Power-generation through the use of solar updraft towers is a fairly old concept that has only been tried at small scales until now. A more ambitious solar updraft project is underway. I dunno, maybe ...

A start-up electric vehicle charging company has come up with a unique solution for charging vehicles using wind and solar power. Change Wind is developing the Wind and Solar Tower, a freestanding ...

Researchers in Jordan and Qatar have come up with a remarkable design for a "twin technology solar system" capable of generating clean energy 24/7. This double-action design promises more than twice ...

Aldo Steinfeld, a professor at ETH Zürich’s Department of Mechanical and Process Engineering, says his system for converting ambient air into jet-ready kerosene fuel using a solar refinery tower isn’t ...

A solar tower capable of withstanding Category 1 hurricane winds (120 kmh to 153 kmh) has been shown to be commercially viable. Three Sixty Solar, a Canadian commercial and utility-scale solar ...

Breakthroughs, discoveries, and DIY tips sent six days a week. Terms of Service and Privacy Policy. At first glance, you might think the structure tucked away in a ...

In the race to transition to all-electric powertrains, the question of where the electricity will come from is often pushed aside, leading to fears that the supposedly clean EVs of the future will in ...

In theory, it's possible to create jet fuel from nothing more than water, CO2, and energy from the sun, but doing so outside of the laboratory has proved challenging. Now researchers have created the ...

A European Union-backed project to power telecom towers with solar energy has improved mobile network reliability across South Sudan, although cheaper phone and internet services for consumers are not ...

Taking carbon dioxide, water and sunlight as its only inputs, this solar thermal tower in Spain produces carbon-neutral replacement versions of diesel and jet fuel. It's a pilot plant, proving a new ...
