Cold fusion Unveiled by An Italian Scientist – True or False?

There is an Italian Scientist named Andrea Rossi who claims that he has successfully conducted ‘cold fusion’ – Something that most scientists consider impossible to do. Andrea Rossi’s ability to fuse hydrogen and nickel at normal room temperature is something that most physicists say defines the very laws of physics and is thus not simply [...]

Using Nuclear Power (Fusion) To Reach the Stars

If mankind is really serious about sending spaceships to other stars in the universe within our current lifespan, then we will need to devise innovative propulsion techniques, which will enable the machines to move out of the confinement of our Solar System. The best option, as of now, is power of nuclear fusion. However, the [...]

Will Solar Power Be The Solution To Future Energy Challenges?

Jeremy Leggett, who launches new ventures promoting green economy, strongly recommends that we follow the footsteps of China and Germany by investing in solar energy while there is a steep decline in the costs of start-up. Wall Street has been avoiding investing money in solar organizations. Even if so, USA has more solar jobs than [...]

Hybrid Solar System Harnessing Thermal & Thermoelectric Power

A new approach to the use of sun energy was developed at MIT. Two researchers are trying to get both thermal and electric energy at the same time out of a hybrid thermoelectric system. The journal Solar Energy has recently published a paper signed by Evelyn Wang, associate professor of mechanical engineering at MIT, and [...]

One of EU’s leading Photovoltaic power Companies Is Buying Solar Technology from Emerson

Recently, one of EU’s largest solar-energy developers awarded a long-term contract to Emerson to provide power inverter technology. Emerson’s contract with Euro Projects, makes them the supplier of utility-scale inverters for two very large solar power plants situated in Villaperuccio in Sardinia, Italy. The power inverters provided by Emerson, converts DC current generated from solar [...]

Affordable Thermal Solar Energy For Home Use

Solar thermal is probably the cheapest source of household heated water: besides the initial investment, the convertor will function at no cost, harvesting a free source of energy – sun’s thermal radiation. Such a device could provide from 30% to 80% of the warm water needed for a family of four, depending on the total [...]

Europe & MEAN Building New Science & Energy Alliance: DESERTEC – Solution For Energy Stability

Germany, Tunisia and Morocco along with their governments have both openly acknowledged and supported the concept of Middle East and North African (MENA) countries fulfilling their constantly rising demand for energy by using the intensive sun. They have to generate solar power on a huge scale. Additionally, Europe would import the extra energy generated by [...]
