Freevolt pulls electricity out of thin air


Tired of replacing batteries that go out at the worst possible time; tired of recharging devices that should have made us forget the burden of using wired connections? Well, maybe Freevolt will finally be able to help with that, as it can literally pull energy out of thin air.

Nikola Labs iPhone case promises unlimited free energy harvested from the air

There's no denying battery life is the single, most annoying issue, people have to endure these days; and now there's a iPhone case that promises to extend battery life by harvesting free energy out of thin air.

Bloom Box - Energy Revolution in the Making?

Will this be it? The next era in energy and power revolution?

I know it sounds too good to be true, but that's exactly what K.R. Sridahr and Bloom Energy say they're about to da as their Bloom Box reaches public announcement (scheduled for tomorrow.)


Can you imagine powering an entire home thanks to just two small cubes (like the ones in the image)?

And forget those noise mechanical generators, this has absolutely no moving parts, and relies on "simple" chemical reactions - a fuel cell - but unlike the other available fuel cells, this one is expected to be much more affordable. At least, once it get to "mass production", in 5 to 10 years.
electrochemical reactions are much more efficient than combustion to shaft to electrical generation techniques

K.R. Sridahr invented one such thing for NASA a while back, for operation on Mars, but his sights are set on a more earthly goal this time: to place a Bloom Box in every home within a decade.


And if you think this is but a mad dream with no real product, let me tell you that Google has been using Bloom Boxes for over a year now, and other big players are using it as well, Ebay, FedEx, etc. have been evaluating Bloom Boxes with seemingly great results and savings.

If all goes well, we might expect to have a small sized noiseless "magic box" that can power up all our electronics, greatly reducing the stress on (or even removing the need for) our costly electric infrastructure.

Dell Solar Parking Lot

This is how all parking lots should look like:

This new solar parking lot at DELL has 512 solar panels, and provides shelter for 56 cars, and can generate up to 131,000 kWh per year.

Heat Powered LEDs

You've probably seen electronic candles using LEDs; but watching a LED powered by a candle, that's an entire different story.

This system uses waste heat from any source to create electric energy, which - as you might imagine - would be extremely helpful in a world where most of our machines and equipment (from the CPU inside your computer to the engine powering your car) create an insane ammount of wasted heat.

But even stranger, is the heat-to-sound energy transfer shown on the following video.
