The world is switching to green technologies by omitting oil power based technologies in favor of more renewable power technologies. But for those countries like Niger that only have oil to generate income for their country, this might be a very dangerous concept that threatens their survival.
The generation of cheap, reliable energy while reducing the associated carbon footprint remains one of the big challenges of the 21st century.
Ocean currents could be used as a cheap renewable energy source that is suitable for covering base load demand.
It utilizes its advanced solar thermal collection and storage technologies as a power source for rapidly removing water from agricultural run-off and sludge using a process that increases the rate of evaporation many magnitudes of that of natural evaporation. Because of this accelerated evaporation,
Hunger and chronic undernourishment impact over 800 million people in the world. While countries are increasingly making efforts to reduce food insecurity by pursuing sustainable agricultural practices, a third of the food produced worldwide is still wasted. This issue is especially prominent for fresh produce, including fruits and vegetables,
Garbage trucks are typically noisy and inefficient.
Utilizing a small, high efficiency diesel engine that runs at a constant engine speed, electricity will be generated for battery storage. This will be used for hydraulic pumps and motive force of the truck creating an efficient,
Legislation and climate driven committees are pushing for sustainable energy use. This means we must switch our reliance on non-renewable energy sources and convert renewable energy to be the primary source of energy. New opportunities exist for homeowners to become individual power producers of variable renewable energy, i.e.
Whether it’s electrical energy from the grid, wind, photovoltaic or hydro, the only way to guarantee energy delivery when it's needed is Storage. Thermal energy is the most useful form of energy. When stored in its pure ‘thermal’ form, especially as heat,
Research we conducted in the city identified that most petrol and diesel based vehicles are used for shorter distance travel. Automobiles running on petrol and diesel vehicles contribute more than 70% of the world's overall pollution.
As more and more organizations aim to be Zero-Net-Carbon (ZNC) by 2030, we wanted to share what we have found successful and reiterate the praises we have been singing since 1946 - the power of a clean fossil fuel.
Our team has over many years developed a double acting fickett-jacobs cycle internal detonation engine that boasts pure isochoric constant volume heat addition, giving it the world's highest efficiency for a given stroke to bore ratio. Instead of conventional engine architecture,
