New Jersey adding 80 megawatts of solar power, one pole at a time

New Jersey is making a bid to become the second most solar powered state in the US, and they’re doing it a little differently than most. PSE&G is spending $515 million to generate 80 megawatts of solar power, and about half of it will be generated from small solar panels on about 200,000 of the

10 Minute Charge for Student-Built Electric Car

We are familiar with the better qualities of electric vehicles. They use alternative energy and leave less carbon footprints on the climate. But they are still not mass produced. They have many drawbacks and one has to find a remedy for such disadvantages. One of the hurdles in making them vehicles of masses is Posted in: Electric Cars , Inventions , Transportation

The Long Road To Solar

My long march to getting solar energy installed on my house in California continues it slog towards the final day when it gets turned on and we jump for joy. It all started last Fall when SolarCity was heavily promoting its new program for leasing a solar energy system. I was not in the position to buy a system for my house so the idea of leasing the system and putting down a modest down payment ($1000) and being able to basically pay the same amount each month for the lease and my electric bill as I am currently paying for the electricity straight from the utility had some real merit to me.

Virtual-Engineering Power Plants

We are familiar with the fact that photovoltaic and wind energy installations, hydroelectric power stations and biogas resources provide us with much desired clean and green energy and with minimal or no carbon content. But they are still in the stage of infancy and needed more work on them in order to replace fossil Posted in: Future Energy , Industry , Inventions

General Fusion raises $9M in venture financing

General Fusion’s magnetized target fusion core design General Fusion, who I wrote about before, is a Canadian company that is taking a low cost mechanical approach to nuclear fusion. The General Fusion concept is to use sound waves to create shock waves in a sealed container that would be strong enough to fuse deuterium and

What factors affect the output of wind turbines?

Wind energy is undoubtedly one of the cleanest forms of producing power from a renewable source. There is no pollution, there is no burning of fossil fuels, and unless something very drastic happens, you dont run out of wind. But its not like you can erect a wind turbine anywhere and it will start Posted in: Industry , Wind Power , Wind Turbines

Hydrogen From Waste Materials

Environmentalists are continuously searching for green and clean fuel. Until now they have been putting a lot of energy and talent into hydrogen fuels because when hydrogen is burned, the only emission it makes is water vapor. So it is a great advantage that burning of hydrogen doesnt produce carbon dioxide. Clearly, hydrogen is Posted in: Fuel Cells , Hydrogen Fuel , Waste Energy
