Researchers develop wave-energy-driven CO2 reduction system for production of carbon-based liquid fuels

Green Car Congress

Moreover, it features a higher wave energy conversion efficiency and power output as compared to previous TENG designs and is able to float on the water’s surface, which minimizes both the environmental impact and simplifies operation and these features are essential for the practical use of TENGs on ocean wave energy harvesting application.

Supercap-based e-KERS for ICEV delivers approx. 20% reduction in fuel consumption

Green Car Congress

The system was conceived to recover the vehicle kinetic energy during braking phases by charging the supercapacitor, whose stored energy is employed by the MGU for the successive vehicle acceleration. The supercapacitors bank is electrically interfaced, by means of an expressly designed power converter (PC), to a motor-generator unit (MGU).
