Wind turbines have become increasingly powerful in recent years. A number of developments have contributed to this. So more powerful turbines were developed. In addition, larger systems are being installed today than in the past. And last but not least, people are increasingly going to places where the wind blows particularly hard, namely at sea. … Read more
The Stella Line company operates a ferry connection between Gothenburg and Kiel. Some of the ships there are already powered by methanol. So far, however, these have been small amounts. In addition, the methanol used is not always generated from renewable energy sources. The environmental and climate balance of the ferries can therefore be greatly … Read more
Water is a precious commodity in the US state of California. However, it is very unevenly distributed. Because a large part of the rainfall takes place in northern California. Consumption, on the other hand, is mainly concentrated in the south of the state. Over time, a widespread system of irrigation canals has emerged, transporting the … Read more
Deutsche Bahn will rely on hydrogen in two respects in the future. On the one hand, the prototype of a new hydrogen train called Mireo Plus H was presented. This was jointly developed by Siemens and Deutsche Bahn. In the future, it will replace the thousands of diesel locomotives still on the road on non-electrified … Read more
At present, Europe is reaching significantly less natural gas than in previous years. Responsible for this is the Russian war of aggression in Ukraine. Gas is not only needed to heat homes and businesses, but also to generate electricity. This can create critical situations in winter. This applies not only to Germany but also to … Read more
In principle, the design of wind turbines goes back to the classic wind turbine. This construction also makes sense on land. However, most of the potential for wind energy is offshore. Because there is more space and the wind blows harder. The problem, however, is that design sometimes becomes an issue here. Due to the … Read more
Our ancestors discovered water as an energy source thousands of years ago. Water wheels are already known from ancient Mesopotamia. Modern man has built even more efficient models and thus generates electricity. We can also generate, capture and use energy by damming water, but so far hydroelectric power generation in Germany has only accounted for … Read more
The topic of cybercrime has become even more important in recent years. Many companies have fallen victim to so-called ransomware attacks. Data is encrypted and only released again after payment of a large sum of money. Experts have therefore been recommending more investments in cybersecurity for some time. However, this does not only apply to … Read more
The parties in the traffic light coalition have set a clear goal in their coalition agreement: two percent of the land area must be made available for wind turbines. The background is clear: this is the only way to massively increase the share of green energy, which is essential for climate protection. But setting goals … Read more
At first glance, the Super Wheel looks like a perpetual motion machine – unfortunately continuous movement without a new energy supply is still a dream. The wheel takes energy from the weight of the e-bike rider and keeps itself in motion, the battery saves a lot of energy. This greatly increases the range, but at … Read more
