists at Emory University, Atlanta, Georgia, have built on feats of Mother Nature to develop the most potent homogeneous catalyst known for water oxidation, which they hope will lead to producing clean hydrogen fuel using only water and sunlight. Could cars of the future be powered by just water and a [...]
