Quote: Scientists mimic essence of plants’ energy storage system In a revolutionary leap that could transform solar power from a marginal, boutique alternative into a mainstream energy source, MIT researchers have overcome a major barrier to large-scale solar power: storing energy for use when the sun doesn’t shine. Until now, solar power has been a daytime-only energy source, because storing extra solar energy for later use is prohibitively expensive and grossly inefficient. With tod

Motorhack – A motorcycle rider and a forum member of motorcyclephilippines.com, who Just like what his alias means – literally hacks his motor! You wouldn’t believe it but this pinoy rider who owns a Yamaha DT claims that he’s been using 70% HHO 30% gas to powered his motorbike for two months now. And much more amazing is that almost 99 percent of the materials he utilized to build this device can be found at anybody’s home (ika nga eh homemade talaga!), particularly inside the kitchen. Its s

Up until now, storing solar energy has been extremely expensive, but the code may have just broken, and by mimicking nature no less. From MIT: Requiring nothing but abundant, non-toxic natural materials, this discovery could unlock the most potent, carbon-free energy source of all: the sun. “This is the nirvana of what we’ve been talking about for years,” said MIT’s Daniel Nocera, the Henry Dreyfus Professor of Energy at MIT and senior author of a paper describing the work in the July 31 is

Electrolysis With a Twist Charles E Hill Thu Jul 31 17:06:00 -0700 2008 Chemistry manage No, not one of the “run your car on water” gimmicks. An MIT scientist is claiming to have developed a new catalyst that allows the splitting of water into hydrogen and oxygen using 90% less energy than the current methods. Nocera’s catalyst is made from cobalt, phosphate and an electrode that produces oxygen from water by using 90 percent less electricity than current methods, whic

phorm writes “Reuters is carrying an article about a recent MIT development which may pave the way for solar-energy to be collected for use in low-input periods. According to Reuters, the discovery of the a new catalyst for separating hydrogen+oxygen from water requires only 10% of the electricity of current methods. This would allow storage-cells to function as a form of battery for other forms …
