Space-based Solar Power: A Great Idea Whose Time May Never Come

Cars That Think

The scene: A space-based solar power station called the Converter being commissioned some time in the Future. It’s pretty clear Asimov had no idea how a system like the Converter would actually work, except in the most basic terms. This article appears in the June 2024 print issue as “The Chasm Between Imagination and Feasibility.”

NEC, NEC TOKIN and Tohoku University develop spin-Seebeck thermoelectric device w/ 10x better conversion efficiency

Green Car Congress

Thermoelectric conversion technology that converts energy abandoned as waste heat back to electric power is strongly anticipated to be used for saving energy and reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This is a phenomenon in which a temperature gradient applied in a magnetic material produces a spin current along the temperature gradient.

Wind-to-Hydrogen Tech Goes to Sea

Cars That Think

They are highly automated production islands that directly convert wind energy to hydrogen, with a few of them processing the gas into fuels and other goods. Longer term, California, the Canadian province of Nova Scotia, Japan, and Western Australia are all looking to the sea to help meet their demands for hydrogen.

Green Hydrogen Cars: How They are Different?

Get Electric Vehicle

To put it another way, instead of splitting water into hydrogen and oxygen with electricity, these two components are joined to make water and electricity The electricity is then utilized to power the car’s drive train, leaving just water as a waste product. The oxygen comes from the air, while the hydrogen comes from a tank.
