Breakthrough Solar System Uses Recycled Aluminum to Store Energy—Without Batteries source:Good News NetworkA new renewable energy startup company has come up with a low-cost, zero-emissions solution to the thorny issue surrounding what happens when the sun isn’t shining and the wind isn’t blowing.Paradoxically, the more the world embraces clean energy like solar and wind, the more it must embrace something markedly less-clean—diesel fuel or batteries.In a building cut-off from a reliable grid powered by fossil fuel, diesel generators might be used to cover the hours of darkness when solar...

Fusion energy could be developed faster with the use of permanent magnets, according to researchers from Princeton Plasma Physics Laboratory (PPPL).source:E&T MagazinePermanent magnets can greatly simplify the design and production of fusion facilities, called stellarators, which are comprised of a set of complex twisted coils that spiral like stripes on a candy cane to produce magnetic fields that shape and control the plasma that fuels fusion reactions.Refrigerator-like permanent magnets could produce the hard part of these essential fields, the researchers believe, allowing simple, non-...
