DYI Solar Power with Will Prowse
45% of the US Winter Wheat crop is estimated to have been damaged as the polar vortex (also known as meridional jetstream flows associated with Grand Solar Minima) brings Texas' power grid down.
MSM admits carbon-cutting initiative triggered statewide blackouts.
When it comes to expanding the capabilities of today's lithium-ion batteries, all kinds of alternative materials are on the table, from salt, to silicon, to microwaved plastics.
Winter storm Uri sparks energy crisis: Cold blast freezes natural gas pipelines and wind turbines, 5 MILLION are left without power and electricity and oil prices surge to record highs
Texas power grid operator ERCOT, which represents 90% of the state's electric load, tweeted Tuesday morning that "generators to return, renewable output to increase = increased customer restoration."
Bill Gates Goes Full Captain Planet, Wants To Change 'Every Aspect Of Economy' While We Dine On Fake Meat
Update (1715ET): As the day has progressed, amid deteriorating weather forecasts and no let up in demand (despite ERCOT's urgings), our trader contact at a Houston energy firm sums the situation up as eloquently and succinctly as ever:
Updated (1726 ET): Weather forecast models suggest the polar vortex will continue pouring Arctic air into much of the central US through Feb. 20.
There are a huge number of people doing energy modeling. In my opinion, nearly all of them are going astray in their modeling because they don't understand how the economy really operates.
Coal Plants Run At 100% Capacity, Struggle To Keep Lights On
Thermoelectric systems are based on technology that leverages differences in temperature to generate electricity, and we've seen how this approach can be applied to the world's tiniest refrigerator, cooking pots that power smartphones and even th
The text of the GREEN act renewable energy bill was released.
Robots gonna take our jobs - China is far ahead of USA - Future of solar energy
...comes from COAL. During a recent unveiling of the new Chevy Volt, Zimmerman demonstrated for the media how the supposedly "green" vehicle is simply plugged into a power source for energy. And this power source, at least in Michigan, is mostly
Built-in BMS: Our LiFePO4 battery has built-in BMS (Battery Management System) to protect it from overcharge, over-discharge, over-current, and short circuit with excellent self-discharge rate. Built-in high /low-temp cut off prevents charging over 1
Fraunhofer researchers have presented a magnesium-based "Powerpaste" that stores hydrogen energy at 10 times the density of a lithium battery, offering hydrogen fuel cell vehicles the ability to travel further than gasoline-powered ones, and refuel i
Set max voltage on psu to 13.6V. slower charge rate, but 4s LiFePO4 can float charge at this voltage. Increases longevity. Dial on psu needs a cover or remove it. Too easy to bump it.
Made by Nanoramic, it is expected to be in mass-production cells and supercapacitors in 2023.

Surviving a week-long power outage requires a great deal of preparation. You use electricity for a lot of things, so it only makes sense that you pay more attention to how you'll manage your home in the event of a power outage.
"Where do environmentalists and Democrats think all these batteries for our oil-free transportation fleet are going to come from?"
QUT researchers have demonstrated a hybrid supercapacitor design that stores vastly more energy than a regular supercap while offering charge/discharge rates much higher than lithium batteries
How does a car alternator work? learn from the basics where we use the alternator and how alternators work.
An interesting thing about GM's announcement the other day that it will only sell electric cars 14 years from now, by 2035. The New York Times - aka the Pravda of the Hudson, described this as a "seismic" shift.
Electric motors can seem very mysterious! How do they use electricity to start rotating? Let's break it down step by step to understand how it works. Topics covered in this video: circuits, current, magnets, electromagnets, armature, commutator, br
A solar chimney can be a possible solution as an off grid air conditioning that requires no fan, motors, or electricity. Using the power of the sun, we're trying to create a method to help passively cool the inside of the shed. Come along on this uni
Alibaba is one of the best places around to find the coolest and sometimes weirdest electric vehicles in the world. As part of a new series known as Awesomely weird Alibaba electric vehicle of the week, we're taking a look at some of our favorites.
