  • A Battery Break Through?
    Move over li-ion batteries, there is a potential new sheriff in town. EEstor, a company located in Texas is creating a new power system that it hopes will be able to replace the batteries that we typically use in everything from our cars to our personal laptop computers.

  • A Self Charging Cell Phone: Find A New Excuse For Ending Your Calls
    The new system that is being developed will collect energy from ambient radio waves which are emitted from "antennas, TV masts, Wi-Fi transmitters, etc."

  • A Super Rapid Lithium-ion Battery Charger
    We have all stood frustrated and angry, waiting for the batteries to finish recharging.

  • Aerovironment To Begin Making A Battery Charging Innovation
    Aerovironment is a company that has specialized in the development and manufacture of unmanned aircraft systems as well as efficient energy storage systems. In 2007, the company was granted a United States patent for a battery-charging technology that would allow simultaneous (parallel) charging of multiple batteries.

  • Blink And You Miss It: Batteries That Charge In Twenty Seconds Or Less
    MIT scientists are hoping that they are less than two years away from a device that can give batteries a fully usable recharged status in less than twenty seconds. The charging device will have a variety of uses and can possibly change the lives of those who rely on some typically slow charging battery types. In addition, i ...

  • Drawbacks To Smart Grid Integration
    Smart grid technology is years, possibly decades away from being accepted nationally. Right now, it is being tested in several places so that the best business model can be uncovered and small foul ups can be caught early and fixed.

  • Extending The Life Of Your Rechargeable Batteries: Renaissance Battery Charging
    To understand why proper charging is important to the life of your rechargeable battery, you must first understand what happens during the process.

  • Fast Change Technology: A Better Place And Switching Stations
    There are two ways to take care of your hybrid or electric vehicle's spent battery. You can charge it, a good option if you are close to home and are only using it for short trips or are home for the day and can charge it for a few hours, or even over night.

  • Ge And A123 Team To Expand The Development Of The Li-ion Battery
    Whenever two companies work together on a project that is both positive in an environmental light and can help to bring jobs to many areas, it is a cause for something noteworthy.

  • Green Plug Introduces: A Universal Charger
    All of the cell phones sold about three years from now will have a universal charger to the benefit of cell phone producers, owners, and the environment.

  • Home Smart Home: Smart Grids For Home Use
    Many families are investigating ways to reduce their soaring home energy costs. Of the alternative energy sources, two are most viable: solar and wind, but both have drawbacks. Relying on a hybrid of the two is a better option in the long run.

  • How A Smart Grid Can Lead To Smart Consumers
    One of the biggest advantages of a universal smart grid would be its ability to create smart energy consumers. Because the smart grid would actually be able to define and identify individual energy wasters and then charge them accordingly, there would be a huge economic incentive for more careful consumption.

  • How Smart Grid Technology Can Affect Energy Pricing
    Smart grid technology can affect energy pricing in two ways: raising the rates for high-demand peak periods and lowering it during off-peak times.

  • How To Find The Right Alternate Energy Source For Your Needs
    So, you have decided to begin using an alternate energy source. That is great. But, which one is the right one for you? To start, you must take a look at the area in which you live. What is the climate like? What is the general landscape like? What problems might you encounter with each different alternate energy type?

  • Intelligent Chargers And Switch Mode Chargers: Making The Most Out Of Your Battery
    We have all heard the stories and seen the reports on the news (or watched the video on YouTube), someone leaves a battery in the charger for too long, and it overheats and then bursts into flames.

  • Kinetic Energy: Harnessing The Energy Naturally Created By Our Own Bodies
    Kinetic energy is formed whenever we move around we drive around. Harnessing that power by various forms of technology allows that energy to be transformed into electrical power and used for a number of applications. It is happening at this very time in various locations and in many ways.

  • Lithium-ion Batteries: The Green Standard
    The lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is touted as the battery of choice for the green world. This means that it is considered to be the greenest of the battery choices, and this has been the case for some time.

  • New Green Technology: Nickel-zinc Battery By Powergenix
    Nickel-zinc (NiZn) batteries have the technology to deliver not only the recycling ability of other nickel-based battery types, but they also deliver a full 1.5 volts of power.

  • Polymer Electric Storage For High Capacities
    Using the polymer electric storage system will allow more energy to be stored without the added bulk and weight of a traditional battery. Polymers are lighter and far more flexible than any other energy storage system seen so far.

  • Recharging Batteries To Save Money, And Better Than Buying New
    People have a great many batteries in their homes and their cost is even greater. The cost, however, of buying non-rechargeable batteries for our toys, games and small appliances goes far beyond money because the question arises of how to dispose of dead batteries.

  • Recharging Versus Switching Batteries
    In the world of alternative fuel vehicles, there are those that are for them and those that are against them. Those that are against them claim that they are unreliable, unproven and expensive. A University of California-Berkeley study as well as information released by A Better Place may stomp out some of those fears.

  • Review Of The Amazon Kindle
    The greatest thing about the holidays is PRESENTS (just kidding, it is the fact that people are really nice to one another), especially when one of your co-workers gets a really cool one to show off. The Amazon Kindle is one of the more unique and truly eco-friendly products on the market today.

  • Selling Extra Wind Or Solar Power To The Energy Grid
    For who believed that wind or solar power was a passing fancy or that it was only for the hippies or tree-hugging types, there might be an incentive beyond just protecting the environment.

  • Smart Grid Technology: The Global Smart Vision
    Each country has its own vision of what a real "smart grid" is, and every country has a different time frame in mind for implementing these visions.

  • Smart On A Municipal Level
    A city uses a lot of energy for its businesses and offices and for all of the residents that live there. With a smart grid in place the cost of that energy usage would be far less expensive both economically and environmentally.
