Japan, a revolutionary new technology, Magnesium Energy Cycle could one day free society from dependence on fossil fuels. The demonstration conducted by Tokyo Institute of Technology Professor Takashi Yabe uses water and the common metallic element Magnesium to create pollution-free power. Solar-powered lasers are used to renew the magnesium fuel with the only waste product being oxygen. Professor Yabe’s team at TIT has been steadily testing the technology for several years now, and the...

Scientists Develop Solar-Powered Wind Turbine

Why settle for one form of renewable energy when you can produce power with two? That’s exactly what scientists from the University of Liverpool have done by upgrading an everyday wind turbine with a new set of spinning solar blades. The team, led by Dr. Joe King, came up with the innovative solution to stymie critics who say wind turbines are “only useful when the wind is blowing” — their design doubles the functionality...

Off The Grid With Solar Cells And Hydrogen Storage Tanks

August 18, 2011
By
Mike Strizki says he's figured out how to store solar energy in a way that could provide the world with an infinite source of year-round, emissions-free power, but also says no one is listening to him.  His solar panels generate enough power for him to live off the grid year-round at his house in Hopewell, NJ.

At his house in the woods of western New Jersey, the civil engineer Mike Strizki uses fuel cells to convert the power generated by about 150 solar panels so that it can be stored in 11 hydrogen tanks about 100 yards from the house. For eight or nine months of the year, the photovoltaic cells mounted on Strizki’s workshop roof and scattered around his yard generate more than enough electricity for a full range...

HyperSolar Comes To The USA

July 11, 2011
By
HyperSolar magnifying film can increase solar panel efficiency by up to 300%, making solar competitive with fossil fuels.

As the U.S. government continues to heap billions in subsidies to the world’s wealthiest coal and oil companies, the solar industry has been struggling to make it in the United States. This is sad for many reasons, not the least of which is that we’re missing out on one of the biggest growth industries in the world. Currently there are 16 gigawatts of installed solar power globally. That number will grow to about 1,800...

Nevada could soon be home to the tallest molten salt tower in the world, and it doesn’t want to hear any jokes about possible Vegas-Sodom-Gomorrah-Lot’s wife connections. This is all about energy: clean solar power and cutting-edge energy storage. The Crescent Dunes Solar Energy Project is on its way to moving forward now that the US Department of Energy (DOE) has offered a conditional commitment for a $737 million load guarantee for the proposed...
