Because we are convinced that biomass is an important part of a renewable energy mix, we were looking for a small scale, decentralized power generation system for people who life off the grid or want to net meter back to the grid. Decentralized facilities have a lower carbon footprint for harvesting and transportation of biomass fuel, compared to the large scale centralized facilities. With rapidly rising costs for hydro, it also could be a lucrative sideline for farmers or light industrial businesses. It is the most competitive renewable energy you can get compared to PV, Wind or other renewable energy sources.…

NASA   See full coverage In the West, sustainability often means a better light bulb, or a new lithium-ion battery in an electric car, or a smarter way of powering all the appliances we’ve long since grown dependent on. The fate of global sustainability, however, is ultimately tied to the billion-plus people worldwide who still have no electricity at all. In the coming decades, we have to figure out how to rein in energy use as a planet – while ramping up alternative sources of…

FUEL SOURCES: Fuel, Methane, Landfills Gas, Oil/Gas, Syngas, Waste Oil, Natural Gas, Gasogene, Mazout, Biomass Gasifier, Fuel+Water Overview The GEK TOTTI ( Gasifier Experimenter’s Kit, Tower of Total Thermal Integration ) is the gasifier system at the heart of the Power Pallet. This document will introduce the major subsystems of the GEK TOTTI gasifier in the sequence that starts from the feedstock hopper, proceeding through the drying bucket and reactor, and ends with the gas filter. Notes about nomenclature and terms The following are some…

How Does a Generator Create Electricity? How Generators Work   Generators are useful appliances that supply electrical power during a power outage and prevent discontinuity of daily activities or disruption of business operations. Generators are available in different electrical and physical configurations for use in different applications. In the following sections, we will look at how a generator functions, the main components of a generator, and how a generator operates as a secondary source of electrical power in residential and industrial applications. How does a…

Contribute to the Movenergy Campaign Crowdfunding Turbine torque The Movenergy Engine uses intermittent gas power to spin a turbine. It is a reaction engine, rather than an expansion engine, like the steam engine or IC piston engine. In short pre-compressed air from the compressor is mixed with fuel and fed into the combustion chambers simultaneously, the compressed air/fuel mixture is ignited in the fully sealed combustion chamber and the hot gases of combustion are released through a venturi, turning the turbine in the opposite direction.…

  Contribute to the Movenergy Campaign Crowdfunding For many people contemplating producing their own electricity supply by micro-generation, part of the attraction is the possibility of exporting any surplus to the national grid. The National Grid Confusingly, exporting electricity to the grid does not actually involve selling it to the National Grid itself – one of the largest utilities in the world, which owns the high-voltage transmission system in England and Wales and operates the system across Britain. Instead, supplying the grid with surplus power…

Contribute to the Movenergy Campaign Crowdfunding 1. Introduction In the Automobile industry an electronic control unit (ECU) is a embedded electronic device, basically a digital computer, that read signals coming from sensors placed at various parts and in different components of the car and depending on this information controls various important units e.g. engine and automated operations within the car and also keeps a check on the performance of some key components used in the car. An ECU is basically made up of hardware and…
