A linear generator can switch between a variety of fuel types without losing efficiency. The creation of this generator began in the Stanford Advanced Energy Systems Laboratory. Mainspring Energy ...

Trees and forests are an incredibly important natural resource — not only for lumber and agricultural products, but also because they maintain a huge amount of biodiversity, stabilize their local ...

This Design Idea demonstrates a simple way to turn a step input into a ramp of nearly constant slew rate. The basic circuit uses a single op-amp; a circuit built on an integrator will typically ...

Mainspring Energy has adapted its linear generators so they can run on hydrogen or ammonia fuel, on top of widely available fuels such as natural gas and biogas. “The generator has passed key tests to ...

Technically, the combustion engine in any hybrid vehicle is a range extender, but the term commonly refers to gasoline-fueled generators that are used to charge an electric vehicle’s battery pack but ...

A 200-gallon biogas generator in Oregon turns 15 pounds of food waste into cooking fuel daily. As food and yard waste decompose, methane and carbon dioxide are created, inflating the rubber bladder to ...

It’s pretty obvious that electricity is the future for our cars. But as any EV owner now can tell you, it has some limitations. Range and charging times are their biggest limitations, but the Toyota ...

A unique hybrid energy solution that ties in a rooftop solar array and a novel linear generator technology produces all power consumed at a Lineage Logistics cold warehousing facility in Colton, ...

Nobody wants to deal with a power outage. Aside from the aggravation of not having access to the internet, it can also cause serious problems like spoiling food, or extreme temperatures during summer ...
