DEVICE WORKS ON SOLAR POWER The system is suitable in areas where there is no electricity supply

Can you imagine harnessing sufficient quantities of solar power to supply electricity to cities in Africa and cities in Europe?

It has been proposed that the energy created by CSP in the Sahara could be transported to Europe with minimal loss via high voltage DC power lines.

and therefore operate more efficiently. 3. In solar thermal power plants, only about 25%of the collected solar energy is converted into electricity.

If combined with sea water another 50%of the collected energy, normally released as heat,

Their reluctance to export enough to meet global demand has touched off a worldwide hunt for new sources with promising finds being uncovered in Canada, Argentina, South korea, and California.

***To understand how artificial tornadoes could generate electricity it helps to know how a tornado works in the natural world.

Power plants. In the models he's created so far he's used energy sources to heat up the air that is fed into the bottom of a vortex

either through electricity or by concentrating solar energy. But if he were to partner with power plants that initial energy investment wouldn't be necessary.

Power plants already generate waste energy via heat. An AVE would use the waste energy to begin

and maintain a vortex. Adding that capacity would increase output of the power plant by 10 to 20 percent without using any additional fuel Michaud theorizes.

And the vortexes that would result could rise a whopping 15 kilometers in the air (natural tornadoes have clocked in at almost 9 kilometers high.

which amounts to 6000 TW--3000 times the 2 terawatts of electrical power we make worldwide without his method.

Michaud argues that his method of energy generation is actually safer than most other electricity-generating methods like coal-fired power plants which are contributing to global warming

Once the project already in the works is completed they'll use the turbine to power a light bulb proving the electricity potential of the vortex.

Power plants contribute one-third of this country's greenhouse gases so this is a good place to start.

Under the Clean Air Act the EPA can work with states to develop new standards for curbing emissions at existing power plants.

I read somewhere that coal fire power plants release more radiation (in the form of radioactive impurities being vaporized) into the atmosphere every year than all nuclear power plants ever (including meltdowns.

By contrast coal-fired power plants release higher quantities of radioactive isotopes directly into the atmosphere than even the oldest nuclear reactors ever did.

You can replace hundreds of wind turbines and square miles of solar farms with one bnuclear power plant.

The newest generations of nuclear power plants are some of the most well design and safest power plants in the world.

After Hurricane Sandy shoved water into Con Edison's 14th street substation in October causing electricity to arc between capacitors about a quarter million customers were left in the dark.

In 2011 Hurricane Irene cut electricity to about 5. 5 million homes. Tornadoes ice storms wildfires and drought now routinely overwhelm the nation's aging electrical infrastructure inflicting sweeping blackouts.

Demand is now rising at 1 percent a year pushing more electricity through lines that were intended never to handle such high loads.

Large power plants typically located far from the customers they serve produce most of the electricity.

Transformers at the plants increase the voltage so it can be moved more efficiently to local substations

which reduce the voltage and send it out to neighborhoods and individual homes. When a fault current or surge occurs anywhere along the line automatic circuit breakers open to halt it.

and people so adding power from another source is not helpful until the initial problem is dealt with and considered safe for electrical power.

Of course true electrical engineers might find problems with my solutions and have better solutions of their own. Your Grid problem in the US is political.

Side note to the Euros--there are high voltage DC lines in the US they've been in place for years.

The research team took into account the sources of electricity used to charge the electric vehicles in evaluating greenhouse gas emissions.

Electricity produced from hydroelectric sources--more common in the northwest United states--dramatically reduced total greenhouse gas emissions for electric vehicles operated there.

Vehicles operated in states heavily dependent on coal for producing electricity showed higher emissions. In every state in the U s. electric trucks provided some reduction in greenhouse gas emissions with urban routes providing the most advantage.

Sanitation and sterilization are enormous obstacles without reliable electricity said Rice photonics pioneer Naomi Halas the director of LANP

When electricity passes through a layer of silicon oxide it strips away oxygen molecules and creates a channel of pure metallic phase silicon that is less than five nanometers wide.

#Waste heat may economize CO2 capturein some of the first results from a federally funded initiative to find new ways of capturing carbon dioxide (CO2) from coal-fired power plants Rice university scientists have found that CO2 can be removed more economically using waste heat

--low-grade steam that cannot be used to produce electricity. The find is significant because capturing CO2 with conventional technology is an energy-intensive process that can consume as much as one-quarter of the high-pressure steam that plants use to produce electricity.

This is just the first step in our effort to better engineer a process for capturing CO2 from flue gas at power plants said George Hirasaki the lead researcher of Rice's CO2-capture research team The researchers hope to reduce the costs of CO2 capture by creating an integrated

reaction column that uses waste heat engineered materials and optimized components. Hirasaki's team was one of 16 chosen by the Department of energy (DOE) in 2011 to develop innovative techniques for reducing greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.

The team's first findings appear in two new studies that are available online this month in the International Journal of Greenhouse Gas Control.

Power plants fired by coal and natural gas account for about half of the CO2 that humans add to the atmosphere each year;

these power plants are prime candidates for new technology that captures CO2 before it goes up in smoke.

Each of these plants makes electricity by boiling water to create steam to run electric turbines.

while the CO2 at power plants is said not Hirasaki There's also a greater volume of CO2 per unit mass at a power plant than at a natural gas well.

if it is to be cost-effective for CO2 capture at power plants. A major challenge in adapting two-phase amine processing for power plants is the amount of heat required to recycle the amine in the second phase of the process.

