Convert CO2 (+ water + electricity) into ethanol fuel by "nano-spike" catalysis!
Nano-Spike catalysis; Discovery of the Oak Ridge National Laboratory made a little ... by chance! The process makes it possible to obtain ethanol from CO2, electricity and water in the presence of a specific nano-catalyst called Nano-Spike. The reported return on electricity is 60 to 70%, which is acceptable provided renewable electricity is used (the process [...]
electric transport (Lipo) Heat VS (petrol): criteria for choosing a battery and comparative calculations
The performance of electric transport depends strongly on the quality of their batteries. It is currently the real Achilles heel that limits the development of electric propulsion, both in road transport, maritime and ... that air obviously. We present a quick state of the art Lithium-Polymer battery performance currently on the [...]
