Batteries that exploit quantum phenomena to gain, distribute and store power promise to beat conventional chemical batteries in certain low-power applications. University of Tokyo and other researchers have takne advantage of an unintuitive quantum process that disregards the conventional notion of causality to improve the performance of so-called quantum batteries. Quantum batteries are still laboratory …
Factories in Space (www.factoriesinspace.com) has tracked space solar power and wireless power transfer companies since 2018. There are 52 primarily commercial entries as of September 2023, which makes it one of the largest public lists. Survey of Space Based Solar Power Efforts as of 2023 In this survey, the range of solutions and applications is …
The current interest in Space Based Solar Power (SBSP) is opening the way to an eruption of projects. The permanent sun illumination met in Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO) could enable the cost per continuous watt to be competitive with ground based like solar and wind. There have been a number of assumptions made in the …
Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe announced $80 million for the Saskatchewan Research Council (SRC) funding to demonstrate the Westinghouse eVinci micro nuclear reactor in Saskatchewan. SRC will apply the research and knowledge gained from the licensing and deployment of an initial microreactor to support the Saskatchewan nuclear industry to better understand this type of technology and …
Estimated global data center electricity consumption in 2022 was 240-340 TWh, or around 1-1.3% of global final electricity demand. “It is really hard to quantify how much demand is needed for things like ChatGPT,” David Groarke, managing director at consultant Indigo Advisory Group, said in a recent phone interview. By 2030 AI could account for …
he U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) has voted to issue a construction permit to Kairos Power for the Hermes demonstration molten salt nuclaer reactor to be built at the Heritage Center Industrial Park in Oak Ridge, Tennessee. The Kairos Power FHR (KP-FHR) is a novel advanced reactor technology that leverages TRISO fuel in pebble form …
Tesla plans to restart the third phase of its Shanghai plant project, possibly focusing on the production of the $25,000 model it will launch in the future, according to a report in local media outlet LatePost in December. Tesla began preparations for the construction of the Giga Shanghai phase three vehicle factory in 2021 and …
Chinese universities and research labs have published experimental evidence in support of LK99 as a room temperature superconductor. The amount of superconducting material that is made in pile of LK99 powder is small. The LK99 needs to have precisely located copper and phosphorous. This leaves one dimensional molecular chains of superconducting material. All previous superconductors …
Youtuber BoostedBoiz modifies his Tesla Model S Plaid by removing panels, adding in aerodynamics and better wheels. He then drags races it for record times. They tied the 8.73 second record for the fastest Tesla to go down a drag strip and then got an 8.714 second record. Car Wow has quarter mile times for …
Tesla had a record high weekly insured registrations in China. There were 18,300 registrations. This would be an annualized runrate of 950,000 cars just for sales in China. $TSLA 🇨🇳NEWS: Tesla China insured units < Dec > (27)-3 : 17,400 4-10 : 15,40011-17 : 18,300 pic.twitter.com/dGfiO1G5d8 — Tsla Chan (@Tslachan) December 19, 2023 Brian WangBrian …
As of November 2022, China held a total of 2,510 GW of installed capacity, 44% of which is coal, 16.3% hydro, 14.7% solar, 13.9% wind, 4.5% natural gas, and 18.4% other fuels. Nuclear only accounted for 2.2% of the total domestic capacity, the least of all sources. Nuclear has a higher capacity factor and delived …
