The Newest Most Versatile Fuel Cell System Runs on Diesel
October 15, 2010 | 11 Comments
Using biodiesel as well as regular diesel in a fuel cell is for many an incredible idea. The Research Council of Norway’s RENERGI program Technical Director Dag Øvrebø is developing a new type of electric power supply unit with core components of a smart diesel reformer and a tolerant fuel cell. The system is environmentally […]

New Materials For Low Cost Solar Cells
October 14, 2010 | 2 Comments
Just this Monday past we saw that North Carolina State researchers had zeroed in on just what is holding up the exciton in a polymer photovoltaic solar cell. Then as if by serendipity Rutgers let loose their announcement they have found a new material. Rutgers physicists have discovered new properties in a material that could […]

Biodiesel Might Make a Worthwhile Contribution
October 12, 2010 | 9 Comments
According to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory, a branch of the Department of Energy, biodiesel “represents a significant energy resource and could someday supply 3 percent to 5 percent of the distillate fuel market.” That assertion requires a lot more technology for getting from raw materials to fuel products. Brown University assistant professor of chemistry […]

The Low Cost Solar Cell Could Get Much Better
October 11, 2010 | 6 Comments
A team of researchers from North Carolina State University and the U.K. has found that the low rate of energy conversion in all-polymer photovoltaic solar-cell technology is caused by the structure of the solar cells themselves. Dr. Harald Ade, professor of physics at NCSU explains, “Solar cells have to be simultaneously thick enough to absorb […]
