Japan Goes For Orbital Solar Power

April 30, 2014 | 1 Comment

Scientists at the Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency (JAXA) have a plan underway for a 1-gigawatt space-based solar power generator within just 25 years. JAXA is working directly on the main problems. Orbital solar power’s main problem is once the energy is harvested all the huge reservoir of energy is still out there in space. Early […]

Metamaterials Harvest Microwaves for Electricity

November 12, 2013 | 1 Comment

Scientists at Duke University’s Pratt School of Engineering have designed a power-harvesting device with efficiency similar to that of very best solar panels using inexpensive materials configured and tuned to capture microwave signals. For now the device wirelessly converts the microwave signal to direct current voltage capable of recharging a cell phone battery or other […]
