European Parliament Agrees that E-Bike Safety Depends on Speed, Not Power

December 10, 2011 in News Releases by admin

It’s not finalized yet, but there may be a breakthrough in the European discussion on the technical rules for electric bicycles. It could mean among other things that pedelecs with assistance up to 25 km/h will be excluded from the type-approval for mopeds and motorcycles irrespective of their power output. As a result, they would [...]

According to industry sources, in view of fast growing demand for lithium polymer batteries used in slim notebooks and tablets, the global total annual capacity of lithium polymer battery cells is estimated to exceed 400 million units by the end of 2011. Strong demand boosted prices for lithium polymer cells by 20% in the second [...]

Hybrid solar system makes rooftop hydrogen

August 24, 2011 in News Releases by admin

Instead of systems based on standard solar panels, Duke engineer Nico Hotz proposes a hybrid option in which sunlight heats a combination of water and methanol in a maze of glass tubes on a rooftop. After two catalytic reactions, the system produces hydrogen much more efficiently than current technology without significant impurities. The resulting hydrogen [...]

Nano bundles pack a powerful punch: Solid-state energy storage takes a leap forward

August 24, 2011 in News Releases by admin

A paper from the Rice lab of chemist Robert Hauge, to be published in the journal Carbon, reported the creation of robust, versatile energy storage that can be deeply integrated into the manufacture of devices. Potential uses span on-chip nanocircuitry to entire power plants. Standard capacitors that regulate flow or supply quick bursts of power [...]

Human gait could soon power portable electronics

August 24, 2011 in News Releases by admin

In a paper appearing in the journal Nature Communications, Krupenkin and Taylor, both engineering researchers at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, describe a new energy-harvesting technology that promises to dramatically reduce our dependence on batteries and instead capture the energy of human motion to power portable electronics. "Humans, generally speaking, are very powerful energy-producing machines," explains [...]

Electrical Storage Device SMC – New

August 21, 2011 in News Releases by admin

Electrical energy has been stored in electrochemical batteries, capacitors, and double layer or ultra capacitors. Other mechanisms like pumped hydro, thermal systems, and even flywheels store energy that can be used to generate electricity. Surface-mediated cells (SMC) offer us the advantage of increasing both power and energy densities. Power Density is a measure of how [...]
