Oct. 5 – A technology and innovation explosion cold be on the horizon as U.S. businesses look for new ways to deliver eco-friendly energy. Some say it could look a lot like the internet boom. A technology and innovation explosion could be on the horizon as US businesses look for new ways to deliver energy across the country. Manoush Zomorodi reports.

When people think solar power, they think blue photovoltaic cells, but thermal solar technology has been around for decades. Santiago Seaga, CEO of Abengoa Solar, talks about how thermal solar harvests the sun’s rays to turn water into steam, driving a turbine and creating electricity, even at night.

Oil will be obsolete soon

Vote Ron Paul!

Imagine cutting steel or running a car with ordinary water. The new energy source will be Water. Don’t believe me? Watch this video! This new technology will make Oil obsolete.

“I believe that water will one day be employed as fuel, that hydrogen and oxygen which constitute it, used singly or together, will furnish an inexhaustible source of heat and light, of an intensity of which coal is not capable.”

– Jules Verne, The Mysterious Island (1874)

Taiwan’s Industrial Technology Research Institute (ITRI) showed off its new concept car, the “Ecooter” this week. The vehicle seats just one and will be on display next month in Milan, Italy. Here’s a sneak peak:

STORY:
The Ecooter’s key features include a diamond-shaped four-wheel chassis system. Now this allows Ecooter to make a 360-degree turn with a radius of only 1.2 meters.

The Ecooter also features an auto-tilting system that keeps it from rolling over in sharp turns. This makes it very nimble in confined areas and cities.

James Wang is the Director of ITRI’s Intelligent Mobility Technology Division.

[James Wang, IRTI]:
“IRTI wants to develop this vehicle to have clean energy in order to solve problems such as pollution, traffic congestion and energy consumption that we face today in urban societies. We hope that, this small electrical vehicle and the public transportation system together can provide a convenient, energy-efficient and traffic free transportation tool.”

Wang also said the electric-powered Ecooter consumes roughly one-third of the energy of traditional vehicles.
ITRI plans to debut the Ecooter next month at the International Motorcycle Exhibition in Milan, Italy.

ABSTRACT
A new ultracapacitor technology from APCT (US-Ukrainian start-up) provides an efficient, low cost means of managing power delivery for applications ranging from hand held devices to hybrid vehicles and power generating systems of all types. When integrated into battery powered devices, the APCT technology can extend battery life by as much as 400%, lowering the cost of batteries and reducing hazardous waste streams. Fast charge/discharge cycling with 95% efficiency improves performance and lowers cost for fuel cell vehicles and hybrid electric automobiles. High energy density and hundreds of thousands of cycles provides critical load leveling…
