On September 22, 1791, the famous chemist and physicist Michael Faraday was born. He is responsible for the discovery of the electromagnetic induction, the laws of electrolysis and best known for his inventions, which laid the foundations to the electrical industry.
Today for us it's pretty normal that electricity can be transmitted on a wire, because it's part of our daily life. But, in the early 18th century, when the English nature-scientist Stephen Gray was able to show that electricity really can be transmitted on a string of copper, it was an unheard-of revelation.
On March 20, 1800, Italian physicist Alessandro Volta informed the British Royal Society in London about his newly invented electric power source, the Voltaic pile, the first energy source technology capable of producing a steady, continuous flow of electricity.
As you might know for sure, Benjamin Franklin wasn't only an enthusiastic scientist, inventor, and author, but also one of the Founding Fathers of the United States. His roots lay back in Boston, where he was born in 1706 as the son of a chandler. Therefore the family could not afford the adequate education for their 17 children....
When Heads of State meet today (22 May) and discuss energy policy they will remain silent on one of the key problems in the EU internal electricity market, writes Claude Turmes.
The hybrid cars are the talk of the town these days. They come in great colors, sleek styles, and they will make your commute less expensive. A hybrid car is a vehicle that is run on electricity. A combination of a conventional propulsion system and a rechargeable energy storage system that is onboard the vehicle work together to give the vehicle better fuel economy than cars that run strictly on gasoline.
Eine neue Anode soll Mobilelektronik bis zu 40 Prozent länger laufen lassen – und vielleicht auch Elektroautos. Das Akku-Start-up Amprius hat eine Batterie entwickelt, die rund das Doppelte der Energiemenge herkömmlicher Stromspeicher vorhalten soll – nanostrukturierte Silizium-Anoden machen es möglich. Die junge Firma arbeitet derzeit mit mehreren bislang noch ungenannten Elektronikriesen zusammen, um die Batterie bis 2012 auf den Markt zu bringen. Für den Endverbraucher hieße das praktisch bis zu 40 Prozent längere Laufzeit für mobile Geräte. Amprius arbeitet außerdem mit mehreren großen Automobilherstellern zusammen, um das Anodenmaterial auch auf seine Verwendbarkeit in Elektroautos zu testen. Auch hier werden allerdings noch keine konkreten Namen genannt.
Message from the Chair December 2012 In April 2012, the Ontario Minister of Energy established the Ontario Distribution Sector Review Panel to provide expert advice to the government on how to improve efficiencies in the sector with the aim of reducing the financial...
