Scientists at the University of Delaware are developing a new low-cost material for hydrogen storage—carbonized chicken feathers (CCFF)—that they say could meet the DOE requirements for hydrogen storage and are competitive with carbon nanotubes and metal hydrates at a tiny fraction of their cost.

The material could allow hydrogen to be stored in a cheap and practical way for transport applications, the company says. Once the hydride has been heated and the hydrogen driven off, the waste beads are moved to and stored in another lightweight plastic tank.

SKF is also a partner in the Ricardo-led KinerStor project to demonstrate the viability of low-cost flywheel hybrid systems ( earlier post ). The flywheel’s stored energy is sufficient to power the car for short periods. The flywheel technology is relatively cheap. million Swedish kronor (US$1.05

To what extent folks will actually end up doing this uncertain—these sorts of robot app store-things haven’t been all that successful in the past, so as you’re thinking about what you might do with Rae, I’d focus on what it comes with rather than what others could potentially make for it.

If placed in a container that has a barrier to separate the two sides, the two streams of bubbles can be collected and stored, and used later to deliver power: for example, by feeding them into a fuel cell that combines them once again into water while delivering an electric current.

And with over 500 partner stores, those bikes show up where you can actually test ride them or return for support when you need it. If you’ve ever tested a budget bike with a loud, clickity-clackity front fork, you’ve experience cheap suspension. That means you get better-designed e-bikes delivered more quickly!

The researchers believe this new type of photoelectrode is not only cheap to produce, but can also be recreated on a larger scale for mass and worldwide use. A promising way of storing solar energy is via chemical fuels, in particular hydrogen as it is considered as a future energy carrier.

The time was right because of the imminence of three hardware developments: the first low-cost, bit-mapped personal computer, the first low-cost laser printer, and a decline in price of high-density memory chips. Such an architecture stores data as it is received, stacking it like a pile of books.

But so far, their commercialization is limited to large-scale uses such as storing energy on the grid. It opens up a path to making low-cost, compact sodium batteries practical. Abundant and cheap, and with similar chemical properties as lithium, sodium is a promising replacement for lithium in next-generation batteries.

You waste a little bit of silicon, but silicon’s pretty cheap. Not only were development costs absorbed in company overhead, but there was no markup to pay, as there would have been inf the chips had been built by another company. When the design of the Commodore 64 began, the overriding goals were simplicity and low cost.

For some context on what you’re about to see, a brief callback to a year ago last August, when I predicted what was in store for 2022: It’s possible, even likely, that Tesla will build some sort of Tesla Bot by sometime next year, as Musk says. And it is expected to cost much less than a car—much less than $20,000 would be my guess.
