Energy and batteries: solar and nuclear power, storage and the grid.
- Graphene-based harvester uses magnetic fields from electrical wiring
Researchers from the University of Arkansas and the University of Michigan developed a graphene-based energy harvester that generates electricity from the magnetic fields of nearby AC wiring. The system powers a wireless temperature sensor via electromagnetic induction without batteries.
- Average motors operate inefficiently due to excess load
Approximately 50 million electric motors in the U.S. waste enough electricity to equal nearly one-third of total power demand.
- Type One raised $200 million
Type One Energy secured $200 million in Series B funding to advance its 400-megawatt commercial power plant project. CEO Christofer Mowry stated this capital is sufficient to complete the first plant by 2034 with less spending than competitors.
