Hybrid Organic Solar Cells
Developing a sustainable organic hybrid solar cell has long been an active goal of many researchers. While some attempts have been successful in the past only recent developments have enabled organic hybrids to sustain themselves for extended periods of time – with new developments allowing the...
Liquid Fuel from Solar Energy
Being able to effectively develop a liquid fuel for usage in combustion engines utilizing primarily solar power that can reduce overall CO2 emissions and help reverse the greenhouse effect is currently a project that is not only possible but is being undergone in many areas today with devices first designed...
Solid Cell Organic Batteries
With scientists continuing to explore a number of alternative power solutions for both power generation and energy storage a classic science experiment has been revisited by researchers as of late as a viable energy device for use worldwide: the potato battery. Containing a high salt-bridge capacity...
Energy from Radio Waves
Being able to convey electrical energy effectively wirelessly from device to device has long been the dream of many engineers in the world since the days of Nicola Tesla, though unfortunately until recent years this has proven a particularly difficult task as any wireless transfer of energy generally...
Why Solar Car Races Exist
Solar car races have existed for a number of years, with many such as the “American Solar Challenge” that runs a 1,100 mile course from Broken Arrow, Oklahoma to Naperville, Illinois having gone on for roughly 20 years now. These races have even become so well known in many media cultures...
