Scientists at SINTEF have an idea for how to prevent hurricanes from forming or reducing the power of those that do form. The secret? Air bubbles.
Companies in Scandinavia are developing emissions free electric construction equipment, excavators, and medium-duty delivery trucks. Most will be on the market within the year.
Scientists from all across the European Union are working on what could be the next large-scale energy storage option to combine with variable renewable energy technologies to increase their efficiency — air.
Much has been made of the idea that electric cars produce dangerous magnetic fields that can harm human health. But is there any truth to it? Or is it simply trash talk? Well, now, new research from SINTEF is providing an answer to that question — EVs do produce magnetic … [continued]
Storing electricity at the bottom of the ocean? The idea may sound strange at first, but the new concept from the German engineer Rainer Schramm could be very effective — with an efficiency of around 80%, comparable to conventional energy storage systems. The energy storage system makes use of the … [continued]
Metal surfaces may soon have the ability to repair themselves thanks to a newly designed ‘coating’ that is filled with tiny lubricant capsules. A group of researchers from SINTEF and the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU) have spent most of the last two years developing “ground-breaking expertise … [continued]
