Hywind wind turbine: Offshore floating Hywind wind turbines moored in the North Sea
(07/04/2011)

Until now offshore wind turbines have had to be firmly rooted on the seabed with large and costly subsea structures. Things are changing, however, with the advent of Statoil’s innovative new offshore floating Hywind wind turbine, the first of which is now successfully moored in the North Sea off the Norwegian coast. The Hywind turbine incorporates Trelleborg’s syntactic foam (hollow glass microspheres embedded in a binder) buoyancy technology. To reduce our dependency on fossil fuels, governm... [more]

Hydrogen hybrid: Applying hydrogen hybrid technology on cars would make a substantial positive impact on the environment
(16/03/2011)

Hydrolysis is a simple technology that has existed for decades, and it is now being tested on vehicles as a means to supplement gas and diesel combustion engines with more power and reduced emissions. Hydrolysis is facilitated by running an electric current through a body of water, which causes water molecules to be converted into hydrogen and oxygen gas. In controlled instances, the converted gas can be collected and harnessed, which was the fundamental principle behind the hydrogen hybrid c... [more]
