After the Cybertruck-compatible camping tents and interesting tracks that can convert the Tesla’s fancy pickup into a snowmobile, it’s now time for the CyberTrailer to shine. A Living Vehicle’s camping solution to tow behind the impressive Cybertruck, the trailer is not only similar by name, in fact, it resembles the Tesla pickup truck in more ways […]
An artist’s impression of Space Solar’s Cassiopeia satellite beaming power to Earth We need new sources of energy, and we need them quickly. As net zero targets draw ever closer, increasing energy consumption makes them harder to achieve – and all the more important. In the search for a solution, some eyes are turning to […]
Scientists in Czechia have conducted a techno-economic analysis of a green hydrogen production system powered exclusively by photovoltaic and wind energy. The system uses surplus energy for water treatment and, according to its creator, can achieve a levelized cost of hydrogen of $3.12/kg. May 10, 2024 Lior Kahana An international research team has performed a […]
