There’s a lot of fluff out there regarding “futuristic” wind turbines. (See here, here, here, here, and here for example.) The thing is, when it comes to financial competitiveness, nothing seems to come close to the three-blade, horizontal-axis wind turbine design that dominates the market. That said, the design of … [continued]
Originally published on Ecopreneurist. For those of us who live in areas with hard water, dealing with the effects of mineral deposits in our bathrooms, kitchens, and water heaters can be not only a total pain in the you-know-what, but can also be an expensive endeavor. Conventional water softeners tend … [continued]
Magnetic materials are set to play a big role in a more energy efficient future for the information technology sector. Last month the U.S. Department of Energy announced $47 million in grants for new IT energy efficiency projects, and a big chunk of that – $2.8 million – will go … [continued]
A wind turbine efficiency breakthrough by Dr Markus Mueller and Dr Alasdair McDonald of the University of Edinburgh’s Institute for Energy Systems has the potential to revolutionize the wind energy industry by making large turbines more failure-proof by cutting their weight in half.
