- Lincoln Financial Field (Eagles) uses 11,000 solar panels and 14 wind turbines for self-sustaining power. It generates over 4x the energy it needs for each home season! http://visual.ly/feel-power-shocking-facts-about-electricity-usage-united-states 101 comments nfl
- New generation of ‘flow batteries’ could eventually sustain a grid powered by the sun and wind - China is building the world's largest vanadium flow battery, which should come online in 2020. The battery will store 800 megawatt-hours of energy, enough to power thousands of homes. http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2018/10/new-generation-flow-batteries-could-eventually-sustain-grid-powered-sun-and-wind 16 comments worldnews
- We can get 100 percent of our energy from wind, water, and solar power. And we can do it today— efficiently, reliably, safely, sustainably, and economically. http://spectrum.ieee.org/energy/renewables/wind-water-and-solar-power-for-the-world/0 1237 comments science
- Engineers fly first-ever plane with no moving parts. The light aircraft is powered by an "ionic wind"—a silent flow of ions that is produced aboard the plane, and that generates enough thrust to propel the plane over a sustained, steady flight. https://techxplore.com/news/2018-11-first-ever-plane.html?fbclid=iwar0uj-hsmqa7bfxixe8px8unr71tmkzvmbpw7cunwjfantvosolt3yqhgrg 5 comments technology
