Energy Ball Wind Turbine by Home Energy International

Welcome to the superb spherical Energy Ball, this has been created by Schoondijke-based Home Energy International, ok so what does the Energy Ball do?

Well the Energy Ball is a wind turbine that basically relies on the Venturi effect and with this effect it will accelerate wind velocity as air moves through the curved blades of the rotor.

Basically to cut a long story short this Energy Ball generates more power in lower wind speeds thanks to the low pressure that draws more air into the turbine, this is much better than that of the conventional prop-style turbines.

Hydrogen fuel stations increasing for the new Honda car

Hydrogen cars are set to become very popular with the news that we reported earlier that Honda are to mass produce the new FCX Clarity, as well as other automakers like BMW working hard on their hydrogen vehicle. This now means that fuel companies will now need to increase the amount of hydrogen fuel stations that they currently have. These fuelling stations are one of the most important factors for the success and future of hydrogen cars.

Having more than enough of these stations will not happen overnight, the hydrogen fuelling stations of the future might just be a part of current gasoline stations, or even new standalone stations. At this time California have 23 hydrogen fuel stations across the state, these currently fuel just a fleet of 158. This will never be enough, but there are already plans for another fourteen new fuel stations to be built.

When thinking about new hydrogen fuelling stations there are a few important issues that have to be addressed, storage, containment, delivery and safety. Once all these issue have been solved then we will see more of these new types of stations popping up around the U.S. and the rest of the world. It might even be possible for you to fill your hydrogen vehicle from home, this is done with a process of electrolysis, an electrical current can split tap water into hydrogen and oxygen.

As things stand at the moment hydrogen fuel is more expensive than fossil fuels, and there are not enough hydrogen service stations, to support the large-scale roll-out of hydrogen-powered vehicles.

February 28th Was Energy Saving Day: Did you know?

Did you know that yesterday was meant to be Energy Saving Day in the UK. I didn’t, I never once saw an advertisement. This day was being held to see how much energy we could save if we turned off all of our gadget for the day. Read more
