Thermal Energy Storage Is No Longer Just Hot Air

Cars That Think

The company is building these shipping container systems, which work like giant batteries that store energy as heat and pressurized air , rather than a chemical reaction (Cheesecake’s name is derived from a nerdy acronym for their technology.) The compressed air, now cool and easier to store, is housed in a large air tank.

Energy Harvesting for Wearable Technology Steps Up

Cars That Think

Which seems plenty attractive to a range of companies and researchers. There are, researchers have discovered, a wide range of options to harvest enough microwatts to replace wearables’ batteries. For capacitors, voltage translates to electrons stored —the voltage drop across a capacitor is proportional to its total charge.)

The Future of Moore's Law Is Inside This Willy Wonka Machine

Cars That Think

Right now, we’re sort of around the 200 million transistors per square millimeter range, and going to continue to keep trying to make that smaller. This is the critical machine, and it is made by one company in the Netherlands. Now, the mask is where you store the pattern. But that’s super wasteful. Here’s the thing.

Satellite Imagery for Everyone

Cars That Think

Being stationary with respect to Earth means that GEO satellites are always within range of a downlink station, so they can send data back to Earth in minutes. Typically, they can transmit data for only 10 minutes or so before they get out of range of a ground station. Both offer free access to a wide range of open data.
