One step closer to decentralized renewable energy? New magnetic floating flywheels may provide the storage solution
The use of alternative energy sources has become increasingly important as energy costs have been rising and fossil fuels such as coal and gas have contributed greatly to environmental pollution. One solution is to save energy from wind turbines and solar cells; however, to store energy when sunlight and wind are not available can be […]

Wind power on Mars is a “feasible” idea, concludes new study
Looks like there is another good long-term source of power for Martian exploration vehicles aside from a nuclear reactor. Danish researchers reported that Mars has enough wind to generate useful levels of power, an article in Space.com stated. The Aarhus University (AU) research team started looking into the feasibility of wind power on Mars in late 2010. […]

Wind turbines are about to be even BIGGER
The title of world’s largest offshore wind turbine could one day go to General Electric (GE), whose renewable energy division has recently announced it is developing the skyscraper-sized Haliade-X model, according to an article on EcoWatch. Standing at a height of 853 feet, Haliade-X is as tall as the Transamerica Pyramid building, the second tallest structure in San Francisco, […]

Protecting eagles: Researchers develop detection and deterrent system to reduce wildlife casualties from wind turbines
Wind turbines have been used to generate wind power, which is generally regarded as clean energy. However, wind turbines have killed numerous bats and birds, including golden eagles and bald eagles, which are federally protected species. Researchers have come up with a solution to minimize these deaths in a study published in Wind Energy. The researchers have set up […]

How green is the technology that makes your green energy? Researchers are working to develop sustainable ways to source the raw materials
The growing demand for green technologies such as electric vehicles and wind turbines has called for a heavy price. The need for rare earth minerals in their production processes is all but causing great harm to the environment and placing unnecessary pressure upon poor communities. Yet a team of researchers from the Camborne School of […]
