Technology is bringing the big things into small ones. Now a days, while most of the wind turbines are getting bigger, scientists at Poland-based company Omni3D, have made AirEnergy3D, a new 3D printed wind turbine that can fold into your backpack and charge your laptop.
Scientists Developed Flexible Solar Cell That Can Be Woven Into Fabric
Scientists have been trying for decades to develop functional, flexible solar cells, because they could be integrated into fabrics and used to coat irregular shapes and surfaces. And now scientists at Fudan University in Shanghai have developed polymer solar cells that are light, flexible, cheap to produce, and thin enough to be used in fabrics.
Japan To Build World’s First Huge Floating Solar Power Plants
Lately, it’s been reported that Japan has decided to build world’s first huge floating solar power plants. One power plant will have a power capacity of 1.7 MW, while the other will have a capacity of 1.2 MW. Both the floating solar power plants will be running successfully by April of next year.
Researchers Made Transparent Solar Cells That Could Cover Windows, Smartphone To Produce Solar Energy
To have solar energy, you are required to have solar cell. Until now, the solar cells that we have seen are nontransparent. But now, researchers in Michigan State University in the US, have developed transparent solar cells that can be used to cover windows, buildings or smartphone screens to produce solar energy.