Using existing amine processing technology at power plants is impractical because amine recycling would require as much as one-quarter of the high-pressure steam that could otherwise be used to drive turbines

and make electricity Hirasaki said. This phenomenon is known as parasitic power loss and it will drive up the cost of electricity by lowering the amount of electricity a plant can produce for sale.

It has been estimated that the use of current technology for CO2 capture would drive up the cost of electricity by 70 to 100 percent said Rice graduate student Sumedh Warudkar a co-investigator on the Rice university team.

In our study we examined whether it would be possible to improve on that by using lower-value steam to run the amine recyclers.

To test this idea Warudkar used a software package that's commonly used to model industrial chemical processes.

the use of alternative fuels like biofuels electricity and hydrogen; and strong government policies to overcome high costs and influence consumer choices.

This approach includes reducing work the engine must perform--reducing vehicle weight aerodynamic resistance rolling resistance

or electricity the high initial purchase cost is likely to be a significant barrier to widespread consumer acceptance the report says.

Each combines highly efficient vehicles with at least one of three alternative power sources--biofuel electricity or hydrogen.

Vehicles powered by electricity will not emit any greenhouse gases but the production of electricity and the additional load on the electric power grid are factors that must be considered.

To the extent that fossil resources are used to generate electricity the report says that the successful implementation of carbon capture

and storage will be essential. These vehicles also rely on batteries which are projected to drop steeply in price.

The most common choices would be to either burn it for electricity or dispose of the ash.

The key to Narayan's approach is the application of an electric field at approximately 100 volts per centimeter to the material.

and draw current from the electric field to the area --which raises the temperature along the grain boundary.

Preheating the grain boundary with an electric field is allowed what Narayan to lower the sintering temperature from 1450 C to 800 C

A typical BECCS system converts woody biomass grass and other vegetation into electricity chemical products or fuels such as ethanol.

The technology can be used in power plants paper mills ethanol processors and other manufacturing facilities. As a carbon-negative technology BECCS takes advantage of the innate ability of trees grasses

Approximately 60 percent of global CO2 emissions come from power plants and other industries fueled by coal natural gas and oil.

To make the process carbon negative researchers have proposed a BECCS co-fired power plant that runs on a mixture of fossil fuel (such as coal) and vegetation (wood grass or straw for example.

Unlike BECCS and biochar systems which produce electricity or fuels mechanical trees do not generate power

and Technology are the latest in a long effort to understand the environmental aspects of antibiotic resistance which threatens decades of progress in fighting disease.

The propagation of antibiotic resistance has been perceived as a medical or microbiology-related problem Alvarez said.

and/or oxygen through successive generations they found that in the absence of tetracycline both microbes dumped the resistance plasmid though not entirely in the case of E coli.

But P. aeruginosa completely shed the genetic element responsible for resistance which made it susceptible once again to antibiotics.

When a high level of tetracycline was present both microbes retained a level of resistance One long-recognized problem with antibiotics is that they tend to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory.

So there is incentive to eliminate the resistance plasmid from bacteria in the environment as close to the source as possible.

His study of the Haihe River in China funded by the Chinese government and published last year found tetracycline resistance genes are common in the environment there as well.

To support the goal of making the system available worldwide it had to be simple enough for field researchers to use consistently able to be transported in backpacks to locations without electricity

if the voltage was applied to the decoys. According to Domingue the light-scattering properties of the beetle's shell--which the team experimentally demonstrated using a white laser--made the nano-bioreplicated decoys more lifelike and therefore more attractive to males than the non-textured 3d printed decoy.

Laser pulses generated coherent bursts of terahertz radiation through a built-in surface electric field of the indium phosphide substrate that changed due to charge transfer between the graphene and the contaminating molecules.

Use of porous silicon oxide reduces forming voltage, improves manufacturabilityrice University's breakthrough silicon oxide technology for high-density next-generation computer memory is one step closer to mass production thanks to a refinement that will allow manufacturers to fabricate devices at room temperature with conventional

The basic concept behind resistive memory devices is the insertion of a dielectric material--one that won't normally conduct electricity--between two wires.

When a sufficiently high voltage is applied across the wires a narrow conduction path can be formed through the dielectric material.

It can be manufactured at room temperature has an extremely low forming voltage high on-off ratio low power consumption nine-bit capacity per cell exceptional switching speeds and excellent cycling endurance.

First the porous material reduced the forming voltage--the power needed to form conduction pathways--to less than two volts a 13-fold improvement over the team's previous best and a number that stacks up against competing RRAM technologies.

Tour said the latest developments with porous silicon oxide--reduced forming voltage elimination of need for edge fabrication excellent endurance cycling

Coal-fired power plants produce a lot of pollution so any measures that will reduce our combustion of coal will also help us to fight air pollution.

This will be particularly important for China he said which has been plagued by skyrocketing air pollution from coal power plants used to fuel its industrial expansion.

Experts estimate that a quarter of a million people die prematurely each year in China because of air pollution from the country's coal-fired power plants.

when solar power was more of a novelty source of energy for individuals who were too far from power lines to get conventional electricity from the grid.

Today we build large power plants that can supply entire cities with renewable electricity. In fact today we install the equivalent of 100 large coal-fired power plants--the same capacity in renewables--every year he said.

However we haven't started phasing out the coal-fired power plants so this needs to happen too.

The good news is that the WG III report presents a full range of options for action.
