THE NEVER ENDING PROBLEM OF SLOW CHARGING BATTERIES COULD WELL BE AT AN END SOON Yes there are criticisms of electric vehicles, probably the most commonly-heard is that their batteries take far too long to recharge – after all, limited range wouldn’t be such a big deal if the cars could be juiced up while [...]

The transparent battery: The possibilities are certainly endless.Perhaps invisible phones. July 29, 2011 – 11:28AM Seeing clearly … Stanford’s transparent lithium-ion battery. Photo: LA Times In the category of people making things you didn’t know you need, researchers at Stanford University have just created a thin, flexible, totally transparent lithium-ion battery. It is about the [...]

NUCLEAR MINIATURE BATTERIES DEVELOPED This might sound dangerous, but nuclear batteries have been safely powering devices such as pace-makers, satellites and underwater systems for years. They have an extremely long life and high energy density compared to batteries using chemicals. However, they are costly and also very large and heavy. Now researchers at the University [...]

Breath & air-powered for non-existent batteries Lithium-air batteries are currently in the works, and IBM predicts that batteries “that use the air we breath to react with energy-dense metal” will result in smaller, lighter rechargeable batteries that last ten times longer than today’s lithium-ion types. Whilst such batteries could be used in everything from cars [...]

WORLD BEATING ELECTRIC MOTOR CYCLE Definitely one of the crowd favorites at last week’s Future of Electric Vehicles conference was the presentation by Eva Hakkanson and Bill Dube. The highly-entertaining couple, who design and build electric racing motorcycles out of their home garage, have set some impressive records with their KillaCycle drag bike – it [...]

Vibration &Energy Harvesting: Powering Up the Battery-Free World Oct 31, 2010 23:58 ideyoshi Kume The amount of electricity generated by vibration is proportional to the frequency and amplitude of the vibrator, which means that maximizing both will easily increase output. Because of the way vibration-based generators work, however, fine adjustment is needed to ensure they [...]
