The new pump has no moving parts. “Instead, it relies on thermoacoustics, the interaction between sound waves and heat, to move thermal energy,” Interesting Engineering writes. The pump uses that ...

A new heat-to-energy converter has reached a record efficiency of 44% – the average steam turbine manages about 35%, for comparison. This thermophotovoltaic cell is a major step on the way to ...

Thermal batteries could transform renewable energy storage and provide a cheaper and scalable alternative to lithium-ion technology. "Intermittent wind and solar power are becoming the cheapest forms ...

Rondo Energy hopes hot bricks could help clean up manufacturing. Rondo Energy just turned on what it says is the world’s largest thermal battery, an energy storage system that can take in electricity ...

The Kraftblock team at the site of one of their firm's thermal batteries, installed at a ceramics plant. The battery is the white container connected to the building via the chrome pipes. About half ...

Heat batteries quietly solve a major transition gap, storing surplus renewable electricity as heat. Half of global energy demand is for heating, not power. They are simple, scalable, and far cheaper ...

How's this for a set of promises? Flint Engineering claims its new, flat, thermal-transfer "IsoMat" can power entire homes, cut refrigerator energy consumption by 30%, and radically speed up EV ...

The systems, which can store clean energy as heat, were chosen by readers as the 11th Breakthrough Technology of 2024. We need heat to make everything from steel bars to ketchup packets. Today, a ...

Project developers—specialist matchmakers who introduce cutting-edge technological solutions to prospective industrial users, create analyses to explain the costs and benefits of implementation, and ...

Heating and cooling in buildings account for roughly 15% of global carbon emissions, making efficiency gains disproportionately impactful. Thermal energy storage can significantly reduce emissions and ...
