A bladeless turbine design converts the static electricity naturally generated by dust particles in compressed air into usable power while neutralizing the hazardous charges. (Nanowerk Spotlight) Most ...

Newly formed firm Energy Storage and Power plans to make compressed-air energy storage machines for utilities that need storage for wind and solar power sources. Martin LaMonica is a senior writer ...

Researchers have introduced a contactless electricity generation method using only practical compressed air and a Tesla turbine structure. This system achieves peak outputs of 800 V and 2.5 A at 325 ...

Researchers in the United Arab Emirates have developed a way to use compressed air storage to store solar power and provide additional cooling. They claim their prototype could compete with ...

Active Power recently revealed the principles by which it has achieved extended battery-free power backup in its CleanSource XR product. The company combines two energy storage mechanisms — thermal ...

The air just is a transmission mechanism to avoid having to put a water pump-turbine at the bottom level. This makes a lot of sense, efficient conversion of large amounts of energy stored in the ...

It's no longer news that the growing emphasis on sustainability is leading the charge for higher efficiency. When discussing energy use in manufacturing environments, the Big Three - water, ...

Broken Hill's hard-rock geology could hold part of the solution to Australia's energy storage problem as the country shifts to renewables. A 200-megawatt, $1 billion facility built by Canadian company ...
