How graphene is going to transform the way we get power
|
|
From ImpactLab.net: ...As the poster child for the emerging new super materials industry,
graphene is a form of ultra thin carbon just one atom thick. If you can
imagine something a million times thinner than a single sheet of paper,
you get the picture.
Despite this, graphene is also one of the strongest materials in the
known universe. With a tensile strength of 130 GPa (gigapascals), it is
more than 100 times stronger than steel.
Graphene is now 15 years old, and even though most of the progress
has happen below the radar, the progress has indeed been stunning... ...Two Major Breakthroughs
Two particularly noteworthy developments have the potential to cause graphene to explode into a host of new industries.

Scientists find quick method to make magnets
|
|
(PhysOrg.com) -- Ultra-strong, high-temperature, high-performance
permanent magnet compounds, such as Samarium Cobalt, are the mainstay
materials for several industries that rely on high-performance motor
and power generation applications, including the Department of Defense
(DOD) and the automotive industry.
Until now, producing Samarium
Cobalt has been a difficult and expensive multi-step process.
Northeastern University researchers have broken new ground with an
innovative invention of a rapid, high-volume and cost-effective
one-step method for producing pure Samarium Cobalt rare earth permanent
magnet materials.

Posted Jan 25th 2008 9:36AM by Sebastian Blanco
One of Firefly's newest batteries, called the Oasis Group 31, is on
target for a summer release date. These batteries were unveiled in
October, and AutoblogGreen reader Sean says that he's been paying
attention this deep-discharge battery and that, " All of us with EVs
are quite interested as these promise to double the range, quadruple
the life, and weigh a bit less to boot!"

Wearable power competition announced (I-st prize: $1 million)
|
|
Calling all engineers and designers -- the U.S. Defense Department is
sponsoring a competition to develop a wearable electric power system
for war fighters.
Contestants will design a prototype of a battery
pack weighing less than 8.8 pounds and capable of powering a standard
service member's equipment for 96 hours, the department said in a news
release Thursday. The standard, battery-operated equipment military
personnel carry includes radios, night vision goggles and a global
positioning system.

MPI - Executive Summary updated
|
|
Extracts: "MPI’s mission is to supply the world with clean, abundant, and inexpensive electricity.
The company is developing technology it calls Magnetic
Power ModulesTM. Based upon breakthrough discoveries in MPI’s labs,
Magnetic Power Modules are being designed that operate continuously,
without fuel, extracting electricity by converting abundant, renewable,
Virtual Photon Flux (VPF), an energy source that exists everywhere in
the universe. The process will create no pollution. The cost of
electricity is estimated to be significantly less than any competing
form of power generation today or in the foreseeable future...

Man-made diamonds sparkle with potential

normablue writes: http://www.usatoday.com/tech/news/techinnovations/2005-10-06-man-made-diamonds_x.htm
BOSTON
— In the back room of an unmarked brown building in a run-down strip
mall, eight machines, each the size of a bass drum, are making diamonds. That's
right — making diamonds. Real ones, all but indistinguishable from the
stones formed by a billion or so years' worth of intense pressure,
later to be sold at Tiffany's.

Brookhaven Lab Breaks Ground for New Nanocenter
|
|
The U.S. Department of Energy’s Brookhaven National Laboratory held a
groundbreaking ceremony today for the Center for Functional
Nanomaterials (CFN). The CFN will provide researchers with advanced
probes and the ability to use new fabrication techniques to study
materials at nanoscale dimensions – typically, billionths of a meter,
or 1,000 times smaller than a human hair. These materials have
different chemical and physical properties than bulk materials and
could form the basis of new technologies.

If David Slawson is right about solar power, our days of oil dependency are numbered.
From: Inc. Magazine, July 2005 | Page 76 By: David H. Freedman Photographs by: Brad Wilson
"...Slawson’s company, Stirling Energy Systems, has some interesting credentials, including ownership of technology developed by McDonnell Douglas, Southern California Edison, and others at a cost of $400 million; $3 million in grants from the Department of Energy; a steady flow of angel investment that he says has averaged $2 million a year for nine years; a preliminary agreement to provide a major utility with up to $2.7 billion worth of electricity over 20 years; and another $1.3 billion deal on tap with another utility...
