US grants Oregon State first-ever lease for wave energy research off West Coast
CORVALLIS, Ore. â The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management issued the first-ever lease for a wave energy research project in federal waters off the U. S. West Coast to Oregon State University. âThis is the first time a lease has been issued to support the testing of wave energy equipment in federal waters off the U. S. West Coast,â said BOEM Director Amanda Lefton.
Ascendance proposes a long-range, low-emission hybrid VTOL air taxi
Right now, the entire electric VTOL scene is a house built on a foundation of faith. Faith that the hordes of researchers beavering away on next-gen battery technology will achieve an enormous energy density breakthrough, or faith that hydrogen fuel cell powertrains will prove safe, reliable and practical in an aviation context.
Both seem likely, eventually, but the urban air taxi industry is pushing to be up and running within five years, and right now thereâs no powertrain on the market that can keep these energy-intensive vertical-lift birds in the air long enough to be practical in a commercial sense.
Franceâs Ascendance sees an opportunity for an intermediate step. The company was founded by four ex-Airbus employees who worked on the groundbreaking E-Fan project, which back in 2015 became the first electric aircraft to cross the English Channel. Now, the team is working on a hybrid initiative to make long-range, low-emissions VTOL flight a reality even before the battery and hydrogen guys make their breakthroughs.
Microalgae identified as clean source of hydrogen production
Researchers unlocked the electronic properties of graphene by folding the material like origami paper.
Researchers at Monash Universityâs Department of Chemical Engineering, IITB-Monash Research Academy Mumbai, and The Indian Institute of Technologyâs Department of Chemical Engineering have used reactive flash volatilisation (RFV) gasification technology to produce hydrogen using microalgae, giving rise to newer and cleaner forms of energy.
1 Gigawatt Solar + Storage Plant Planned For France
A giant 1 gigawatt (1000 megawatt) solar-plus-storage project is currently planned for France. Engie, one of the worldâs biggest energy companies, and Neoen, a large French power producer, are planning to build this project together near the small French town of Saucats. The projectâs name is Horizeo.
Toyota claims the 2021 Mirai fuel-cell car cleans the air, calls it âminus emissionsâ
The 2021 Toyota Mirai claims to have better than zero-emissions by filtering the outside air, but it ignores the emissions of hydrogen sourcing.
In The Future Your Tattoo Might Give You A Super Power
Scientists are attempting to create next generation tattoos with a myriad of functions including electrical conductance, bio sensing, UV detection / protection, and more.
Hey itâs Han from WrySci HX covering the topic of âsuper powerâ tattoos. We all know about regular ones but scientists are looking to create next generation tattoos that will serve important functions beyond aesthetics that we can have in the future. Watch to find out what they might be! More below âââ
