Beacon Power Corporation recently start construction of the world’s first 20MW flywheel energy storage plant in Stephentown, New York after it received a $43 million loan guarantee from U.S. Department of Energy. According to the company, their flywheel electricity storage systems will provide efficient, frequency regulation services to help maintain and improve stability of the [...]

Terra-Gen Power LLC, a company specialized in renewable energy, has recently inaugurated the place where will be built the world’s largest wind power site. It will be located in central California and the project will generate about 1,550 megawatts of wind power. With the support of investment group ArcLight Capital, Terra-Gen hopes this wind farm, [...]

A group of MIT scientists headed by Professor of materials science and engineering Yoel Fink, have developed a new multifunctional material that carries both electricity and light. The fibers could be used to create biomedical devices, smart textiles that monitor the body or structural sensors that are able to detect even the smallest stresses on [...]

Companies around the world are trying to find solutions to make electric vehicles attractive but so far there hasn’t been a charging speed war among those. It seems that the competition already starts because one of the biggest companies in Japan called JFE Engineering now claims it has developed a quick charger that apparently needs [...]

According to scientists, traditional solar panels are able catch just about 15% of the sun’s rays. But now, a company that focuses on the production and development of high efficiency thin film photovoltaics, called RoseStreet Labs Energy Inc. (RSLE), founded a new way to increase that efficiency using mirrors and even the shaping them like [...]

Glenn Old, an Australian inventor, has recently developed a new interesting device that is able to convert water into fuel. He has been working with a group of American engineers to design the device that can reduce greenhouse gas emissions and save fuel. Called the HHO generator, the device generates enough hydrogen reduce carbon emissions [...]

Mobile network providers are trying their level best to connect even the most remote locations on the planet with the rest of the world. However, in places like rural Africa nine out of ten people don’t have access to electricity, which means that they’ve to get their cellphones charged in villages that either have access [...]

FTL Solar has created a lightweight tensile fabric with integrated thin film solar panels that is capable of shading your deck while powering your home. Originally designed as easily deployable canopies for military applications, FTL’s solar products are now available now for solar parking lot shades, rooftop building installations, and small and large solar tent [...]

Scientists at the Kyoto Institute of Technologybhave developed a new solar cell, capable of producing energy from ultraviolet, infrared and visible light. The research team lead by associate professor Saki Sonoda, hopes that this new cell will lead to the development of highly efficient photovoltaic cells that can be single-junction rather than the more conventional [...]

Luxgen, a Taiwanese company, has unveiled at the Dubai International Auto Show a new all-electric MPV that according to the company, it will the world’s first all-electric 7-passenger MPV.
