11 Intriguing Engineering Milestones to Look for in 2023

Cars That Think

As a bonus, the tech onboard the balloons runs on solar power. The station, called Fengning and located about 200 kilometers north of Beijing, will store up to 40 gigawatt-hours of energy, and help keep the grid on clean energy when the wind isn’t blowing or the sun’s not shining. Laptops will have to follow sometime in 2026.

Aqua Metals is building a more sustainable battery recycling ecosystem

Charged EVs

Several companies are developing chemical processes, but these are still at pilot scale, and Aqua’s execs see serious challenges in delivering the required product purity and dealing with waste streams. There are real challenges with waste streams—they yield a lot of sulfuric acid and sodium sulfate, which will need to get landfilled.

Solar Smackdown in Torrance – Installer Sues City on Behalf of the Sun

Creative Greenius

After a decade in the solar power installation business, Bradley Bartz is tired of being Mr. Nice Guy. He’s filed suit against Torrance, the proud home of Exxon/Mobil’s refinery, for stopping him from installing solar panels in the Hillside Overlay district. Just two people live in its 3000+ energy-wasting square feet.

The Climate Change Caravan

Revenge of the Electric Car

The Climate Caravan includes ten friends and a solar music band, along with three solar plug-in electric Reva cars. The Revas are traveling 200km per charge on Lithium-Ion batteries (the solar adds 8km extra). We have covered 1,000 km of roads already in our solar electric cars - nearly a third of the total distance planned.

RAND study concludes use of alternative fuels by US military would convey no direct military benefit; recommends energy efficiency instead

Green Car Congress

If the US military increases its use of alternative jet and naval fuels that can be produced from coal or various renewable resources, including seed oils, waste oils and algae, there will be no direct benefit to the nation’s armed forces, according to a new RAND Corporation study. —Alternative Fuels for Military Applications.
