Space-based solar power is an idea so beautiful, so tantalizing that some argue it is a wish worth fulfilling. Space authorities in China aim to put a small test satellite in low Earth orbit (LEO) later this decade. Ideas to put megawatt-scale systems in GEO sometime in the 2030s have been floated but not yet funded.

In August, a groundbreaking ceremony was held in Ovadan-Depe near the capital of Ashgabad in Turkmenistan to launch the construction of a major plant focused on the conversion of natural gas into synthetic gasoline. DCK-10 ensures high oxygenate conversion rates. without isolation of methanol as an intermediate.

I'm thinking of making some modifications though now that I see how reliable the conversion itself is. Nothing official yet but here are some ideas I'm toying around with. I'm looking into some options for a low cost over haul here. I keep going in circles, but I'm leaning towards not selling it now.

Since its first funding opportunity announcement in April 2009, the US Department of Energy’s (DOE) ARPA-E (Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy) has received scores of promising ideas for the next generation of energy technologies. However, ARPA-E can only fund a fraction of these promising ideas at the levels required.

The idea that a researcher should program computer systems interactively was anathema to them. Busicom had hired Intel to develop a set of custom chips for a low-cost calculator and had sent three engineers to Santa Clara to work on the chip designs. They were rather hostile to the idea,” he recalled, for several reasons.

Furthermore, the batteries in a PHEV are generally smaller than those in any other electric vehicle constructed today and the battery savings in the PHEV from a pure BEV can easily make up for the cost of the small liquid-fueled engine, resulting in a lower-cost production vehicle for mass distribution.

There are also innovative ideas that could be explored if businesses wish to install chargers in their employee’s home – e.g. forms of tax incentives. Some smaller population locations may have constrained capacity, which won’t be cost effective to upgrade. However, if an EV charger is retrofitted this cost more than doubles.

Excluding the impact of Cybertruck, the impact of pricing actions was largely offset by reductions in per-unit costs and the recognition of revenue from Autopark feature for certain vehicles in the U.S. In fact, if we exclude Cybertruck and Fremont Model 3 ramp costs, the revenue from Autopark auto margins improved slightly.

In addition, producing different catalysts for OER and HER requires different equipment and processes, which could increase the cost. An expensive barrier is needed to separate the two electrolytes, adding to the cost of the device, said graduate student Haotian Wang, lead author of the study. —Haotian Wang.
