Mechanical Battery | Flywheel Energy Storage

In the late 1940s a Swiss company- Oerlikon, developed a peculiar kind of public bus, the Gyrobus . It was a electrically powered bus made to operate over short distances and low traffic regions with zero greenhouse gas emission. The thing that made the Gyrobus so unique was that instead of any electro-chemical batteries or any internal combustion engines it was powe…

Why do we need a Revolution in NRG Storage?

In the coming decade the energy sector and our modern electricity grid is going to get a paradigm shift. We are on the brink of a revolution in the way  we consider power supply. If Charles Babbage time travels to 2020 he will definitely get startled when  he sees our modern super computers, but for someone like Edison or Tesla it will be nothing much new. The energy…

GEN IV Nuclear Reactors

The need for clean and sustainable energy has led scientists and engineers to undertake several projects and experiments for finding new and innovative energy system. Until fusion energy is achieved we have to deal with our existing technologies. Nuclear fission is one such source which has been providing clean energy for industries, transportation and other commerci…

From Plastic to Fuel !!

Plastics have immense potential and its ease of being made, has resulted in mass production of Plastics. But in spite of the infinite uses, the potential of plastic to resist most natural processes is both a boon as well as a curse . Due to this non disintegrating nature of plastic, it has become a major element of Environmental Pollution and has degraded Quality of …
