Ny tekniks artiklar om Andrea Rossis energikatalysaor, eller “e-cat” som den kallas, som publicerades under våren verkade lovande. Det verkade som om Rossi, en italiensk uppfinnare, vid upprepade tillfällen kunde demonstrera lyckade replikeringar där energikatalysatorn genererade mer energi än vad som tillfördes. Detta sades ske genom någon form av kall fusion eller någon annan form […]
Aktiebloggen Redeye citerar mitt inlägg om Andrea Rossis energikatalysator och jag vill därför förtydliga att jag inte hävdar att Rossis apparat fungerar. Ingen ny information av avgörande betydelse har så vitt jag vet framkommit, alltså gäller fortfarande att vänta och se.
För något år sedan skrev jag om spännande nya forskningsprojekt inom fission, liksom om betydelsefulla framsteg inom konventionell fusionsforskning (här och här). Nu har något nytt och oväntat inträffat: så kallad “kall fusion”, eller en likvärdig process, kan eventuellt ha förverkligats. Det innebär i så fall inget mindre än en sensation och början på en […]
Why is it that so few steel plants practice hot charging, i.e. why is the material allowed to cool down after casting only to be reheated again in the next processing step? Continuous casting is today the most frequently used method for production of steel workpieces. The continuous casting process was developed with high efficiency in […]
Imagine an e–book consisting only of a paper battery with electronic ink and circuits printed directly on the battery. Sounds interesting? This may become reality with a newly invented battery. Read on. Algal–blooms have been a major problem in the Baltic sea over the last decade or so. Causes are attributed to be global warming, excess […]
The International maritime organisation (IMO) is about to ban the high sulphur content fuel burned by most of the world’s ships today. According to New Scientist this will reduce sulphur dioxide (SO2) emissions will by as much as 90 percent, and with them the resulting haze of sulphate particles.
As I wrote in a previous post, Microsoft founder Bill Gates is investing in research on, and development of, the so–called travelling wave reactor. According to an article published by Ny Teknik today, Terrapower, the development company owned by Gates, is planning reactors in different sizes ranging from 0.1 GW to several GW. However, we’ll have […]
During the last week I’ve come across two interesting pieces of news that breethes enthusiasm about the future of energy. One was the talk of Microsoft founder Bill Gates at this years TED conference. The other, reported on January 28 by, is a claim by the National Ignition Facility (NIF) program at the Lawrence Livermore […]
