Finally New kinds of Energy at the horizon! MIT scientists say

A Leaf. Yes, a new device like a "leaf" to change and to satisfy our hunger of energy! A research team from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) claims to have made a drastic discovery in the world of sustainable energy by developing the first "practical" artificial leaf.

These leaves are actually advanced solar cells that mimic photosynthesis, the process by which their real-life counterparts convert sunlight and water into energy. According Nocera, the leaves, although small in size, ""could produce enough electricity to supply a house in a developing country with electricity for a day.

It is about the size of a poker playing card and fashioned from "inexpensive materials that are widely available", such as silicon, nickel, cobalt, and some electronics. It'll also require about a gallon of water in the process. Nocera says that the leaf is able to work under "simple conditions" and is highly stable. In laboratory research, he showed that his team's leaf worked continuously for "at least 45 hours" without a drop in activity."

AND A previously unknown phenomenon :
MIT researchers discover new way of producing electricity

Please watch the video inside the article.

A team of scientists at MIT have discovered a previously unknown phenomenon that can cause powerful waves of energy to shoot through minuscule wires known as carbon nanotubes. The discovery could lead to a new way of producing electricity, the researchers say. This New discovery shows carbon nanotubes can produce powerful waves that could be harnessed for new energy systems.


A carbon nanotube (shown in illustration) can produce a very rapid wave of power when it is coated by a layer of fuel and ignited, so that heat travels along the tube.

The phenomenon, described as thermopower waves, “opens up a new area of energy research, which is rare,” says Michael Strano, MIT’s Charles and Hilda Roddey Associate Professor of Chemical Engineering, who was the senior author of a paper describing the new findings that appeared in Nature Materials on March 7. Like a collection of flotsam propelled along the surface by waves traveling across the ocean, it turns out that a thermal wave — a moving pulse of heat — traveling along a microscopic wire can drive electrons along, creating an electrical current.

It would be a matter of a real revolution in the field of the energy. The Sun is the main electric power supply on Earth and would be obvious to use it in order to satisfy the energetic hunger of a more and more starved humanity.

After the Japan Nuclear Emergency thet spread Terror world-wide, the OLD Nuclear Power Plants they are destined to close for ever.

A future with a new global and not sustainable fossil fuels slavery?
Impossible! This means only a new terrible World WAR!

What now? We will have to return to the Middle Age?

No. We have all the "cards" to play a new game on this planet in perfect balace with Nature and Mother Earth.

This is a revolution that the World waiting from a long, long time!
We have no other choice.

I don't know why, but I feel that we are on the edge of an epocal shift on the matter of Energy in next months...

and you wont ever hear about this again

Maybe,

But we have no choice: Change our kind energy productions or Global Destruction within a couple of years...

So basically, is it just a better version of a thermocouple?

The “Oil” or “fossil fuels” War is lost and unsustainable.
We must ask to obtain the New Energy hidden inside the desk of the dark rooms.

I want the advanced solar cells, how soon can I get them?

You can actually run on solar power at night using that tech, which is one problem with current solar tech, it doesn't work at night.

Arken, good find!
Id sure as hell like to know what happened to that electricity producing solar paint that the two Canadian scientists announced a year or so ago......
There seems to be lot of breakthroughs but never any real hardware that really works.....
Funny that.......

This technique is known in sience fields it cant kept secret anymore. I read about this a year ago in a Science Magazine, altrough, they discovered more things latly so its news anyway S&F


Edit: Ok, its from March 2010, I think it´s the same article

Accumulator?

As I said before you live in a very strange, unusual and wonderful world, Arbitraguer.

Your nose to the sky not to your toes.

It's easy:

The elite have a stranglehold on alt energy tech.

It won't be released until it must.

When must it?!

Just before not doing so would cause the party (civilization) to die out.

Nobody wants that (except stupid psychos) , so they will allow alt energy sources to pop up as the party seems to be on it's last few minutes.

They will wait until it's nearly too late, for population control, and eugenical reasons.

Its what makes the most sense, IMO.

Here are some links to Dr. Bussards "wiffle ball" FUSION device. The NAVY is interested....

Thanks Arken, we should hope this guys do the right thing. I know a hope. S&F.
