BlackLight Power: A new energy breakthrough ?

Spaceweaver — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:19:42 GMT

BlackLight Power Inc., is the pioneer of technology based on the patented process of releasing chemical energy from hydrogen called the "BlackLight Process." More specifically, energy is released as the electrons of hydrogen atoms are induced by a catalyst to transition to lower-energy levels (i.e. drop to lower base orbits around each atom's nucleus) corresponding to fractional quantum numbers. The BlackLight Process has unique competitive advantages in all energy markets: electricity, heat, cogeneration (electricity production with waste heat recovery and utilization), and motive power. Rather than pollutants the byproducts have significant advanced technology applications based on their stability characteristics. The catalyst causes the hydrogen atoms to transition to lower-energy states by allowing their electrons to fall to smaller radii around the nucleus with a release of energy that is intermediate between chemical and nuclear energies.

‘Energy scavenging’ the next big thing

transfuture — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:19:42 GMT

Jack Ganssle, chief engineer of The Ganssle Group, sees energy scavenging as a replacement for batteries in mobile devices in the future. In an interview with ZDNet Jack states that in India there is a great need for mobile devices but power is scarce. India is creating its own embedded systems industry due to the availability of highly skilled engineering talent. Jack thinks India and China are going to be the engines of growth for this industry due to the strength of their domestic market. The microprocessors are able to sniff energy from the environment. It could be anything ranging from energy radiated by power lines, heat in the coffee cup or the human body.

Organic Dye Turns Windows into Sun Catchers

transfuture — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:19:42 GMT

Organic dyes have been used to harvest the sunlight streaming through the windows in your home. Up to 20% of the light can be captured and redirected to photovoltaic cells around the edge of the window, creating electricity. The idea is to coat ordinary glass with an organic dye, allowing a large area of light to be captured then focused onto a small cell, a much more efficient method than using traditional photovoltaic cells.

Al Gore: Carbon-free Energy by 2018

transfuture — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:19:42 GMT

Some Social Technologies colleagues and I recently had the good fortune to attend Al Gore's speech in Washington, where he unveiled a new challenge to the US: be free of carbon-based energy in 10 years. His challenge calls for the US not only to be oil independent but also coal-free, relying only on renewable energy. Gore emphasized solar, wind, and geothermal energy as replacements to carbon-based fuels.

Wave power, our future energy supply

transfuture — Wed, 02 Dec 2009 03:19:42 GMT

The search for new ways to gain environmently friendly energy is still going strong. But we have to because the fossil fuels have had their days. Today there are already a lot of ways to find ‘new enegry’ like solarpower and windturbines. But there is a ‘new’ sustainable form of energy and it is called wave energy. There are several ways and innovation to ‘generate’ the energy from the sea. One of them is the so called Wave Rotor. This is like a windmill under the water. A demoversion of this will soon be build in the Dutch ‘Westerschelde’. But Denmark already uses such a system. Another way to generate wave energy is the seasnake or Pelamis. This is something the British government believes in so they given it a lot of money to realise it. But there are already countries which already have a wave plant existing of seasnakes. Portugal is such a country. Another innovation on wave power is the so called AquabuOY (clip). This way to get energy from the waves will be introduced in Australia. When we look at all these initiatives we may, and I believe can, conclude that wave power is something for the near future. This brings us to the point that our oceans will become in the future our most reliable sources for energy! What do you think?
