POWER GENERATION FROM FOOTSTEPS. IMAGINE A POPULATED CITY ON THE MARCH…CITY

A NEW TWIST ON POWER WALKING ELECTRICITY GENERATED FROM WALKING ON THESE TILES Can you imagine the power of 50,000 steps a day? Well, Laurence Kembell-Cook, the director of Pavegen Systems imagined it and created Pavegen tiles – a low carbon solution that aims to bring kinetic energy harvesting to the streets. Not surprisingly, the [...]

NEW MATERIAL CONVERTS HEAT DIRECTLY INTO ELECTRICITY

NEW ALLOY CONVERTS HEAT DIRECTLY TO ELECTRICITY The heat given off by electronics, automobile engines, factories and other sources is a potentially huge source of energy, and various technologies are being developed in order to capture that heat, and then convert it into electricity. Thanks to an alloy that was recently developed at the University [...]

POWER NUCLEAR REACTORS COULD USE THORIUM AS A SAFER OPTION

THORIUM FOR NUCLEAR REACTORS AS A SAFER OPTION The world’s growing need for energy, the limits of our supply of fossil fuels and concern about the effects of carbon emissions on the environment have all prompted interest in the increased use of nuclear power. Yet the very word “nuclear” carries with it an association of [...]

ENGLAND TO LOOK AT ITS RECORD OF WASTE PRODUCT AND CONVERSION TO EXTRA ENERGY

Energy from Waste in the UK 19th and 20th September 2011 Currently the UK relies upon and consumes natural resources and non-renewable fuel at  an unsustainable rate. Each year over 80 millions tonnes of waste are produced placing increasing pressure on the environment, at a cost to consumers and businesses alike. As a result Energy from Waste has seen [...]

FLEXIBLE SENSOR GENERATES POWER TO DRIVE BATTERIES

RUBBER SENSOR WHEN FLEXED GENERATES ELECTRICITY Engineers from Princeton University have developed power-generating rubber films that could be used to harness natural body movements such as breathing or walking in order to power electronic devices such as pacemakers or mobile phones. The material, which is composed of ceramic nanoribbons embedded onto silicone rubber sheets, generates [...]

THE POWER OF THE SPOKEN WORD TO GENERATE POWER TO DRIVE YOUR MOBILE PHONE

SPEECH POWERED MOBILE PHONES In the search for alternative energy sources there’s one form of energy you don’t hear much about, which is ironic because I’m referring to sound energy. Sound energy is the energy produced by sound vibrations as they travel through a specific medium. Speakers use electricity to generate sound waves and now [...]

TYPING ON YOUR LAPTOP GENRATES POWER TO DRIVE YOUR COMPUTER

TYPING ON YOUR KEYBOARD TO GENERATE BELECTRICITY Everlasting batteries and self-powered portable electronics have come one step closer to reality, according to the results of new research by Australian scientists from the Royal Melbourne Institute of Technology (RMIT). The researchers successfully measured a piezoelectric thin film’s capacity for turning mechanical pressure into electricity. It may [...]
