MIT researchers have demonstrated that an aircraft with a 5-meter wingspan can sustain steady-level flight using ionic-wind propulsion. He expects that in the near-term, such ion wind propulsion systems could be used to fly less noisy drones. The MIT team’s final design resembles a large, lightweight glider.

The stator contains the copper windings that the electricity flows through—and this is where the majority of electrical losses occur. a high proportion of the electrical energy is converted into mechanical energy. This creates more space for the cooling channel next to the flat wire winding phases. © Fraunhofer ICT.

The ability to convert electrical energy into hydrogen reducing equivalents is fundamental to an enormous number of processes. With technology based on patents developed right here at MIT by Daniel Nocera, Sun Catalytix now has the support it needs to bring breakthrough energy storage technologies to market more quickly.

A member of the American Academy of Arts and Sciences , he also was a Fellow of the American Physical Society and a member of the MIT board of trustees. Today solar is the third largest renewable-electricity sector behind hydropower and wind. He retired five years later as AT&T’s vice chairman and chief financial officer.

Among the most articulate and almost certainly the wonkiest is Jesse Jenkins , a professor of engineering at Princeton University, where he heads the ZERO Lab—the Zero-carbon Energy systems Research and Optimization Laboratory, that is. How fast can you ramp your power plants up and down to handle the variability from wind and solar?
