Electric Sail Powered By Solar Wind
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Solar wind is a plasma stream which is radiated continuously by the Sun and the changes of their properties cause auroral brightening and magnetic storms. The solar wind helps electric sails to move around which means that these electric sails don’t need any other type of fuel.
The developer of this fuel-free electric sail if Dr. [...]
Solar Panels More Efficient Thanks To Nano-sized “Popcorn Balls”
Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008Scientists are trying to improve the technologies that make renewable energy a possibility. Solar cells are one of the best, but as you know they are not very efficient therefore researchers are looking to improve their current 20 percent efficiency with a part of the remaining 80 percent.
An interesting idea comes from the University of [...]
Giant Parasails To Reduce The Use Of Oil
Monday, April 21st, 2008Here is a very interesting project that eventually will reduce the need of oil with 35 percent on cargo ships. SkySails, a German-based company, has installed a giant parasails on cargo ships which resulted in 20 percent decrease of the use of oil.
This propulsion system is controlled with the help of a computer which means [...]
