As a bonus, the tech onboard the balloons runs on solar power. The world’s largest pumped-energy-storage station—a technique that stores energy by pumping it uphill to a reservoir—is set to complete phase two of its construction in 2023. China's Big Hydro Plans China is in the midst of a gigantic buildup of hydro-energy capabilities.

Singapore’s HES unveils plans for regional hydrogen-electric passenger aircraft: Element One

Green Car Congress

Element One is designed to fly 4 passengers for 500 km to 5000 km (311 miles to 3100 miles ) depending on whether hydrogen is stored in gaseous or liquid form. HES is now in discussion with industrial-scale hydrogen producers to explore energy-efficient refueling systems using renewable solar or wind energy produced locally.

Flexible supercapacitor sets new high for volumetric energy density

Green Car Congress

Researchers at Nanyang Technological University (NTU) in Singapore, Tsinghua University in China, and Case Western Reserve University have developed a flexible micro-scale supercapacitor with what they believe is the highest reported volumetric energy density for carbon-based microscale supercapacitors to date: 6.3

MIT and Moscow State collaborating on advanced batteries, metal-air batteries and reversible fuel/electrolysis cells

Green Car Congress

This allows storage of charge at a higher volumetric or gravimetric density, which translates to a higher stored energy density or storage capacity for a given size or weight. We need a way of producing alternative cleaner fuels, minimizing use of hydrocarbons, or at a minimum recycling the carbon dioxide to form these more useful fuels.

Flexible Monocopter Drone Can Be Completely Rolled Up

Cars That Think

The monocopter we're looking at here, called F-SAM, comes from the Singapore University of Technology & Design, and we've written about some of their flying robots in the past, including this transformable hovering rotorcraft. Currently, F-SAM can be folded into a compact form and stored inside a container.
