Sonnenrepublik: Photovoltaic System in Solar Golf Cart

Video interview with Sonnenrepublik at Energy Harvesting & Storage Europe.

First superconducting graphene created

Physicists have been able to create the first ever superconducting graphene sample by coating it with lithium atoms.

CENEX LCV Event: 48V Systems, Energy Storage, SR Motors

Another major focus was 48V systems some in EVs but mainly for microhybrid (stop-start) and mild hybrid (torque assist) for managing the now huge amounts of energy in and out with new forms of harvesting and tougher duty cycles and also more power-hungry accessories. That has resulted in a large number of redesigned and new accessories in anticipation of new standards.

Exotic new sources of free electricity: $50 billion market

High Power Energy Harvesting (HPEH) is a term beginning to be used for creation of electricity where it is needed using ambient "free" energy. That zero-pollution, high-energy conversion typically captures light (photovoltaics), heat difference (thermoelectrics and heat pumps) and movement (electrodynamics).
