Researchers from City University of Hong Kong (CityU) have created a new type of generator that uses rain to create electricity, and it works.
Anyone watching Swedish scientist Anja Lund working out on an aerobic stepper recently might have thought it a strange way to get fit. She was stepping while holding a shoulder bag, its arm strap dripping with water. In this case, exercise was secondary to science. Lund wasn’t attempting to break a sweat — rather, she was trying to simulate a brisk walk in the rain.
We spend a lot of time here on CleanTechnica discussing the many benefits of EVs but there’s one specific benefit that really surprised me – regeneration. At its core, regeneration is utilizing an onboard generator (usually the primary drive motor) to slow the car and convert that power back to … [continued]
Since the days when we humans learned to use fire and developed six simple machines, we have progressed a lot in our ability to harness external sources of energy. In fact, we have defined and redefined its use. But what is energy? Scientists define it as “the ability to do … [continued]
Twelve new “smart-city technologies–based” startups will soon be getting the opportunity to test out their technologies in the real world — at the recently opened High Growth Space:24 in One Canada Square. The initiative has been dubbed “the Cognicity Challenge.” The Cognicity Challenge — put together by the Canary Wharf Group — is launching at … [continued]
Imagine floors that convert the energy of walking people into electricity. Electricity from pedestrian power plus a bit from solar panels. This is all more than imagination thanks to Spanish startup OTEM2000 and Energy Floors. The companies are expanding to produce these hybrid energy floors. An ample range of flooring products will be … [continued]
Don’t be surprised if that thing you stepped on sparks a charge: kinetic energy is popping up everywhere from soccer fields to college campuses.
Kinetic energy is a renewable energy resource we don’t give much attention to. Very simply, it is the energy of motion. Capturing this energy and using it to create electricity is possible, and it is done routinely in certain systems. However, for the most part, it is too inefficient of a process to … [continued]
Harness the energy of laughter, curiosity, and play, and you have caught up to the power of wind and sun. Who hasn’t heard it said, “If only I had their energy,” studying a group of children spontaneously capturing the essence of the day. Yes, children are kinetically buzzing spirits, naturally sending out spiraling cords … [continued]
