Eco Factor: Energy saving springs made from carbon nanotubes could save energy for a longer period of time without any loss of performance. Researchers at MIT have suggested that carbon nanotubes, if used as springs could store energy in a more...

Eco Factor: Batteries that are able to store 1MW of power will be a boon for renewable energy developers. The amount of energy that can be generated from renewable sources of energy is infinite. The problem doesn’t come with the amount of energy.

Eco Factor: New technology allows excess renewable energy to be converted into methane for cloudy, windless days. The major problem associated with any renewable energy generator, especially wind and solar power systems, is that they are highly...

A number of other technologies for power storage have been investigated, but to date no widely available, affordable solution to the challenge of mass power storage has been found. Primarily due to load leveling issue. The demand for electricity from...

Here is yet another energy efficient innovation. Thanks to Valeo for developing supercapacitor-based energy storage to provide a support to its regenerative braking. It is an extension to Valeo's award-winning StARS stop-start system. The...

The world's lowest density solid will now help in accelerating green technology implications. It is a strange material called Aerogel. It has a porous and sponge-like structure - more than 99% of its volume is in open space. GreenShift is getting...
