RSS feeds Inside Renewable Energy Wind Technologies: Size Matters, But Only So Much
The wind turbine – standing tall, sleek and uniquely modern – is arguably the most powerful symbol of the technological advancement of renewables. And although size is typically the metric for such progress, it’s the less visible improvements that have allowed the industry to grow. Wind technologies have come a long way over the last 30 years, starting as custom-made amalgamations of farm machinery in Denmark and lab experiments in the U.S., and evolving to become the giant sentries of today’s energy transition. In this podcast, we’ll look at More >

MICHAEL KANELLOS 02 21 10 Video: The Bloom Box Lands, And The Unanswered Questions Are…
You’ve heard of the Bloom Box. Here’s the video.
After nearly nine years, Bloom Energy has finally publicly shown off its fuel cell that it says could replace a large hunk of the grid someday.
The Bloom Box–which costs $700,000 to $800,000 now–essentially is a device for making electricity on demand. Methane or other hydrocarbons are fed into the device along with oxygen. The mixture is heated to around 1,000 Celsius. As the gases pass through catalytic plates, the machine produces electricity, some heat, carbon dioxide and water. Other More >
