Wind energy to power ferry lighting

The Stena Line passenger ferry, Jutlandica, crossing from Frederikshavn in Denmark to Gothenburg in Sweden is being equipped with two wind turbines at the prow as part of the company's Energy Saving Programme.

Cyanobacterial genes that capture the sun's energy

A new computer model of blue-green algae can predict which of the organism's genes are central to capturing energy from sunlight and other critical processes.

Fuel cells rescued by batteries

Fuel cells were originally considered to be replacements for internal combustion engines used in traditional vehicles and replacements for traction batteries used in pure electric vehicles. Unfortunately, they have proved woefully incapable of efficiently and economically supporting the frequent load changes of vehicle traction. Many of them had a troublesome start up time and problems of life and reliability as well. Thus building ever larger fuel cells was pursued from about 1991 to 2001 but it ended in tears.

WiTricity and IHI to develop wireless charging system for EVs

IHI Corporation and WiTricity Corporation of Watertown, MA have agreed to collaborate on the development of wireless charging systems for electric vehicles.

Fully automatic backside contacting for thinfilm photovoltaics

Novaled develops long-life power-efficient white PIN OLEDs

Novaled, a leading technology and materials provider specializing in high-efficiency, long-lifetime organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) for display and lighting applications, announced it has developed a highly power-efficient white OLED structure achieving 60 lm/W at a brightness of 1,000 cd/m2 capable of reaching a very long lifetime of 100,000 hours at an initial brightness of 1,000 cd/m2 while using commercially available fluorescent blue emitting material.

New way to store energy from the sun

One of the great advantages of the new approach to harnessing solar energy, Grossman says, is that it simplifies the process by combining energy harvesting and storage into a single step.

Loudspeakers in your window

Korean scientists have used graphene sheets to make a transparent and lightweight loudspeaker which, they say, can be attached to windows and computer screens

Researchers develop unique graphene quantum dots for PV applications

Scientists from the National Physical Laboratory in New Delhi, India developed graphene based quantum dots (GQDs) blended with organic polymers. The new GQDs do not use any toxic metals such cadmium and lead used in today's quantum dots. The new devices actually perform better - less current loss and improved efficiency.

Development of affordable fuel cell vehicle concept

ACAL Energy announce recently they are partnering with automotive design experts Gordon Murray Design in a 12-month project to design a very low cost, durable fuel cell vehicle utilizing their innovative fuel cell technology. The 12-month project is funded by the Technology Strategy Board under its Low Carbon Vehicle programme.
