Hamster-Powered Generator? Why Not
We all know horses can emit power hence scientists coined the term “horse power”. Who would ever thought that your pet hamster can generate energy?
Greener Dawn Research Commences Algae Based Biofuel
Greener Dawn Research believes that the planet is at the verge of moving toward a more energy-efficient global economy with much lower levels of polluting emissions. The group recently released their report on algae-based biofuels.
Uses of Wind Turbines
Wind is a powerful source of energy which, for centuries, has been harnessed for different uses. More and more scientists and researchers consider that wind can be used effectively as a clean renewable energy source. But this can only be done when power within the moving air is harnessed properly.
The Wind Energy Industry has grown [...]
Geothermal Energy
Geothermal Energy is created by harnessing heat which flows from within the Earth. The term “geothermal” is derived from the Greek words “geo,” meaning “earth,” and “thermos,” or “heat.”
How does Geothermal Energy Work?
Hot water or steam from within the earth can be used to heat establishments, or to produce electricity. It is one source of renewable energy [...]
Understanding Biodiesel Filters
Biodiesel fuel has been gaining some attention as a worthy alternative to petroleum fuel for some time now. But the actual procedure in processing the biodiesel can be risky as it can considerably damage your engine or any machinery that is associated with the biodiesel usage unless there is proper filtering.
This is the primary role of [...]
Fuel Cells, an Alternative Energy Source to Power our Nation
What are fuel cells?
Fuel cells are electrochemical devices that combine hydrogen and oxygen in order to produce electricity.
During the power generation cycle, water and heat are produced as a by-products. This is a far more ideal byproduct than the unclean emissions which are created by other methods of generating electricity.
Fuel Cells will operate and generate power so long [...]
Solar Ink
Have you ever heard of solar ink? Well, there are some really smart people out there, creating some really smart inventions, and this is one of them.
There is No Energy Shortage on Earth
There is no energy shortage on earth, there is a shortage in technology to harvest the energy available on earth.
To put things in perspective – the sun delivers [...]
What is CSP Solar Energy?
“CSP” stands for “Concentrated Solar Power” and refers to the type of solar power which is created by concentrating sunlight into a small area, thus creating intense light and heat which can in turn create power and electricity. Concentrated Solar Power is one of the technologies which has been developed in order to harness the [...]
Solar Cells
A “solar cell” is a device which changes sunlight into electricity. More technically, a solar cell is also referred to as a “photovoltaic cell.”
The term “photo” derives from the Greek word for “light,” and the term “voltaic” comes from the word “volt” which means “electrical force.” A “cell” is a small receptacle or container containing electrodes [...]
