MIT proof-of-concept demo of ionic wind propulsion for aircraft

Green Car Congress

The aircraft has no moving parts, does not depend on fossil fuels to fly, and is completely silent. The researchers describe their proof of concept for electroaerodynamic (EAD) airplane propulsion in a paper in the journal Nature. Most have been powered by fossil-fuel combustion. Sped up 2x.

Researchers develop free-standing nanowire mesh for direct solar water-splitting to produce H2; new design for “artificial leaf”

Green Car Congress

The mesh with BiVO 4 nanowire photoanode for water oxidation and Rh-SrTiO 3 nanowire photocathode for water reduction produces hydrogen gas without an electron mediator. an “artificial leaf” to produce hydrogen—based on a nanowire mesh that lends itself to large-scale, low-cost production. hydrogen evolution rate and (?)

MIT analysis finds current EVs could replace ~90% of personal vehicles now on the road based on driver’s energy consumption

Green Car Congress

Developing the concepts and mathematical models required for a testable, quantitative analysis is helpful in these situations, where so much is at stake. This is an issue where common sense can lead to strongly opposing views. Many seem to feel strongly that the potential is small, and the rest are convinced that is it large.

MIT team outlines path to low-cost solar-to-fuels devices; the artificial leaf

Green Car Congress

A team of researchers at MIT has described a framework for efficiently coupling the power output of a series-connected string of single-band-gap solar cells to an electrochemical process that produces storable fuels. of sunlight into fuel. Earlier post.) Earlier post.) —Winkler et al.

Task 39 report finds significant advances in advanced biofuels technologies; hydrotreating accounting for about 2.4% of global biofuels production

Green Car Congress

Hydrotreatment—the chemical reaction of vegetable oils, animal-based waste fats, and by-products of vegetable oil refining with hydrogen—produces hydrocarbons with properties superior to conventional biodiesel and fossil diesel. Neste Oil (in 4 facilities worldwide) and Dynamic Fuels apply hydrotreatment of oils.
