Exploring everything within renewable energy like solar panels, wind turbines, hydro, geothermal energy, battery technology, and more.
The solar power potential of the Sahara desert is absolutely massive. A solar panel in Algeria could generate 3x more electricity than the same solar panel in Germany.1 A 10,000 square kilometer solar farm in the middle of the desert would be enough to power the entire world,
3D printing has become popular with manufacturers since it provides flexible design, rapid prototyping, cost-effectiveness, waste reduction, and a way to increase sustainability in manufacturing. We’re used to seeing 3D-printed toys, shoes, tools, and now even homes, which I’ve explored in a previous video. But what if we
There’s been lot of hype about graphene since 2004, when it was first discovered and hailed as one of the most important breakthroughs in materials since the plastics revolution a century ago. But since its introduction, graphene still hasn’t hit any truly mainstream products that we can see
Energy storage is the holy grail of decarbonization. If we want to get rid of fossil fuels for good, we need to be able store a large amount of surplus renewables over time. The current technologies available, like lithium-ion batteries, may not have enough capacity to meet our power storage
Among renewables, solar energy has been growing rapidly and driving the world towards a low-carbon future. We've been seeing a wave of innovations in the field, like perovskite solar cells, solar tiles and roofs, and organic panels. But what if we could harvest solar energy from the windows
Even though the cost of solar and wind is dropping, renewables might not be sufficient to meet our clean energy demand in the future. However, nuclear power can play a key role in the decarbonization of the energy sector.1 And I’m not talking about nuclear fission. Rather, quite
While renewable energy sources like solar and wind have now become cheaper than fossil fuels1, developing long-term energy storage is key to overcome their intermittency. Lithium-ion batteries are the state-of-the-art storage technology but they can only cost-effectively provide energy for about 6 hours.2 So, what if we could extend
We have a world population expected to grow by 1.2 billion people within 15 years1, coupled with a growing demand for meat, eggs and dairy, which soak up over 70% of fresh water for crops2, plus electricity demand that’s growing even faster than population growth3 … what are we
The more the planet warms, the more we’ll need to cool down. Yet, our cooling systems are...heating...the Earth as they consume fossil-fueled energy and release greenhouse gases.1 Air Conditioning use is expected to increase from about 3.6 billion units to 15 billion by 2050.2
Solar panels are a critical technology in our move towards net zero. Even though we're seeing a decrease in silicon-based solar panel costs, we haven't seen significant efficiency improvements ... yet. But what if we could build panels using materials that aren't supply-limited and with
Given the relatively short lifespan, overheating, and battery cell supply issues of current battery technologies, they can't be used everywhere. Take satellites, high-altitude drones, healthcare, or even spacecraft, all of which require energy storage with a very long life. But some companies are claiming that diamond battery technology
I had my Tesla Powerwall installed near the end of 2020 and it's been working well so far. The Tesla Gateway has been managing when and where my solar panel energy is directed and will keep me up and running during a blackout. It's been great,
