The charge controller will prevent
Football Pitch-Sized Batteries Could Change the World of Renewable Energy
2012-01-10 15:55:00 2011 saw huge advances in solar, wind and other renewable energy sources, and these advancements will continue into 2012. In fact 2012 could be the year that renewable energy sources start to seriously compete with traditional fossil fuels, at least that is the hope in the battle to reduce carbon emissions and our dependence on dwindling oil stocks. However a major problem with renewable energy sources is that they can rarely provide consistent power levels, due to a myriad of factors outside of human control. Eric Wesoff, an industry analyst with Greentech Media, explains that, "A wind farm only works when the blades are spinning. It might have a nameplate capacity of 100 megawatts, but it never puts out that . . . → Read More: Football Pitch-Sized Batteries Could Change the World of Renewable Energy

Tuesdays with Tammy: Body Batteries & Green Smoothies
2010-08-31 14:07:00 A little while back I was feeling pretty blah. I wasn't really sick, but I just had a vague feeling of overall lethargy and a bad case of the grumps. I was already keeping a regular sleep cycle, exercising and eating pretty healthfully, practicing some healthy venting with friends and getting outside for some Vitamin D as much as possible. What else could I do? Not really knowing how I could make myself feel better, I turned to my expert and friend, Tammy Fana, who suggest I try making myself a green smoothie. Later, I found out why I was feeling so negative-I hadn't been charging my batteries properly! Let me tell you, these green smoothies made my brain feel...

Paper and Cloth Batteries
2009-12-11 19:09:00 If a team of researchers at Stanford University are to be believed, Batteries made from plain copier paper could make for future energy storage that is truly paper thin.These guys started with off-the-shelf copier paper, painting it with an "ink" made of carbon nanotubes-tiny cylinders of carbon - to collect electric charge..The coated paper is then dipped in lithium-containing solutions and an electrolyte to provide the chemical reaction that generates a battery's electric current.The paper acts to collect the electric charge from the reaction. Using paper in this way could reduce the weight of batteries, typically made with metal current collectors, by 20%.The team's batteries are also capable of releasing their stored energy quickly. That is a valuable characteristic for applications that need quick bursts of energy, such as electric vehicles - although the team has no immediate plans to develop vehicle batteries.The team says that adaptations to the technique in the future cou...
